Mircales through faith

Acts 14:7-10

“And there they preached the gospel. And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.”

Let us conclude our meditation on the passage that we began with yesterday, talking about three things that you can do to receive a miracle through faith. Firstly, I said you must be where you can hear the gospel preached

or taught. 

The way you know this, which is the second thing is: does it produce faith in your heart? This is because what results from hearing the gospel is faith to receive.

The third thing the man did was that he acted on the command of Paul when he told him to stand up straight. In other words he acted out his faith. These three things are interwoven. 

That is, the proof that the gospel was preached to you is that faith is born in your heart. 

And the proof that you have faith is that you will act it out, for without corresponding actions, faith is dead. 

If this was enough to make a man who had never walked all his life to walk, then it is enough to deliver whatsoever you desire into your bosom.
