He was an officer in the roman army,high in rank,The soldiers usually used their service in the army 2 excuse their lack of religion.But not Cornelius,him and all his house served the Lord.
IF THE FEAR OF GOD RULES YOUR HEART IT WILL B MADE MANIFEST IN WORKS AND LOVE AND ALL THAT YOU DO!
One day Cornelius was in the midst of paryer and had a vision,An angel appeared 2 him,he saw the angel with his eyes,and was afraid.The angel assured Cornelius that God was pleased w/him.Could you imagine God being pleased w/U.God sayin dont worry my child your on the right path,I love you.Wow
Now Cornelius was already a very Religious man and God was pleased but GOD said theres more.His next goal was 2 accept the Christian religion and 2 believe N Jesus Christ.Not if he wanted 2 but it was a must.
So the angel told Cornelius,you must send for Peter.Cornelius made haste,he did it right away,when souls are at stake there is no time 2 lose.He sent his best people.Soon as Cornelius sent the messenger the angel went away.Now in Cornelius mind he was thinking WILL PETER EVEN COME? 2 ME A GENTILE.Peter havin the mind that gentiles are uncircumcised and unclean.Begin 2 pray,he prayed all day long and fell n2 a trance and there he had the vision.
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE CLEARER WE GET FROM THE WORLD,THE NEARER WE GET 2 HEAVEN.Peter being in a trance, his mind wuz clear of the world and he recieved divine things.Peter was directed N the psirit 2 go along w/Cornelius messengers.He took some of his own followers also.This is how you show respect 2 your ministers.YOU FOLLOW.
While waiting Cornelius gathered 2gether his own family,kinsman and friends.Peter upon entering was very pleased 2 have been waited upon.2 be receieved with anticipation was a great encouragement to him.
THAT IS HOW WE SHOULD BE GATHERIN MANY AS WE CAN 2 COME 2GETHER 2 GET FED THE WORD.
As Peter entered Cornelius fell down as his feet 2 worship him,such reverence.Peter raised him 2 his feet and said I am but a mere man myself.Peter said that honour belongs 2 God and God alone.
Cornelius begin 2 explain the vision and how he came 2 send 4 Peter.He declared 2 Peter is own desire and readiness 2 reciceve the message from God,as well as all those he had gathered.As faithful ministers,we are 2 come ready,willin and able when we are sent for.
Peter was here 2 pearch ALL THINGS commanded of him by GOD.
THIS IS Y PETER IS MY FAVORITE,HE PREACHED THE FIRST SERMON THE GENTILES WOULD HEAR.
