When God Interrupts Your Plans | Acts 10, Cornelius & the Holy Spirit Falls

Pastor Robert Tisdale preaches at Tampa Life Church about a “special season of visitation” and God’s interruptions, sharing a personal moment of sensing God’s presence at home and a past struggle with seeking angelic encounters before choosing to pursue Jesus instead. He celebrates the church’s recent growth, citing over 100 baptisms and many filled with the Holy Spirit, and urges the congregation to steward what God is doing rather than spectate. Using Acts 10, he highlights how God prepared both Cornelius and Peter, then poured out the Holy Ghost on Gentiles “while Peter yet spake,” showing God is not confined to human tradition, timing, or process. He teaches that the Spirit falls on surrendered faith, is confirmed audibly (speaking in tongues), confronts bias and control, and calls people to pre-commit to respond when the Spirit moves.00:00 Marked By Presence00:24 Angel In The House01:48 Chasing Angel Sightings05:15 Genesis Reality Check06:38 Visitation And Baptisms07:48 God Interrupts Plans11:09 Cornelius And Peter Setup14:56 Holy Ghost Falls Mid Sermon20:19 God Breaks The Pattern22:19 Who Gets The Spirit23:47 Breaking Shame Barriers24:09 God Bypasses the System25:04 Faith Changes in a Moment26:53 Whosoever Believes28:18 Tongues as Evidence30:08 Why God Makes It Public35:04 Shattering Religious Boxes37:49 Make Room for God41:43 Surrender the Need to Explain44:18 The Veto Window47:40 Pre Commitment Response48:14 Altar Call Breakthrough
