Acts 5:27-42

If you look at the text, you can see the detailed types of humans. Religious leaders who try to block the Gospel with human power, force, and intimidation. People who are afraid of the power and power they have and back away. And in the face of their threats, whips, violence, imprisonment, etc., they rather rejoice and go out without ceasing to speak, in the name of Jesus. This confrontation continues to this day. If you look at the power struggle of this triangle, you can know where I belong and what my goal is. I am afraid that I might say that the religious leaders at that time are not who I am.
Volunteers who were detained in Afghanistan, they were detained and lost their freedom, but their spirit and faith could not be locked up by physical force. When our freedom is limited, we hope to be set free and set free, but it is the prison of the mind, the prison of sin, and the chains of sin that binds and imprisons us. Sometimes I say that I hate living, but when I am in an urgent situation, I will struggle to live, and I will cling to prayer. I want to live...
How long will you persecute me? How long will you make me wait?
Lord, when did I persecute you and make you wait? When I think of the Lord, I prayed for the Lord's help and to become a thorough believer. What do you mean?
I am dying of exhaustion waiting for you. After praying in the Garden of Gethsemane so that sweat and tears become drops of blood, he came to the disciples and came to the disciples and mourned if you could not stay awake with me even for a moment. I have to admit that this attitude of mine crucifies and grieves the Lord again.
My heart that wants to receive human approval rather than God, a realistic human who has no choice but to put people and work ahead of God, and a visible God would probably not have acted and spoke as before.
In this invisible stuffiness, we all have to hold on to faith and go out, but I think about Abraham and the ancestors of faith who went out believing as if they saw an invisible God. Just as an angel came to the prisoners and opened the prison door and led them out, so I pray this time believing that my shackles, unfreedom, double heart, and fear will disappear like snow and formless when the Spirit of the resurrected Jesus Christ guides us. .
Lord in my mind, Lord in my soul, Lord in me. The Lord warms my heart today, purifies my insides, and resonates with my soul. I hope that reverberation will resonate with me, my family, my neighbors, our Jesus Village Church, and people from far away countries.
We ought to obey God rather than men.
So is the Holy Spirit, which God has given to those who obey him.
The Holy Spirit, which God has given to those who obey him, also testifies of the living Lord Jesus Christ.

Now I go fishing. According to his own thoughts and experiences, no matter how many nets were lowered, the nets were empty. However, when he obeyed the Lord's command to lower the nets on the right side of the boat, and when the nets were lowered, they were too expensive to lift. I remember jumping off.
I want to get rid of all the things I was doing on my own and go to the Lord in my own way. We want to lower our nets on the right side of the boat, relying on the Word.
The disciples who rejoiced that they were considered worthy of suffering and did not cease to return to teach and preach the gospel. We pray that this will be a time to experience God's presence while finally realizing that they have received God's approval and rejoicing (Matthew 10:17), looking at the changed image in hope that was not afraid to participate in suffering.
