Heavenly Worship


Acts 3:11-16 (The Message)
 ¹¹The man threw his arms around Peter and John, ecstatic. All the people ran up to where they were at Solomon's Porch to see it for themselves.

Turn to Face God

 ^12-16When Peter saw he had a congregation, he addressed the people:    "Oh, Israelites, why does this take you by such complete surprise, and why stare at us as if our power or piety made him walk? The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his Son Jesus. The very One that Pilate called innocent, you repudiated. You repudiated the Holy One, the Just One, and asked for a murderer in his place. You no sooner killed the Author of Life than God raised him from the dead—and we're the witnesses. Faith in Jesus' name put this man, whose condition you know so well, on his feet—yes, faith and nothing but faith put this man healed and whole right before your eyes.

For Reflection
OK, here's the question.  Does the Apostle have the power to heal or is he telling the literal truth, the man had such great faith that he was healed directly by God?

Pray
that your faith is as strong as that which allowed God's power to enter this man and heal his affliction.  Pray for a faith that allows the Spirit to enter and heal your soul.
