Acts chapter 11 - Noontime Bible Study
Who thinks that they can stand in the way of what God is doing? If your answer is nobody and you truly believe it, then open your mouth without fear and tell The Good News and watch how God moves in your life and in the lives of others.
Peter was called out of his comfort zone; pulled outside of his tradition, culture and customs; and Peter was tremendously used by God to usher in the gift of The Holy Spirit to those who were seen as unworthy, unclean and unimportant.
Again, God wants to use us. Are we ready to trust God and move beyond our tradition, race and other worldly obstacles?
“As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on them as He had come on us at the beginning. Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’ So if God gave them the same gift He gave us who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?” When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” (Acts 11:15-18 NIV)
