What’s Your Next Step?

• Just because you don’t see a way it would turn   around at this stage doesn’t mean  it’s not already halfway turned. Notice what the Bible says. Verse 9: “About  noon the following day as they were on their   journey and approaching the city, Peter  went up on the roof to pray.” Y’all missed   it. Drop down to verse 17.
• “While Peter was  wondering about the meaning of the vision,   the men sent by Cornelius found  out where Simon’s house was…” When the angel came to Cornelius, he said,   “Go find a guy named Simon the tanner,  and when you get there in Joppa,   you’re going to ask for a man who used to be  called Simon but goes by the name Peter.” So,   the men get there.
• When? Verse 17: “While Peter  was wondering about the meaning of the vision…” In my prayer this morning, I saw  somebody who is wondering, “What   does this mean?” “Here I am single again.  What does this mean?” “Here I am going   back through this cycle again. I thought I  was through with it. What does this mean?” “My kids aren’t speaking to me.
• What does this  mean?” “I cannot get through this door because   of my employment record. What does this mean?”  “Here I am in a situation where I feel rejected.   Should I fall back now or is that a sign to  try harder? Is the fact that it hasn’t happened   yet a sign I’m doing the wrong thing and I  should try something else? Is the fact that   I’m struggling the way I’m getting stronger  or is it a sign that God is redirecting me?” While Peter is praying about all of this… Like,  you’ve been thinking about this and wondering,   “What does this mean that I’m going through  this? What does this mean that I’m anxious?
