8. 19 and taking food, he was
strengthened. For some days he was
with the disciples at Damascus.
20 And immediately he proclaimed
Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He
is the Son of God."

9. 21 And all who heard him were
amazed and said, "Is not this the
man who made havoc in Jerusalem
of those who called upon this name?
And has he not come here for this
purpose, to bring them bound before
the chief priests?"

10. 22 But Saul increased all the more in
strength, and confounded the Jews
who lived in Damascus by proving
that Jesus was the Christ. 23 When
many days had passed, the Jews
plotted to kill him, 24 but their plot
became known to Saul. They were
watching the gates day and night in
order to kill him,

11. 25 but his disciples took him by night
and let him down through an
opening in the wall, lowering him in
a basket. 26 And when he had come
to Jerusalem, he attempted to join
the disciples. And they were all
afraid of him, for they did not believe
that he was a disciple.

12. 27 But Barnabas took him and
brought him to the apostles and
declared to them how on the road
he had seen the Lord, who spoke to
him, and how at Damascus he had
preached boldly in the name of
Jesus. 28 So he went in and out
among them at Jerusalem, preaching
boldly in the name of the Lord.

13. 29 And he spoke and disputed
against the Hellenists. But they were
seeking to kill him. 30 And when the
brothers learned this, they brought
him down to Caesarea and sent him
off to Tarsus.

14. 31 So the church throughout all
Judea and Galilee and Samaria had
peace and was being built up. And
walking in the fear of the Lord and in
the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it
multiplied.

17. 1 But Saul, still breathing threats and
murder against the disciples of the Lord,
went to the high priest
2 and asked him for letters to the
synagogues at Damascus, so that if he
found any belonging to the Way, men or
women, he might bring them bound to
Jerusalem.

19. The view of Saul about
Jesus was formed by his
previous beliefs

21. Philippians 3:5-6
5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the
people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin,
a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a
Pharisee;
6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church;
as to righteousness, under the law
blameless.

23. Saul’s religious belief led him
to kill Christians

24. Today many people were
established in wrong beliefs
that leads them to persecute
Christians and some kill.

25. Only the WORD OF GOD
can establish a person in the
right way.

26. PARADIGM SHIFT
WAS NECESSARY

27. Some Christians were
established in wrong principles an
later grew in wrong motives
in Christian life.

28. Many people focus on
Prosperity life than
Crucified Life in Christ

29. Many people spend so much
on church buildings more than
building the lives of people

30. Many likes to testify receiving
material blessings than
testifying giving blessing to
others.

32. 3 Now as he went on his way, he
approached Damascus, and suddenly a
light from heaven flashed around him.
4 And falling to the ground he heard a
voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are
you persecuting me?"

33. 5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And
he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are
persecuting.
6 But rise and enter the city, and you
will be told what you are to do."
7 The men who were traveling with him
stood speechless, hearing the voice but
seeing no one.

34. 8 Saul rose from the ground, and
although his eyes were opened, he saw
nothing. So they led him by the hand and
brought him into Damascus.
9 And for three days he was without
sight, and neither ate nor drank.

36. Why did God needed to
intervened in Saul by Jesus
appearing to him and not let
others preach to him?

37. Because anyone who
preaches in front of Paul was
killed.

38. Today God is doing it in the
middle east.

40. Saul’s view of Jesus change aft
the Damascus
encounter.

41. He now believe that Jesus is th
Son of God and the
Christ

43. 9 And for three days he was without
sight, and neither ate nor drank.

44. Saul had a time to process
everything he believe before.
A time of prayer with the Lord.

46. Sometimes our obedience to
Christ will lead us to suffer in
some areas of our life as a
testimony of our devotion to
Christ.

47. Some gave up their dreams
to become missionaries

48. Some left their professions,
sacrificed their time, strength,
money, some gave their life.

53. Saul by his previous profession as
a sanhedrin and pharisee could
have influence the order to
persecute Christians and stop it
but God did not allow it.
Saul joins the suffering to become
more like Jesus.

54. God will allow us to go through a
certain period of suffering for Him to
accomplish a humble spirit in us and a
submitted spirit to the will of God.
By doing this, God is establishing us .

56. 3 The devil said to him, "If you are the
Son of God, command this stone to
become bread."
4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written,
'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"

57. Jesus was offered comfort more than
suffering in hunger but did not gave in.

59. Saul was reconciled not only to God
but also to the Christians in the commun

60. The Church or group of believers
becomes a Refuge center for Saul.
The church became his family.
Later he took the role of a spiritual
father to many churches.

61. 15 For though you have countless guides
in Christ, you do not have many fathers.
For I became your father in Christ Jesus
through the gospel

63. We need to be established in our
WALK WITH GOD so that we can
HELP OTHERS ALSO.
