1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. 2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Acts 28:1-6

Serpentine Spirits like drawing close to men, because in carnal men they find their food! (dust)

Apostle Paul’s operation in Melita demonstrates that it is men who are willing to go beyond lukewarm christianity [20°C-40°C] and raise the ambient temperature of their faith walk, who can dislodge the hidden enemy and effect real change that can impact languishing men.
