Which Would You Choose?

Acts 3:2 "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 of them that entered into the temple; Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: 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."

This post is a continuation of the "Silver and Gold" post that I wrote several weeks ago. The referenced scripture, Acts 3:2, tells us about the lame man who begged for money while sitting at the temple gate. The bible tells us that the man was lame from birth and "Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. " My question to you READER, which would you rather have, the money or the ability to walk? I would rather have the ability the walk, in Jesus name. Today we have many that are in need of spiritual healing of various infirmities and sickness, diseases, demonic oppression and yes possession. However there are few with the ability to administer super natural healing from God, our Father. Churches will ask for you to give, give, give, give in Jesus name but how many are able to heal in The Name of Jesus? Pastors will tell you, "well that was during the time of Jesus or the ministration of healing is no longer prevalent in todays church" or hear's one "they didn't have the medical knowledge during Jesus's day that we have today, understand" yea whatever! The bible tells us that "These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.” This is really tough. Do you believe? Have you cast out any devils in Jesus' name lately? Is your tongue brand new? Have you done battle with any serpents lately? The serpent, you know, is that old Satan himself. We must remember that "greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world". If you are truly a follower of Jesus, (a Christian), He will protect you from the enemy. Notice, I didn't say we had the power; I said Jesus has the power. We just use His power. He lets us use His name, if we are His. One more question. How many sick have you laid hands on lately? These signs shall follow them that believe. Examining these Scriptures one by one shows us quickly where we fall short, doesn't it? Again I ask, which would you rather have, money or deliverance from sin, sickness and or disease.
