Prejudice needs breaking Acts 11 Prejudice will blind you to what is the most important matter. When Peter arrives with the good news of household salvation what was he faced with? Questioning over why he had entered a Gentiles home and what he had eaten! What concerned them was not the baptism of the first Roman soldier but the sudden break with the unquestioned way of life! They were blinded. Prejudice makes us act like we are God It leads us into the most desperate of sins, that of taking His name in vain, assuming and declaring He is saying what He is indeed not saying. God does not always believe what we believe in. Prejudice keeps us outside of being able to influence. v3 and v12 they went into the house! Influence was inside not outside the Gentiles house. God did not speak a message to us outside of the house. But He was in the world. Up close and personal. Who with? Us! Mankind, the sinner. He was the incarnation of God. God in flesh. God came into our home. The holy entered the unholy and influenced it forever. Prejudice keeps us opposed to the Spirit of change. v12 The Spirit told me (to change) ... v17 who was I to think I could oppose God (I had to change, will you?) Broken prejudice welcomes the Spirit of blessing v17 As I began to speak (Pentecost happened all over again!) There is no mission with prejudice.
