Questions kept running through my mind. Why would God follow such a course with Saul of Tarsus? Was He showing favoritism toward Saul by working for his salvation in a manner different from what He was willing to do to save other men into His eternal kingdom?

Then one day as I was sitting in my car waiting in a long line in front of a car wash, an answer came loud and clear. I had my Bible open, reading I Timothy 2: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority. . . . For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." Instantly a paragraph found in volume 7 of the Testimonies that I had memorized long ago came to mind with a whole new understanding.

"We do not understand as we should the great conflict going on between invisible agencies, the controversy between loyal and disloyal angels. Over every man, good and evil angels strive. This is no make-believe conflict. It is not mimic battles in which we are engaged. We have to meet most powerful adversaries, and it rests with us to determine which shall win. We are to find our strength where the early disciples found theirs. .. . 'These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication' " (p. 2I3).

Up to that time I had understood the words "and it rests with us to determine which shall win" as strictly relating to one's own personal experience. But now I saw those words to mean the experiences of others as well.

I began to see the great importance Paul attached to the power of intercessory prayer in the salvation of the ungodly. A couple days earlier I had read for my morning devotions the nineteenth chapter of Acts and Ellen White's commentary on it entitled "Ephesus" in The Acts of the Apostles. I saw how Paul found himself with a dozen young believers in the city of Ephesus, the capital of a major province of the Roman Empire.

"Ephesus was not only the most magnificent, but the most corrupt, of the cities of Asia" (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 286). Secular history establishes Ephesus as one of the great occult centers of the ancient Roman Empire.
