639. Philip, the Evangelist<\/p>\n
Acts 8<\/p>\n
Philip was not a man to act on his own authority, nor one who sought to carry a mission in his own power. He was a God-sent servant and a Spirit-controlled worker. When the \u201cangel of the Lord\u201d directed Philip to go to a certain place \u201che arose and went\u201d (Act_8:26-27); when \u201cthe Spirit said\u201d to Philip, \u201cSpeak to a certain person,\u201d he obeyed with alacrity (Act_8:29-30); and when the \u201cSpirit of the Lord caught\u201d the evangelist away, he submissively allowed himself to be taken (Act_8:39). In Philip being controlled by the Lord we have the secret of his success in labour.<\/p>\n

6. His Submissiveness. \u201cPhilip caught away\u201d (Act_8:39).<\/p>\n
