Filled with the Holy Spirit - Acts 9:17 Preaching Outline on Acts 9:17 - "And Ananias went and entered the house, and laid his hands on him and said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road on which you were coming, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Introduction Acts 9:17 The book of Acts of the Apostles records the expansion of the Church under the power of the Holy Spirit. One of the most striking moments is the conversion of Saul, the persecutor of the Church, who becomes Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. In Acts 9:17, we see a crucial moment in this transformation: "And Ananias went and entered the house, and laid his hands on him and said, 'Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road on which you were coming, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Ananias, an ordinary disciple, was sent by God to minister to Saul, who was blind and fasting. This encounter was not just about physical healing, but about a spiritual baptism that would mark the beginning of a powerful ministry. Today, we're going to understand what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit and how this fullness transforms lives. Development of Acts 9:17 1. Prophetic Sense: To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be filled with grace Ananias' laying on of hands on Saul was not a human act, but a manifestation of God's grace.

To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be given authority to testify Paul wasn't filled with the Spirit just to feel a thrill, but to fulfill a purpose: He would be a witness before kings and Gentiles (Acts 9:15).Polylang placeholder do not modify He would become the great doctrinaire of the Church.Polylang placeholder do not modify 3. The Fullness of the Holy Spirit today The same Spirit that filled Paul is available to us: It's a command, not an option (Eph 5:18). It's a lifestyle, not just a momentary experience. It is the power to live in holiness and fulfill the mission. Conclusion How to be filled with the Holy Spirit today? Submission to God's will (like Ananias, who obeyed even though he was afraid). Recognition of grace (accepting that we are brothers and sisters in Christ, like Saul). Seek fullness continually (not just once, but daily - Lk 11:13). God wants to fill us with His Spirit so that we can see His glory, live in His power and fulfill His purpose!
