Crowds listened intently to Philip because they were eager to hear his message and see the miraculous signs he did. 7Many evil8:7 Greek unclean. spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims.

As soon as they arrived, they prayed for these new believers to receive the Holy Spirit. 

You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God. 22Repent of your wickedness and pray to the Lord. Perhaps he will forgive your evil thoughts, 

The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and walk along beside the carriage.”

“But Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I’ve heard many people talk about the terrible things this man has done to the believers9:13 Greek God’s holy people; also in 9:32, 41. in Jerusalem! 14And he is authorized by the leading priests to arrest everyone who calls upon your name.”

Lord God my Father,

Fill me with your words, use me as you desire. Help me to live in such a way that others desire to know you. Make my heart rite and direct my path. Give me boldness under your authority.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
