The Goads Were Grace | The Book of Acts
These are the final words in Solomon's Book of Ecclesiastes. In the verse 12 he writes, “Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of mankind” At the start of this book we read, these are “the words of the Preacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem.” In today's final chapter we read, “Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging, many proverbs with great care.” [v.9] We quoted a few days ago v.11 “the words of the wise are like goads, like nails firmly fixed” [v.11] and it reminds us of what Jesus said to Paul on the Damascus road, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” [Acts 26 v.14] Goads are the nails that are fixed behind horses in harness pulling a carriage, which prick them if they try to disobey the driver. Paul's conscience was pricking him as he put loving and God fearing men and women in prison and stood approving the stoning of Stephen. Do we let the “words of the wise” that God has caused to be preserved throughout the Bible prick our conscience? We should.Solomon has a particular message for the young. “Rejoice, O young … let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart … But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgement … Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come … “ [Ch.11 v.9; 12 v.1]He is writing in the despondency of old age, death is at the door, he had found “enjoyment in all his toil” [2 v.24] and now that is all over. But today we can put a fuller meaning on “before the evil days come” for our world is facing evil times and the good times (?) are largely over; “They are afraid= also of what is high, and terrors are in the way” [v.5].We must take his final words to heart, “Fear God and keep his commandments …
Two forms of spiritual “Botts Dots”…
Thanks to my listeners on this 250th episode. Iago, through ugly sexual insinuations, drives Othello into such a frenzy that he loses control and then faints. Cassio makes cruel fun of Bianca the prostitutes love for him, and Othello from a distance thinks he is talking about a good time with Desdemona. Othello strikes Desdemona in front of Lodovico of Venice.

Warning to the Remnant: Stop Kicking Against the Goads & Learn to Run with the Horses (Jeremiah 12:5) | KIB 506 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this sobering Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 506), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake share a prophetic warning for the remnant—and a deep call to spiritual maturity from Jeremiah 12:5. Mary Lou shares how the Lord interrupted her plans for a "pleasant" Feast of Dedication message and instead commanded her to sound the alarm: those who refuse to leave pagan practices—especially Christmas—will see their infirmities worsen and the enemy's attacks intensify. Dr. Lake then unpacks Jeremiah 12:5, "If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?" showing how God is using today's pressures to train the remnant to run with the horses of the Kingdom in the dangerous "thickets of the Jordan" in these last days. Along the way they discuss: The emotional "warm fuzzies" and childhood memories the enemy uses to keep believers tied to Christmas The occult, Masonic, and pagan roots of many modern Christmas traditions How commercialization, resonance, music, and nostalgia have been weaponized to keep God's people in bondage Why attacks often intensify when believers resist God's conviction and "kick against the goads" The rising beast system, AI, Nephilim technology, and Nazi/occult influence behind modern advancements How God is using small trials now to strengthen His remnant for greater pressure in the days ahead This is not a message of condemnation, but of warning, mercy, and preparation. God is calling His people to lay aside the stones of Babylon, come out of pagan mixture, and use this "footman season" to deepen prayer, holiness, and endurance—so we're ready to stand in the thickets of Jordan.

What comes to mind when you think about the Bible book of Ecclesiastes? One of the first thoughts that many have is "meaningless." There's a couple of ways to interpret that. First, some may not be familiar with it at all so it doesn't mean anything to them. Second, some may have read it and are familiar with the famous line, "Meaningless, meaningless, everything is meaningless." Is everything meaningless? Does life not have purpose?

It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'Acts 26:14Saul of Tarsus, in his encounter with the risen Christ, was given the parable of the ox goad as a reminder of the self-inflicted pain that comes upon men and nations that kick back against the will of God. Saul surrendered and became Paul the Apostle. Could we see something similar happen in America today?“The ox kicks against the goad to spite the husbandman for having goaded him onward; but instead of hurting the husbandman it hurts itself. If you think, O man, that you can stop the progress of Christ's Church, you might as well bid the universe to stand still!”Charles SpurgeonWe hope you enjoy Pastor Ray's message, “Kicking Against the Goads”.

We want to be a church that diligently seeks wisdom because we live in a foolish age. We're the smartest people to ever live, but we are very foolish because we've untethered ourselves from ancient sources of wisdom in the mistaken belief this is liberation, but it's madness. True wisdom is not being your own authority, but submitting yourself to the authority of God mediated through Scripture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spirit-filled leaders ask these questions… WHO is Jesus? WHAT does He want me to do? WHEN does He want me to do it? Spirit-filled leaders have been changed and prepared to lead because they had an encounter with Jesus. Acts 9 describes Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus. Jesus informs him that his persecuting efforts were futile, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” (Acts 9:5). The encounter transformed him from someone persecuting Christians to someone preaching Christ. His encounter with Jesus gave him a new purpose and a new vision. WHAT GOADS DOES GOD USES IN YOUR LIFE? Life change isn't easy. And God will use things in your life to bring you into your transformation. Listen to the sermon to find out the 5 “goads” God uses. IS JESUS IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING AND PREPARING YOU? Ask Him the important questions. Like Paul, He wants to strengthen you so you can go out and tell others about Him! Join Pastor Chad Glover as we journey through God's Word and find out… What questions you are to ask as leaders What goads God uses in your life for His purposes What 3 things help us walk in obedience Let's continue to journey through the book of Acts and discover what biblical leadership looks like and how we can live and lead by the Spirit of God.
