STORY OF SAUL // WHOA MOMENTS
Read: Acts 9
Have you ever had a Whoa Moment in life?
God, The Creator who is all-powerful, multi-dimensional, all-knowing God- steps into our lives over and over again. He’s more than a flannel graph Jesus. The stories in the Bible are Whoa, miracle moments.
SAUL WAS BAD
He was persecuting, killing and putting Christians in jail. He was right in the middle of the stoning of Stephen. He was not a man to mess with.
SAUL’S WORLD GOT FLIPPED UPSIDE DOWN
He encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. He had a perspective shift. God loved Saul even though he was acting evil. He pursued Saul. Read: Romans 5:8
ANANIAS
There wasn’t anything necessarily special about him except that he followed Jesus and listened to the Holy Spirit. God could have sent an apostle, a disciple or someone well known to talk with Saul- but he chose Ananias. He let him in on the fun. Ananias questioned God. God’s ok with our questions.
SAUL’S TRANSFORMATION
The church explodes. 13 of the 27 books of the New Testament are letters written by Paul (name change). God didn’t change Saul/Paul’s personality or his gifts- he changed his heart! When the WIND shows up, transformation takes place.
WE NEED TO STOP LIMITING GOD
What are the dreams and ideas God has laid in your heart? Who has God placed on your path? Do you trust that God can transform you? When you fully relinquish your life completely to God, you will experience WHOA moments in your life.
