These men have tasted the Holy Spirit and were transformed by the experience. Instead of quitting....
"All day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus." (Acts 5: 42).
"What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?" (Acts 8: 31).
"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]." (Romans 8: 37 AMP).
What I learned from the Gamaliel Principle:
1. If God is with you, it is accomplished. No matter the obstacles, delays, disappointments or personal weaknesses.
2. No fear. No worry. No doubt as long as the Lord is with you.
3. God will finish what He started. (Exodus 14: 13-14; Isaiah 13: 15; 2 Chronicles 20: 15; Philippians 1: 6)
"Wait for the Lord, take courage; be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!" (Psalm 27: 14)
God does His best actions when we show we trust Him.
Is the present situation from God or not? Use the Gamaliel Principle.
"Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.” (Acts 5:38-39 NIV)
Today we see the vindication of the wisdom of Gamaliel. In spite of the opposition of the Jewish leaders, we see the growth of the Faith through the power of God. Gamaliel Principle is true. As it was then, so it is now and forever.
Do not be afraid that God will forsake you or abandon you in your calling.
