Paul warns

Acts 27:9-14
Paul speaks the truth in these verses. Paul has been called as an apostle of God and he has been specific authority to receive revelation from Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father above. These verses talk about Paul's journey on a ship to Rome where he is to be tried and judged for his teachings in Jerusalem. He will go before Caesar, but first they have to get there alive. In verses 9 and 10, Paul begins to tell the crew that if they don't slow down and go another way then a heavy storm is going to come. The crew did not listen to Paul, but instead listened to the captain who assumed everything would be fine. In verse 14 it says, "But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon." This verse signifies the changing tides of the sea from a calm water to a "tempestuous storm" and that is when the crew began to fight for their lives. Paul received direct revelation from the Lord and he warned the ship's crew that something bad was going to happen, but they did not heed the words of the apostle and paid dearly for it.
Just like in Paul's story, we receive commandments and direct revelation from the Prophet and his apostles who in turn receive this revelation from the Lord. If we choose to heed their warnings and keep the commandments then we will receive many blessings and be much happier for doing so, but if we do not listen to the words of the Prophet and his apostles we have many consequences. We need to honor the Prophet and his apostles because they are the spokespeople of Jesus Christ to his Saints on the earth.
