<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">21:10-14 - Paul in the past
mentioned that in city after city prophecies came forth of bonds that
awaited him in Jerusalem. This was confirmed in Tyre (21:4). But
Agabus in the latter part of this reading, like Ezekiel of old, acted
out what would happen to Paul should he go up to Jerusalem.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">It
is important to note here how Paul lived out these prophecies - he
did </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
let them distract him from what </span></span><u><span style="">he</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
believed was the Lord's </span></span><u><span style="">guidance</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
at this time for his life. Were the prophecies true? Absolutely. But
from Paul's viewpoint, they were </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
to take precedence over the more important guidance from God. There
are believers today who will go a thousand miles to get a word from
the Lord. But - do they know how to get </span></span><u><span style="">direct</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
guidance from Him, that supersedes prophetic words and revelation?
This is a serious situation. Fully committed disciples like Paul - do
not live on the level of prophetic guidance from others, even though
authentic. They have so progressed into the Lord like Oswald
Chambers, George Muller and Rees Howells - that </span></span><u><span style="">their</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
guidance is a direct word from the Lord. Does one often hear this
distinction made today? </span></span></font>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Confirmation
to Paul in the above - can be found in the life of Elisha when his
mentor Elijah was about to be taken from him (2 King 2:3) - </span></span><b><span style="text-decoration: none;">“And
the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha,
and said unto him, Do you know that Jehovah will take away your
master from your head today? And he said, Yes, I know it; </span><u>hold
your peace</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">.” </span></b><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">This
happened again with the prophets from Jericho 2 verses later. Elisha
did not need confirmation from the gift of prophecy. As a prophet, he
like Paul had direct guidance from the Lord. We need to “come up
higher”, and not live in the realm of depending upon gifts of the
Spirit for guidance. They can be true words as to what is about to
happen should we follow a certain course - but </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
the personal word and guidance of the Lord for us.</span></span></font></p>

The above passage from Acts has brought confusion in the "Charismatic" ranks. I have thought and prayed much about this subject through the years, and finally felt free to suggest this solution. I do not present it as a "Thus says the Lord" - yet as one who in the past from his insights has received favor - I am sending it out once again - but with this difference. On December 31, 2010 I completed a rough draft for the Bible Numeric <u>Outlined</u> Interlinear Greek NT based on the discovery of Ivan Panin in 1890. It has now gone through 5 proof-readings. Can you catch any "typos" before it goes to the Printer? The 4 Gospels are now in his hands, and the printed copy of Volume I of the Interlinear will soon be available. It will appear without NOTES. Should you wish to read these, go to our Website <b><<a href="http://www.2rbetter.org">www.2rbetter.org</a>> </b>and click on "Interlinear". The problems with "postings" have not yet been completely solved, so please overlook these. Also, this text has been posted prior to the last 4 proof-readings, so there are "typos" here.
