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.”
I want to share with you today three keys to
receiving a miracle through faith from the story in our text for today.
We see in it a man who has been a cripple from his mother’s womb got up
instantly whole and walked away not because of the great
Apostle Paul but because he the cripple man had faith to be healed.
I can hear someone protesting that I have
not related accurately what happened. But you read the text again and you will
see what I am pointing out to you. Let me point out the three things the man
did that gave him the miracle.
Firstly, he was at a place where the
gospel was being preached and he heard the gospel. What did he hear? The
Gospel! And what is the gospel? It is the power of God unto salvation or the
power of God that brings salvation. The word salvation means deliverance, wholeness,
soundness of mind,etc. This is what the man heard Paul preach.
