Rev. Tse Amable | January 20 2026 | Acts 22:1-21
KEY VERSE: “My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.” (Acts 22:9, NIV)
MESSAGE:
One important truth about spiritual experiences is that they are best understood by those who have personally encountered God, because spiritual matters are discerned through the Spirit. Apostle Paul wrote that “the man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV). This was the case of Apostle Paul’s companions on the road to Damascus. They saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to Paul. That is what happens when a person is born again and no longer lives the life he used to live or does the things he used to do. To some former friends, the change in a born-again believer may seem strange or difficult to understand. For the person who is born again, he knows without a shadow of doubt that once he was a sinner, but now he is saved by grace. Like the blind man whom Jesus Christ healed in John 9, the born-again person can testify, “I WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE”. That is an experience no amount of argument or debate can get him to give up.
The world cannot understand your experience of salvation. Do not let that bother you. Just continue living the new life Jesus Christ has given to you faithfully and consistently. In time, some of those friends and family members who struggle to understand your new way of life may also begin to see the light, be drawn to Christ, and join you in witnessing for Christ. No one can take away the personal experience you have had of God’s grace, mercy, and love, whether through salvation, healing, deliverance, or provision.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
It is said, “EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER”. What experience do you have in your walk with the Lord? Do your best to share your experience with others. Let your aim be that they may also come and taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
PRAYER:
Father, I thank you for the wonderful spiritual experiences I received and continue to receive as benefits of the new and abundant life. Teach me how to use these experiences to lead others to saving faith in Jesus Christ. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!
The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING
DAILY word study: UNDERSTAND The word translated “understand” comes from the Greek verb syníēmi (συνίημι), which means to grasp the meaning, to perceive with insight, or to bring understanding together in the mind rather than merely seeing or hearing something.
Paul’s companions perceived the event outwardly, but only Paul understood its message. Spiritual understanding requires the work of the Spirit. Seeing signs alone does not produce clarity. God grants understanding to the one He addresses and prepares.
Reflect on this:
Your spiritual experience may not be fully understood by others. Do not let that silence your witness. Share what God has done, trusting Him to bring understanding in His time.
