“Ease up a bit” says your enemy: Acts 4: 17
“But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn these men to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”
Your enemy cannot do anything about the miracles in your life. Your enemy cannot change the transformation that God has done. The Sanhedrin couldn’t make the healed man a cripple again, they couldn’t turn the clock back, he was healed and standing there, well actually probably still leaping! They couldn’t do anything about the fact that people in Jerusalem were not only seeing this crippled man walk but hearing it was done in the name of Jesus. But they could try and stop it happening again.
If the enemy cannot stop you he will try and slow you down.
He will speak thoughts into your mind suggesting it isn’t worth the hassle anymore. No one appreciates what you do. No one values your hard work. The enemy will then warn you to change the course you are on.
“Stop speaking and ministering in this way, we don’t want to hear the name of Jesus anymore”
This is your cue to turn up the volume!
This is the moment not to back down, slow down, turn around, sit down, shut up but this is your confirmation that you have rattled the enemy. Speak louder, do more, let Jesus be known!
Man has always tried to silence Jesus, from the moment he was born into this world to the moment he left. But man has always failed.
There will be failure in your life. The failure from your enemy to silence the name of Jesus in you. Whatever you are doing in life do it unto Jesus. Work for Jesus. Live for Jesus in your home and with friends.
Don’t slow down and don’t shut up!
