Some said that Paul was a sick man, a divider and cult leader, “For we have found this man a plague, a creator of dissension among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.” [1]
Others honored him in many ways, “And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went into him and prayed, and he laid his hands on him and healed him. So when this was done, the rest of those on the island who had diseases also came and were healed. They also honored us in many ways; and when we departed, they provided such things as were necessary.” [2]
God gave Paul the privilege of penning a large portion of the New Testament, planting new churches, physically healing sick bodies, and preaching the Gospel to lost souls. To some, he was deemed a disease to be stamped out. To others, he was considered a great blessing sent from God.
Praise God for helping Paul to never give up. May the Holy Spirit help us to share the Word of God and testify for Jesus as Paul did.

Never Give Up
The Lord Jesus has graced me with revelations from the Book of Jeremiah that are helpful to better understanding the relevance of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospel, the Apostles, and the Book of Revelation. I am in the midst of preparing 54 video-recorded presentations, one for each chapter of Jeremiah, plus an intro and conclusion presentation. When the presentations are done, I plan to publish them on YouTube. I also welcome invitations to share these revelations in-person. In the meantime, I publish articles online, intercede for the peoples of the nations, and say to the Lord, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
