Acts 13:1-4 "Now
there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as
Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen,
which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As
they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me
Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. 3 And
when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them
away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed
unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus."
" After they were sent off and on their way, they told everyone they met as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria about the breakthrough to the non-Jewish outsiders. Everyone who heard the news cheered—it was terrific news! 4When they got to Jerusalem, Paul and Barnabas were graciously received by the whole church, including the apostles and leaders. They reported on their recent journey and how God had used them to open things up to the outsiders." (The Message)
Barnabas and
Saul went round, preaching the Gospel, with signs following:
Acts 13
& 14 Antioch,
Seleucia, Cyprus, Salamis, Paphos, Perga, Pisidia,
Iconium,
Lystra, Derbe, Perga,
Attalia, Antioch.
As we pass through the open doors of Europe again, there will be
breakthroughs of conversion of souls to declare, with signs and wonders
following, as in the days of Barnabas and Saul.
ü Lord thank You for opening the doors of
Europe to Barnabas and Saul many years ago. We have hope that You will do same
today as we ask You. You are the same today as in the days of Paul, and You
will forever be the same. You can do it again!
ü Thank You for the open doors You have
already granted us into Europe. Please open us the door of utterance and let
Your Word come with power as we speak.
ü Please open the door of faith in the
hearts of the people of Europe as they hear the Gospel again. Make them
receptive. Open their understanding and let us see many genuine conversion of
souls to Jesus.
ü Acts 13:6-12.
Remove the enemies of the cross from our way, those who would withstand the
Word and prevent others from believing.
ü Acts 14:6-10. Lord confirm Your Word with signs and
wonders and miracles happening. Heal the sick, release the captives in their
minds, raise the dead. Holy Spirit, come move among us Your people as You did
with Barnabas and Saul and their team.
ü Acts 14:11-18.
Lord please help us return all the glory to You when You would have worked in
Europe as we carry the Gospel from city to city. Amen.
