Appealing To The King
i had a pleasant dream last night, I met a man named Hawkins who turned out to be a King living amongst us. Was an interesting dream. It was fitting as in my study this morning I was continuing in my reading in Acts, and the time frame was when Paul met with King Agrippa , the leading up to that and the meeting. This exchange reminds me of Jim Rohn and his thoughts and telling of the excitement of this story and how we can get so good that we might be able to persuade the King.
Acts 26:27-32
King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them: And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar.
The story leading up to this starts intently at Acts 22 and goes through to Acts 26. The overview of Paul's ministry is somewhat written in these chapter and leads up to the meeting with the King.
I will see if I can locate Jim Rohns word on this for later posting
Have a blessed day!
