Peter and John went into the temple at three in the afternoon. A certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was being carried, whom they laid daily at the door of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, he expected them to give him alms. Peter, fastening his eyes on him, with John, said, "Look at us." He listened to them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, "Silver and gold have I none, but what I have, that I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!" He took him by the right hand, and raised him up. Immediately his feet and his ankle bones received strength. Leaping up, he stood, and began to walk. He entered with them into the temple, walking, leaping, and praising God. All the people saw him walking and praising God. They recognized him, that it was he, who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. They were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
NOTES: This 40 year old man was lame from birth, but the power of God healed him and he could walk, leap and praise God. Your problem may be one that has been long standing but God can do a miracle for you even now. Call out to him and he will answer you.
