A
Lands, Houses… more than one.
they had extra.
they nevre gave away what was needed to sustain their familys needs.
when they did sell land or houses they brought the proceeds to the church and gave to the apostles so that they could give as was needed to the people as seen in vs 35
in this verse we see that Barnabas sold his only land and gave the proceeds,
remember the motive here, to help others as they had need.
to sustain life as they grew in Gods Word and got rooted in their faith.
Ananias and his wife,
They were together, they were one.
Sold a peice of property.
This indicates to me that they actually had more property left over.
We know that the ones who were selling houses and properties were not selling the main living quarters.
But Ananis and his wife sold a peice, i beleive they actually had other properties as well that they still owned.
This is all ok, no sin in owning properties.
Good for them as I am sure they had worked hard to have these.
vs 2
with his wifes knowledge..
She knew what he was doing, I think she didnt just have knowledge of what he was doing but had actually agreed with what he did.
what did they do?
They sold the property, then kept some of the money for themselves.
then they went to the apostles and laid the money at their feet,
Here you Peter, we just sold some property and here is the money!
This is a picture of trying to appear to be something that they werent.
wht were they trying to be,
what were they trying to look like,
they wanted to look like everyone else their,
They wanted to look like christians.
I dont beleive they were saved at all. for verse 3 shows me this.
vs 2, the second part , it says that a witness saw that Ananis sold the property for one amount and yet Ananias only brought part of the money and was claiming they this is what he had sold it for.
Do you see that part in verse 2 in your bible?
I dont see it in my bible either.
So How did Peter know this?
Peter was called and appointed by God to sherpeherd these people.
The Holy Spirit had told Peter,
It was only after the ordination service that was held for me by three pastore that God had used in a powerful way in my life.
It was when they had laid hands on me and prayed over me and for me.
This was a night I wont ever forget, i thought it was just a formoritly.
So that it could be said I was a Pastor now.
It was so much bigger that this.
It was bigger that anything than man could ever do.
It was God doing what He does.
God had ordained me, man was just being obedeint to Him in this service.
After this service God began to show me things, to equip me for things that I would be dealing with.
God would show me problems with people , families without my eyes seeing it or ears hearing of it.
And God was right!
The Holy Spirit is alive and working.
At times I have been asked something and I have said no, or not yet.
I dont have a answer as to why but I only know the answer.
Some might think who does he think he is, of course thisis Gods Will.
It very well may be Gods Will but the timing isnt right.
God says go, stop and wait.
God tells me that I have to give a account one day for each person here… I will be obedient and listen to Him no matter what.
No one told Peter about what has happened, the Holy Spirit has told Peter.
I had previously said that I didnt thing Ananias was a christian, its because of this verse.
Satan has filled your heart Ananias.
A Christian has Christ in them.
He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
Jesus will not hold hands with satan.
I beleive Ananias was only trying to seem to be releigious, wanting to fit in without surrending to God.
I beleive this is a big problem today.
It really is and we see this in the Bible, 1 out of 4, and .
A hyprocrite, a two faced person.
A hyprocrite, being something your not.
A Actor.
Ananias, why have you lied to the Holy Spirit?
You held back part of the proceeds for yourself.
Now some may want to think that maybe they were holding back to give the rest at a later date.
Dont be fooled by this.
Its been said you might fool me, you might even fool yourself but you will never fool God!
Ananis why are you trying to fool God, You are lying to God !
Ananias did not have to sell his property.
after he sold it he did not have to give any of it to the apostles.
Peter ask a question… Why have you contrived this deed in your heart?
You haven’t lied to man, You have lied to God!
in verse 4 i see an oppertunity here for Ananias,
I see a oppertunity that Peter is giving to Ananias to confess, to repent of what he has done but we see nothing at all here.
in verse 3 we see it was satan that filled his heart to do this,
yet in verse 4 we see that it was Ananias that contrived, meaning he laid this in his own heart as well.
Ananias was about self as so was his wife!
The onle person that was told to give all was the rich young ruler in ,
Ananias could have said I want to give this amount to you from the proceeds of my land.
But he didnt do this, he gave it as if he was giving it all.
How many times do we seem to be giving all that we have and all that we are to God and yet we hold back for ourselves?
I remember the first time I had studied this text years ago and then went to church and heard the who church sing I surrended all.
I was like ducking and scared to death.
I was expecting the whole church to just drop dead right their!
5
Ananias had said, I surrender all to you Lord, here it is.
and bammm.
dead as a doornail.
look at the second part of this verse,
and great fear came upon all who heard it!
I wonder why they were scared?
It goes without saying.
three hours later,
The wife comes in, no cell phones, no text, no messageing so she had not a clue as to what had happened to her husband.
She comes walking in supposeing all the others woud be looking at her as a super spirtual pperson who had sold property and gave the proceeds to the apostles.
Yeah we did that.
Its me.
But she was met by Peter at the door.
