Event: Stephen Seized
S - Scripture
Acts 6 v. 14 For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.
O - Observation
Jesus destroys the norm. A true relationship with Jesus will require a paradigm shift. Customs, rote religion (religious rules) will go away if one has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Living a life in complete trust and faith eliminates the fears and burdens of the religious customs. After all, 1 John 4 v. 18, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear," Living in faith changes the mindset from, "I got to do this or not to that because I 'm told so", to I get to do this, I don't want to do this because I love Jesus.
A - Application
Have I personally experienced the paradigm shift?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Shift my heart to be into a true relationship with you. Love Will
