Acts 9:1-9 - Corps Notes - April 15, 1976
Acts 9:1-9 April 15, 1976 The Way: Acts 18:25-26 - “and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly” - So it’s possible to be a follower or instructed in the way of the Lord and still not be instructed as much as you ought to be; it’s possible to learn more about God or the way of God more perfectly. Acts 19:9, 23 Acts 22:4 Acts 24:14, 22 John 14:6 Acts 11:25-26 - Before they were called Christians they were called the way. So the name of our ministry belongs to us rightly as sons of God (I guess); but I never knew (years and years ago when we called ourselves, “The Way”) the integrity and the greatness of the word and the beautiful magnanimous thing about the word. The followers of the Lord Jesus Christ were first called the way. Later on, according to Acts 11, they were first called Christians because they were walking like ‘Christ in them’, manifesting the greatness of the power of God. And that’s why in Antioch of Syria they were called Christians first. On this Thursday night of “Holy Week” I think it’s significant that we are in the 9th chapter of the book of Acts, because this man who persecuted the way unto the death is a man whose life was changed by the resurrected Christ. This Jesus, whom people persecuted and crucified, whom God raised from the dead, is the one who also touched the life of this man called Saul, or Paul, and changed him so completely that I assume from my knowledge of the Word and the great outreach of God’s Word, that his life cannot be compared to any other apostle of that day and time and hour. Men came upon the scene with great ability like Peter, John, Barnabas, Silas, a lot of great men, Timothy. But I think the apostle Paul outshines them all because the same amount of discipline that he had in persecution, when he was born again he now transferred to the greatness of the power of the true God and used that ability of his to hold it forth. Being in Acts chapter 9 tonight is absolutely electrifying to me. There are only four re

Also, as we cover Ephesians 4:28 tonight, I had all the information in front of me from another article that Walter Cummins has in the... has had in the Magazine. The first article on Ephesians 4:25 is entitled "The Spoken Word." The one on Ephesians 4:28 is "Workers for God." Both of these pieces of work by Walter are absolutely superb. And I believe that they should appear and will appear in our research journal GMIR whenever we begin publishing that. {GMIR Aramaic word meaning ' to perfect, accomplish , mature, complete, arithmetically to be divisible without any remainder.} And I noticed again that some of the thi
