The Prisoner of the Lord: What Happens When You Hear God and Ignore Him - Acts 21-23

The book of Acts takes a hard turn in Acts 21–23—and it raises a sobering question for every believer: what happens when you hear God… and ignore Him? In “The Prisoner of the LORD,” we follow Paul as he heads toward Jerusalem despite repeated Spirit-led warnings through the Church. What follows is a cascade of consequences: false accusations, violent mobs, imprisonment, and a growing realization that stubbornness can sideline mission—even when your intentions feel noble. This episode also tackles a hot-button issue straight from the text: women and prophecy in the Church, and the biblical distinction between spiritual gifts and pastoral/doctrinal authority. Whether you agree or not, the core takeaway remains the same: God speaks through His Word and through His people—and humility keeps you on mission. If you’re standing at a crossroads right now, this teaching is a warning and a comfort: God can redeem our mistakes, but wisdom listens before it leaps. Watch through to the end for the encouragement that changes everything: even in Paul’s prison season, the Lord stands by him and says, “Take courage.” Subscribe for more verse-by-verse teaching through Scripture from a biblical worldview. 📌 More Resources: 🔵 Website: https://TimHatchLive.com 🔵 Join our membership community: patreon.com/timhatchlive 🔵 Get Pastor Tim’s book: https://EndingEmptiness.com 📲 Follow on Social: 🔵 Facebook: / timhatchlive 🔵 Instagram: / timhatchlive 🔵 X/Twitter: / timhatchlive 🔵 YouTube: / timhatchlive ✅ Our Podcasts: 🔵 The Deep End – Weekly faith, politics, and culture.
