4:35
Speaker 1: and connecting and getting encouragement. And we asked this in
4:40
Speaker 1: Jesus' name. Heymen, all right, y'all, I appreciate y'all. Man,
4:45
Speaker 1: I just see like a crowd of people just tuning in,
4:50
Speaker 1: like just sitting on that Life Chat. I just see,
4:52
Speaker 1: I see thousands of people right now joined in and
4:58
Speaker 1: just feasting on the Word of God together. Amen, Hallelujah,
5:04
Speaker 1: speak that into existence. All right, Well, we're gonna I'm
5:09
Speaker 1: gonna try to do the entire chapter today, the chapter
5:16
Speaker 1: twenty seven of the Book of Acts. And in this
5:20
Speaker 1: chapter there's a lot of words that I'm not gonna
5:24
Speaker 1: try to butcher and pronounce. There's a lot of cities
5:28
Speaker 1: where Paul has taken trips. It's a very detailed account.
5:34
Speaker 1: And so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna get
5:37
Speaker 1: the highlight scriptures in some of these areas and not
5:40
Speaker 1: just read the entire verse, because I don't want to
5:43
Speaker 1: bog everyone down with trying to pronounce these cities and
5:47
Speaker 1: these places are going. I can't pronounce them anyway. They're
5:51
Speaker 1: Greek and Hebrew and all that stuff, right, and it's
5:54
Speaker 1: not really pertinent. But what's really important is that we
5:58
Speaker 1: get the met behind what we're gonna say. But I
6:02
Speaker 1: with that, I do encourage you to read the entire
6:06
Speaker 1: chapter in every verse, But just for the sake of
6:10
Speaker 1: the podcast, I'm gonna highlight some verse versus and I'm
6:15
Speaker 1: explaining that because I love I do love the verse
6:18
Speaker 1: by verse approach. But sometimes you gotta use wisdom, like
6:22
Speaker 1: in the Book of Numbers. Right, you're not gonna just
6:26
Speaker 1: read all the names and all the descendants and all that.
6:29
Speaker 1: You're gonna kind of skip through and get to the
6:31
Speaker 1: meat of what that chapter has to say. So trust me,
6:35
Speaker 1: you're gonna get me. We're gonna get fed as we
6:38
Speaker 1: do it this way. And so a little bit of
6:40
Speaker 1: a background. Paul has been on trial. Paul has been
6:46
Speaker 1: in different court settings. He's been before Felix, and he's
6:52
Speaker 1: been before Festus in Augustus, the King. Paul has been
6:58
Speaker 1: speaking to kings and rulers and noble people.
7:05
Speaker 3: In this.
7:07
Speaker 1: These court settings. And now Paul appealed to go to Rome.
7:14
Speaker 1: And Augustus said that if Paul did not appeal, I
7:22
Speaker 1: would have set him free, right because they could not
7:29
Speaker 1: find any charge against them. This man was an innocent man.
7:32
Speaker 1: In the Romans did not want to condemn an innocent person.
7:36
Speaker 1: At least they were fair in that regards. So since
7:43
Speaker 1: Paul appealed, appeered to appeal to Rome, this is his journey.
7:49
Speaker 1: They have sent him off to Rome. They sent him
7:52
Speaker 1: with a centurion who is over the prisoners and they
7:57
Speaker 1: are traveling on the boat, and so we're gonna look
8:00
Speaker 1: at his adventures trying to get to Rome on this boat.
8:09
Speaker 1: And also remember that this was God's will. The Lord
8:14
Speaker 1: spoke to him and said that you will witness for
8:18
Speaker 1: me in Rome. This was God's heart the whole time.
8:24
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. So that's where you're gonna
8:28
Speaker 1: see in verse one through eight. But I'm a highlight
8:34
Speaker 1: where it says that when it was decided that we
8:38
Speaker 1: should sell to Italy. Right, so it was decided that
8:44
Speaker 1: they should sell to Italy. Now Luke gives a detailed
8:49
Speaker 1: description of this voyage, and he is showing historical accuracy
8:56
Speaker 1: in the Book of Acts. Now, Paul was in custody.
9:02
Speaker 1: He was still a prisoner at this time, but he
9:05
Speaker 1: was also walking in purpose. Even though Paul was a prisoner,
9:13
Speaker 1: he was more free than everyone around him. Chains cannot
9:21
Speaker 1: stop the purposes of God. Life may feel restricted at times,
9:27
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that God has stopped working right
9:31
Speaker 1: on our behalf. Now verse nine and ten, I'm gonna
9:35
Speaker 1: highlight men, I perceive that this voyage will end with
9:41
Speaker 1: disaster and much lost. Now I believe that Paul, of
9:48
Speaker 1: course was prophetic. Paul had spiritual discernment. But also don't
9:55
Speaker 1: forget Paul had experience in traveling. Paul has been on
10:01
Speaker 1: boats before. Paul was probably discerning that there was a
10:07
Speaker 1: storm or there was something wrong, and that there was
10:11
Speaker 1: something here concerning this trip that was gonna make it dangerous.
10:20
Speaker 1: So Paul spoke up. Now it looks like you.
10:28
Speaker 2: Lost another one.
10:34
Speaker 1: Even though we may warn people, God will often send
10:41
Speaker 1: us a warning before a situation happens, before the storm arise,
10:50
Speaker 1: or arise before the storms arrive. God will give us
10:57
Speaker 1: a warning. I can think back him many times in
11:02
Speaker 1: my walk with the Lord where He's given me strong warnings. Amen.
11:11
Speaker 1: And some have ignored and some have taken keed to
11:17
Speaker 1: and it would be wise to take heed. If we
11:21
Speaker 1: listen to the warning, it will save us a lot
11:23
Speaker 1: of heartbreak and a lot of trouble.
11:25
Speaker 2: Amen, it looks like you lost another one.
11:29
Speaker 1: The problem is people don't always listen when God warns us.
11:36
Speaker 1: Discernment matters, Beloved, We need to ask God for more discernment.
11:42
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, we cannot move, especially in
11:45
Speaker 1: these last days, these in times that we're living in,
11:48
Speaker 1: we cannot move without discernment. Amen, all right, verse eleven
11:53
Speaker 1: to twelve, I'm gonna highlight where it says, nevertheless, the
11:59
Speaker 1: centurion was more persuaded by the helmsman. So the centurion
12:06
Speaker 1: probably didn't realize who Paul was. Paul was just placed
12:11
Speaker 1: into his care and Paul was a prisoner. But the centurion,
12:19
Speaker 1: he wanted to listen to the experienced fishermen now here
12:23
Speaker 1: are supposed to be professional fishermen, helmsmen who are supposed
12:29
Speaker 1: to take them safely on his journey. They're supposed to
12:32
Speaker 1: have expert opinions. And they told him to go ahead
12:36
Speaker 1: and sell. But Paul saw something. He discerned there was
12:39
Speaker 1: something up with this voyage. The Roman officer trusted worldly
12:44
Speaker 1: experience over his spiritual wisdom. Let me say that again,
12:51
Speaker 1: the officer trusted worldly experts. When you can think of
13:02
Speaker 1: some experts in our generation today that the world turns
13:07
Speaker 1: to when all they have to do is open up
13:10
Speaker 1: their Bible, and man, all they have to do is
13:14
Speaker 1: open up the Word of God, and we find ourselves
13:19
Speaker 1: in that place. Now, this is important. Everybody with credentials
13:25
Speaker 1: isn't hearing from God just because you have a title
13:29
Speaker 1: or some condential credentials behind your name, Does it mean
13:36
Speaker 1: you have God's word ready to give to people? Amen?
13:42
Speaker 1: The crowd will follow the experts instead of asking for
13:48
Speaker 1: a discernment from God, and in this situation, it led
13:54
Speaker 1: them right into danger. They go right into a shipwreck.
14:01
Speaker 1: Now verse thirteen through twenty, it says, but not long
14:08
Speaker 1: after the tempest head win a rose called the hero Lycidian.
14:20
Speaker 1: I don't know what I just said, probably not the
14:26
Speaker 1: right pronunciation. But they named the storm. And it's interesting
14:30
Speaker 1: to me that they used to name the storms even
14:35
Speaker 1: back then, like we named you know, I don't know
14:41
Speaker 1: if you can remember Almino or I'm pretty sure everyone
14:46
Speaker 1: remembers Hurricane Katrina. So I just thought that was interesting.
14:51
Speaker 1: That was over two thousand years ago and they were
14:53
Speaker 1: naming storms back then. Now, this storm became uncontrollable. In
15:02
Speaker 1: this situation, the crew lost all natural ability to navigate
15:07
Speaker 1: safely when this storm hit. Now, this storm got violent.
15:15
Speaker 1: The winds begin to rage to the point to where
15:19
Speaker 1: there was no sunlight and no stars. So that means
15:24
Speaker 1: there was an overcast, there were clouds, there was fog
15:29
Speaker 1: like this was not a light storm at all. And
15:33
Speaker 1: these are experienced fishermen trying to navigate through the sting.
15:41
Speaker 1: In Verse twenty says, all hope that we should be
15:46
Speaker 1: saved was finally given up. That's how dark it was,
15:52
Speaker 1: That's how intense the situation was. Have you ever felt
15:57
Speaker 1: like that, Beloved, I've been there, like everything around you
16:03
Speaker 1: is out of your control. I've been in situations and
16:09
Speaker 1: circumstances where I felt like, man, my life is just
16:13
Speaker 1: out of control. I remember back when I was like
16:18
Speaker 1: seventeen years old, sixteen, seventeen, and you know, I was
16:23
Speaker 1: I knew the Lord back then. I came to Christ
16:27
Speaker 1: when I was fifteen, and everything it just seems like
16:34
Speaker 1: it was just out of control. Now thinking back, it
16:38
Speaker 1: was an enemy attacking me. You know, the enemy does
16:42
Speaker 1: not like it when we come to Christ. And I
16:47
Speaker 1: remember going to the school in front of my house.
16:51
Speaker 1: It was a sixth grade center, Joe MACKI climbing on
16:55
Speaker 1: top of the roof and just sitting there thinking it
16:58
Speaker 1: was like a rainy day when I should have been
17:01
Speaker 1: praying about everything, but I was just thinking, I'm like,
17:04
Speaker 1: I gotta do something about something. And the situation that
17:09
Speaker 1: was on my heart. I had sold a car to
17:11
Speaker 1: one of my classmates. It was a cutlass and he
17:16
Speaker 1: owed me, I don't know, maybe like five six hundred bucks. Like,
17:21
Speaker 1: he owed me some money on it. And this dude
17:24
Speaker 1: was a straight gangster. If you're from Vegas, you know
17:30
Speaker 1: about Gerson Park, right the green flags GBK And he
17:36
Speaker 1: was a Gerson And so the Gersons were like the
17:41
Speaker 1: most notorious gang in Las Vegas back in the day.
17:48
Speaker 1: And somehow I uh entered into this deal with his
17:54
Speaker 1: brother where he put some money down and he owed
17:58
Speaker 1: me some money for the rest of the car. And
18:02
Speaker 1: I knew where he hung out. I knew where he
18:05
Speaker 1: he would be in the hood. And I talked to
18:10
Speaker 1: my buddy at school, who knew he knows how to
18:12
Speaker 1: steal cars. I said, man, you know, can you help
18:15
Speaker 1: me repull my car? This is my car as a
18:18
Speaker 1: title and everything to it. And so I mean, thinking
18:22
Speaker 1: back now, like that was dangerous, Like that was guy's
18:26
Speaker 1: grace that they did not retaliate against me. But anyway,
18:33
Speaker 1: so we creep up late at night. You know, I
18:37
Speaker 1: drive my other car, you know, I had a Chevy Malibu,
18:41
Speaker 1: and so I drop him off and sure enough he
18:45
Speaker 1: had a screwdriver. He pops the nistion. You know, we
18:49
Speaker 1: get into the car and he starts it up. Now,
18:52
Speaker 1: thinking about it, I should have kept an extra set
18:54
Speaker 1: of keys, right. I gave him all the keys and
18:57
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but didn't give him the title because
19:00
Speaker 1: I was waiting for the payment. Sure enough, he starts
19:04
Speaker 1: it up and boom, we are out of there. So
19:06
Speaker 1: we roll out and we roll We're in this park
19:11
Speaker 1: across town and we're just I'm just jumping and like
19:15
Speaker 1: praising God and just yelling and you know, I'm making
19:18
Speaker 1: a commotion to the point where we got the attention
19:21
Speaker 1: of a security guard over there, and he gets on
19:25
Speaker 1: his radio and he comes and checks us out. He
19:29
Speaker 1: sees our tools and he says, man, it looks like
19:31
Speaker 1: you guys stole a car. I said, no, this is
19:35
Speaker 1: my car, and I showed him the title. So he
19:39
Speaker 1: saw the title and he walked away. At least I
19:43
Speaker 1: was wise enough to bring the title with me. It's
19:47
Speaker 1: so long story short. You know. Of course we called,
19:49
Speaker 1: and you know, he threatened me and all that he
19:52
Speaker 1: got in touch with me. I'm like, dude, you owe
19:54
Speaker 1: me some money. And so I was at the house
19:59
Speaker 1: where I got saved my Bible study teacher shout out
20:02
Speaker 1: to Miss Benita. I was at her house when we
20:05
Speaker 1: set up the final transaction, and they came and actually
20:11
Speaker 1: picked me up. I got into the car with him
20:14
Speaker 1: and we drive across town. We go to his mother's house,
20:18
Speaker 1: in Mama's house, and she gives me the rest of
20:23
Speaker 1: the money, and I give him the car, the title,
20:25
Speaker 1: everything else. And praise God that this young seventeen year
20:33
Speaker 1: old did not get murked by the curses. Back then, man,
20:38
Speaker 1: I was crazy, but you know, I was just in
20:42
Speaker 1: this situation where like a lot of things are out
20:44
Speaker 1: of control, and I just had to do something. And
20:50
Speaker 1: really I should have been praying. I should have allowed
20:52
Speaker 1: God to intervene in that situation. But sometimes you know,
20:58
Speaker 1: we gotta do something. We got to pray about it first.
21:04
Speaker 1: But back to the story in the Book of Acts, Yes,
21:07
Speaker 1: the situation was getting out of control now verse twenty
21:14
Speaker 1: one through twenty six. But after long absence from food,
21:21
Speaker 1: and then Paul stood in the midst of them. Now
21:24
Speaker 1: they were doing all this thing. They were really trying
21:28
Speaker 1: to control the storm. They were throwing their gear overboard,
21:32
Speaker 1: and it was like about fourteen days they did not eat.
21:39
Speaker 1: But Paul became the spiritual leader of the ship. He
21:45
Speaker 1: became the pastor of this situation. And God also gave
21:50
Speaker 1: him a message of encouragement during this crisis. So Paul
21:54
Speaker 1: told them to eat because they needed their strength, and
21:58
Speaker 1: he gave them a word. And it's amazing. Paul says
22:02
Speaker 1: that the God of who I am, I belong to
22:06
Speaker 1: God and I serve him. That's amazing. How many of
22:11
Speaker 1: us can say, I belong to God and I serve him.
22:16
Speaker 1: My God has reinsured us in the midst of this situation. Amen,
22:20
Speaker 1: it takes a prayer life. It takes an active prayer
22:24
Speaker 1: life to be able to be used like this in
22:30
Speaker 1: this situation. Now watch this shift real quick. The prisoner
22:38
Speaker 1: became the leader. Storms will reveal who carries real peace.
22:48
Speaker 1: Let me say that again. When storms come, the storm
22:53
Speaker 1: itself will reveal who carries real peace. Paul stood up
22:59
Speaker 1: and said, an angel of God stood by me. Now
23:04
Speaker 1: that's powerful. And then he said, do not be afraid.
23:13
Speaker 1: Fear loses power when God speaks. A man that's a
23:19
Speaker 1: T shirt right there, And let me say that again,
23:21
Speaker 1: fear loses power when God speaks. These men were comforted.
23:31
Speaker 1: I imagine that these men were encouraged. They received those
23:36
Speaker 1: words like a cool glass of water, like it was
23:39
Speaker 1: refreshing to their souls. Amen, I love to be around
23:45
Speaker 1: leaders like this, pastors like this. Twenty seven through thirty two. Now,
23:52
Speaker 1: when the fourteenth night had come after two weeks in
23:58
Speaker 1: this storm, panic some sailors to try to escape secretly,
24:05
Speaker 1: they try to. They threw some anchors down, and then
24:09
Speaker 1: they're trying to escape on this boat, this ship or whatever.
24:14
Speaker 1: But of course Paul had discernment. Paul said to them,
24:20
Speaker 1: unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved.
24:25
Speaker 1: Now that's the word, hey man. Sometimes survival means staying
24:30
Speaker 1: where God placed you. Do not jump the ship too early.
24:38
Speaker 1: I can only imagine what probably could have happened to
24:42
Speaker 1: these men if they would have jumped ship. Dad tells
24:48
Speaker 1: you right there how bad this storm was. Where these
24:51
Speaker 1: fishermen wanted to get away, you know what I mean.
24:54
Speaker 1: They didn't want no part of this anymore. They probably
24:58
Speaker 1: gave up their fishing career after that. Probably I would
25:00
Speaker 1: have found something else to do, go pick up weeds
25:04
Speaker 1: or dig ditches or something. Acts Verse thirty three and
25:14
Speaker 1: thirty eight. And as day was about to dawn, Paul
25:20
Speaker 1: implored them all to take food and man. Now, look
25:26
Speaker 1: at Paul, he just springs into action. He is a
25:29
Speaker 1: natural leader, and God was just all over him. Amen.
25:36
Speaker 1: Now Paul encouraged him physically and also spiritually. And then
25:43
Speaker 1: he gave thanks publicly in the midst of the storm.
25:47
Speaker 1: How many of us can do that? How many of
25:51
Speaker 1: us can give thanks publicly in the midst of our storms? Amen,
25:57
Speaker 1: Now that blessed me right there in the middle of
25:59
Speaker 1: k y'all, Paul gave thanks. You can see mature faith. Right,
26:09
Speaker 1: It was not fake positivity, It was real trust. Paul
26:14
Speaker 1: was really trusting in God in this situation. Can we
26:20
Speaker 1: worship while the storm is still raging? That is our question?
26:28
Speaker 1: Verse thirty nine to forty one. And when it was day,
26:33
Speaker 1: they did not recognize the land right. The ship was
26:39
Speaker 1: destroyed exactly as Paul warned them. But yet God preserved
26:45
Speaker 1: every life on board. God promised that no one would lose,
26:52
Speaker 1: not one hair up on their heads. That was God's protection.
26:56
Speaker 1: It was because of Paul. It was because of Paul's
27:00
Speaker 1: presence and Paul's relationship that God gave them everyone on
27:05
Speaker 1: the boat. God was gracious to do that. How many
27:10
Speaker 1: people in your lives are still alive because of your faithfulness.
27:16
Speaker 1: It could be your cousin, aunt, your uncle, your brother.
27:20
Speaker 1: Because of the grace of God on your life and
27:22
Speaker 1: your relationship with the Lord, they are reaping the benefits
27:26
Speaker 1: of it. They are writing upon your grace. But Beloved,
27:33
Speaker 1: that's still dangerous because they need to tap in themselves
27:39
Speaker 1: and have their own relationship with God if they plan
27:41
Speaker 1: to enter the Kingdom and man. But at least be
27:45
Speaker 1: the light. At least you be the one that can
27:49
Speaker 1: point them the way. I believe people attached to me
27:53
Speaker 1: are still around for that same principle. Hallelujah. Now the
28:07
Speaker 1: ship broke apart, but the people survive. Hear this carefully.
28:17
Speaker 1: Sometimes God won't save the shift. Let me say that again.
28:24
Speaker 1: Sometimes God won't save the ship, not shift, but the ship.
28:31
Speaker 1: But He will save you. You may lose things, you
28:36
Speaker 1: may lose your plans, you may lose your comforts, but
28:45
Speaker 1: God can still preserve your life and your purpose. The
28:51
Speaker 1: man I mean, that's my testimony. I had a five
28:57
Speaker 1: thousand square foot warehouse I paraded out of for six
29:03
Speaker 1: and a half almost seven years, and I lost it.
29:09
Speaker 1: But I'm still here. Amen, and God's purpose will still
29:15
Speaker 1: stand all right twenty forty two through forty four. And
29:23
Speaker 1: the soldier's plan was to kill the prisoners. Now, ain't
29:29
Speaker 1: that crazy? Because of the grace of God on Paul's life,
29:35
Speaker 1: they survive, and now they want to turn around and
29:38
Speaker 1: kill Paul. But the centurion spared everyone because he wanted
29:49
Speaker 1: to protect Paul. God's favor over Paul affected the entire ship. Amen,
29:58
Speaker 1: all the prisoners kept their life because of this one man.
30:06
Speaker 1: We really need to realize that family member who's praying
30:10
Speaker 1: for you, that one person in your life could be
30:16
Speaker 1: the reason why you're still alive today. A man. We've
30:21
Speaker 1: escaped death so many times because of a pre and relative.
30:27
Speaker 1: Now everybody survived because God had purpose on Paul. One
30:37
Speaker 1: faithful believer impacted everybody around him. In Verse forty four
30:43
Speaker 1: says they all escape safely to land, exactly what God promised.
30:52
Speaker 1: Exactly what God said. God said this to Paul that
30:59
Speaker 1: no hair will be lost on their heads. All they
31:08
Speaker 1: have to do is stay obedient, and all they have
31:11
Speaker 1: to do is listen to the instruction. Belove it. You
31:16
Speaker 1: may be in a situation right now where you feel shipwrecked.
31:20
Speaker 1: You feel like your life is out of control. You
31:24
Speaker 1: feel like you're in a situation that you're not going
31:28
Speaker 1: to get out of. And keep in mind, Paul, this
31:32
Speaker 1: was God's perfect will for Paul. God said that he
31:37
Speaker 1: was going to go to Rome, even though when Paul
31:40
Speaker 1: went to Jerusalem, the destination he got rerouted to Rome,
31:45
Speaker 1: because that's where God wanted them to go. So why
31:49
Speaker 1: all these storms and almost even losing his life when
31:52
Speaker 1: he's being obedient and he was in chains, he was
31:57
Speaker 1: a prisoner. That just shows you how the enemy is
32:02
Speaker 1: ruthless and relentless, relentless to attack and to stop Paul
32:09
Speaker 1: from fulfilling purpose. He lost Paul. He couldn't stop Paul
32:16
Speaker 1: from going to heaven. So the only thing he could
32:20
Speaker 1: do is try to stop God's plan and purpose on
32:23
Speaker 1: his life to where he could have become unfruitful. But
32:31
Speaker 1: even through the storm, God protected him and the enemy's
32:37
Speaker 1: plans failed. So stay encouraged, brothers, my brothers and sisters.
32:43
Speaker 1: And this time that we're going through in this country,
32:46
Speaker 1: this nation, God can still preserve you and keep you
32:52
Speaker 1: and your purpose can still be worked out of fulfilled.
32:57
Speaker 1: A man, Hey, I'm talking to myself, no one else
33:00
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged. All right, let's take a quick break.
