Acts10,9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. 13 Then a voice told him, Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.
14 Surely not, Lord! Peter replied. I have never eaten anything impure or unclean. 15 The voice spoke to him a second time, Do not call anything impure that God has made clean. 16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven. 17 While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon's house was and stopped at the gate. 18 They called out, asking if Simon who was known as Peter was staying there. 19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, Simon, three men are looking for you. 20 So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them. 21 Peter went down and said to the men, I'm the one you're looking for. Why have you come? 22 The men replied, We have come from Cornelius the centurion. He is a righteous and God-fearing man, who is respected by all the Jewish people. A holy angel told him to have you come to his house so that he could hear what you have to say.
Peter is praying in noon-time / this is also the time, when the servants are already on their way.
Funny - Peter is hungry>Trance>Vision about the food
~Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.
~Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.
~This happened three times
~>God is good - 3times he shows Peter the vision - God really wants to make things clear!
<> then the hole timing of God becomes obvious - Just in the right time, God talks to Peter again. And the servants of the Centurion are at the door.
<> God is very clear in his command for Peter: So get up and go downstairs. Do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them.
<*> Peter is perfectly prepared for what the servants will say.
Do i believe, that God prepared my day - as he prepared the day of Peter? God wanted to save this Cornelius. Today, who does God want to save? Which way did God prepare today to meet me, so that i can save him?
I NEED TO BELIEVE!
