Running with Jesus
Acts 16:16 "And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:"
Paul was followed by this woman yelling at them and he got tired of it and cast a demon out of her. She was a fortune teller and they put her out of business and her bosses had them arrested!
Hummmm! Just thinking people in Bible days would rather have money than see a soul get redeemed! Sounds familiar doesn't it. People today run abortion clinics, sell alcohol, and sell drugs for money. When we take a stand against them they want to take us to court and throw us in jail. The love of money is the root of evil.
The days ahead we may be forced to take a stand, a bolder stand in order to save lives! We may be arrested! It is a lot to think about. The world didn't like Jesus followers anymore than they did Him. They don't like Jesus followers today. Let us pray we will have boldness in the days ahead.
Father, we are Your servants and we pray for boldness as the days are approaching us. We pray for Your power and Spirit to rest upon us and fill us. Give us a Paul and Silas’ Spirit.
Tomorrow: There will be a beating
