The Conversion of Damar Hamlin

What Could Have Been on the Road to Damascus

The Conversion of Saint Paul by Caravaggio

Last Wednesday, January 25th, was the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Prior to his conversion to Christianity, the Apostle Paul was Saul, a Pharisee who zealously persecuted Christians and violently tried to destroy the early Church. Saul was present at and oversaw the stoning of St. Stephen, the first martyr.

Around the year 36, on the road to Damascus to arrest more Christians, Saul was thrown off his horse by a bright light and voice that said:

† "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad." † (Acts 26:14)

And the Lord continued:

† I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.

But rise up, and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister, and a witness of those things which thou hast seen, and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, Delivering thee from the people, and from the nations, unto which now I send thee: To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and a lot among the saints, by the faith that is in me. † (Acts 26:15-18)

For three days afterward, Saul remained blind. A disciple in Damascus, Ananias, also received a vision from God, instructing him to go to the house where Saul was, to heal the man who had once persecuted so many of Christ’s followers. Ananias mentioned what he had heard of Saul, but God replied to him † “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel; for I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name” (Acts 9:15-16). Ananias healed and baptized the former persecutor, who took on the name Paul. St. Paul then went out to do the task given to him – to preach about Jesus. He traveled and preached for many years, and converted many. St. Paul was eventually arrested and martyred sometime between 60 and 65 AD.

So what does the Conversion of St. Paul have to do with Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who collapsed on the field from a heart attack?

Plenty.

The Conversion of Damar Hamlin? by Monday Night Football

Damar - Damascus. God wants this young man to speak the Truth, † "To open their eyes, that they may be converted from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.…" †

I do not know Damar's former life, but you can be assured he was injected at least three times by the bioweapons shot as required by the NFL and the Buffalo Bills. An adverse side effect of the bioweapon shot is heart attacks. Damar, a healthy young man, was struck down on the field, on national television, by a heart attack as a result of the mandated/coerced bioweapon shots.

God wants these shots stopped and he is using Damar to do this.

Just stop people!

But what has happened since? Unlike Saul, Damar is still kicking against the goad (a long stick used to prod animals to go in a certain direction), and it is only going to hurt him in the end and continue more death and destruction worldwide in this Bioweapons World War.

Let's compare the Conversions of St. Paul to Damar:

St. Paul

• Knocked off his horse and blinded by God to stop persecuting Christians.

• Immediately acknowledged his wrongness and converted to Christianity.

• Started preaching the Gospel far and wide, through constant persecution and ultimate execution.

• Put God and Jesus before money and riches, and lived poor the rest of his life.

• Converted countless people to God and Jesus, saved many souls, and died a saint

  remembered to this day.

Damar

• Knocked off his feet and cardiac arrested by God to stop the bioweapon shots.

• Hasn't said a word about his heart attack and what may have caused it. Hasn't

  said a word about his shot status and the shot mandates.

• Hasn't publicly and visually thanked God, nor all the people who prayed for his

  recovery and gave to his charity, even though he is well enough to attend football games and facetime with teammates.

• Most likely is keeping silent because of a large pay-out by the NFL and Big Pfarma, and will live rich and comfortable the rest of his life.

• Will not convert people away from the bioweapon shots, will not save future

  people from suffering disabilities and death from these shots, and will die in

  obscurity and quickly forgotten.

You could have been God's bullhorn Damar and you blew it (or should I say, you refused to blow it).

You just couldn’t suck it up, buttercup.

Yes, you would have been demonized and ridiculed and rendered poor if you came out against the bioweapon shots. You would have joined the ranks of us lepers who refused the shots from the get-go. But that is the price you HAVE to pay for truth, justice and redemption. Jesus essentially said to Saul † “you're kicking against the conviction of your heart that's trying to get you to go in the direction of Me.” †

That's what you're doing too Damar. Hiding from the public instead of showing your covid shot injury. Scurrying away from the light to hide in the darkness. Come out publicly, face forward and say, "this is me, this is what happened. I'm going to come clean to make sure this never happens to another person again." Instead you did nothing, you did the opposite, and it's sad because the strength of God would have done so much for you and this world to make it a better place.

Sigh.

The Conversion of Damar Hamlin never took place. It still could, if he only stops kicking against the goad. Will he? Probably not. The power of ego and gold is too great. We don't have St. Pauls anymore. We don't have people converting, apologizing, humbling themselves and speaking the truth no matter the persecution. Even with prodding by God, we still kick the goad, over and over, and it hurts us, over and over.

Kicking the goad - ouch!
