Brother Paul, who are you

Paul admonished others, but he got tormented for his admonishing. He taught and encouraged and put his body under. Spoke in more tongues. Was always on a higher level. Didn't have too many friends, could count close ones. Was not stagnant per location. Didn't care about retaliation or how people took his letters...Corinthian...what...didn't you know...what.... He bore a lot.

Book of acts. 
Paul always went straight into the synagogues on the Sabbath days and taught


He always had a sense of urgency

He later started to teach the brethren when barnabas took him to Antioch

He was not afraid to ask for help when he entered Greece and saw the magnitude of idol worshipping

He later met with the brethren who were talking necessary circumcision and was shown to Peter because of the heat of the argument. He was anointed to argue. He went to the synagogues to argue. He argued on the Sabbath. God used his argument to win souls.

He went to Greece, most didn't take him seriously. He knew that they were arguing for argument sake. They wanted knowledge, just to have it. Not making use of it. He was invited back to be heard again, he left instead. He could recognize time wasters. 

Paul poured out what he had in him, till night, till eutychus fell off a window asleep and die. What was his reaction, fell on him pronounced life, went back to preaching till morning. No wasting time. There was a sense of urgency and he did not rest much.

He found himself from the beginning staying with the disciples a while here and there. Like minds think alike. It's a charging, but he always soon had to go. They stayed but that's not his business. The command was go, not are others going. Paul's face was set like flint. 

Paul went from hands laid on him to Him laying hands in apollos area when they didn't know of the Holy Spirit. He went from conversion, staying a bit with the disciples to teaching the disciples to travelling for the gospel

God used him for mighty miracles along the line, it was initially going into the synagogues to prove, reason, explain. Teaching, miracles.


His life was always in danger. He was almost always sneaking out of the city. However, even after Demetrius and other idol makers of Diana wanted to injure or kill him and the clergyman calmed the people down, he was trying to walk to the place he was going next, but the disciples picked him up and they went by ship. 
Revelation 12 v 11.
