When God cleanses something, He declares or pronounces it clean! Once you let God in control and He leads you somewhere by his will, that thing that He leads you to will never be impure or wrong. Here in Acts 10, God is telling Peter that Gentiles are just as clean as that of a Jew. He's basically showing him that it's okay to interact with them or to come in contact with those people because God himself has cleansed them.
Many times we as Christians get confused on what is pure and impure; what is holy and unholy; what is wrong and what is right; but, here in Acts, God is showing to Peter that anything He leads you to is pure. The problem with many of us is that we think God has led us somewhere, when in reality, we chose ourselves to be placed there in the middle of those people or in the middle of that mess! As long as God's in it and instructs us to that place, we will do no wrong.
One major thing I noticed while reading these scriptures was that, when God spoke, they listened and obeyed. They didn't say I will do it later, or I'll do that when I get my life straightened out. They moved on what God said immediately. If you know that God is working in your life and trying to move in an area of your life, I urge you to just trust and obey. God's word will never return void!!
