Today’s Feast
Feb. 1, 2016 – Acts 24
What’s Our Purpose?
Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We
will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in
God’s Word in approximately three years.
““Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” Deuteronomy 6:4-5, English Standard Version (ESV)
Dear Saints,
Thank
you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in Acts Chapter 24; “The speech of Tertullus against Paul. (1-9) Paul's
defence before Felix. (10-21) Felix
trembles at the reasoning of Paul. (22-27)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
When
we hear the speech of Tertullus against Paul, remember these “great” men are
not used to being confronted with opinions that are contradictory to theirs.
Because he served Jesus wherever he went, Paul’s defense before Felix was
sufficient for the day. Felix is impressed enough to bring his wife to hear
Paul, but he trembles at the reasoning of Paul. ”24 After some days Felix came with his wife
Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about
faith in Christ Jesus. 25 And as he reasoned about righteousness and
self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away
for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon you.” 26 At the same
time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often
and conversed with him. 27 When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by
Porcius Festus. And desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in
prison.” Acts
24:24-27, ESV. Paul was carrying the salvation message wherever he went.
Because God’s word does not go out without purpose, Paul survives the
accusations of both the Roman and Jewish leaders. “And you, child, will be called the prophet
of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give
knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us
from on high” Luke
1:76-78, ESV. Wherever God leads, be sure to carry the message of our
Lord. Keep the first thing first, salvation through the blood of our
Lord Jesus. The rewards of serving the one true God will always outweigh and
be better than what man can do for or against you! Let your light shine! If the Lord is
willing I’ll send and post the Feast again tomorrow
You’ll
find the praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
Don’t
get caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation
depends completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life
to pay in full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to
get every Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even
the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are
building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to
change anything. Click this link for

God Bless You,
Brother Mike
