TOPIC: Increasing In Strength And Glory (Rhapsody of Realities 22 June 2022)
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ (Acts 9:22).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today MESSAGE:
Years ago, while I was having a lot of opposition, I set my face like a flint and focused on something God had told me. He said, âBe courageous; I will not fail you, and I will not forsake you.â It was an instruction from God. Therefore, it made no difference who was against me or what was happening around me; I couldnât be bothered. There wasnât going to be any fear. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, I was endued with courage and Iâve been ever since.
When God tells you to be courageous, itâs because He knows thereâs trouble out there. He knows some things will try to frighten you, discourage you and dissuade you; so He says, âBe courageous.â I made up my mind that I was going to do what God said; I was going to be very courageous.

Our theme verse says, âSaul increased the more in strengthâŠ.â To increase in strength means that the Lord enabled him. The Greek actually expresses it as âto be made strong.â He was increased in strength; this is an inner strength. He was empowered from within to be able to accomplish more. This is what the Lord does for His children; He strengthens you from within.
As you increase in strength, you increase in glory. This is what has happened with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in these last days: it has increased in strength and it has increased in glory. Weâre in a special time in the world today with Rhapsody of Realities reaching billions of people in their native language.

These arenât the kinds of things anyone could have planned. Theyâre happening by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. That grace is at work in you today to accomplish more than youâve ever done for the Lord. You wonât be afraid; you wonât falter. Youâll rise up to the occasion and win, because youâre empowered from within. Hallelujah!
