Scripture
I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

Observation
Paul's message did not come from human reasoning. Rather it came as a direct revelation from Jesus Christ.

Paul used to be a violent persecutor of the church. Then Jesus called him by his marvellous grace. Paul didn't consult any human being, but went to Arabia and then to Damascus to seek the Lord.

When he started to travel and preach, people only knew of his reputation, and they praised God at the change in him from persecutor to apostle.

Application
God's grace is so powerful that it can win over the most violent of his enemies.

Paul's testimony is encouraging to all of us. It tells us that nobody is beyond God's ability to save.

One word; one act of kindness; one miracle; one more prayer- that might be all it takes to see that person saved for whom we have been praying.

Prayer
Lord, who would you have me share with today? Break through to them with your grace as you did with Paul. Amen.
