Acts 9:1-22
TODAY'S RHEMA
Acts 9:17 "Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
There was a blinded man in Damascus praying to God. For 3 days and 3 nights, he didn't eat nor drink. He was meditating the path of his life. 3 days before, before he was blind, his heart was full of hatred and it drove him to kill all Christ followers in the city. But in the middle of his journey to Damascus, God revealed Himself in the bright light which caused him losing his sight. That moment, he found the Truth and he was told to see Ananias. Ananias came to him and laid a hand on him and he received his sight again and he was full of Holy Spirit.
The man was Saul and God changed his name to Paul. Even though his life was in danger; Paul didn't stop to work for God. Through his letters he wrote in the prison, he strengthened the faith of the fellow followers, even until now. He was living as a persecutor of Christ followers then experienced Divine encounter personally and eventually he experienced spiritual transformation and he was committed in all his life to spreading the gospel to the Gentiles.
When Holy Spirit dominates and fills our lives, He will start to take over our lives. He will work and expand His kingdom through our life. Thus, Holy Spirit will manifest His spiritual gifts; speaking in wisdom and knowledge, faith, healing, performing miracles, prophesying, differentiating spirits, speak in tongue and interpret the Holy Spirit tongue. How deep the fullness of Holy Spirit we experience will determine how far we will experience the manifestation of Holy Spirit in our life. Let's fill ourselves with Holy Spirit and let Him take over our life. Jesus bless us
