FELIX HERE IN CHAPTER 24, PAUL HAS ALREADY TESTIFIED BEFORE FELIX OF THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS THAT WERE AGAINST HIM. HE WAS ACCUSED BY THE HIGH PRIEST AND THE ELDERS FOR STIRRING UP TROUBLE IN THE SYNAGOGUES AND AMONG THE PEOPLE. WELL SEVERAL DAYS HAS PASSED BY AND FELIX ALONG WITH HIS WIFE DRUSILLA HAD SENT FOR THE APOSTLE PAUL TO HEAR HIM CONCERNING THE FAITH. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY CALLED PAUL AND PAUL PREACHED TO THIS MAN A MESSAGE THAT BROUGHT DEEP CONVICTION IN HIS HEART. IN V.25 AS PAUL PREACHED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, TEMPERANCE AND JUDGMENT, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT FELIX TREMBLED. AS FELIX HEARD PAUL PREACH THE WORD OF GOD – · HIS HEART BEGAN TO MELT · DEEP CONVICTION SET INTO HIS SOUL · THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD WAS REALLY WORKING HIM OVER · FELIX KNEW THAT EVERYTHING THAT PAUL WAS SAYING WAS TRUE. HERE WAS A MAN – · WHO WAS MARRIED TO ANOTHER MAN’S WIFE · HIS VERY NAME MEANS “PLEASURE” · WHO WAS LICENTIOUS, HIS PASSION WENT UNRESTRAINED! · HE LIVED HIS LIFE WITH THE ATTITUDE – GET ALL YOU CAN WHILE YOU CAN! EAT, SLEEP, DRINK AND BE MERRY HERE WAS A POOR DEPRAVED LOST SINNER WHO HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SIT AND LISTEN TO A GREAT MAN OF GOD – YET WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, FELIX ALLOWED HIS LOVE FOR SIN TO KEEP HIM FROM GETTING SAVED! Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee. HOW STUPID! HOW DUMB! LET ME BE CLEAR BY SAYING THIS: · YOU CAN’T GET SAVED IN A TIME OF YOUR CONVENIENCE · YOU CAN’T GET SAVED WHEN YOU THINK YOUR READY I’VE HAD MANY PEOPLE SAY TO ME – · I’LL GET SAVED GOD WHEN I GET READY · I’LL GET SAVED WHEN I GET MY LIFE STRAIGHTENED OUT LISTEN FOLKS, IF YOUR GONNA GET SAVED – DO IT NOW!
