Acts 3:6,7 “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.”

Beloved,

Do not relent in doing good.

Laying on the floor with your face against the ground and your hands spread out in humble admiration, you say, “Come Lord Jesus.” In that moment, your heart is opened up and the Holy Spirit sings a song. It is the welcome song to the Son of God Jesus Christ, that He is welcome in your heart. Simple are the words you spoke, for in them are the entire length, width, depth, and height of the Kingdom of God. Your heart contains the fullness of God and everything else is cleared out. In your chest, the heart becomes a resting place for the Holy.

Peter gained this insight as he entered the Gate called Beautiful. What better place to display God’s love, and in the midst of the people that may see and be encouraged that God is in them and with them. You are charged by the Lord to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. In doing so, all these things, the Kingdom of God is added to your life. You are transformed, yes truly changed into light that knows no darkness. This reservoir within your soul captures the run off of a mighty river that flows from His throne. It is filled with life and the power to heal. It is the life blood of our God Jesus, who gave everything in that moment on Calvary.

We are to love one another as Christ loves. Unable to accomplish this task in the physical, the Holy takes up residence within your heart. You are sanctified and made pure in His sight to take the task of loving without hindrance or obstacle in your way, for your path has been made smooth and the crooked has been made straight. Beloved, you are without excuse in these days of Christ living inside you. You are not your own any longer, but belong to the Lord who guides you through His Holy Spirit. You are touched with Heaven’s demand to heal the sick, cast out demons, and to raise the dead to life.

Though your physical eyes may not see clearly the healing that has been accomplished, the eyes of the Lord sees all things. He sees the cripple through Peter’s eyes and takes his heart speaking to him, “Heal that one!” And he did, speaking words that are not his own, but manifested within the furnace in his heart, where true fire burns. We are glorious creatures birthed from dirt, but breathed into by the breath of God. We cannot hold back the Kingdom of God to an earth that is perishing. We carry the breath of God, and cannot delay its exhale. Those that are suffering, whether from sickness, injury, mental incapacity, emotional well being, or unconscious deserve your touch, your breath and God’s words.

To Him who is worthy, we give all praise and worship. Our lives are his, and He is ours. Let it all be for His Glory.
