Saul’s Transformation:
From Persecutor to Evangelist!
In the early days of the Christian church, few figures inspired more fear than Saul of Tarsus.
A devout Pharisee, Roman citizen, and zealous student of Gamaliel, Saul viewed the followers of Jesus as dangerous heretics threatening Jewish law and tradition. He actively participated in the persecution of Christians, consenting to the stoning of Stephen, the first Christian martyr (Acts 7:58).
Armed with letters from the high priest, Saul traveled from synagogue to synagogue, dragging men and women to prison and breathing “threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord” (Acts 9:1). His reputation as a relentless hunter of believers spread terror throughout Judea and beyond.
The turning point came on the road to Damascus around AD 34. Saul intended to arrest more Christians when a blinding light from heaven suddenly enveloped him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice: “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” (Acts 9:4).
When Saul asked who spoke, the risen Jesus replied, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.” For three days Saul remained blind, fasting and praying in Damascus. God then sent Ananias, a reluctant disciple, to restore Saul’s sight and baptize him. Scales fell from Saul’s eyes—both literally and spiritually. The persecutor became the persecuted; the hunter became the hunted.
Saul’s conversion was immediate and radical. He began preaching in Damascus synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. Escaping a Jewish plot against his life, he retreated to Arabia for reflection before returning to Jerusalem. There, Barnabas vouched for the former enemy, introducing him to the apostles. Renamed Paul, he launched three missionary journeys across the Roman Empire, establishing churches in Asia Minor, Greece, and beyond. He endured shipwrecks, beatings, imprisonments, and stonings, yet never wavered.
His thirteen epistles—Romans through Philemon—form nearly half the New Testament and articulate core doctrines of grace, justification by faith, and the unity of Jew and Gentile in Christ.
Paul’s transformation illustrates divine sovereignty and human surrender. The man who once guarded the coats of Stephen’s killers later wrote, “I am the least of the apostles… but by the grace of God I am what I am” (1 Corinthians 15:9-10).
From breathing murder to breathing the gospel, Saul became Paul, Christianity’s greatest evangelist. His life proves that no one is beyond the reach of redeeming grace. The Damascus Road still stands as history’s most dramatic example of how God can turn the fiercest opponent into the most faithful servant.

You may be telling yourself right now:
I WANT A NEW LIFE;
I WANT TO KNOW MY SIN IS FORGIVEN;
I WANT TO KNOW THAT I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE;
I WANT TO RECEIVE HIM NOW;
I WANT TO RECOMMIT MY LIFE TO CHRIST;
I WANT TO SETTLE THIS THING;
I WANT CHRIST TONIGHT:
Please read the following to settle all of this:
HOW TO GET TO HEAVEN WHEN YOU DIE:
How to be “Born Again”
John 3:16 makes it pretty clear: You have to Believe on Jesus Christ and you will be saved! No matter who you are! No matter what you have done wrong in your life, KNOW THAT GOD, JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT LOVES YOU!
To “Believe” upon Jesus means that:
**********************************************************************
1.) You Believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that He died on the Cross at Calvary as payment for ALL of your sins, was buried in a borrowed tomb and Arose from the dead on the 3rd Day we call Easter and accept Him as your Personal Savior by Faith;
**********************************************************************
2. You Repent of your sinful ways (Breaking God’s Laws in the 10 Commandments:
a.) Worship only God,
b.) Have no other gods before Him,
c.) Don’t use His Name in vain,
d.) Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy,
e.) Honor your Parents,
f.) Don’t kill anyone,
g.) Don’t commit adultery,
h.) Don’t Steal,
i.) Don’t lie about other people or yourself &
j.) Don’t Covet anything that is your neighbors) and try to stop sinning;
*********************************************************************
3.) You give complete control of your life to Jesus Christ!
Doing these 3 things, you will be “Born Again” Spiritually and the Holy Spirit will enter your Soul, SEAL your position PERMANENTLY in Heaven and WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE “LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE!” Again: See Revelation Chapter 20 Verse 15 to see why that is CRITICALLY important:
“Revelation 20:15 – And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire”

Let us Praise Him Daily!
A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:
1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!
2 Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.
3 Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.
4 Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.
5 Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;
6 He established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.
PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 11 in Proverbs for today: (APR 11 (MT) (ESV)
11 A false balance is an abomination to the Lord,
but a just weight is his delight.
2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
but with the humble is wisdom.
3 The integrity of the upright guides them,
but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.
4 Riches do not profit in the day of wrath,
but righteousness delivers from death.
5 The righteousness of the blameless keeps his way straight,
but the wicked falls by his own wickedness.
6 The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the treacherous are taken captive by their lust.
7 When the wicked dies, his hope will perish,
and the expectation of wealth[a] perishes too.
8 The righteous is delivered from trouble,
and the wicked walks into it instead.
9 With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
10 When it goes well with the righteous, the city rejoices,
and when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness.
11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted,
but by the mouth of the wicked it is overthrown.
12 Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense,
but a man of understanding remains silent.
13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,
but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
14 Where there is no guidance, a people falls,
but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.
15 Whoever puts up security for a stranger will surely suffer harm,
but he who hates striking hands in pledge is secure.
16 A gracious woman gets honor,
and violent men get riches.
17 A man who is kind benefits himself,
but a cruel man hurts himself.
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages,
but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live,
but he who pursues evil will die.
20 Those of crooked heart are an abomination to the Lord,
but those of blameless ways are his delight.
21 Be assured, an evil person will not go unpunished,
but the offspring of the righteous will be delivered.
22 Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout
is a beautiful woman without discretion.
23 The desire of the righteous ends only in good,
the expectation of the wicked in wrath.
24 One gives freely, yet grows all the richer;
another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 Whoever brings blessing will be enriched,
and one who waters will himself be watered.
26 The people curse him who holds back grain,
but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.
27 Whoever diligently seeks good seeks favor,[b]
but evil comes to him who searches for it.
28 Whoever trusts in his riches will fall,
but the righteous will flourish like a green leaf.
29 Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind,
and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
and whoever captures souls is wise.
31 If the righteous is repaid on earth,
how much more the wicked and the sinner!

CHAPTER 130 IN PSALMS for today: (APR 11 (TLZ) (ESV)
130 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!
For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
Revelation 19 for today: (APR 11 (NN) ESV)
19 After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
Salvation and glory and power belong to our God,
2 for his judgments are true and just;
for he has judged the great prostitute
who corrupted the earth with her immorality,
and has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
3 Once more they cried out,
“Hallelujah!
The smoke from her goes up forever and ever.”
4 And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who was seated on the throne, saying, “Amen. Hallelujah!” 5 And from the throne came a voice saying,
“Praise our God,
all you his servants,
you who fear him,
small and great.”
The Marriage Supper of the Lamb
6 Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
7 Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
and his Bride has made herself ready;
8 it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.
9 And the angel said[a] to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God.” For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Rider on a White Horse
11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in[b] blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule[c] them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and with a loud voice he called to all the birds that fly directly overhead, “Come, gather for the great supper of God, 18 to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains, the flesh of mighty men, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all men, both free and slave,[d] both small and great.” 19 And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth with their armies gathered to make war against him who was sitting on the horse and against his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence[e] had done the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur. 21 And the rest were slain by the sword that came from the mouth of him who was sitting on the horse, and all the birds were gorged with their flesh.

Please Remember:
“CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS
AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD!”
The Steps to Salvation:
> Repent: Repentance means that you are turning away from sin to turn to Christ. It does NOT mean that you will be perfect.
> Believe/Receive: Salvation is through Faith in Jesus and by the Grace of God. Believing means putting your Faith in Jesus and receiving forgiveness of sin.
>Walk in the Newness of Life: Jesus died so that we might live. We walk in the Newness of Life being Born Again by His Blood.
