In the book of Acts we read of the glorious miracle in the household of Cornelius -- a transformation that came about all because one man set out determinedly to see his family saved. "There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius ... a devout man who feared God with all his household ... and prayed to God always" (Acts 10:1-2). Cornelius was so determined to see his house come into God's fullness that he fasted and prayed without ceasing. Praying people always get God's attention! When Cornelius cried out to heaven, he "saw clearly in a vision an angel of God coming in and saying to him, 'Cornelius!'" (Acts 10:3) The Lord then instructed him, "Send for Simon whose surname is Peter ... He will tell you what you must do" (10:5-6). At the same time Cornelius was praying, another praying man, Simon Peter, was having his own encounter with the Lord. God was giving him a vision to prepare him to go to the house of Cornelius to bring salvation (see Acts 10:10-16). God works on all sides when his people get to praying in earnest. He has countless ministering angels; he has chariots and hosts of heaven; he has the power and majesty in heaven and earth; he speaks the word and it is done; and nothing can withstand his perfect will. You can see your own home saved by setting your heart to obey the Lord at all cost. This is a matter of great concern to our heavenly Father. Cornelius spent time in the presence of the Lord and the Lord gave him specific direction. Likewise, God will show you what is needed on your part and when you obey, you will see revival in your home. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/david-wilkerson/revival-in-your-home/ ========================================================================
