Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

October 19: Job 5; Psalm 108; Acts 10-11

Scripture: Acts 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

Observation: Peter, a Jew, had been obedient to the Holy Spirit. He crossed a prejudiced barrier and entered the house of a gentile. There is no indication that Peter knew what he was to do, or what was to happen. But his obedience in going was all that was needed. While he was speaking, the Gentiles experienced the Holy Spirit the same as the Jews had on the Day of Pentecost!

Application: There is no way to over emphasize the importance of obedience! When I obey and do what I can do, I open the door for the Holy Spirit to do what He can do!!! Obedience to God opens the door for the Holy Spirit to move in my environment.

Prayer: Holy Spirit, I pray that you always find me ready and willing to obey your direction. Amen.
