So the man gave him his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said: Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk. (Acts 3:5-6). The crippled man asked for money, but Peter gave him something better - the use of his legs. We often ask God to solve a small problem, but he wants to give us a whole new life & help for all our problems. When we ask God for help, He may say: I have got something even better for you. Ask God for what you want, but don't be surprised when He gives you what you really need. Peter & John had no money to give the crippled man, but they had Jesus. They had the gifts of healing, the gift of faith & the gift of working out miracles. So they gave out what God had given them & the crippled man was healed instantly. The man's feet & ankles became strong, & he jumped to his feet & began to walk. God was glorified. Many people received salvation. This great miracle influenced them to convert to Christ. Brothers & sisters, do not let the lack of money limit you from doing the works of God's mercy & exploits for Him. God has given you gifts, talents & abilities. Use them to serve others. Do so in love, humility, simplicity, & unto the glory of God. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father I thank you for Jesus. Thank you for hearing & answering my prayers always & speedily. Many of us your children, do not have silver & gold in abundance. But you have given us gifts, talents & abilities. Rekindle all these gifts & abilities so that we use them in your Kingdom to strengthen your Church & to win souls for You. Your Word says: He who wins souls is wise. I take it that if we do not win souls we become unwise before you. We want to be full of faith, full of the Holy Spirit, full of wisdom, & full of God's grace & power. Help us to be true to God & to have lives which inspire others to get saved. Remove all our limitations & give us the grace to tap into Your supernatural & unlimited grace. Release to your church a spirit of revelation. Let your REAL power be manifested wherever your Gospel is being preached. I believe with all my heart without any slightest doubt that power belongs to the Lord our God. Wisdom belongs to the Lord our God. Help us to preach Your Word with clarity & balance. Enable your church worldwide to go back to the BASICS. Help us to present a SIMPLE Gospel. As we have prayed, assign your angels to minister to our needs. In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen. God bless you all.
This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds & write them on their hearts. I will be their God, & they will be My people. No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying: Know the Lord, because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest. (Hebrews 8:10-11). If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
