BE SPIRITUALLY ALERT ALWAYS – Pastor Chris
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee (Acts 10:19).
As a Christian, you must always be spiritually alert. Otherwise, you may not recognise divine promptings, and you may struggle to discern the voice of the Spirit. A vital part of soul winning is being led by the Holy Spirit, and for that, your spirit must be sensitive.
In Acts 10, we see a beautiful example with Peter. He had gone upstairs to pray, and while praying, he fell into a trance and saw a vision from heaven: a great sheet lowered with all kinds of unclean animals. Then, a voice said to him, “…Peter, kill and eat” (Acts 10:13 AMPC). This happened three times.
Clearly, the Lord was trying to get Peter’s attention for the salvation of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, who at the time had already sent three of his servants to fetch Peter. Then the Bible says in verses 17-20, “Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius…stood before the gate, and called….While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them.”
The Holy Spirit gave clear direction and instructions to Peter such that he didn’t need to second-guess. But notice that Peter was in prayer while this happened. As a result, Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his entire household received salvation and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. What if Peter hadn’t responded? What if he had hesitated?
When your spirit is sensitive and active through prayer, meditation on the Word, and walking in fellowship with the Holy Spirit, it’s easier to recognise and respond to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
CONFESSION Dear Father, I thank you for the inspiration through your Word and the Spirit. I’m spiritually alert and responsive to your guidance. I function beyond the senses. I recognise your voice and follow your instructions without doubt or delay. I’m a soul winner, led by your Spirit always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
