“Lord, Change My Attitude About That Person” (Acts 9:10–19)
Prop: 3 regularly-repeated phases which call for Attitude Change

2. A conflicting soul-born Dilemma (vv. 13–16)
A. Ananias expresses his fears over Saul (vv. 13–14)
B. The Lord authoritatively overrides Ananias’s fears (vv. 15–16)
3. A Spirit-born soft-hearted Decision (vv. 17 – 19)
A. Ananias obeyed functionally (v. 17a)
B. Ananias obeyed relationally (v. 17b.)
