How to have beautiful days in this coming year? Story of Acts 9

As long the church is bleeding, it cannot conceive seeds
Deuteronomy 2:14
And the time we took to come from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, just as the LORD had sworn to them.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Don’t look at circumstances

Acts 20:9
And in a window sat a certain young man named Eutychus (good fortune), who was sinking into a deep sleep. He was overcome by sleep; and as Paul continued speaking, he fell down from the third story and was taken up dead.
He has forgotten his position of rest and therefore fell
God is not mad at us and He sent His Son to die for us.
Many days in Joppa

Cornelius Sends a Delegation
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,
God reached out to the Gentiles
Caesarea (severed)
Cornelius (that which pertains to the Horn, Crown)
Cornelius is from Latin
Corona is a crown. Corona virus has a crown like or horn like projection. It has crown like spikes.
God forsaw all these.
Hebrew the word horn it means kingly authority
1 Samuel 2:10
The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken in pieces;
From heaven He will thunder against them.
The LORD will judge the ends of the earth.

And exalt the horn of His anointed.”
Not every Hebrew words has the same as Latin.
The hebrew word for horn is ceren
Ceren means kingly power
Exalt my horn means lift up my authority over my enemies
Horn comes from the word ceren
Centurions were seen in good lights in the bible

They shall spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.

And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.

The LORD Calls Samuel
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD in the presence of Eli. And the word of the LORD was rare in those days; there was no frequent vision.
At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his own place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of God was.
Then the LORD called Samuel, and he said, “Here I am!”
Before God does anything He gives visions
Without visions people perish
Prophetic vision from God
Without prophetic vision people perish
Our lives will be a life of just a downhill of depression if we don’t have a vision
God is restoring hope!
When you look at your future do u see darkness or light?
The devil has robbed God’s people of their visions
He robbed the visions first
Genesis 15:1
God’s Covenant with Abram
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.”
Vision! God came to Abraham in vision!
Whatever the devil throws at you, I am your shield and your exceeding great reward
Faith has come
What do you see on the inside?
God always come to you in visions
Psalms 1:3
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
God wants to flood your heart with light
God wants to restore to you visions you have lost
The year of Hazon vision
The prophetic vision!
The heart is affected by visions
Out of the abundance of heart
See it first and you will have it!
Devil wanna trouble your heart and from pictures you see
Acts 10:1-10
Cornelius Sends a Delegation
There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius!”
And when he observed him, he was afraid, and said, “What is it, lord?”
So he said to him, “Your prayers and your alms have come up for a memorial before God. Now send men to Joppa, and send for Simon whose surname is Peter. He is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the sea. He will tell you what you must do.” And when the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier from among those who waited on him continually. So when he had explained all these things to them, he sent them to Joppa.
Peter’s Vision
The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance
Acts 2:17
‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God,
That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your young men shall see visions,
Your old men shall dream dreams.
Pictures affect your heart and your faith
Be careful to guard your heart

If we take September, Israel celebrate new year before us. September is their new year

And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, ‘Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.’
Confess with your mouth Jesus is your Lord

Acts 22:6
“Now it happened, as I journeyed and came near Damascus at about noon, suddenly a great light from heaven shone around me.
We are entering the brightest time
Something is going to happen
Acts 10:11-20
and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”
But Peter said, “Not so, Lord! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”
And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed you must not call common.” This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.
Summoned to Caesarea
Now while Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he had seen meant, behold, the men who had been sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon’s house, and stood before the gate. And they called and asked whether Simon, whose surname was Peter, was lodging there.
While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are seeking you. Arise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
Isaiah 60:2
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the LORD will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
Mid day is coming this year
Heaven is no more brass
Heaven is open to His people
See heaven open over you and your family this year
Rise Peter, kill and eat
What i have cleansed don’t call common
Don’t call anyone common or unclean
Commandments cannot change man’s heart.
Only one category of people. If there are not in Christ they are sinners
You cannot be saved if you are not a sinner
God loves people
If your heart reaches out to God, God will find you! He will send messenger to you
While Peter wondered within himself what this vision which he has seen meant
God speaks visions in types in new covenant
Everyone needs Jesus
This is not universe salvation
They are all been separated outside
2 Corinthians 5:19 (NIV)
that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
Matt 5:45 NASB
45 so that you may prove yourselves to be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
Matthew 9:36
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.
God is saying kill this animal and eat. Find your enjoyment. Don’t only fellowship with your own. Reach out to people
Many many many people will come to know Jesus in this year!
God wants people to forgive.
Forgive your wife your husband your parents your colleagues
Forgiveness is really health giving for me
People who hold a gauge are stressed
We are created to function with ℓσνє
Could it be something is going to happen in the middle of this year?
In this year of hazon vision
We got to learn to hear the voice of the spirit
Acts 10:24-34
The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”
Cornelius answered: “Three days ago I was in my house praying at this hour, at three in the afternoon. Suddenly a man in shining clothes stood before me and said, ‘Cornelius, God has heard your prayer and remembered your gifts to the poor. Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, who lives by the sea.’ So I sent for you immediately, and it was good of you to come. Now we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has commanded you to tell us.”
Then Peter began to speak: “I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
Many are beginning to get saved
We are gentiles and one new man in Christ
Acts 10:43-44
All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”
While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message.
A new change is coming!
