Bible Before Breakfast with Mildred Kingsley-Okonkwo

Acts 9:1-7 TPT - 1During those days, Saul, full of angry threats and rage, wanted to murder the disciples of the Lord Jesus. So he went to ask the high priest 2and requested a letter of authorization he could take to the Jewish leaders in Damascus, requesting their cooperation in finding and arresting any who were followers of the Way. Saul wanted to capture all of the believers he found, both men and women, and drag them as prisoners back to Jerusalem. 3So he obtained the authorization and left for Damascus.

Just outside the city, a brilliant light flashing from heaven suddenly exploded all around him. 4Falling to the ground, he heard a booming voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”

5-7The men accompanying Saul were stunned and speechless, for they heard a heavenly voice but could see no one.

Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?”

Hebrews 10:23 NLT - Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise.

Psalm 32:8 NLT - The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.

Psalm 92 TPT - It’s so enjoyable to come before you

with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts!

How we love to sing our praises over and over to you,

to the matchless God, high and exalted over all!

2At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you

for your kindness and your love.

As the sun sets and all through the night,

we will keep proclaiming, “You are so faithful!”

3Melodies of praise will fill the air as every musical instrument,

joined with every heart, overflows with worship.

4No wonder I’m so glad; I can’t keep it in!

Lord, I’m shouting with glee over all you’ve done,

for all you’ve done for me:

5what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few!

Depths of purpose and layers of meaning

saturate everything you do.

6Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle

that nearly everyone seems to miss.

Those with no discernment can never really discover

the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.

7It’s true the wicked flourish, but only for a moment;

they foolishly forget their destiny with death,

that they will all one day be destroyed forevermore.

8But you, O Lord, are exalted forever

in the highest place of endless glory,

9while your opponents, the workers of wickedness,

will all perish, forever separated from you.

10Your anointing has made me strong and mighty.

You’ve empowered my life for triumph

by pouring fresh oil over me.

11You’ve said that those lying in wait to pounce on me

would be defeated,

and now it’s happened right in front of my eyes,

and I’ve heard their cries of surrender!

12Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers

to flourish like palm trees,

each one growing in victory, standing with strength!

13You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard,

where they are thriving before you,

14for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed.

Even in their old age they will stay fresh,

bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.

15Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim:

“You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength!

You’ve never made a mistake with me.”
