So it says in verse 11, the following night.

The Lord stood by him and said take courage or as you have testified to the facts about me Jerusalem's.

So you must testify also in Rome.

And when it was day, the Jews made a plot and they bound themselves by oath neither to eat in order to drink till they had killed Paul, and they were more than 40 who made this conspiracy.

And they went to the chief priests and the elders.

And said, we have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste.

No food till we have killed Paul.

Now, they are for you alone with the council.

Give notice to the Tribune to bring him down to you as though you were going to determine his case more.

Exactly.

And we are ready to kill him, before he comes near.

Now the son of Paul sister heard of their Ambush, so he went and entered the barracks and told Paul the Paul called one of the century instead.

Take this young man to the Tribune for, he has something to tell him until he took him, and brought him to the Tribune said, Paul The Prisoner called me and asked me to bring this young man to you.

He said the Jews Evergreen to ask you to bring, pull down to the council tomorrow, as though, they were going to inquire somewhat more closely about him, but do not be persuaded by them for more than 40 of their men are lying in Ambush for him who have bound themselves by now.

If neither to eat nor drink to, they've killed him and now they are ready, waiting for your consent.

And if you are Christian worth your salt and if you've been saved any amount of time, you will have had experienced the trials and tribulations of following Christ.

The Lord said, never said, it would be easy, the Lord never told us.

It would be a better roses.

In fact, he says, pick up your cross and follow me indicating if you want to be a Christian.

It's a cruciform life.

It's a life where you die to self.

It's a life where you are constantly carrying around the symbol of the Cross, which is death.

Because that's what Christ has set.

An example for us and came to this world and suffered and humbled himself to the point of death that we may understand that being a Christian is not about having more about the world and having more materialistic things and having more fun and having great health and prospering and successful.

God blesses us sometimes with those good thing.

It's about God, being with us and getting through it.

We're going to face difficult times in life.

And sometimes you're going to be moments where you're going to be under such pressure under such strain that fear may come over you.

If you were in Paul's shoes right now, just imagine how you would feel.

You've been detained, you know, that the hijinks of the Sanhedrin is determined to bring you down, to destroy you and kill you.

You've already seen how a mob a vicious mob went out to take pull down.

He was rescued by Claudius lysias, the Tribune of Jerusalem running to the 4 to San Antonio.

And here he is.

Now wondering, what is next.

And if that moment of darkness, the Lord Comforts and Paul, I'm with you.

Buried his prison cell alone in the dark fearful not knowing what would happen.

God's presence, comforted him.

Paul just as you testified in Jerusalem.

You must testify in Rome.

You know what?

Jesus Is Telling Paul?

Don't worry about it.

You're going to be okay.

I have a plan for you.

You're my plan.

And nothing will get in the way of that.

What comfort that must have brought to Paul Richard wurmbrand, the Lutheran, Pastor who endured great persecution during the Communist Regime in the Soviet Union, in Eastern Europe, was arrested and was held as a prisoner for quite some time tortured back to his autobiography.

Room is tortured for Christ.

Voice of modern skills that out quite often isn't book form and even his video is on there.
