Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, when the Spirit said, "Listen! Three men are here looking for you.

The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six fellow believers from Joppa accompanied me to Caesarea, and we all went into the house of Cornelius.

While they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them."

Having been sent by the Holy Spirit, Barnabas and Saul went to Seleucia and sailed from there to the island of Cyprus.

They traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia because the Holy Spirit did not let them preach the message in the province of Asia.

When they reached the border of Mysia, they tried to go into the province of Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.

And now, in obedience to the Holy Spirit I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.

I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit has warned me that prison and troubles wait for me.

Even before they finish praying to me, I will answer their prayers.

Let us try to know the LORD. He will come to us as surely as the day dawns, as surely as the spring rains fall upon the earth."

But it is one and the same Spirit who does all this; as he wishes, he gives a different gift to each person.

The Spirit says clearly that some people will abandon the faith in later times; they will obey lying spirits and follow the teachings of demons.
