If then I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything for which I deserve to die, I do not seek to escape death. But if there is nothing to their charges against me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.”
Acts 25:11
That night the Lord appeared to Paul and said, “Be encouraged, Paul. Just as you have been a witness to me here in Jerusalem, you must preach the Good News in Rome as well.“
Acts 23:11
And Agrippa said to Festus, “He could have been set free if he hadn’t appealed to Caesar.”
Acts 26:32
God told Paul he would go to Rome, but He didn’t tell him how long it would take, or how rough the road would be.
No matter what the wait or how long it takes:
Was appealing to Caesar God’s way of getting Paul to Rome? I don’t know, but I do know that I can’t appeal myself out of God’s plan.
My “appeals” may cause a detour, but God will always work everything out for my good for those who haven’t refused His call or His love.
The middle of our “appeals” (detours)
Look at your wait and calculate in days, hours, minutes, and seconds. Then celebrate that God is working in your wait. Pray these truths over your stats.
But Jesus replied, “My Father is always working, and so am I.”
John 5:17
The Nazarenes had a reputation of being a cult?
We have found this man to be a troublemaker who is constantly stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the cult known as the Nazarenes.
Acts 24:5
Worship the one always who works everything out for me.While I’m Waiting- John Waller
