Miraculously Healed

 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old - Acts 4:22.

            Peter and John saw a lame man asking alms from those who entered the temple. They told him to rise up and walk in the name of Jesus. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God - Acts 3:6-8.

              The lame man was miraculously healed and the people who saw him walking and praising God were amazed. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him - Acts 3:9,10.

            Peter told the people that it is the name of Jesus and the faith that comes through the lame man had completely healed him. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see - Acts 3:16.  If you ask anything in my name, I will do it - John 14:14. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith - Matthew 21:22. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17.                                                        

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We have faith in Your powerful name. Heal us miraculously by Your name and by our faith. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
