While Peter thought about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are seeking you." Acts 10:19
God speaks to us primarily through His Words, the Bible. Sometimes, however, He directs in ways we do not expect.
Gary Dougherty, a co-worker at RBC Ministries, was walking home from church one evening when he saw a young man coming from the opposite direction. A strong urge came over Gary to talk with him about becoming a Christian. He hesitated at first, but then he said to this total stranger, "Pardon me, but I believe God wants me to tell you how to become a Christian."
"I just asked my girlfriends mother that question," said the man, "but she didnt know." "You mean you want to become a Christian?" Gary asked.
"Yes, I do!" he replied. Still incredulous, Gary asked him again and then shared the plan of salvation with him. That night a young man met Jesus as his Savior.
Some might call this a coincidence, but theres a biblical parallel in Acts 10 with Cornelius and Peter, two men who were in touch with Gods Spirit.
Not all believers have equally dramatic experiences. But if Gods Word, prayer, and obedience are a daily part of our lives, we will be tuned in to the Spirits leading and be ready to convey Gods love to others.

Father, thank You for Your Spirit,
Fill us with His love and power;
Change us into Christs own image

When you open your heart to the Lord, He opens your eyes to the lost.
