“Podcast CCVI: Part XVI – The Acts of the Set-Apart Spirit Through the Apostles of Yahushua” Acts chapters 25-26 is ready for listening under “Audio Teachings” on comeenterthemikvah.com.
Do you see the little circle with the “i” in it at the end of the podcast name? Click on that to see what chapter I’m podcasting, and a brief description of the contents of the podcast.
Sha’ul gives his testimony before King Agrippa. The Romans saw no fault in him, just as Pilate saw no fault in Yahushua. “Religion” clouds the mind and allows the enemy to plant seeds of criticism, anger, self-righteousness, pride, and desire for evil, against someone who disagrees with it. “Religion” is an entity, a demonic stronghold, which men use to control others and increase in power. Today, the religion that is rising the fastest in the world is satanism, open, but also clouded in satanic Kabbalah and the Babylonian Talmud (Oral Law) of Elitist Pharisees of today, of the same lineage as those in the days of Messiah and the book of Acts. The book of Acts has come full-circle in the last 2,000 years, and its backdrop is with us right now.
Whether Sha’ul spoke in the heat of his passion, or spoke by the Spirit, I do not know, but he appealed to Augustus Caesar, and so could not be released as Agrippa and Festus wanted to do. These Romans saw through the lies and manipulations of the Pharisees who tried to get Rome once again to do their dirty work and kill Sha’ul, as they once forced Pilate to send Messiah to the stake. We can only imagine what would have happened if Sha’ul had not appealed to Caesar. Sha’ul trusted the Romans over any of the murderous religious Pharisees.
If he had been released, he would surely have been the target for assassination over and over until the Pharisees finally got their wish. In appealing to Caesar, he bought some security and some time.
In the 2019 movie “Paul – Apostle of Christ” you can watch a magnificent portrayal of Sha’ul, and the Apostle Luke who traveled with him – who wrote the book of Luke and the book of Acts. I highly recommend that you watch this movie to see what life was really like for the early Natsarim and the apostles, because it has now come full-circle and what was back then is what will happen now.
I will podcast the last two chapters of Acts tomorrow (27-28). Let us spiritually prepare for Shavu’ot like never before – from Exodus 19 and Acts 1. The Spirit of Yahuwah is now able to enter into us and empower us and help us overcome and endure to the end, as Messiah said. Without Him we are stripped of our defenses, armor and abilities.
Put yourself in the book of Acts and you’ll get a picture of real life. Refer to: “The Return of the Natsarim For the Last Day’s Exploits” Parts I and II, or hear the podcasts of them. The articles are under the Mikvah of Set-Apartness.
Blessings, in His love,
