What did Paul do when he was called by grace to preach to the Gentiles?

When called by grace to preach to the Gentiles, Paul immediately did not confer with flesh and blood. Scripture says he did not consult human beings, but God revealed His Son in him so he might preach Him to the Gentiles, having been commissioned for that ministry in Acts chapter 9.

Les explains that Paul had been called by grace to preach among the Gentiles. When that call came, Paul says immediately he conferred not with flesh and blood—he did not first seek human approval or instruction. The context notes that God revealed His Son in Paul so he might preach Him, not among the Jews but to the heathen or Gentiles, and that is why he was commissioned back in Acts chapter 9. Les also illustrates waiting for God's opening through a young man who became a shortwave radio operator and taught a class of men.
