 The Holy Spirit witnessed in every city that bonds and afflictions were awaiting Paul (Acts 20: 23). There must have been a reason why the Holy Spirit warned Paul in every city.
Paul was warned again through the spirit by a prophet not to go up to Jerusalem further down in the book of Acts

 The Lord told His disciples “Let us pass over to the other side (Mark 4: 35)” then a storm arose to threaten it. The disciples went to meet Jesus and Jesus rebuked the storm and there was a great clam (Mark4: 39). The Lord rebuked the disciples for being so fearful and how is it that they had no faith (Mark 4: 40). This response shows that the Lord expected the disciples to rebuke the storm themselves, after all the Lord had said “Let us go to the other side”.  What is a storm?
I would define a storm as an unexpected interruption to the flow of things. This is particularly evident at sea. The boat is sailing nicely and all of a sudden a storm arises that threatens the safety of the boat and in some cases the life of those on board. We all go through storms in life. There are many reasons storms come along in life. Let’s have a look at scripture of some examples of storms and what happened at the end .  The children of Israel got to the Red Sea and had nowhere else to go. They felt trapped as the Egyptians had been pursuing them. If God did not show up that was it.
Water was in front of them; a humanly impossible situation. They had come to the end of themselves; there was nothing they could do but cry unto the Lord.  Whether you realise it or not, as a Christian you are a soldier of Christ. The bible calls us soldiers of Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2; 3-4).
A soldier represents another country and defends and fights for it. Soldiers don’t live for themselves. If you look through scripture, many verses confirm and have the characteristics of a life of a soldier.
 After experiencing all the goodness and great miracles of deliverance many of the children of Israel were overthrown in the wilderness.
