Could You Be This Obedient?

Acts 8:26-30(NKJV)

26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is desert. 

27So he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 

28was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading Isaiah the prophet. 

29Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and overtake this chariot.”

30So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

Think about that.  If you heard God whispering in you ear, "get up and go", could you and would you?  If you felt God nudging you to approach a total stranger, again, could you and would you?

That's just what Philip did.  God told him to go and he went.  God told him to approach the Ethiopian and Philip did.  Think about the courage that took.  The Ethiopian was a "great man".  He had his own chariot and everything.  Many would be intimidated by approaching someone like that.  But did Philip even hesitate?  Not one bit.

Folks, I think that is the key.  When God prompts you and you are sure that it is from God, trust the Holy Spirit to guide you here, then act immediately.  Don't hesitate.  Don't stop to think what you will say or anything.  When you do that, you give Satan time to get in your head and give you a million reasons why you shouldn't do what God just asked you to do.

God has promised that He will give you the words.  Trust God and act!
