The Book of Acts, or the book of the spirit.
We need to be those that are still following the spirit of God.
Many times in acts it says and the spirit says, or to do or to Go
Always go to the Scriptures for our answers about Life.
Lots of people will tell you there opinions and many has great advice
Some may have good things to say that make alot of sense
The Question is does there advice line up to the Word of God?
What would Jesus Say?
And some would say well God’s not here to say, but God is here
God is here through his word
God is here in the spirit (Holy Ghost or Holy Spirit)
The Trinity God the Father God the Son God the Holy Ghost or spirit
We should be filtering our lives our conscience and our minds through the word of God.
Tough times never last, but tough people do. -Robert H. Schuller, getting through hard times quotes.
There’s a benefit to overcoming adversity. When you make your way through tough times, you’ll become stronger and more successful in life. That’s why the phrase “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger” really does ring true.
The wisest and most well-rounded people you meet are usually those who have gone through tough times themselves. They have overcome challenges and they have great stories to tell.
We all go through difficult times in life. It can help us build up the strength to make it through anything.
Going through hard times is beneficial. It makes you tougher, stronger, and more successful.
1 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
Just killed Stephen
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
The Bible is God’s chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
Iconium,. Ἰκόνιον Ikŏniŏn, ee-kon´-ee-on: perh. from 1504; image-like; Iconium, a place in Asia Minor:—Iconium
Reproof: 1. Though the NT usage is simple and straightforward, outside the NT it is very complicated. In Hom. ἐλέγχω still means “to scorn,” “to bring into contempt.”1 Later it means a. “to shame” by exposure, opposition, etc.; b. “to blame”; c. “to expose,” “to resist”; then d. “to interpret,” “to expound”; and finally e. “to investigate.”2
correction: A straightening up again.
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Perilous :
through the idea of reducing the strength; difficult, i.e. dangerous, or (by impl.) furious:—fierce, perilous.
Be careful who your listening to and depart from sin
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.
Canker: (to gnaw); an ulcer (“gangrene”):—canker.
Hymenaeus: the god of weddings); “hymenæal”; Hymenæus, an opponent of Christianity:—Hymenæus.
Iniquity:wrongfulness (of character, life or act):—iniquity, unjust, unrighteousness, wrong.
23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Men Who hazarded their lives
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
WE want to remember all those that are sick and having a hard time.
