When the religious people attacked Stephen



Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

After Stephen spoke truth to the religious people, the attack against him began.  Notice what Stephen did when they attacked him (and finally killed him).

Acts 7:54-60      When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,
And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep (died).

During the attack, we must look stedfastly to God ... in prayer.  Calling on God for HIS help.  Paying attention to anything the Holy Spirit would call to our mind.
