When the Lord says to speak and hold not our peace then we are to speak that which He has commanded open and will be Blessed when the Lord says to not speak then we are not to speak Keep mouth shut and will be Blessed.
A key and important thing is to know when to speak and when not to speak. Here God was telling Paul to speak forth boldly while at other times we were commissioned to hold our peace and let the Lord fight the battle. I conclude by saying that only God can help you in knowing when to speak and when not to speak.
Paul was one of the most high in Jew status. He knew the law. When got saved he realized the law could not save him. He realized salvation was in JESUS GHRIST.
This is what amazes me, at a moment of questioning myself. Whether God has shown me a Vision or given me scripture. He answers is so spontaneous that there is absolutely no doubt at all. I found Faith is a risk but it pays the best devidence. In Jesus Name Amen.
Greetings everyone in the Name of Jesus Christ! In Matthew 28:19 our Lord gave the command to the disciples to go baptize in the Name (of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost). To find out how this commandment was carried out, we must search the book of Acts. On the day of Pentcost, Acts 2:37 Baptism was in the Name Of JESUS. This was preached by the Apostle Peter. Acts 8:12-17 the Church at Samaria was established and they were baptised in the Name of Jesus by Philip, another of Christ's diciples. The Church at Caesarea, Acts 10:44-48, baptism was also preformed by Peter in the Name of the Lord, which is Jesus. The Church of Philippi, Acts l6:14,15,also verses 25-34; as also the Church of the Ephesians were baptized by Paul in the Name of Jesus. Acts 18:1-11, Acts 19:1-7Romans 6:3, Acts 22:16 are also examples. Even those that were baptized by John the Baptist, after they received instruction by Apostle Paul were RE-baptized in the Name of Jesus. Now I ask you to answer this question-- Did the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus defy His command to be baptized IN THE NAME of the father,son,and Holy Ghost or were they carrying out His instructions knowing there is only ONE NAME given under heaven whereby ye must be saved? Allow Jesus to take the blinder off your mind and receive this wonderful truth: Jesus is the Name of God (father,son, Holy Ghost) He is the Word made flesh. No more than you can separate your word from who you are, Neither can the ONE GOD separate Himself into three separate Gods. It is One God in three offices---Father, Son, Holy Ghost...OH PRAISE THAT SAVING NAME WHICH REVEALED BY THE ANGEL !!! Read Isaiah 9:6--The prophecy of His Name. GOD CAME WRAPPED IN A NAME IN BETHLEHEM. May the Lord reveal His Truth to you.
