When Paul was ministering in Corinth he faced much opposition. In Acts 18:6 Paul declared...‘from now on I will go to the gentiles’. This is because Paul was anointed as an Apostle to the gentiles. It wasn’t an excuse because of his frustration. But at this point GOD WAS FLINGING THE DOORS WIDE OPEN TO ANYONE WHO WOULD LISTEN.
At this point the gospel entered TURKEY. This was a place of importance to us all as the early churches addressed in the book of Revelations were here. We need to pay attention here!
Paul came to Ephesus and we have a very relevant story and lesson for us all. In Acts 19:13-17 we read that itinerant Jewish exorcists saw an opportunity. However they were clearly not able to deal with this. There is a very interesting point to be gleaned here.
WORK WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU AT THIS TIME.
Only the blood of Jesus is able to deliver. We have nothing apart from His grace and mercy. Cry out for His mercy. Allow anything in your life at the moment to break you that the life of Jesus can flow out.
THE ENEMY DELIGHTS TO MAKE US BITTER at this time... COME IN THE OPPOSITE SPIRIT
Look for ease and LIGHTNESS in the things of God. He that calls you wants to give you an adventure. Yet we have an enemy whose nature is to destroy. STAND FIRM at this time.
Ask God about your life....what is it meant to be like... what does He intend. You can guarantee that the answer will be LIFE TO THE FULL.
