Peter Roselle: Unusual Miracles in the Streets
Channel: King of Kings Worship Center
Date: 09/07/2019

Many of the miracles in the new testament happened outside of church gatherings as Christians interacted with the lost. Acts 19:11-12 says, “Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Pastor Peter provides a different perspective on how people were healed by Paul’s apron and handkerchief. It reminds us that we are God’s ambassadors wherever we go and should be about our Father’s business wherever the opportunity arises.

ENJOY!

The apostle Paul is a marketplace example that that we can all look up to.
Acts 19:8 “And he went into the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly…”
Note, he spoke BOLDLY. now that was kind of an anti-fragile thing to do too, wasn't it”
He's been already practically stoned to death by going into synagogues. This guy was
just coming back at it - you would say a glutton for punishment. But, no, he loved the Lord and he knew he was going to start out in the synagogues. He was going to preach to Jews first and he speaks
boldly “… for three months, reasoning and arguing and persuading them about the kingdom of God.”
for three months reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.
Acts 19:9 “But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the way before the multitude he (Paul) departed from them and withdrew the
Disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.”
Does anybody know what the school of Tyrannus was? It's in the city of Ephesus and it was like a big
theatre where this guy Tyrannus would hold school. They would break for lunch and Paul was allowed to use the space to teach the Bible. But what was he doing in the morning? He was making tents.
Today they would call this bi-vocational. He would work in the morning, teach in the afternoon at this school of Tyrannus and then he would go back to work. So that's a picture of a marketplace Minister.
What would be the logic of telling Paul, “What if you quit making tents and went full-time in the ministry? Wouldn't you be more effective?” What's your answer church? Not necessarily.
Paul might say, “I get stronger by being with the lost, they're not defiling me. I'm helping lead some of them to the Lord and I'm remembering what it's like to be like them. I don't want to lose the vernacular, I don't want forget how it is in the world. 
So, If I’m supposed to treat other people the way I'd want to be treated if I were them…
And if I'm only with other Christians all the time…
I'm could easily lose that connection to the lost.
But we're never supposed to lose our connection to the lost!”
He would be working with the lost in the morning and then go teach in the afternoon.
We could argue he was a more effective bible teacher because he had been with the lost. 
Acts 19:10 “This continued for two years so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks. 
11-12 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul…” 
Don’t you find that interesting? Wouldn’t you think all miracles are unusual? Most people would be happy with a “regular old miracle.” 
“God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought
from his body to the sick, and the disease's left them and the evil spirits went out of them.”
I'm going to camp there for a minute, OK? 
I was thinking why apron and handkerchief?
Paul is a tentmaker and tentmakers wore a canvas apron to hold their tools in the pockets.
The handkerchief was really what we would call a bandana and it was around his head because it's hot Ephesus and while he's leaning over it’s keeping the sweat out of his eyes.
So, here's what happened. After his morning work shift, Paul would go in his work clothes to the Hall of Tyrannus. They would say, “Paul, there's a bunch of guys that are really sick that couldn't get here.
Could you lend us your work clothes and your bandana? We're going to take them and lay them on the sick people because it has your sweat in it.
