Now Paul stands up and defends himself before the Sanhedrin. And he causes quite a lot of unrest with what he said! Interestingly, this is the same Paul, or at that time Saul, wo about 10 years earlier stood among them and condemned Stephen to death. This passage ends with the Holy Spirit telling Paul to testify in Rome, which was effectively the centre of the world back then.
Received an image from God yesterday morning; of a bricklayer building a wall. That wall was a barrier to good things, and every time I do a particular something that displeases God, I lay a brick. Overall, the wall is going to cut me off from some of the promises of God. I do not know how many bricks I've laid already, but I can start counting how many I've laid from this point, ad I laid one yesterday. Like what Ps Aaron said, be brutal about it.
He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray. - Proverbs 10:17
