ACTA 9. 10-18 --- ANANIAS was willing to WORK FOR THE WORK OF GOD.

ACTS 9:10 --- And there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias, and said the Lord in a vision, Ananias! And he answered: Here am I, Lord.
--- ACTS 9:11 And he said unto the LORD: "Arise, and go to the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
ACTS 9:12 --- And he saw a vision that came a man named Ananias, and put his hands on him, that he might see.
ACTS 9:13 And Ananias answered, Lord, have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem;
ACTS 9:14 --- And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.
ACTS 9:15 --- I told him, but the LORD will, because this is for me a chosen vessel to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel.
ACTS 9:16 --- And I'll show you how much he must suffer for my name.
ACTS 9:17 And Ananias went and entered the house, and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which vines (the road to Damascus), sent me to receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
ACTS 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and regained his sight, and, rising was baptized.

Saul, who later became the Apostle Paul was the greatest persecutor of the early church. Saul threatened to kill the followers of the Lord Jesus laid waste the church that was forming, entering into every house, and dragging men and women, the prison. Saul, going on the road to Damascus, was surrounded by a light from heaven, and falling on the ground and heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? Jesus also said: I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Get up and go into the city, and there will be told thee what thou must do. Today's word says the Lord Jesus appeared in a vision and called the disciple named Ananias to perform a task in the work of the Lord. The Lord Jesus calls all people to work in his work, he called for a group of praise (chorus), others for group prayer, others to the group of evangelization, for the other deacons, others to the Ministry The Lord Jesus does not want anyone standing in his work, the fact is that each of us is very important to God. By Saul, who was a persecutor of his work, was called to be part of this plan of salvation and eternal life, and what seemed impossible happened, he accepted Jesus as the only sole and sufficient Savior, so we can not discourage our children, for our wife, by our parents who are not yet part of this project. Ananias when he was called by Jesus said: Here am I, Lord. The first characteristic of those who know God is to believe, and the second characteristic of those who know God is to always answer yes to God and say: Here am I, Lord. The prophet Isaiah when he heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for me? He was not expecting anyone to submit, immediately replied: "Here I am, send me to me. JESUS only continued the conversation, because Ananias answered yes. The Lord does not continue the conversation with negative people, you are often waiting for a blessing and not get paid for being always murmuring or whining. No matter how long you are waiting for a response from the Lord or if you think you're ready or not to do God's work, he is always saying, Arise. We can not let discouragement paralyze the work of God. Jesus knew the conversion of Saul, but did not know Ananias and Jesus guides him to visit the greatest enemy of the early church. Sometimes we want to stay in our homes, in our church but the Lord is always reminding us that we can not accommodate, for in this world there are many Sauls need of a visit, needing a word revealed by the Holy Spirit of God, needing prayer. Saul had a real encounter with Jesus, Saul was now a new creature, washed and redeemed by the blood of Jesus, when we encounter a real and true to the Lord of our life is never the same, it is as if we were someone else therefore fail to please this world and only think about pleasing God. The Psalmist David when he was waiting for a response of God said: I waited patiently for the Lord, and he turned to me and heard my cry. Saul took me a while to convert and often do not have the patience to pray for our relatives and wait on the Lord, but if we persevere in prayer in God's time we'll say: I glorify God in the name of Jesus every day, for my family spiritually dead, but risen. Saul was praying. The disciples of Jesus did not yet know, but Saul was completely broken and a contrite heart broken and does not despise the LORD OUR GOD. Often we are praying for a person and she is completely broken and we do not believe, because we lack faith. So the word of God is always saying, Arise brother, sister up because the work of God is for those who have faith is to those who believe, and if you believed, you see the glory of God. Ananias was a servant of the Lord and was familiar with visions from God, but Saul's servant God had just accepted the Lord Jesus and I was seeing things, I was having experiences with the Lord. God is not concerned if you have a day or a year that you have accepted Jesus, he's just looking at your heart and really making sure you have a broken heart because he wants you to have deep experiences with him through his Holy Spirit. For the disciples of Jesus to meet Saul meant death or imprisonment for a human light Saul would never change, never going to become, and Jesus said to Ananias, go visit him, because for me he is a chosen vessel. How many servants of the Lord do not believe that there may be a change in your son, your daughter, in their parents, but the guidance of God is for you not to stop along the way, is so you can keep marching, keep going to the house of God. In his vision is already lost everything, is hopeless, this is your viewpoint, but it is the view of God, in the view of God to his family is a blessing, but we must believe and trust in Jesus. We who serve the Lord Jesus, we are a chosen vessel to work in his work, but just as Saul there are several vessels chosen by God, who does not know the word of God and need to hear a word revealed by the Holy Spirit of God, to have their lives transformed. And that does not work the Lord has entrusted to the angels, but to his servants. Ananias might have said, this task is very dangerous, it's a lot of responsibility, I'm just a student, because the Lord does not send an apostle or at least a deacon, but he muttered, as he understood what the Lord wants to use all that part of his work, regardless of their position or function in the church. One of the greatest spiritual weapons that are servants of God is obedience, because through obedience we're frustrated the hell, what the adversary of our souls or more, is that we do not meet the guidelines of the LORD, when they do not obey the guidance of the Lord, we weaken ourselves spiritually and he will take power over our lives. Saul thought it was very dangerous, but obeyed. Even without knowing what the problem was Saul, but he had a sure, that could solve any problem going with him. If you are making to work in obedience to the word of God, know that the Lord is with you, know that the Lord's hand is stretched out upon thee to save thee and to protect you and to deliver you from all evil. Under the guidance of the Lord, Ananias was, and by faith he knew he would not face an enemy, but that would have an encounter with a new servant of God, and when he got home he called his brother who both persecuted the servants of Jesus. The word of God says, Show mercy and compassion each to his brother. When we talk about forgiveness and mercy, but are we able to call a brother who both chased. When we are able to forgive, to call a brother not only with his mouth, but with the heart, we identify with Jesus. Ananias guided by JESUS impose his hand on Saul so that it will be filled with the Holy Spirit, it immediately begins to see with our earthly and spiritual eyes, soon after he got up and was baptized. Jesus said, who believes and is baptized shall be saved. And the greatest victory that man can have is the salvation and eternal life in Christ Jesus. MARANATA. LORD JESUS COME!
