DO NOT CALL COMMON! - Beyond The Common Series 006
"But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean."
Surprisingly, some will still not let the sleeping dog lie. They rather are debating God. They are still full of jangling and will do anything to resist - even unto the shedding of blood.
Continuing from Peter's trance that was deeply examined yesterday; God still has some people in mind. They must not escape the sword of God's Word. It must divide right into their hearts and thoughts - discerning all that is hidden.
As the Holy Spirit is persuading me, I'm still hearing, "there are those who still say, I have never eaten anything unclean or common."
God is saying, "stop that!" Let that go. A change has come now. A new era! What I'm bringing to you is my will. I'm the initiator and I want you to receive it. I want you to accept it, love it and live with it. Many of you, God has brought you someone to marry or speak to about love but your response has been, "Lord, that one is not my size! We can't fit!" What you must know is that if it was the Lord who truly recommended the fellow, he or she would fit. You may not like it now but if you'll agree with it and go on this journey with the choice fellow, you'll see all the reasons and the joys that'll lace your journey.
While you're busy arguing, opening book after book, raising one argument after the other, God keeps saying also, "what I have made clean, call not common."
Let this rebuke, correction and God's insistence suffice. Don't push things further or else, you might miss God somewhere, join the wrong bus and be driven to a wrong destination that God never had in mind for you in particular. For anyone still arguing and saying, "I can't have to do with that person/people or place", your big time reply is, "what God has cleansed or where God has prepared, don't regard in the flesh." You can marry a Middle-Easterner (An Arab, Palestine or even a Jewish). You can marry any of the five races or the tribes that are on earth. You can live in a place that till now looks like a forbidden kingdom. As long as it's the Lord saying, go there or turn thee eastward, how can it be strange.
Stop seeing it as ordinary. Stop seeing that sister as all that appears. Stop believing that's how that brother will be economically and in other ramifications. Doing that is regarding men after the flesh. It's not knowing them in the correct picture that God would like you to see them - which He has given you of course. God might have told you to settle somewhere that doesn't fit your plan or fancy, I'll advise you to do just that whether a city or a town. Only Him knows the reasons and in the years to come, you'll uncover the same as you walk with Him.
Has God even called you to submit to someone as your discipler or mentor? Don't rate him as not being big enough. If it was God's mouth that said it, do so. If the sheet that came down came from heaven and not any other place, it's a reason for your Peter not to doubt. This is the Lord's doing if you're a Muslim or one of other belief/religion but God is saying, "come out of that now and put your faith in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son who died and rose for your sake." You'd better do so. Let go of the traditions and belief system that has ruled you till now. Let go of the fear of death and contrariness from persecutors from your [former] religion. There's no temptation that has taken you that's not common to men. Peter faced the same things for checking in with the Gentiles but everything was well later on (Acts 11:1-18). He who gave the vision will defend Himself before men when you're challenged. Summarily, what God has cleansed, don't call common. Stop regarding or knowing people in the flesh when God sees them differently, even as befitting people for you.
PRAYER: Lord, I submit to Your will. What you have cleansed (by way of preparation), I will not call common or regard as impossible.
