Obedient Leads To Generations Changed

Acts 9:11-19
¹¹ The Lord told him, “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. ¹² In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”

¹³ “Lord,” Ananias answered, “I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name.”

¹⁵ But the Lord said to Ananias, “Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. ¹⁶ I will show him how much he must suffer for my name.”

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.” ¹⁸ Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, ¹⁹ and after taking some food, he regained his strength.


Imagine the courage that Ananias had to obey the Lord. This Saul person was there to put him to jail, and even kill him, but yet the Lord tells him to go and heal him. That takes courage and boldness, and only through the Holy Spirit can it be done.

This is a perfect example of how good God is. With faith like this, generations can be changed. By the Holy Spirit, we may be obedient to the Lord, and only then can he use us to change generations.

Father God, I thank you so much. You are so Holy and Righteous. You are so beautiful and majestic. I praise Your name because You deserve it. I pray over these words that you gave me, and allow it to sink into my spirit. Lord, let me be obedient to You. I pray that I may fight my own desires and make you more in my life. Only then can change happen, can people come to know You, that generations be saved. I declare this in Jesus name, that it will come. Thank you, Lord. I pray this in Your Holy and Mighty name.
Amen.
