The Book of Acts

Acts 20:7 - 12 (NKJV)
Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. There were many lamps in the upper room where they gathered together. And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus, who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep, and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead. But Paul went down, fell on him, and embracing him said, "Do not trouble yourselves, for his life is in him." Now when he had com up, had broken bread and eaten, and talked a long while, even till day break, he departed. And they brought the young man in alive, and they were not a little comforted.
Jesus said this, "Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also;" (John 14:12)
Paul believed and did and you can do also

Acts 20:21 - 24 (NKJV)
Testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And see, now I go bound in spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
Paul walked by faith and not by sight
Paul knew he was an overcomer because he believed and preached that Jesus was the Son of God (1 John 5:5)

Acts 28:3 - 6 (NKJV)
But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. So when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they said to one another, "No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he has escaped the sea, yet justice does not allow to live." But he shook off the creature into the fire and suffered no harm. However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm com to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Paul was not a god but he was a man of great faith who believed that Jesus was the Son of God

Acts 28:7 - 9 (NKJV)
In that region there was an estate of the leading citizen of the island, whose name was Publius, who received us and entertained us courteously for three days. And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and dysentery. Paul went to 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.
Paul understood and believed the command of Jesus as recorded in the Book of Mark - "They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." (Mark 16:18b)

Acts 28:30 & 31 (NKJV)
Then Paul dwelt two whole years in his own rented house, and received all who came to him, preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ Jesus with all confidence, no one forbidding him.
"If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes." (Mark 9:23)
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13)
Through out his ministry Paul never questioned his mission and never doubted that Jesus was with him

Romans 1:1 - 6 (NKJV)
Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated to the gospel of God which He promised before through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures, concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with Power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. Through Him we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His name, among whom you also are the called of Jesus Christ.
You who are reading this are among the called of Jesus Christ!

Romans 1:16 & 17 (NKJV)
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith.'"
Paul understood and believed that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, gave to him and to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of his and our understanding being enlightened; that he and we may know what is the hope of of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places (Ephesians 1:17 - 20)

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is Christ Jesus.
God has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:13 & 14)
God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21)

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16)
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved - (John 3:17)

Romans 8:11 (NKJV)
But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
And I (Jesus) will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever - the Spirit of truth,whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you (John 14:16 & 17)
Abba, Father we thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ for we can do all things in His strength and with Him by our side nothing is impossible, and we thank Your for Your Holy Spirit who resides in us and daily guides us in Your truth and tells us of things to come, may we always be attentive to the voice of Your Spirit and obedient to the direction of Your Son; it is in the name of our Lord and our Savior Christ Jesus that we rejoice and pray. Amen.
