Acts 10:28 Then he said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jewish man to keep company with or go to one of another nation. But God has shown me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

Who do you believe? Do you believe a dream or do you believe the law of the land? That is always a hard one to follow…

But if that dream has come from God He is not going to leave you in doubts about its origin. God will always show you why He has given you a dream.

Our brains are pretty amazing but they do tend to go off on a wander now and again. God will give you direction; listen in.

Acts 10:15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.”

Are you swayed by all the things the papers say about your diet? Do you stop eating things when someone says it is not good for you?

So many times in our lives we are confronted by people holding half the truth where they have come up with an answer based on that half truth.

Do we listen or do we disregard it?

Go back to God and ask His advice. Go back to the experts and ask their advice. It is not always what you think or what others say!

Acts 10:3 About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

How good are you at listening to God? Do you have to wait to hear Him out loud or do you sense His will in your life each and every day?

I know I still have days when I seem so far from God that He should have to shout out loud before I’d even hear a glimmer of what is going on; and yet there are days when I am sure He is standing next to me whispering in my ear.

Don’t be afraid to listen to Him because he is trying to tell you the right stuff – but it may be someone else who has to verbalise those instructions for you so you can understand them. Listen with patience.
