Acts 10:8-48
Mark 5:36
My Notes:
v.8
Has God sent you somewhere? Are you still there? Every time you get up in the morning God is sending you somewhere. You are His representative. You should always be representing Christ in your day to day life. Where ever you are be it at church, work, the gym, home, or just hanging out with friends. You are supposed to be representing Christ.
v. 9
Did you pray today? As soon as you realized you were awake, did you pray. Different people in the Bible had a set time when they would meet with God. Anytime will work. Just some time set aside where you meet with God and pour your heart out to Him. This begins wit you making it into a habit. Jesus made it a habit. When Jesus was most upset......He prayed. The majority of us will get mad at God, making the situation worse then it already is. Don't get impatient with God. He will bring it to past. Probably just not in your time frame, but in His perfect time. Are your desires righteous and pleasing to God? If you wait on God, He'll bring it. Are you willing to wait?
v.10-12
Have you ever had a dream and it came true?
v.13-14
You gotta get to where you only listen to God. Remember His promises when life or people try to bring doubt. How do you not be afraid?(Mark 5:36) Have the Word in front of you at all times. If you get in a mess or have problems, don't be afraid.
v. 15-18
Has the voice of the Lord spoken to you? If you didn't have trails, tribulation, or the messed up situation that your in. You would never reach close perfection. Trails and tribulation force you to squeeze the unbelief out and trust God totally. Because, there is nothing else you can do. You ain't taking nothing to heaven with you. Remember that. Do you talk to God about how you feel about your walk with Him?
v.19-21
Has the Spirit said anything to you? Did you listen? One of His jobs is to whisper to you when your about to mess up. Have you noticed the Devil uses the same trick to get you mess up over and over again? He doesn't need to try anything new if he can still cause you to sin with the same old stuff. When you do conquer whatever area of your life you keep slipping up in. Don't get all proud of your self. Satan will just try to find something else to trip you up with. If He can't find anything new. He'll gift-wrap his original trick and try to use it. Just to see if you still have control over that area of your life.
v.20-21
Don't go and doubt God when He takes you out of your comfort zone. Don't sit there and act like you don't have a comfort zone. God allowed the circumstances to reach that point. So you would trust Him more.
v.22-27
Are you considered just? Do you fear God? Not about to puke or pass out fear, but honor and reverence fear. Are you in good report or well spoken of by people?
v.28-29
All people are created equal no race is better.
v.30-31
Your offering will be remembered
v.32-48
What was Peter doing? He was telling the story. You have to get to the point to where you can close the book and just tell the story. There is no right or wrong way. People have been caught up in the lie. That you have to tell the story a certain way. When you go to tell the story, the Holy Spirit knows when to step in. We have been so programed and fear will step in.With you character, personality, and mannerisms, He just wants you to tell the story. The Holy Spirit will do the rest. Even if they look at you like you must have a hole in your head and the brains leaked out. Remember sometimes it falls on miracle grow and other times it falls on concrete. Either way you have to tell the story.
God Bless
