• 2:21
  Speaker 3: can almost get lost in a crowd. You think you're
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: a number. But a lot of these large churches they
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: break in. Small churches they do it too. They break
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: off into small groups where they'll have like a Bible
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: study leader that will lead the group, and you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: they teach some of the messages that were taught on Sunday,
• 2:43

• 3:15
  Speaker 3: in prayer that the Father, we thank you for another day,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: We thank you for another time. We thank you for
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: another opportunity, Father God, to join together to fellowship over
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: your word. May your word nourish our souls. Oh God,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: we ask for revelation and the rain of word. We
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: ask Father God for better understanding of God and how
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: to pursue you, how to entreat you, and how to
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: make it into the Kingdom of God. We thank you,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: We praise you in the mighty name of Jesus. Hey man, hallelujah. Well,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: we're gonna continue our journey through the early Church, and
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: today we step into Acts chapter ten. Now, this is
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: one of the most earth shaking moments in the scriptures
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: right here. So it's gonna be pitable, right, It's gonna
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: be a great episode. So I encourage you to remove
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: all distractions in tune all the way in, because in
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Acts ten is where God begins to publicly tear down
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: walls that religion has built. Right, We're gonna tear down
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: a lot of walls, not only religion, but walls of racism.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: We're gonna tear down walls of culture. We're gonna be
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: tearing down walls of tradition. You know, if you know
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: anything about my ministry and my testimony, my heart is
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to preach the liberty that is in Christ. Right this
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: world tries to bring us into so many areas of bondage.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You know, religion can be a bondage. You can go
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: to a church that wants to manipulate and control and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: intimidate and rule over their people. You can be in
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: a relationship like that. Culture and racism and all this stuff.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Look at the history of the United States. Only if
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: we would have applied the written word of God, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: could have avoided all of this. But we're gonna look
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: at God's heart. But instead of rushing through the chapter,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: we're gonna slow down. Now this episode, we're gonna call
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it ten a right because we're not gonna go through
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the whole chapter. We're gonna go through sections of it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And we're only gonna cover verse one through verse eight
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: in this episode. Why because God changes the church. He
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: starts by revealing a seeking heart. Right before God changes
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: the church, he starts by revealing a secret heart. I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: gonna show you what I mean in the scripture, so
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: let's dive into it. In verse one. In verse two,
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about a Cetyrian. Right, there was a
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: certain man us. Uh, I'm stumbling over this word, said,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: says Syria. Oh that's not, and that's the place. Okay,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: There's a certain man in Saysyria called Cornelius, a centurion
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: and one who feared God with all his household, who
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: gave alms generously to the people and prayed to God always. Now,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: this was a devout man. And actually this is pretty
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: interesting because my wife and I were talking about this
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: the other day at the restaurant. How this man he
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: knew God, he was seeking after God, but he was
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: not in alignment. He even had a relationship with God
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: in a sense, as he would pray, he would seek.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: He was generous. He really had a heart to seek
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: after God. Now, now, Canelius was a gentile, but he
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: was a man that feared God. Now you see already
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the walls of racism are starting to be torn down.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Now someone who respected the God of Israel but had
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: not fully converted to Judaism. So he respected the God
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: of Israel. He wanted to serve the God of Israel,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: but he did not convert all the way. He was
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a moral person. He was very disciplined, he was very generous,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and he was a prayerful man. He had all this,
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: but yet he was not saved. That can be very deceptive, beloved,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: because it's a heart matter. Who do you trust in?
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Is the question? Now? Does break this down? Slowly? Right
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: We're gonna break this down and bite say pieces right
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: here now, right away. Luke gives us five things about Cornelius.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: He is a Roman centurion. That means authority, discipline in leadership.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: He was a man's man. He represents the occupying force
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: over Israel. It was almost like if our country was
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: taken over by another country and their soldiers are worshiping
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: and serving the same guy that we serve right now.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: He's also a gentile, so that means he's an outsider.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: He's considered unclean in the eyes of the Jews. He's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: not part of the Covenant nation. And some Jews used
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: to say gentile dogs. A lot of Jews in their
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: mind back then, thought that the gentiles were made to
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: fuel hell, like Heaven only belonged to them. Can you
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: imagine that a heart like that, And it says that
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: he fears God. This isn't casual belief, This isn't all
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: I believe in God. This is a reverence where he
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: feared the Lord God Almighty, hallelujah. I wonder even today,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: where is the fear of God? Today? Where is the
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: fear of God in this generation? I say that to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: my children all the time, like where is your fear
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: of God? Also, his whole house sold followed his example.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: His faith influenced his whole family. And I've heard it
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: said before that once the father, the head get saved
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: in the family, the whole family gets saved. And then
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: finally he gives generosity. I mean he gives generously, and
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: he is a man of prayer. He is praying continuously.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Even today it's hard. We struggle with being consistent in
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: our prayer life. And this man man, he's running circles
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: around all of us at this moment, right.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: If he was alive today, many churches would call him
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: a good Christian. They would say that this is a
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: man of God. They would say that this man is
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: like man. He's driving on all cylinders right. But here
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: is the tension looks like another one. Cornelius is sincere.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: But sincerity does not equal salvation. That is very critical.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: So you can pray regularly, you can give generously. You
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: can also lead your family morally and have a fear
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: of God intellectually, and you still need Jesus. See, Cornelius
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: doesn't need religion, he needs revelation. He needs a better
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: and a greater understanding. Right, So let's see how Heaven
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: responds to this. In verse three and four, about the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: ninth hour of the day, he saw clearly in a
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: vision an angel of God coming in and saying to
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: him Canelius. And when he observed him, he was afraid
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: and said, what is it? Lord Like? He was like,
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: what's going on? So he said to him, your prayers
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and your elms have come up for a memorial before God.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Now I want to say this, and this is actually
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: real encouraging. Even though he did not have the full Gospel,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: God took notice. It came up as a memorial before God.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: God took notice of his life another one, not as
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: a basis for salvation, but as evidence of a heart
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: generally seeking God. I remember there's a scripture that says,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: if you seek, you shall find. I believe that God
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: would move heaven and earth for someone who is sincerely seeking,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: and they may be off. That should answer the question.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: For you know, what about the guy deeping in jungles
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: that never heard of Christ. Right guy in Africa or whatever.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: You know, that question always comes up. You know it
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: is God going to send that person. Hell, well, there's
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: evidence right here that if you are sincere in seeking God,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: God will reveal himself to you. And so that's our
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: heart check right there. You know, some of the people
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: we talked to they don't believe in God, or this
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: and that and the other, or they say we've tried,
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: it didn't work. The question is have you sincerely been
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: seeking God? Because if you have, you would have found
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: them by now. Amen. Now, the ninth hour is three PM,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: and that is considered the Jewish hour of prayer. Now,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: even as a gentile, Canelius has aligned himself with God's rhythm.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Now that is awesome. I'm liking this guy even more. Amen.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: We got to get in alignment with God. I was
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: talking to my wife about that the other day, getting
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: our marriage in alignment, our hearts in alignment, getting our
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: activities in alignment with God. Now, notice this, God calls
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: him by his name. You see, your prayers are not anonymous.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Right when you send a prayer up to heaven, you're
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: not sending an anonymous prayer.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Your obedience is not invisible either. This man's discipline, this
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: man's obedience you're seeking is not ignored at all. Wow,
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: this is convicting, like you need to see God like
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: this man. This man didn't even have the full Gospel,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: and look at how he was seeking God. The Angel
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: says something powerful to this man. Excuse me, He says,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: your prayers and your arms have come up as a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: memorial before God. Now let's break this down. A memorial
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: means that God remembers. Amen, we all should have a
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: memorial of the things that God has done in our lives.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: I remember, I have a memorial when I first got
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: this particular job that I really liked, a very good job,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: that my coworker, even before my approbation was up, was
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: just trying to get me fired. He would backbite, he
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: would complain, stab me in the back, he would do
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: all these things, and I just prayed out to God.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: I worshiped, and I just saw God, and I was
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: asking God in the midst of this, in the midst
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: of the whole, my whole little section. I mean, there's
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: very few people that showed me support that I went through.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: They tried to really get rid of me. And at
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: that time I was praying for a pay raise and
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: a promotion, like I was going against the grain, and
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: God blessed me with a three dollars raise and a
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: promotion in a totally different department. So as a memorial,
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: I used to hang up my work shirt in the
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: garage and I would pass by it and I would
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: remember what God did for me then. And He's done
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: it multiple times even after that. Do you have a
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: memorial of what his God has done for you? And
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: it's encouraging to know that He has a memorial for us.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: What we do for God, God remembers it. It's almost
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: like my daughter, the oldest daughter, loves to paint. She's
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: a talented painter. You give her a canvas, man, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: she can make a work of art out of it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: And it's just like God hanging up a painting, a
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: portrait in heaven that reminds him of you and your
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: action and activities. Man, this is beautiful. All right, Let
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: me keep going. I can stay here all day. But
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: as a memorial before God. But it doesn't say that
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: he was saved at this point. It just says that
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: he was seen. God sees you being seen by God
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: at this point is not the same thing as being saved. Now,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: seeking God opens the door, but Christ must still be preached.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: The Bible tells us that there's no other name under
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: heaven but which man must be saved, but the name
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: of Christ Jesus, right, And that's in the Book of
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Acts as well. And so this also tells us that
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: good works cannot save us. Right in verse five and six,
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Now send me, send men to Joppa, and send for Simon,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: whose surname is Peter. He is lodging with Simon a
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Tanner when we talked about him on the last episode.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: That Tanner is a person who cuts up animal skins. Right,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: whose house is by the sea. He will tell you
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: what you must do. Hallelujah. Look at God. God is
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: just guiding. God is just making sure like this person,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: this person belongs to me. Now, this is a move,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: like I said, in the gentile world, this is gonna
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: shock the Jews to the core. Now, angels are not
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: commissioned to preach the gospel. Guy uses people to bring
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: people to Christ. So the Angel could have just spread
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the gospel and just got him saved right at the moment.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: But no, he says sin for Peter because God ordained
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: it for man to preach to man right now. This
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: is important. If Cornelius's good works were enough, the Angel
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: could have said you're good, keep going. But instead guy says,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: you still need a messenger. Look at that, hey man,
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Look at how important it is to have a messenger.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: And I want to sit here, park here for a second.
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: Because this podcast, we can send this podcast out his
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: hot nation. We have an app, we have a radio station,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: we have a website, we have all these tools, all
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: these things that we could use to send the gospel
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: out so that they can hear the message social media.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: And I know the gospel is all over the world
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: right now with the technology that we have. But this man,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: he still needed a messenger, no matter how spiritual the
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: experience might be. Angels don't replace Jesus, and visions don't
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: replace scripture. Good deeds don't replace the Gospel. Salvation always
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: comes through hearing the word of Christ. Faith comes by hearing. Now,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: notice God's precision, precision in this. If I give my
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: words to come together, ah, Now, God gives Peter his name,
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: He gives his name, his location in his living situation. Right,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: he gives up all of Peter's information right here. And
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: it was not random. It was for a purpose. Right,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: God is always working on both sides of a divine appointment.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Nowt Us look at verse seven through eight. Now this
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: was a me obedience on the part of Peter. And
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Connelius
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: called two of his household servants and a devout soldier
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: from among those who waited on him continually. So when
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: he had explained all these things to them, he sent
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: them to Joppa. Now Connelius responds immediately to this vision.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: There was no delay, there's no debate, there's no partial obedience.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'll do it halfway. Now he did it immediately. See
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: he does not procrastinate. Right, he explains the vision to them.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: Now he chooses trusted men. Now that is a treasure.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: If you have men that you can trust in ministry,
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: you need to thank God for that. Hallelujah. And he
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: sends them out immediately. Obedience is often the proof of sincerity.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: And notice who he sends. He sends servants in a
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: devout soldier. And I was just pondering on that, like
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: one of his most faithful soldier to protect his servants.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: So it's three of them, at least three in this company.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: And his faith was already shaped and it already shifted
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: his environment before Cannelius knew Jesus. Jesus is already shaping
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Cannelius's life. God is already working on this man. Hallelujah.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Now here's the application. Let's park right here for a second.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Now this man Canelius teaches us something that is vital.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: You can be close to the kingdom and still not
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: make it inside of the kingdom. He reminds us that
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: good morals do not save a person, generosity does not
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: save a person, and prayer alone does not save. Only
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Christ saves. But here is the encouragement. God responds to
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: a sincere seeker. Hallelujah. If you're sincerely seeking God, I
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: believe with all my heart that God will respond to you.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Now if your heart is generally reaching towards truth, if
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: you're seeking truth, God will make sure that you will
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: hear the gospel and the challenge. When God speaks, we
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: have to move. We have to move on the word
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: of God. Delayed obedience is still disobedience, And that right
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: there is convicting to my own heart. And as I'm
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: going through this story, I'm just looking back on my
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: life as a young man. I mean, I'm still a child.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: I'm like eleven, ten, eleven, twelve years old. I vividly
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: remember kneeling on the side of my bed before I
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: went to bed, and I would always ask God. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: didn't do it every night, but I would do it
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: every so often. I would just ask God, would you
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: please allow me into your kingdom? Like that was my
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: whole prayer, Like allow me into your kingdom. And I
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: remember one time I would listen to the radio. It
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: was like a Sunday morning, and you know, they have
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: church and stuff they used to play on the radio,
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: and I remember listening to a sermon and just and
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: I was going through something at that time, and I
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: remember just calling out to God. And then events led
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: up to me get into some trouble as a little
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: knucklehead boy. Right then my dad, my dad ended up
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: getting me the job at the age of fifteen. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: started working because he didn't want me to go to
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: the streets. And I thank my God even to this day.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think my dad, I mean, I thank God,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: but my dad also to this day that amen he
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: allowed me to He had enough. He cared about me
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: enough to where he understood that I needed to get
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: to work. He showed me how to work, and I
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: developed a work ethic at a young age that brought
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: me out of the streets and I actually started making money.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: I actually started getting paid. And so man, that's awesome.

  Speaker 3: fully surrendered their hearts. They are not any active relationship
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: with them. They're doing good deeds and good works. It's
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: all about getting to know Christ for yourself. It's all
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: about Jesus beloved. It's not about good deeds or good works.
