Have you ever been protected from a danger you never even knew existed? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster of Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten walks us through Acts chapters 22 and 23 in the KJV, continuing the powerful testimony of Paul the prisoner.

You might be asking: Why did simply mentioning the Gentiles cause a riot? How did Paul's Roman citizenship protect him from an illegal beating? What do we do when people plot against us behind our backs? And how does God use the people closest to us to keep us safe?

Key points from this devotion:

- Paul's testimony sparked a riot the moment he mentioned God sending him to the Gentiles

- His Roman citizenship stopped an unlawful scourging and showed how God uses every detail of our background

- Paul used God-given wisdom to divide the Sadducees and Pharisees, buying himself time

- A conspiracy of more than 40 men vowed not to eat until they killed Paul — and God exposed it through one young nephew

- God personally encouraged Paul, saying he would testify in Rome — the mission was not over

God's protection often works in ways we never see. Be encouraged today.
