We must invest our time in prayer and meditation on what the Scriptures reveal about God the Father and His Son. We must not put this off, for knowing who the God of our fathers in faith is will help us escape the devil's cunning schemes (Ephesians 6:11). We will be victorious if we learn the secret to winning every battle in the Name of Jesus. In Him there is power!

That Name enabled Peter to heal the paralytic at the Beautiful Gate, as he himself explained to the people who thought that the power to heal was his. The apostle clarified: And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. (Acts 3:16). Faith in Christ can give you victory in any circumstance.

The person who puts their trust in the Lord is freed from illnesses that, according to the best specialists, had no solution. This faith can even bring back from the dead those whose death has been confirmed, like Lazarus, who had been buried for four days (John 11). God works all things in all people (1 Corinthians 12:6). However, after receiving the blessing, the individual needs to get right with God and persevere in believing in Him in order to live well.  

The Lord Jesus gave us examples of what the faith that dwelt in Him can do for us, if it dwells in our hearts as well. Nothing can prevent us from using His Name against the enemy's schemes (Matthew 10:1). Why not use the opportunity given by the Savior to take possession of everything that belongs to us in Him? Set out to obtain victory right now!

Peter took advantage of the curiosity of the people who witnessed the healing of the paralytic at the Beautiful Gate to proclaim salvation in Christ. It is interesting to note that the apostle told the beggar that he had no gold or silver to give him. If Peter had given him money, the healing might not have taken place. However, he lived by faith, and at that moment, his wealth was the knowledge of the Name of Jesus.

The apostle was not afraid to accuse the people who asked for the release of a murderer, Barabbas, so that the Master would be killed. But Jesus came precisely to die in our place, so that we might be forgiven and redeemed from the fall. We preach the Gospel, as directed by God, not merely because we want to heal everyone. Those who believe in Christ and accept Him as Savior and Lord receive forgiveness of their sins and can be healed.

I have been doing exactly what everyone has seen in the services we hold throughout the country and in other nations for over 50 years. To this day, there has not been a single meeting in which the power of the Most High has not performed wonders among us. Come and experience it!
