This week, Bishop Rodgers teaches from Acts 9:3-6 on "Overcoming Parallel Blindness." Saul was committed to what he believed and was zealous in his belief. Saul's belief was flawed and Christ intervened. Saul was spiritually blind and did not understand the Old Testament really taught about Jesus, the Messiah. Many times, we as believers depend on our own righteousness and not the righteousness of God. Saul had a spiritual and natural encounter with Christ, but that did not equate to him being saved. When Saul fell to the ground, his unbelief and ignorance still remained. The conviction that Jesus was the One who he persecuted, brought him to know Jesus on a personal level and repent. Saul had to depend on others to get him to where God wanted him to be. This means we can't get saved by ourselves. We need others, who God has ordained to direct us in the things of God. We pray as you listen to this message, you will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of the areas in our life which keeps us blind to the things of God.
