Do me a favor, open the door, let 'em in.
This door should look familiar! It represents one of the four doors that God has opened this year. We know someone is coming to knock on our door, although, in actuality, they are knocking on the door to salvation, deliverance, rest, or the door to dream and God expects us to "let them in."
Acts chapter 10 is the story of Peter and Cornelius. In this chapter God is teaching Peter not to consider any person as unclean or impure. At the same time, time, a centurion named Cornelius receives a divine message to send for Peter. As Peter arrives at Cornelius' house, he acknowledges insight from his vision and preaches the Gospel to Cornelius and his household. To Peter's surprise, the Holy Spirit falls upon Cornelius and everyone who is there in the household.
People in the household had "dry bones." They were dead to salvation and on the outside of all of the doors for that matter. Peter basically said, "Dry bones hear the Word of the Lord. LIVE!"

1. How do you see Acts Chapter 10 becoming life in your life? Seeking God in prayer then be willing to go and deliver what God says to anyone that knocks on y door, even to those who I don't think are worthy of it. I must remember where I came from and what God did in my life and be willing to let God use me to do that for someone else.

What a word Rev Connie!
1 For me comes back to the concept what does God doing and what does he want to accomplish. But of course I can't know what God is doing if I don't put myself in position. Taking the time and waiting on him. Daily go for the word of the day fresh Manna.
2/3 2/3 go together go together! I know one thing that has been not being consistent I'm going to him. How do I overcome this is being reminded that God is constant he is always waiting for me to be humbled and come back to him. I know this is a step that I've seen but also one that I'm working on.
1. How do you see Acts Chapter 10 becoming life in your life?Invest the time without the preconceptions. More time sealing the Lord in prayer and the word to be able to answer the door and let those that come knocking in with an answer is a must. But going into it with your own idea of what and whom and how because of what you “know” will keep someone who wants God outside without hope or an answer.
2. What dry bones have remained in your life that need to hear the Word of the Lord?Shame of missing it in my witness and call. But staying in that state does nothing for anyone. “Live” is the command, the directive…

Rooftop times with God. There is revelation up there that is pertinent for those who will be knocking at the door. Some time ago I had asked God about having answers to "hard questions" that people are asking today. Peter's vision is an excellent example on how God wanted to answer a "hard question" of that day.
