Paul Listened to God.

After Paul gave his pronouncement -  Act 18:6  And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. 

-  Did he immediately go to the Gentiles? No.  He went into the house of a man called Justus, and Justus worshipped God and lived very close to the synagogue. But not only Justus was there but a man named Crispus- a CHIEF RULER of the SYNAGOGUE, and these men BELIEVED on the LORD.  These Jewish men believed what Paul had revealed- the truth of the Savior!  Crispus' whole family believed as well. Amazing!   And it wasn't just these two men, MANY Corinthians heard what was said and they BELIEVED and were baptized! Sure maybe not many in the whole of the synagogue believed but some of them did and in all of Corinth many did believe. Paul was done preaching to those of the synagogue but he was far from done preaching altogether. 

Act 18:7  And he departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 

Act 18:8  And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 

Paul spent the night in Crispus' house and in a dream vision the Lord spoke to Paul telling him NOT to be afraid, but to speak and not hold his peace. He went on to tell him that he wasn't alone- the Lord was with him and no man would hurt him there because He had a lot of people, a lot of believers in Corinth.

So what did Paul do? He stayed there in that city for a year and a half teaching the word of God.  

Act 18:9  Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: 

Act 18:10  For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city. 

Act 18:11  And he continued there a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them. 

Paul listened to God, Paul was guided by the Holy Spirit, Paul believed and wanted others to believe. Do you believe and want others to believe? Is God guiding you in any way to bring the message of His truth to others? Remember we are not all called to be preachers, teachers, evangelist and so on. We may not be a mouth piece for the Lord but there are many ways to witness for our Savior. Our very lives give testament to our walk with our Lord.

By the grace and mercy of our Lord may we walk the walk He would have us walk whatever that may be! All in His love! Now and forever!!!!!!!
