Topic: Not moved (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 20:24-25 KJV
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. [25] And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more.
Discouragement through several distractions is the major tool in the hand of the Devil, with which attacks ministers to ensure they do not carry out their task.
Satan couldn't stop the gospel so he steered up persecutions against the ministers of the gospel.
Have you been made to quit, due to persecution?
Have you been frustrated due to persecution?
Persecution comes from every direction, both from the seemingly godly and ungodly, so don't be discouraged. Don't give up when you're being persecuted by those who should have encouraged you, Satan can use insensitive believers to discourage a minister. Just make sure you're within the will of God.
2 Timothy 4:16-17 KJVAt my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. [17] Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
The Apostle would have been stopped but he was not moved, so he moved on.
You're persecuted because what you're carrying, within, is a big threat to Satan, so he wants you stopped by all means.
Hold dearly to your heart what God has given unto you and be faithful till death.
Prayers 🙏🏼: Lord Jesus, may I not quit the heavenly vision due to men's discouragement and Satan's distractions. Pray for strength for everyone facing persecution, that God will see them through.
Remain blessed
