SILVER AND GOLD

What price can be put on healing, be-loved? Healing is a priceless gift as is salvation and the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There is a story in the 3rd chapter of Acts about a man lame from birth. Every day he was layed at the gate beautiful to ask alms of those who entered the temple. This was his place of business, his job to beg for daily wages. Jesus had passed by him many times and never offered to heal him, yet after the Holy Spirit came upon Peter and John they were going to the temple at the hour of prayer and the lame man begged alms of them. I will paraphrase. Listen up fellow, get you eyes and mind off your job. Stop begging for a minute and look on us. We don't have any money for you, but we have something worth far more. We will give you what we have and it will change your life forever. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. Peter reached down his hand and lifted the man to his feet in faith never doubting and the man's ankle bones received strength and he not only rose up and walked as he was commanded but rose up leaping and walking and went with them into the temple praising God. That was probably the first time the man had ever attended a prayer service in the temple and he went leaping and walking. A restored healed man who could now work and never again beg for his daily bread. Notice how God always over answers prayer? Saints of God, silver and gold have I none but such as I have I give to you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth rise up and be healed and delivered from the bondage of illness in our body receive the healing Jesus and go leaping and walking and praising into the house of prayer God bless, Linda.
