Saul/Paul “Eunuch”

It is normal for your God to speak to you!
Will you, Do you, listen?
However;
If you refuse to listen!
 3
As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
 4
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"

5
"Who are you, LORD?" Saul asked. 
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 
6
"Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." 
7
The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 
8
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 
9
For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything. 
10
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. 
The LORD called to him in a vision, "Ananias!" "Yes, LORD," he answered. 
11
The LORD told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 
12
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."

15
But the LORD said to Ananias, 
"Go! 
This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 
16
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name." 
17
Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. 
Placing his hands on Saul, he said, 
"Brother Saul, the LORD-Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here-has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 
18
Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. 
He got up and was baptized, 
19
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. 
Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.

19
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. 
Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 
20
At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 
21
All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? 
And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?" 
22
Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah. 
23
After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, 
24
but Saul learned of their plan. 
Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. 
25
But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall. 
26
When he came to Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple. 
27
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He told them how Saul on his journey had seen the LORD and that the LORD had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had preached fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
