“And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.”
Acts 22:14-15 KJV
Paul was describing to the Jews in the temple in Jerusalem, of his conversion experience many years ago on his way to Damascus to destroy the Christians on orders from the high priest in Jerusalem. Paul describes how Ananias came and said to him, “The God of our ancestors has destined you to know His plan and for you to see the Holy One and to hear His voice. For you will be His witness to every race of people and will share with them everything that you’ve seen and heard.” Only God can change the stubborn heart to that of complete surrender to the will of God. That’s Paul’s testimony that when he heard the Voice of God, it was still fresh to him. When he heard the Will of God through Ananias, he surrendered himself to God completely. Such is the power of God over mankind, without coming against the free will God has given us. Let’s cooperate with God and surrender to His plans and will, it is always for our good. Our God is good. How great is our God. Amen!
