Acts 3 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Acts 3.

Meditate on verse 9-10

And all the people saw him walking and praising God;

 and they were taking note of him as being the one

 who used to sit at the beautiful gate of the temple to beg alms,

 and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Jesus’ church had begun, and a miracle of healing took place. A beggar who had never walked a day in his life was healed in the name of Jesus Christ. His feet and ankles were immediately strengthened, and he entered the temple walking and leaping and praising God.

This physical healing is a picture of the spiritual healing that takes place in every Christian’s life. Before Jesus, you were incapable of walking a day of your life with God. Once you were saved in the name of Jesus Christ, the rest of your life is spent walking with Christ praising God. People notice that before Christ you were a spiritual beggar. But, because of what Jesus did and is doing in you, people are amazed and filled with wonder.

Does Acts 3:1-12 describe you? If not, then, “Repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the LORD; and that He may send Jesus, the Christ appointed for you”(Acts 3:19-20).

Pray Acts 3:19 and 26 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please cause ___________ to repent and return,

so their sins may be wiped away,

 in order that times of refreshing may come from Your presence.

God, thank You for raising Jesus and sending Him

to bless us by turning every one of us from our wicked ways.

In Your name, Jesus~”
