And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house: And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? (Acts 11:11-17)

 

How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth! These are the words that the prophet Isaiah speaking by the Spirit prophesied and Paul reiterated in his epistle to the Romans. The meeting with Cornelius and the saving of his house was a sovereign arrangement orchestrated by heaven. In fact, if God had not given Peter the vision and instructions from His Spirit, Peter probably would not have gone at all. Too often we allow our traditions, prejudices and human institutions to prevent or stymie the movement of God in our midst. We become accustomed to doing things a certain way and forget that God’s ways are not as our ways and His thoughts are not as ours. He, being God and dwelling outside of time, has a clearer and broader perspective, He knows the end from the beginning and the secrets of men’s hearts are open before Him. Also and most importantly, it is His vineyard and not ours. We should do our best to prepare ourselves and others to be available for God’s use, and as we wait upon the Lord we should be sensitive to His Spirit, open to His methods, and willing to set aside our motives. When the Holy Ghost fell on the Gentiles in the same way as He did on the Jewish believers at the beginning He confirmed this to be a valid move of God. Let’s let God build His Church and we ourselves settle for being people with beautiful feet, co-laborers establishing, expressing and advancing His rule and dominion in all the earth, amen.

 

 

Father as we sit under the word and learn of You, as we study to show ourselves approved unto You, work in our hearts, anointing us that we might be willing and able vessels to be sent to spread the good news without prejudice. Your word declares that it is You who draw men to Jesus, it is Your Spirit Who makes the things of Jesus known to men and You have chosen the foolishness of preaching to save men from the fires of hell. As we go forth preaching Christ and Him crucified, save, heal, deliver and make free those who been and are being oppressed by the devil. Baptize them with the Holy Ghost establishing, expressing and advancing Your kingdom and it’s agenda throughout the whole earth. In Jesus’ great name.
