And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul.
Now therefore ye with the council signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. -Acts 23:12-15
We see here that the Apostle Paul had a conspiracy against him by the jews who desired to kill him. They even abstained from food and drink until Paul was dead. If you read further you will see that their plans did not prosper. You may have enemies who are conspiring against you and you may not be aware but to be aware you need to have discernment and a relationship with God. Not only will he protect you but he will also leave you not ignorant of the devices of the devil and enemies that are all around you. It is all about what you carry and who you are in Christ that the devil has risen up people to attempt to come against your progress to hinder, block, stop, and God forbid try to kill you. I want you let you know dear Beloved that as long as you remain under the shadow of the Almighty none of their plans will prosper against your life.
There is power in your obedience unto God, your devotion, your dedication and your life surrendered unto God. In that power no witch, warlock, demon, agent of the devil can stop, block, hinder, kill you because you are covered by God. They may try and attempt, bring people against you, attempt to set you up ETC but none of it will prosper just like it did not prosper in the Apostle Paul’s life we see. Though he was imprisoned, suffered much persecution because of his walk in Christ and following the leading of the Holy Spirit. All that they attempted and tried to do against the man of God never prospered. Apostle Paul even said in the previous chapters that he is led by the Holy Spirit not knowing what will happen or where he is truly going. But with much tears through his persecution he still served God joyfully. He did not allow what went on around him, what the wicked people of his day did to him because he knew who’s he was and who was watching over him and who was leading and guiding him. The creator of all creation the creator of the universe, YHWH was the one in charge his Holy Spirit was leading him.
It is important for us to learn from the life of the Apostle Paul so that we can be strengthened in our Faith. It will build your Faith to learn about the Apostle and how God dealt with him, walked with him, used him and led him in all that he did. The Apostle Paul knew not to trust in himself nor to follow his own will, Imagine if he did he would have died a long time earlier in the word of God. Our own will leads us into destruction, death, premature death, sickness, insanity, madness, all manner of evil. Not our will but his will if you want to be successful in life, in ministry, in your business, in your family, in your marriage, in your dealing, in any area of your life. There are many wicked people out in this world who are led by their heart which the word of God lets us know is deceitfully wicked who can know it but God. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?-Jeremiah 17:9. It is a dangerous thing when we are led by our hearts and not the Holy Spirit of God. Especially when you are chosen and called out of darkness and into the light. If you do not line up with the will of God the devil will take you out of your right mind and put you in perpetual madness. He will do this because God has given him permission to do so because a person refused to serve God as he has called them. Bible lets us know in Romans 1:28 “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.”.
