1. The Acts of the Apostles
You Cannot Overthrow What Is Of God
Acts 5:38-39 Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown: but if it is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting against God.
