Acts 4:7-10
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,…
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

The realisation by the disciples, that they can ACT IN JESUS NAME AND PERFORM MIRACLES IN HIS NAME is such a beautiful scene to behold.

Peter and John, walking hurriedly to afternoon prayer meeting were stopped by the crippled man at the ‘beautiful’ gate. “Help, help”, the crippled man begged, “Anything for the boys?”. Then Peter gazing at him 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.

The man got up and walked for the first time since birth. There was excitement among the people and pandemonium among the rulers. But the disciples had finally come to the realization concerning the power they possessed IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

No more hiding and lying. Jesus has ascended on high and has left us here in His stead. All the power and authority he possessed, he handed over unto us. RISE UP TODAY, LIKE THE WAY PETER AND JOHN DID AT THAT ‘BEAUTIFUL’ GATE, AND TAKE YOUR PLACE IN HIS NAME. DON’T BE AFRAID – YOU’VE GOT THE POWER. Your week will be beautiful in Jesus name. Amen.
