If it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them.

Acts 5:43-39 (5:34) But a Pharisee in the council named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. (5:35) And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. (5:36) For before these days Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. (5:37) After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. (5:38) So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; (5:39) but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God! " So they took his advice (ESV) Gamaliel spoke those words to a council of Pharisees who were deciding what to do with Peter and the other apostles... They had told them not to preach Jesus, and had even placed them in jail to try to stop them. Nothing the Pharisees had done would stop them. Why? Because what they spoke was of God. Is what we focus on in our lives of God or of men? If it is of men, we will fall on our faces... If it is of God, it will suceed... Is your life led by ideas of men or of God?
