“SAUL’S CONVERSION” BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD, BY FAR THE GREATEST EVANGELIST IN AMERICAN HISTORY!!!

ANOTHER SERMOM BY GEORGE WHITEFIELD, ENTITLED: SAUL’S CONVERSION. SAUL WAS A YOUNG ZEALOUS, WELL EDUCATED UPSTART, PHARISEE, WHO VEHEMENTLY PERSECUTED THE CHURCH. IN HIS OWN WORDS THIS IS HOW HE DESCRIBES IT: GAL. 1: [13] For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: [14] And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. [15] But when it PLEASED GOD who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, [16] To REVEAL his Son IN ME, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood. NOW THE QUESTION IS: WHEN GOD CONVERTS A SINNER IN AMERICA TODAY, WILL WE MAKE A 180 DEGREE TURN IN OUR LIFE AS SAUL DID, OR DO WE DOWNPLAY SAUL’S CONVERSION AS A SPECIAL CASE AS OUR FASTFOOD FREEWILL FRIENDS TEND TO DO, OR DO WE EXPECT AND HOPE THAT SAUL’S CONVERSION IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CONVERSION THAT ALL OUR LORD’S ELECT EXPERIENCE? DO WE NOT DESIRE TO WAIT ON CHRIST, TO DO SUCH A MIRACULOUS CONVERSION IN OUR LIVES SUCH THAT IT WILL BE SO MAGNANIMOUS, THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT WE HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED FROM COMPLETE SPIRITUAL DARKNESS INTO COMPLETE SPIRITUAL LIGHT: THE GREATEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIFE? IF JESUS CHOSE 4 IGNORANT FISHERMEN AND A TAX COLLECTOR TO BE LEADERS OF HIS DISCIPLES IN ORDER TO CONFOUND THE EDUCATED PHARISEES, CANNOT HE CHOOSE US COMMON AMERICANS TO IGNITE A BONDAGE OF THE WILL AWAKENING IN AMERICA BY INTRODUCING AGAIN IN AMERICA THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION THAT WAS PREACHED IN AMERICA DURING THE 1600 AND 1700’S? WHATEVER COUNTRY MAKES THE BONDAGE OF THE WILL DOCTRINE OF SALVATION DOMINANT, THAT COUNTRY WILL BE BLESSED BEYOND IMAGINATION.
