[00:00:00] You are listening to MY Devotional, the Daily Devotional from Dr. Michael Youssef and Leading The Way No barriers by Dr. Michael Youssef Yesterday we learned about the Spirit's movement in Cornelius Life. Today we'll continue
[00:00:17] looking at what the Spirit did in Acts 10 as part of God's mission to spread the gospel to every corner of the world. While God was moving in Cornelius Life he was preparing Peter's heart to witness to Cornelius. God had to change Peter's view of Romans and
[00:00:33] all Gentiles, a belief system developed over a lifetime of teaching from his parents, his religious leaders, and his community. God effectively transformed Peter's thinking through a vision. God portrayed food that the Jews had always considered unclean as an analogy to the Gentiles
[00:00:52] who were considered even more unclean. No Jew would have ever invited a Gentile into his house nor entered a Gentile home. Yet in Acts 10, we learned that the voice in the vision said to Peter, do not call anything impure that God has made clean.
[00:01:13] At the Spirit's direction Peter sin finds himself traveling to Cornelius Home. Are there barriers in your life that are keeping you from sharing the gospel with someone? Perhaps God wants to use you to witness to someone you've always kept at a distance.
[00:01:28] Let's pray together. God forgive us for putting up barriers in our lives that have kept us from being completely available to you. Help us to be willing to go to whomever you call us to serve so your gospel can spread to every corner of the world. We pray
[00:01:45] this in the name of Jesus, amen. To take a deeper dive into today's devotional topic, check the show notes, for links to additional resources and while you're there, subscribe to the My Devotional Podcast so you never miss an episode.
