Acts 9:25 Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

When we place our faith and trust in Christ, He may well use the church around you to make a difference in your life.

Expect God to do miracles. Don’t expect Him to personally show up as a bright light and have to perform for you!

Expect God to answer prayers. Don’t expect Him to announce answers over a PA system to you!

Expect God to be with you; always!

Acts 9:22 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.

When God asks you to do something, believe Him and believe in Him to give you the strength and words to say.

Saul was recognised wherever he went as the one who had done so much against Christians, and yet now Christ was filling him with the right stuff to prove others wrong in their assumptions.

Trusting in Christ does not just mean saying you do but really putting your life in His hands for everything!

Acts 9:13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.

When God asks you to do something, what is the first thing you do or say?

Ananias answered God immediately he was called, but his answer to God’s command was to question Him!

How often do you question what God says to you? How often do you blindly go forward and do stuff?

If you are not willing to stop and think about what it is God is asking you to do, you may end up doing things for others without realising it and walking away from God!

Acts 9:9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Both Saul and the people around him heard the voice of God; now all were afraid of what was going to happen.

This is no small thing happening here – but because of Saul and his stubbornness, everyone around him had to go through this ordeal at the time!

Don’t carry on doing your own thing in front of God because you too may face something which will stop you from wanting to eat or drink for a few days!

God is real. God is powerful. Don’t doubt Him!
