JESUS STOOD BESIDE PAUL AND TOLD HIM NOT TO WORRY!

Acts 23, That night the Lord stood beside Paul and said, “Don’t worry, Paul; just as you have told the people about me here in Jerusalem, so you must also in Rome.” The next morning some forty or more of the Jews got together and bound themselves by a curse neither to eat nor drink until they had killed Paul! Then they went to the chief priests and elders and told them what they had done.“Ask the commander to bring Paul back to the Council again,” they requested. “Pretend you want to ask a few more questions. We will kill him on the way.” But Paul’s nephew got wind of their plan and told Paul who called the officers. “Take this boy to the commander". So the officer did. "There are more than forty men ready to jump him and kill him. They have bound themselves under a curse to neither eat nor drink till he is dead. They are out there now, expecting you to agree to their request.” “Don’t let a soul know you told me this,” the commander warned the boy as he left. Then the commander called two of his officers and ordered, “Get 200 soldiers ready to leave for Caesarea at nine o’clock tonight! Take 200 spearmen and mounted cavalry. Give Paul a horse to ride and get him safely to Governor Felix.” Then he wrote this letter to the governor. So that night, the soldiers took Paul to Antipatris. When they arrived in Caesarea, they presented Paul and the letter to the governor. He read it and then asked Paul where he was from. “Cilicia,” Paul answered. “I will hear your case fully when your accusers arrive,” the governor told him, and ordered him kept in the prison at King Herod’s palace. FRIENDS, JESUS IS IN CONTROL OF EVERY SITUATION. Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
