Acts 9-10

What God said to me – When you walk with Me you need to stay open to My Spirit’s direction and not allow your opinions or presuppositions affect how you minister or who you minister to.  In today’s world there are many who are “anti-God”, “anti-Christian”, and “anti-moral” but don’t just tune them out and turn away from them.  Pray. Seek My direction.  Be obedient when I send you.  Look at Ananias’ response when I sent him to Saul.  Look at Barnabas’ response when I sent him to Paul.  Their obedience changed the world.  You have no idea how I may plan to use those you come in contact with so you must pray and obey.  If you want to play a part in carrying out My plan for the world then walk faithfully in obedience and pray without ceasing.

Acts 7-8

What God said to me – You must be prepared at all times to share about Me in whatever circumstances you find yourself because when you walk with Me you are always at the place I want you to be.  I have prepared the circumstance for you and “I AM” using it to carry out My plan.  Stephen was faithful even when the people I led him to were antagonistic.  Phillip was faithful when I led him to one who was eager to hear.  You don’t know what kind of circumstance I may lead you to but you can know I led you there for a reason so you be faithful to follow as I lead.  Don’t back down even when they are against you.  You stand firm and pray for My direction as to what you should say or do or how you should respond.  This time alone with Me is preparation for whatever you may encounter so be faithful to pray and study My word so you will be prepared.

Acts 4-6

What God said to me – Just like in the early days of the church, what you say can cause you great trouble because it is against what the world teaches.  You must come to the place where, like them you decide you have to follow Me rather than men, no matter the cost.  You don’t need to be unkind when you speak to them but you must remain steadfast and not back down.  You may have to pay a price in the world for your faithfulness but your reward in heaven will be great.  Don’t be mean or belligerent or argumentative when you are confronted but remember how My Son responded to His accusers with quiet and dignity.  You imitate Him and seek Me for your response.
