BE SPIRITUALLY ALERT ALWAYS

NOVEMBER 6, 2025

While Peter thought on the vision, the

Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men

seek thee (Acts 10:19).

As a Christian, you must always be spiritually

alert. Otherwise, you may not recognise divine

promptings, and you may struggle to discern the voice of

the Spirit. A vital part of soul winning is being led by the

Holy Spirit, and for that, your spirit must be sensitive.

In Acts 10, we see a beautiful example with Peter.

He had gone upstairs to pray, and while praying, he fell

into a trance and saw a vision from heaven: a great sheet

lowered with all kinds of unclean animals. Then, a voice

said to him, "...Peter, kill and eat" (Acts 10:13 AMPC).

This happened three times.

Clearly, the Lord was trying to get Peter’s attention for

the salvation of Cornelius, a Roman Centurion, who at the

time had already sent three of his servants to fetch Peter.

Then the Bible says in verses 17-20, “Now while Peter

doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen

should mean, behold, the men which were sent from

Cornelius...stood before the gate, and called....While

Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him,

Behold, three men seek thee. Arise therefore, and get

thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I

have sent them."

The Holy Spirit gave clear direction and instructions to

Peter such that he didn't need to second-guess. But notice

that Peter was in prayer while this happened. As a result,

Cornelius, a Roman centurion, and his entire household

received salvation and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. What

if Peter hadn't responded? What if he had hesitated?

When your spirit is sensitive and active through prayer,

meditation on the Word, and walking in fellowship with the

Holy Spirit, it’s easier to recognise and respond to the Holy

Spirit’s guidance.

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for the inspiration through your

Word and the Spirit. I’m spiritually alert and responsive to

your guidance. I function beyond the senses. I recognise

your voice and follow your instructions without doubt

or delay. I’m a soul winner, led by your Spirit always, in

Jesus’ Name. Amen.
