Deuteronomy 1, Psalms 49, Acts 7:30-60
What God said to me – Living for Me – speaking for Me – declaring the ungodliness around you to be sin – these things are an offense to the world. They will hate you for it because it shines a light on the darkness of their lives and they don’t want to admit they are wrong. When Stephen preached the truth with such power the people who heard were cut to the quick but rather than repent, they turned on him. The same thing will happen to you when you stand for Me. You may reach a few but most will turn on you and attack. You must determine now that no matter their response you will stand firm. Don’t be afraid but be ready. “I AM” even now preparing you.
