Acts 10

In Acts 10, Cornelius, a Gentil centurion from Caesarea, sees an angel sent by God in a vision giving him directions to send for Peter. In Joppa, Peter also had a vision from the Lord, however he didn't understand it fully yet. When Peter was called on by Cornelius' messengers, Peter followed the direction of the Holy Spirit immediately and went with them. Confident in what he had heard from the Lord, Cornelius anticipated a message coming with Peter and invited everyone he knew to his home to hear the message. The Lord clarified for Peter what he had been shown and Peter knew he was to share the Gospel message with the Gentiles and they all received the message joyfully. The Holy Spirit fell on them and the Gentile Pentecostal Revival began. Cultural, religious, and social barriers were broken allowing the Spirit of God to move mightily and save lives for eternity. We need to be obedient to the Lord first, and follow wherever He leads no matter what. He may be wanting to do something different and move in a whole new direction to save lives - now and for all eternity.
