The Same Power

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." Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Acts 3:6-11

Okay....so notice Peter didn't say - oh let me pray for you. He didn't say, "Lord, touch and heal this man." No...he said what I have I give you..."In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk." He already had the ability to do it!

The same power that raise Christ from the dead - LIVES IN US!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you getting this???

I feel like I've been doing this all wrong. Yes, God is the one who heals but notice Jesus told them go out and heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead. When they did it they didn't say - Lord, heal this man's eyes - they said in the name of Jesus - eyes be opened. They took authority!

Where is our faith? The SAME POWER that raised Christ from the dead LIVES IN US!

WE MUST SPEAK LIFE INTO EVERY SITUATION. OUR WORDS ARE MORE POWERFUL THEN WE KNOW!

Oh, Lord....help my unbelief!
