Introduction
Cornelius was Roman centurion at Caesarea who was under Pontius Pilate’s authority until A.D.36 and who was in command of approximately a hundred men, called the Italian band. He and his house feared God and always prayed. Cornelius was a devout man and gave much alms to the people. One day he saw in a vision an angel of the Lord who informed Cornelius his prayers and alms had come up for a memorial before God. The angel instructed Cornelius to send for Peter and Peter would tell him what he needed to do. God was also giving Peter instructions as He was with Cornelius. Peter had gone on the house top to pray while there he in went into a trance. In the trance, he saw different types of animals that were forbidden by Jewish law not to eat; but was instructed to rise up and eat. He saw the animals three times, and each time He would say “not so Lord” and called them common and unclean. The Lord said to him “What God hath cleansed, he shouldn’t call them common”. While Peter was trying to understand what the vision meant, the men who were sent from Cornelius was inquiring about him. The Spirit told him three men were seeking for him and to go with them.

Repentance
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil. Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve (reprove) the oppressed (oppressor), judge (defend) the fatherless, plead for the widow – Isaiah 1:16-17.
Wash does not indicate that the sinner may cleanse himself, but the sinner must accept the cleansing offered by the Lord, a cleansing of the heart resulting in true repentance. Repentance is a regret or remorse over a past thought or action. Read More

Bible Study, John Chapter 6 Verse 65-71
John 6:65 – And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Jesus informed them it was the Father who gave them access to Him. Without the Father’s permission, no one would be able to come to Him. It is the Father through His Holy Spirit that draws people to the Son. If the Father doesn’t draw them they will not accept the Son of God as their Savior. It’s not that God has chosen some and denied others, He’s Sovereign and He knows the heart of man, He knows who will and who will not accept the Son. Those whose heart He knows that will accept salvation through His Son are the ones He draws to the Son. No man can go to the Father but by Jesus, the Son of God. No prayers will be answered unless it’s asked in the name of Jesus, the Son of God. He’s the one that takes our petitions and takes them to the Father, He’s the One that is making twenty-four-hour intercession for us. Read More
