While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, ‘Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days. (Acts 10:44-48, NRSV)
God works, how God wants to work…
Here in Acts we see Peter preaching to a group of Gentiles, outsiders, heathens, pagans, they were not a part of the church, yet we see that God decided they were ready to become a part of the church.
We hold tight to the things we have always known and want them to always be true, yet, we see time and time again in the word of God times where God does something different than what our traditions say we have to do.
Allow God to work in your life and be open to the moving of the Spirit.
No box can contain our God!
