Acts 21-23

What God said to me – I have a plan that “I AM” carrying out for your life and for the world so when you are going along in your life and something unexpected happens, good or bad, look up.  Look to Me to find out what “I AM” doing.  You can have faith that “I AM” using this to move you to where I want you to be and “I AM” at work in your life through it.  It didn’t look good for Paul when he was attacked and beaten for following Me but I rescued him and used those very circumstances to move him where I wanted him and expanded the audience who heard the gospel because of it.  You too can trust when “I AM” taking you through great trials that “I AM” expanding the audience you will be able to minister to and to share the gospel as a result.  “I AM” at work in you always.

Acts 18-20

What God said to me – During Paul’s day the world was in turmoil because it was in a state of transition.  My church was being established and so idolatry was in a state of decline as people turned away from idols to Me.  I was also temporarily turning away from the Jewish people as they rejected Me and their responsibility to lead the world to Me and I turned to the church to take up that responsibility.  Most people do not readily accept change and so it was a tumultuous time.  The same is true today.  The world is again in a time of transition.  Time is coming to an end and “I AM” preparing to remove My church and give people over to a world of their own making.  There is more and more chaos and turmoil as they turn away from Me and go their own way.  In the face of all of this you must remain faithful and trust that “I AM” carrying out My plan in the perfect way in the perfect time.

Acts 16-17

What God said to me – In these days of confusion and chaos you will hear many different messages from many different quarters.  Many people just accept them as true because they speak of equity and fairness and love.  But don’t just accept them as true but be as the Bereans and search My word diligently to see if what they are saying is really true.  Spend much time examining My word and studying diligently.  Ask for My Spirit to teach you and show you what is true so you can stand strong.  Pray for a spirit of discernment so you can rightly divide the word of truth and apply it accurately.  As you do this regularly you will come to the place where you can immediately discern the truth from false teachings.  My word and My Spirit will keep you from falling away when you faithfully seek Me and My truth.
