The positioning of God
Acts 10: 9
“About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.”

Garry Kasparov, Robert Fischer and Anatoly Karpov are the only chess players I have heard of but they were the masters of it. Apparently one of the keys of chess is not to move the same piece twice in the first 7 moves as this wastes time. I need to remember that for my next game.
What I have come to know is that God is the master chess player! Let me explain …
About noon (at the time of prayer)
Peter was climbing the steps to the roof of the house to pray.
And at the same time Cornelius’ men were entering the city.
God had got it all set up for revelation and then salvation.
He had positioned all the pieces on the chess board accurately.
Friends, He has moved upon you and though you and He has moved you into the place you are in today. And equally He has moved others on the board of life to interact with you, to cross your paths, to engage in your journey.
You may wonder at where you are and what you are doing. But do not worry for today there is one higher than you who He is control of the board. He knows what He is doing.

Too much detail

I’ve just seen I have posted ‘Detail’ 5 times! Sorry about this! However, sometimes you need to repeat yourself for the person to fully understand you. ‘I’ve told you once and I am not going to repeat myself’ may result in you not getting what you need. There’s a lesson in everything!
From tomorrow I am overseas for 3 weeks so dependent on the Internet will determine when I can post a blog. But keep looking out as I will do my best.

Detail
Acts 10:8
“He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.”

Tell people the detail if you want them to journey for and with you.
People will work for you if they understand fully your story and why it is you are asking them for help.
Summaries are not enough.
Detail is everything.
You may by your position be able to tell people what to do. However, knowledge of why they are doing something is as important as doing it, for the why will motivate them even when it proves challenging.

When the new season comes
Acts 10:7
“When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants.”

It is when it’s the lights have gone out that it really matters. When the voice stops and God goes quiet what happens next?
It is easy to be a follower when God is obviously with us and he is continually speaking. It is more difficult when He seems distant.
Cornelius began to do what He had been asked to do.
He chose 2 servants and one of his attendants who like Cornelius had a spiritual life trying to follow our God with a desire for Him.
Whatever God has said then at some point He is going to back off and allow you the space to do what He has said.
At that point you will need begin to make some wise choices based in what is needed to be done. God tells you what to do and you have to decide how to do it or who you will choose for your team. That’s partnership.
