Manna Moments -- Healing the Lame

[Rev. Lyn Bell]

Acts 9:34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and roll up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.”

Good morning it is marvelous Monday! Regardless to how less you got done this weekend, do something great for God today! It’s a crisp for sure November day; we set our clocks back 1 hour on Sunday night and gained that hour. I can now ride early in the morning again as there is light at 6:30 am.

We are still meandering through the book of Acts and in chapter 9 with Peter (often called the hotheaded Apostle), being used of God mightily. As he traveled in Lydda he came upon a paralytic that had been in that state for eight years. Paralyzed for 8 years, that’s a long time. Peter simply spoke and declared that Christ heals you and told him to get up and take care of his mat. Immediately the man got up and everyone who saw and heard became a believer in Lydda and Sharon. Do we pray or command healing in Jesus name today. Do you think as a believer’s our power is less than that of Peter and others during those biblical times? It was simple; it didn’t take a group of intercessors tarrying all night for it to happen. Is our faith weaker? I do know that there is power in the name of Jesus! For Jesus says whatever we ask in his name shall be done (John 14:13)! To often we doubt God if things don’t happen, but I believe that when it’s in God’s will, it shall be done! How about you, are you praying in the power of Jesus’ name. Give me some feedback on modern day healing through God’s power. Be blessed sisters and brothers.
