I have wondered many times just how many of us would be willing to go through all the things Paul did in order to reach our destination for ministering the gospel. Quite possibly we would be tempted to say, “Surely, the Lord is not in this or else I wouldn’t be having so much trouble!” Too many things are going wrong — this couldn’t be the will of God. Yet perhaps we had received a real charge through the Spirit and even a revelation from God to do this, to go and minister His Word.
