Acts14,1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue. There they spoke so effectively that a great number of Jews and Gentiles believed. 2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who confirmed the message of his grace by enabling them to do miraculous signs and wonders. 4 The people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, others with the apostles. 5 There was a plot afoot among the Gentiles and Jews, together with their leaders, to ill-treat them and stone them. 6 But they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding country, 7 where they continued to preach the good news.

*They Went as usual > What am i doing as usual?

*They spoke so effectively > I NEED TO GROW HOW I SPEAK:

a great number started to believe - because of how they spoke! WHAT CAN I DO BETTER SPEAKING?

*They refused to believe > Believe is a discussion / i can believe ore decide not to believe: What am i doing today? Do I believe, that i can be healed? Pray to God, please heal me now!

*They poisoned their mind against the brothers > Is my mind poisoned, by why? I think the thought: "I can not do it!"-Yes it is true BUT GOD CAN - BELIEVE - LIFE IS BETTER BELIEVING GOD!

*They speak boldly FOR the Lord > Maybe one hint for the reason of their effectiveness: They spoke boldly FOR the Lord, not about the Lord but FOR the Lord. When i go up, do i speak about me, ore about the Lord. Ore do i speak FOR the Lord? And also for the LORD. Not for God ore Jesus but for what they also are: They are my LORD! I PROCLAIM THE HEART OF THE LORD!

THE LORD!

*He confirmed > What is God's confirmation for me in my life? What should i expect?????????????

Miracles and wonders happened

*They wanted ill-treat and sone them > What would i do if this would happen to me? Would i go and continue? What would be different in how i continue?

*They went to Lyztra, Derbe, ... > Many places, they went to preach! TO PREACH! Still with al the power given from God - not just sharing...

*They continued to preach > They did not give up! DO I GIVE UP? What is making me giving up?
