One Conversation With god

Paul was a staunch believer in the Mosaic faith which is Judaism, he was also a Pharisee who persecuted the church. Now God calls Paul through Jesus and not just in a dream. God knew that Paul would serve Him if he knew the truth. God is faithful and He knows if you are truly in search of Him and your heart is to please Him, He will show Himself to you. Jesus came face to face with Paul and asked Paul, “Why are you persecuting me?” Paul responded saying, “Lord, when have I persecuted you?” The Lord said, “When you are persecuting the church you are persecuting me, that is my Body.” Paul sought forgiveness and the Lord sent him on his way and he began to preach the gospel based on that experience. Some may see us preaching from a book but we are preaching based on an experience. Many of us were already off course on our way to Damascus, but One conversation with God will change your life for a lifetime. There is nothing like a conversation with Jesus. There are boys who ‘got game’ and they can whisper in a girl's ear and she will be in love for ten or fifteen years. He moves on but she is still in love, imagine the power of a conversation with Jesus. He is the Prince of Peace that passes all understanding. One conversation with Jesus can keep you all the way to the Day of Judgment. Jesus came in a jail cell when I was alone and fragile and it looked like the whole world was encamped about me but the Lord came in and said I have a better life for you. I received mercy and came out running and did not faint. We need a conversation with the Lord. Many of the study guides from this ministry are the result of one conversation between the Lord and our apostle, Mary Banks. She continues to run on to get this conversation out to others. That conversation solidifies everything that we are reading today—a personal and intimate conversation.

1 Corinthians 15:9-10

9. For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.

10. But by the grace of God I am what I am : and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

I have preached a lot of places and brought many into the kingdom but I do not accredit that to this vessel but to the treasure that is in this vessel. It is the grace that is with me, the Holy Ghost who sets the captives free. I believe on the scripture because of the Holy Ghost in me. How do you know that Christ rose from the dead? How do you know the bible is true? Because of the Spirit that you have on the inside and because of this you know. Do not give an ear to those who would discredit the Comforter you know is within. It would be best to walk away from such conflicting conversation.
