Name: SAUL
Birthplace: TARSUS
Job: PERSECUTING CHRISTIANS
Religion: JEW, PHARISEE
Nationality: ROMAN CITIZEN
READ
Acts 9:1-9
Saul hates, curses and tries to destroy Christians (v. 1). A strong and powerful man, a real mean dude -then - BANG! FLASH! - his whole world is turned upside down by one encounter with Jesus. Saul becomes Paul. He's converted (v. 5).
For some people, conversion is Whizz Bang Flash quick change! For other people it takes days, weeks, years, to think it all out - they take small steps towards Jesus rather than one giant leap. Others seem to have known Jesus all their lives.
PRAY
Thank God that, through the Holy Spirit, people can have a complete change of heart. Thank God for the way the Holy Spirit has worked in your own life, to help you know Jesus better.

By changing your thinking, you change your beliefs;
When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations;
When you change your expectations, you change your attitude;
When you change your attitude, you change your behaviour;
When you change your behaviour, you change your performance;
When you change your performance, you Change Your Life!
Take one giant leap. Beginning today, let GOD take charge of your life. Get to know JESUS better.
Regardless of what has gone before, walk with renewed faith.
