Cornelius - knew GOD but didnt have relationship with Jesus Christ ... YET
Peter - knew GOD and was a disciple of Jesus Christ ... preaching the Gospel message
Few thoughts from Acts chapter 10:
-- God might notice our prayers and works. He might not answer it. He'll keep it in his memory bank or "TO DO LATER" project list. Unless we are connected to Jesus Christ, we might not receive the answers to our prayers or the rewards for our good works. It might just be a "memorial" offering to God. If and when we connect or even re-connect with Him, He might go to His "memorial offering" box and starting working on those requests and honoring those acts of kindness.
-- How many times does God have to show us a vision for what He wants us to do for Him in our lifetime? Is it 3x times like He had to with Peter on that rooftop? Are you still thinking about the vision God gave you years ago? Having a vision alone wont suffice. If its not CONFIRMED and CLARIFIED by the Holy Spirit, the vision will fade away as time passes by. However, if you've received the vision and its been sealed by the Holy Spirit, are willing to take the challenge to get out of your comfort zone to obey what God has in store for you? See it, seal it, and answer the call!
Part 2 will continue tomorrow ...
Enjoy The Ride,
