When God Speaks Privately Acts 9:7 · Life For Toledo

  I'm thinking today of Acts 9 -7. This is amongst
• 0:04
  the story of Saul's conversion to Paul. It says,
• 0:08
  Acts 9 -7, the men who traveled with him stood
• 0:11
  speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no
• 0:15
  one. Sometimes the conversation between someone
• 0:18
  and Jesus is or was meant to be for them alone.
• 0:22
  Here, enough happened that they were sure something
• 0:24
  happened without knowing exactly what had happened.
• 0:27
  It left them speechless, but not mute, just perplexed
• 0:31
  in the point of saying nothing. It's that feeling
• 0:34
  that should come over kids when the adults are
• 0:38
  talking and the conversation is inherently significant.
• 0:41
  The ache, the emotion, and the anticipation of
• 0:44
  what comes next. They didn't see Jesus, but apparently
• 0:47
  Paul did. They didn't know what was going on,
• 0:51
  but from the beginning, Paul asked questions
• 0:54
  and got answers. These were not saints. None
• 1:00
  of these people were saints. And this conversation
• 1:02
  was not among them or about them getting saved.
• 1:06
  I wonder what would become of them. But for this
• 1:10
  moment in time, it is significant that they were
• 1:12
  held without anything to say while Paul was getting
• 1:15
  direction from the Lord. We're not always going
• 1:18
  to be privy to someone else's conversation. You
• 1:21
  listen to what Jesus is saying to you. Make sure
• 1:24
  it's him, and then follow him. whatever he says.
• 1:28
  Just a quick reminder, we've now entered Grand
• 1:31
  Prix season at New Heights Fellowship Baptist
• 1:33
  Church, and there are Grand Prix workshops scheduled.

  Reach out. You can text settings to 419 -419
• 1:41

• 1:44
  group to receive updates on that topic. Thanks
• 1:48
  and God bless.
