Acts 13-15

What God said to me – You live in a difficult time.  Things have changed so rapidly within society there is much chaos and confusion.  It is more important than ever that you remain steadfast and stand on My word.  To be able to do that you must spend much time reading and studying My word and praying without ceasing.  You are My light in a world that is rapidly becoming dark.  If My people no longer shine as a light for Me, there is little hope for a world that already feels hopeless.  One thing you must do continually is to strengthen souls of other believers and encourage them to remain steadfast also.  Time is coming to an end – don’t lose hope – remain faithful to the end.  “I AM” with you always.

Acts 11-12

What God said to me – When you end up in a totally unexpected place in an unexpected way,  look to Me to see what “I AM” doing because no where is unexpected to Me and I use whatever means are necessary to get you to where I want you to be.  Those who were scattered because of the persecution that occurred in connection with Stephen were at first distraught.  But as they continued to walk with Me I used them to spread the gospel in previously unheard-of areas and My church began to grow.  I will use you in the same way as you walk in obedience no matter where you find yourself or how much difficulty you are facing.  In the commission I gave before I left the earth I said as you are going, make disciples.  Wherever you find yourself, the commission is still the same.

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.
