Spirit-Led-Part 6: Every Good Thing…
“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.” - Acts 20:22–23 (NIV)
Five Elements to an Effective Ending
1. TALK about God’s Call
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. - Acts 20:24 (NIV)
2. TACKLE the whole truth
“Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.”
Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of any of you. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. - Acts 20:25–27 (NIV)
3. TRANSFER responsibility
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.
I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. - Acts 20:28-31 (NIV)
4. TRUST in God’s grace
“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. - Acts 20:32 (NIV)
5. TAKE TIME for feelings
When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him. What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship. - Acts 20:36–38 (NIV)
