Acquired Identity Syndrome Part 1
by Pastor Mark Downey

Scripture Reading: Acts 26:9-23
It occurred to me that I make transitions from sermon to sermon most of the time. I don't consciously think ahead of what those stepping stones will be and just let the Holy Spirit lead. Well, the Spirit lead me to an unusual news story on ABC's 5-14-15 Nightline program about Acquired Savant Syndrome, which is something brand new and different than Savant Syndrome (most often associated with autism); the difference is that one isn't born with the condition. My last sermon dealt with the conundrum that there is no silver bullet that will automatically cause someone to see the light. The aforementioned syndrome got me to thinking that there may not be any seeds of man's doings that can be planted in the minds of our race without the Lord's doings to germinate that seed and bring it to fruition. So what would be that divine stimulus that would trigger an imperishable acceptance of Israel's true identity? Before I attempt to answer that, let me relate to you the news story that may lead us to the rest of the story.
