“*For you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it*.” Galatians 1:13

Let us pray that many Sauls, about whom we have heard of their former way of life how they intensely persecuted the Church of God, fiercely opposed God’s people, and tried to destroy them will be transformed by Christ.
May they astonish everyone by the unbelievable transformation in their lives, as they begin to preach the same Christ whom they once tried to destroy.

Church, can we pray and see this becoming a reality soon by faith?
