Reading Acts 3….
The lame man had been lame since birth….
Peter and John walked by as he was begging….
“ silver and gold have we none, but what we have we will give you”

What did they have ? JESUS CHRIST, and all that comes with and in
JESUS CHRIST……and they reached down to the man…..
and pulled him up. ( truths in that by itself )
INSTANTLY he was healed….

The people watching him beg his whole life…. and “here it goes”

vs. 8
“ Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping,
and praising GOD. “

a. ever have so much praise in JESUS CHRIST that you had to
run and jump ? seriously ? when was the last time ?

b. vs 9 ….” WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE SAW HIM WALKING AND PRAISING GOD “

You can not deny healing….like this …NOT BEING OF GOD…
You can not argue, you can not have an opinion ….. you are in AWE
of JESUS…and the MAN…..took his praise STRAIGHT TO JESUS..amen.

c. vs. 11 “the man held ONTO PETER AND JOHN”
. HE didn’t get healed and leave Who had healed him….

d. Then Peter and John took it to….the men that were amazed..
“ this is not by our own power, but by the power of The God of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…..JESUS CHRIST, ( you know, the ones
you handed over to Pilate to be crucified )

You killed Him, but we witnessed , we WITNESSED ,
GOD Raising HIM from the dead …

** that is what Peter and John had,
they actually witness of God’s power….
raising from death to life…..
so “ raising a lame man from the ground to walking ?”

Then they showed compassion and go into
HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES THEM
and that THEY TOO, THEY TOO, can have what they have….
JESUS CHRIST IN THEM…

vs. 19 of Acts 3 – “ Repent, then and turn to GOD, so that your
sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come FROM
THE LORD, and that HE may send The Christ , who has been appointed
FOR YOU – even JESUS “

This is it…. close the book, this is it…ALL in a nut shell….
This is what we live in, live for,
To HAVE all that we HAVE in JESUS CHRIST…

Salvation ~ JESUS CHRIST
Healing ~ JESUS CHRIST
PEACE ~ JESUS CHRIST
and “REACH OUT” and give ALL THAT WE HAVE…..
and take it all to JESUS
and take it all to GOD
and with out a doubt, they will have “refreshing “

today, OH GOD, empower us….let us be hungry….
let us be hungry….to give YOU….so that others
will be REFRESHED…..in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST amen.
