Acts 23:1-35 - Corps Notes - January 6, 1977
Acts 23:1-35 January 6, 1977 I was thinking of Paul today, naturally; working Paul. I can figure out Felix, Festus, Claudius, all those fellows I can figure out, but Paul; never can figure him out. I pretty well can handle Peter. I think I can do a fairly comprehensive piece of work on Peter; but I can’t on Paul. Every time I think I’ve got Paul in the bottle, the cork flips off and he comes in a new bottle. I feel about our ministry today that just nobody’s going to figure it out. I’ve had people come and they’ll say, “Well, I wish I could understand you.” Don’t try. Forget it. Just try to love me, don’t try to understand me, because that’s an impossibility because I’m just not normative, which means you can’t put me in one little old package and keep me there for the next day or two or three. Well, tonight we continue in the great opportunities with which Paul was confronted in the Book of Acts. This is the record tonight in the Book of Acts where, I think it’s in the Foundational Class when we talk about revelation, or is that the Advanced Class; the revelation Paul had. For two years there is no record of this great man of God ever winning one soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. This tonight is that section. You see, that’s why I said I can’t figure Paul out; it’s just unbelievable to me. Perhaps the greatest man of God the world ever had, now I’m thinking from the mystery point of view, because the mystery was made known to this man. A man that would go into Ephesus and in two years and three months all Asia would hear the Word. Now in two years not one soul is won. I could cry because I feel the sensitivity, the great in-depth thing that must have been in that man’s soul. What could have gone through his mind in two year’s time? That’s as long as you are in residence in the Corps. Two year’s time; something had to go through the mind of that man because his mind was like electricity. That’s the way Paul thought. Imagine, two years; not one soul. Don’t ask me, I don
