Stand By Me
But the Lord stood by me and strengthen to me, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. So I was rescued from the Lions mouth. 2 Timothy 4:17 Paul spoke truth. He was bold and courageous. God stood by Paul when no human would. In Acts 23 verse 11, it says the following night the Lord stood by him and said, “ take courage, for as you have testified to the facts about me in Jerusalem, so you must testify also in Rome. “ Paul was anxious and nervous about what was about to happen to him.

Listening To Truth
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. 2 Timothy 4:3-4 There will come a time when sound biblical teaching will not be the thing to do. There will be a time when some will not want to hear truth. Has that time arrived today? If things get worse than what they already are? There has always been a time where people don’t want to listen to biblical truth. They refuse to listen and support the biblical…

Discipleship
And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 2 Timothy 2:2 Faithful men/women are to be able to teach others.

Some Will Depart
Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 1 Timothy 4:1 How sad that there will be people who will depart from their faith! The Holy Spirit revealed and warned us that this will happen in the end times. They will reject God’s truth. This will include ministers. They will be highly gifted and empowered by God.

Satan’s Schemes
for this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain. 1 Thessalonians 3:5 Satan is crafty and deceitful. He will do whatever he can to learn us away from God. Paul knew this about Satan. Jesus knew this about Satan. For the second time Paul warns the Thessalonians.
