ACTS 9:10-22 - Corps Notes - April 20, 1976
ACTS 9:10-22 April 20, 1976 This record all of you have read many times in the book Receiving the Holy Spirit Today. Not that I know much more about it than I wrote there, but it’s part of the Book of Acts and we are at that part of the book - chapter 9 where it appears. So again we have to share it with you. Sometimes I think you just can’t share the Word of God often enough with people. You know you don’t share the same Word every week but you can go over it twice or three times a year and people keep learning. Another thing you’ve got to remember if sometime you’re tired of teaching something, there are new people in your fellowship when you’re out on the field that haven’t had the privilege of hearing it before and so you have to keep building the thing within them. Acts 9, beginning with verse 10 is an absolutely fantastic record. It is the record that just hits everything in the head that the Roman Catholics, the Episcopalians, and certain other groups have pushed and that’s relative to men with ministries. An example is like at the time of confirmation, the bishop has to do it. Acts 9:10 “a certain disciple” - he was not an apostle, he was a disciple, a follower of the way “in a vision” - by revelation, a picture. That’s what vision means; his own private TV. “Behold, … Lord” - Isn’t that tremendous? Here’s a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, a follower of the way, who is so in tune with God and so close in the walk, that this thing doesn’t freak him to the end that he says, “Well, I think this is the devil calling in.” NO. There is something about the Church and the Old Testament too where people must have been taught something in the school of the prophets that’s not written in the Word directly, but they must have been taught how; like Samuel was, how to hear from God, how to listen. Just like in the Advanced Class, I teach our people how to receive revelation. They must have been taught these things. “Ananias” - The Lord called Ananias by name. Acts 9:11

Tweet Format: mp3,pdf Publication Date: 4-20-1976 On Ephesians 4:25 where I want to begin tonight, or where we will begin tonight , the first part of what the Research Team gave me is the work that Walter Cummins published in our wonderful Way Magazine on "The Spoken Word." 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
