FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / ACTS 9:17

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Acts 9:17
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT / ACTS 9:17

Three days after Paul’s supernatural encounter with Christ on the road to Damascus, at which time Paul surrendered his life to Christ, he is filled with the Holy Spirit. Paul’s experience parallels that of the disciples at Pentecost. First, he experiences the new spiritual birth and is saved (Acts 9:3-19); then later he is “filled with the Holy Spirit.” Although Luke does not specifically say that Paul spoke in tongues when he received the gift of the Holy Spirit, it is reasonable to assume that he did for these reasons:

  1. The pattern revealed in the New Testament is that a person filled with the Spirit began to speak in tongues (languages they had never learned, but spoke as the Spirit enabled them, Acts 2:4; Acts 10:14-45; Acts 10:46; Acts 11:15; Acts 19:6).
  2. Paul himself says that he frequently spoke in tongues: “I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you” (1 Corinthians 14:18).
