Event: Paul's Farewell to the Ephesian Elders
S – Scripture
Acts 20 v. 29a, 30 I know that after my departure .. from among your own selves will arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
O – Observation
Fierce attacks from the inside. Yesterday, the prior verse talked about attacks from the outside, today this verse is about attacks from the inside. Divide and conquer is a classic strategy. It’s a strategy that Satan loves to use. The word of God can be twisted, perverted to be anything but the intention of God. Whether it is pure legalism or having the words fit their needs of what people want to hear. It is important for us to know what the truth is so that we can discern the attacks of our faith from within. 2 Thessalonians 5 v. 21-22, "But test everything; hold fast what is good, abstain from every form of evil." Its right and fair for us to make sure that what we hear is based upon God's word.
A - Application
Am I able to test and discern the attacks from the inside?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to stay focused and pure for you. Love Will.
