Satan Is Out To Shake You Up
Charles E. Whisnant August 02, 2009 Rivers of Joy Baptist Church I Thessalonians 2:17-20 (18) PAUL CARED ABOUT SEEING HIS SPIRITUAL PEOPLE. Satan is out to get you and your joy in Christ Vs. 18 “We want to come to you.” 18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us. 1 Thess 2:18) • Faithful pastors or servants of the Lord can’t just dump the message on his people and split and come back to dump the next message and go about his merry way. He is concerned about individuals. He is concerned not only about what he says, but he is concerned about their response to what he says. • Paul desired to see their faces. Note he said “I” this time. He had sent Timothy, since he couldn’t go, but not because he didn’t want to go. • He wants to know their spiritual condition, not just to dump information on them, but to nurture their spiritual condition
