"Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word."

When someone tries to put out a fire in dry broomweed by stomping on it, the sparks fly up into the air and are carried by the wind, making the fire spread far and wide. Satan tried to discourage the early church by making Christians suffer. However, God used the martyrdom and suffering that forced Christians to leave their homes to spread the message everywhere they went. Each believer was like a spark that was blown by the divine wind of God's Spirit.
