Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 

³ As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”

⁵ And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”

Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Acts 9:1-5

Saul had it out for Christians, as we read in Acts. He desired to kill them all until one day he came face to face with Jesus Christ. In this one moment, Saul’s life transformed from a Christian killer to a minister and missionary of the Lord. Saul even had to change his name to Paul so no one would fear him and hear his message. As we know Paul took mission trips, risking his own life to share the message of Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world. His life account can be read here on this link.

I share this story to show you the power of Jesus Christ. Who’s in your life that needs to come face to face with Jesus Christ? Maybe its your spouse. Over time things have soured in your relationship and this person you married has become a source of evil and makes life difficult. There is power in prayer. I truly believe if God can turn a Christian killer into a man of God, then, Jesus can take that spouse and turn them around to become what God intended, a blessed helpmate who loves you and supports you.

You might think it’s completely impossible to change that person and actually ready to give up. We limit God’s power when we doubt what He can do. Trust me friend, give them over to Jesus Christ. Pray that they will come face to face with Jesus and He will lead them in a new direction and bless your marriage. Never give up on what God is capable of doing in your life and the life of others! I’ve seen it first hand, He can and will transform others if you allow Him to work. And ask Him to transform your heart to forgive, as Christ forgave you! Give it a try today. God bless!
