PROOF OF GOD'S INVOLVEMENT
Acts 14:1-7
1. Now it happened in Iconium that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks believed.

5. And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to abuse and stone them.

We can stand almost anything - achieve almost anything for the kingdom's sake as long as we know that God is on our side. This is something the disciples were always sure about.
