Acts 3:1-9
"Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, 'Look at us'. So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, 'Silver and gold I do not have, but WHAT I DO HAVE, I GIVE TO YOU. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.' And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them- walking, leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him."
What did Peter and John have to give? In this instance, Peter and John HAD a gift of faith from God which enabled them to provide to the lame man a supernatural answer superseding what natural men could provide- perfect bodily soundness. Peter and John received a revelation accompanied by the anointing of the Holy Spirit to bring forth victory! When we HAVE what Peter and John HAD, it is the awesome arm of God rightly ordering issues on earth- sometimes to us for others; sometimes to others for us; sometimes to us for us. It is the inspiration of the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.
"I will open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it." The truth He shares with us is so rich we have to tell others. The anointing He provided Peter and John had to be distributed to the lame man. As we experience the fullness of who He is, He will show us how to distribute what we now HAVE!
