Preserved to Work's End
The Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."
~ Acts 23:11 |
| PAUL BEARING WITNESS IN ATHENS |
"Are you a witness for the Lord, and are you just now in danger? If the Lord has more witness for you to bear, you will live to bear it. Who is he that can break the vessel that the Lord intends to use?
 |
| PAUL PREACHING THE GOSPEL IN JERUSALEM |
If there is no more work for you to do for your Master, it cannot distress you that He is about to take you home and put you where you will be beyond the reach of adversaries. Your witness-bearing for Jesus is your chief concern, and you cannot be stopped still it is finished: therefore, be at peace. Cruel slander, wicked misrepresentation, desertion of friends, betrayal by the most trusted one, and whatever else may come cannot hinder the Lord's purpose concerning you.

| PAUL BEARING WITNESS AND GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER FOR TEACHING HIM THE LOVE FOR MAN. |
The Lord stands by you in the night of your sorrow and say, "You must bear witness for Me." Be calm, be filled with joy in the Lord."
