Plan, Prophet, Purpose
1-14
Luke is the author
Plan
Paul is traveling to Jerusalem by boat with seven companions 20:4 Most of these companions we don’t know anything about except for Timothy.
vs 4-6 As Paul travels, he stops in different cities along the way and is greeted by fellow believers who encourage him not to go to Jerusalem.
Tyre - met disciples and spent seven days.
The Spirit made them aware of Paul’s future in Jerusalem.
They all went with Paul and his travel companions and bowed and prayed before they left on the ship.
vs 7-Ptolemais - met with the brethern for one day.
Prophet
vs 8-12 Caesarea - went to Philip the evangelist’s home for many days.
it says he had four daughters that prophesied ( preached/witnessed). Agabus shows up and takes Paul’s belt and ties his hands and feet signifying what is going to happen to Paul at Jerusalem.
Agabus states that the Holy Spirit revealed that he will be bound by the Jews and delivered to the Gentiles.
Luke was there and along with the others urged Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
Purpose
vs 13-14 Paul speaks up and asks why they are weeping and causing his heart to break (its hard enough, but more difficult when you know it hurts others).
He was ready no only to be bound, but to die if it was for the name of the Lord Jesus.
He was not going to be convinced by the crowd.
The crowd stopped urging him and said “let God’s will be done”.
If we look back at chapter 20 verse 22 Paul states “I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem not knowing the things that shall befall me there save the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.”
Paul knew what he was going to do because the spirit gave him direction.
He went willingly not knowing exactly what awaited him.
No one was able to persuade him to do anything else.
In you life, are you walking with God close enough to be directed by the Holy Spirit?
Some people say they never hear from God and have no direction.
I once heard you can’t steer a parked car.
If you aren’t in fellowship with other believers or with God through His word, you really can’t expect to hear from Him.
Do you know what it is God want’s you to do?
Who are you supposed to be witnessing to?
Will you obey what God has for you?
