    Hello Mary. It can be understood that Ananias & Sapphira were indwelt by the Holy Spirit & was a part of the new Church in Jerusalem. However, they allowed Satan 'to fill their hearts & lie to the Holy Ghost', therefore paying the awful price for that deception. Discipline by the Lord was very direct in those days as the new Church was forming & developing under the guidance & teaching of the apostles. The Lord still disciplines the Church today as a whole & individuals, whenever we force our way against His Will or live lives that are dishonouring to Him; but I've not seen such a heavy discipline today as we see performed in the Bible & even if that happened, it may not be as swift & public as it was then.

    I believe you're talking about, Acts 4:31

    I think of scriptures relative: 1 Samuel 10:6 , 1 Samuel 16:14 , To get to know more about Saul's beginning & calling from the LORD please read 1 Samuel 9-10 , (chapters 9 & 10)

    Hopefully this helps
