If you spend time reading of his struggles, his heart cry, his problems encountered along his Journey with The LORD, you will soon begin to understand exactly who Paul was — and where he was coming from!

Oh yes, the great Apostle — one born out of time and counted a true Apostle after the fact — can be clearly seen, when you walk with Him and share the power of his sufferings!

Oh yes! The Apostle did suffer! Greatly!.

He did suffer, even as His LORD whom he was following, suffered.

Paul had entered into The LORD’s Suffering, and was well acquainted with Him.

When one does go through the Suffering with The LORD, he will fully know the heart and life of Yeshua/ Jesus.

The great Apostle did suffer with him so Paul who was once a Saul, became acquainted with Yeshua/ Jesus, to the point that he had become like him in many ways.

Go back and recount where the Apostle Paul began his Journey.

His name was Saul back then. Saul was a very religious Jew who worked very very hard at being good at who he was.

Saul was under The Law — as one who truly was trying hard to work that Law.

But Saul had the wrong understanding of The One who had written that Law!

Saul saw him through eyes of the Religious, who strive at being perfect keepers of The Law.

Saul was dead set against anyone whom he saw who was not like him (one who kept The Law).

Saul even went after all who did not (in his narrow opinion of The Law Giver) believe as he did, and he tried to Force them to follow likewise.

But Saul was stricken down on a road to ruin and was raised up in a beam of light to behold the very one whom he had somehow come to work against.

Saul was stricken blind, (for one who is blind can see things that human eyes cannot see).

He saw The LORD in Glory bright, and in the seeing of The LORD, he was changed into that Glory — and became Paul, another man.

Is it not then understandable who Paul was after his fall and awakening?

Paul then went after the false, exposing them in the Light of the Glory of God, which he now could do, having seen that Light.

But, Paul had only just arrived on this new pathway with the suffering LORD, and he soon learned that most people who were claiming to be followers of Yeshua/ Jesus were still blind as to exactly who was the One they were following.

Yes, go read in the Scriptures what Paul said to them after he met them and saw them as they were.

Read in the Scriptures about what he determined to do foremost among the religious men who claimed to follow Yeshus/ Jesus:

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified The LORD of glory.
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-9.

When one reads the above verses, he will begin to see into the transformed mind and eyes of the great Apostle.

He was a man not made by other men, but one who had been changed into another man.

A man with a message………….. “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.”

In this writing I have taken only the early steps into Paul’s life and journey; Much more was to come.

Please continue the study by reading the Book of Galatians.

When you do, you will find his journey led through much controversy among the followers of Yeshua/ Jesus.

He was opposed and stricken, smitten and rejected.

He was beaten and left for dead on the side of a road, caught up into Heaven to repair his hurt, and trust back into the battle which raged all around him………

The battle of believers who do not understand exactly who Yeshua/ Jesus really is — and how they were to work together with Him to win the world of lost men.
