Yo, good morning. God is good. God is great.
Hope everybody staying blessed, focused, highly
favored. We back with another one. God is good.
We're gonna be reading out of Acts chapter three
today, and God got a blessing for us. Hope everybody
keeping a smile on their face, taking one day
at a time. Let's win every day. keep a smile
on your face. If y 'all bow y 'all heads, we
gon' pray, then we gon' get into the daily reader,
then I got a good word I'ma read out of Acts
chapter three. We probably gonna read probably
two to three chapters. Amen, God is good. If
y 'all bow y 'all heads. Our Father, which art
in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom
come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread and forgive
us our debts as we forgive our debtors and lead
us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom the power the glory
forever amen amen god is good god is great I'm
getting to the daily reader, man. The daily reader
is something I read every morning. It's a daily
devotion you gotta read every morning, and then
you read the scriptures after and put it together.
Amen, God is good. As it reads, come to me and
rest in my peace. My face is shining upon you
in rays of peace, transcending understanding.
Instead of trying to figure things out yourself,
you can relax in the presence of the one who
knows everything. As you lean on me in trusting
dependence, you feel peaceful and complete. This
is how I designed you to live, in close communion
with me. When you are around other people, you
tend to cater to their expectations, real or
imagined. You feel enslaved to pleasing them,
and your awareness of my presence grows dim.
Your efforts to win their approval eventually
exhaust you. You offer these people dry crumbs
rather than the living water of my spirit flowing
through you. This is not my way for you. Stay
in touch with me, even during your busiest moments.
Let my spirit give you words of grace as you
live in the light of my peace. Let God's spirit
give you words of grace as you live in the light
of God's peace. Amen. And God is saying, stay
in the presence of God. We gotta stay in the
present. We gotta stay in the present time. We
can't worry about the future. We can't worry
about the past. You gotta stay in your now. Amen.
Now we're gonna read us some scriptures. In the
first scripture we're gonna read is John chapter
7 verse 38. God is good. John chapter 7 verse
38 reads, He that believeth on me as the scripture
has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers
of living water. He that believeth on me as the
scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow
rivers of living water. God is telling us when
we put our trust in God, all our trust in God,
We can't fail. Everything that comes out of us,
everything that we do, will be greatly blessed,
will be turned to gold. Amen. The next scripture
we're gonna be reading is Matthew chapter 13
verse 46. Amen. Hope everybody keeping the head
up, man. Staying positive, staying righteous.
God is good. Every day wake up and put your foot
forward. We're going into the week great. We're
going into the week blessed. We're going into
the week highly favored. We ain't having no negativity.
Amen. We're gonna be positive. Positive outgains
negative at all times. Matthew chapter 13 verse
46. Who when he had found one pearl of great
price went and sold all that he had and bought
it. Amen. again the kingdom of heaven is like
unto a merchant man seeking goodly pearls who
when he had found one pearl of great price went
and sold all that he had and brought it amen
to the kingdom of God giving your all to the
kingdom of God and that's what we gonna read
about in Acts 2 is when we bring when we bringing
our blessings to God we gotta come fully with
it we gotta come fully with it And not saying
that you're gonna be perfect because it's gonna
be times where you feel like you ain't doing
enough But I'm telling you keep going keep going.
We don't suffer a tongue Amen. God is good. We're
gonna get it to X. Let's go ahead and get into
X X chapter 3 We're gonna read 3 through 6 God
is good. Keep God first in everything that you
do. You can't fail. And what we're gonna be reading
in Acts, the first in John chapter, I mean in
Acts chapter three, the start that we're gonna
be reading is gonna be a blessing to a lot of
people. And I say this because we gonna understand
how God's blessings work through faith, through
faith, through faith. Amen. He was a lame man.
He was born a lame. And he went past Peter and
John and he asked them for money. And they said,
no, I don't got no money, but I got God, I got
faith. I got something better than money amen
and the lame man was healed off his faith amen
and we're gonna start at verse one chapter three
a lame man was healed now peter and john went
up together into the temple at the hour of prayer
being the ninth hour and a certain man laying
from his mother's womb was carried whom they
laid daily at the at the gate of the temple which
is called beautiful to ask Ames of them that
entered into the temple, who seen Peter and John
about to go into the temple, asked in Ames, and
Peter fastening his eyes upon him, and John said,
Look on us, and he gave heed unto them, expecting
to receive something of them. Then Peter 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. Amen, in the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.
He told him in God's name when you choose God
get up walk go You can win and he took him by
the right hand and lifted him up and immediately
his feet and ankle bones received strength and
He leaping up stood and walked and entered into
them into the temple walking and leaping and
praising God And all the people saw him walking
and praising God. And they knew that it was the
witch sat for aims at the beautiful gate of their
temple. And they knew who it was already. So
the people was already looking. They already
knew the lame man. They seen him every day because
he would go to the temple every day. And they
knew that it was the witch sat for aims at the
beautiful gate of the temple. And they were filled
with wonder and amazement at that which had happened
unto him. And as we read on, you're going to
see where Peter and John tell the people, why
are y 'all surprised by this? Because it ain't
not us. Because the people was looking at Peter
and James like they had did it. And they tell
the people, no, Jesus Christ, this was all his
work. Peter admonishes the onlookers, and as
the lame man which was healed held Peter and
John, and all the people ran together unto them
in the porch that is called Solomon's Greatly
Wondering. And when Peter saw it, he answered
unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel
ye at this? Or why look ye so earnestly on us,
as though by our own power or holiness we had
made this man to walk? The God of Abraham and
of Isaac and of Jacob and the God of of our fathers
has glorified his son Jesus whom ye delivered
up and denied him in the presence of pellet when
he was determined to let him go but ye denied
the holy one and that just and desired a murderer
to be granted unto you and killed the prince
of life whom God has raised from the dead thereof
we are witnesses And his name, through faith
in his name, has made this man strong, whom ye
see and know. Yea, the faith which is by him
has given him this perfect soundness in the presence
of you all. And now, brethren, I want that through
ignorance ye did as did also your rulers. I know
and now brother and I know that through ignorance
he did and as did also your rulers and that those
things was God before had showed by the mouth
of all his prophets that Christ should suffer
he has so fulfilled so the lame man was suffering
the lame man was begging for money and God healed
him and brought him up repent ye therefore and
be converted that your sins may be blotted out
when the times of refreshment shall come from
the presence of the Lord and he shall send Jesus
Christ which before was preached unto you whom
the heaven must receive until the times of restitution
of all things which God has spoken by the mouth
of all his holy prophets since the world began
restoration whom the heaven must receive until
the times of restoration of all things which
God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets
since the world began and God gonna send them
prophets For Mosley truly said unto the fathers,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto
you of your brethren. Like unto me, him shall
ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say
unto you. And it shall come to pass that every
soul which will not hear that prophet shall be
destroyed from among the people. Yeah, and all
the prophets from Samuel and those that follow
after, as many as have spoken, have likewise
foretold of these days. Ye are the children of
the prophets and of the covenant, which God made
with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, and in
thy sheaves shall all the kindreds of the earth
be blessed. Unto you, first God, having raised
up his son Jesus, sent him to bless you, and
turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
Peter and John are arrested and Peter and John
get arrested for speaking God's words as we see
and as they spoke unto the people the priest
and the captains of the temple and the Sadducees
came upon them being grieved that they taught
the people and preached through Jesus the resurrection
from the dead and They laid hands on them and
put them in hold unto the next day for it was
now eventu For it was now eventu It was now evening
How about many of them which heard the word believed
and the number of the man was about five thousand
Peter's sermon to the council so Peter go talk
to the council and it came to pass on the marrow
that their rulers and elders and scribes and
Enos the hot priest and Cephas and John and Alexander
and as many as were the kindred of the hot priests
were gathered together at Jerusalem and when
they had set them in the midst they asked by
what power about what name have you done this
Then Peter filled with the Holy Ghost and said
unto them ye rulers of the people and elders
of Israel If we this day be examined of the good
deed done to the impotent man By what means he
is made whole be it known unto you all and to
all the people of Israel That by the name of
Jesus Christ of Nazareth whom you crucified whom
God raised from the dead Even by him does this
man stand here before you whole this is the stone
which was set at nought of you of you builders
which has become the head of the corner neither
is there salvation in any other for there is
none other name under heaven given among men
whereby we must be saved now when they saw the
boldness of peter and john and perceived that
they were unlearned and ignorant men they marveled
and they took knowledge of them that they had
been with jesus and beholding the man which was
healed standing with them they could say nothing
against it but when they had commanded them to
go aside out of the council they conferred among
themselves saying what shall we do to these men
for that indeed a notable miracle has been done
by them is manifest to all men that dwell in
jerusalem and we cannot deny it so they was trying
to and i made a post about this earlier i said
man this is like this is what they do in the
world today people would try to put you down
and silence you When they know you, you speak
in the word of God. When they know it's righteous,
when they know it's good. And we can't worry
about that because the goodness of God will prevail.
But that is spread no further among the people.
Let us straightly threaten them that they speak
henceforth to no man in his name. And you will
get threatened. You will get threatened. You
will get put down. They gonna try to stir you
the wrong way. Keep going. Stay positive. Let
your light shine. as a person. When you step
into the world, show them that God is real. Peter
and John must speak. And then they called them
and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach
in the name of Jesus. And Peter, John answered
and said unto them, whether it be right in the
sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto
God, judge ye, for we cannot but speak the things
which we have seen and heard. so when they had
further threatened them they let them go finding
nothing how they might punish them because of
the people for all men glorified God for that
which was done for the man was about 40 years
old whom this miracle of healing was showed a
prayer for boldness in being let go They went
to their own company and reported all that the
chief priests and elders had said unto them.
And when they heard that they lifted up their
voice to God with one accord and said, Lord,
thou art God, which has made heaven and earth
and the sea, and all that them is, who by the
mouth of thy servant David has said, why did
the heathen rage and the people imagine vain
things? the kings of the earth stood up and the
rulers were gathered together against the lord
and against the christ for of truth against thy
holy child jesus whom thou has anointed both
herod and point and polyth with the gentiles
and the people of israel were gathered together
for to do whatsoever thy hand and thy council
determined before to be done and now lord behold
thy threatenings and grant unto thy servants
that with all boldness they may speak thy word
by stretching forth thy hand to heal and that
signs and wonders may be done by the name of
the holy child Jesus and when they had prayed
the place that was shaken where they were assembled
together and they were all filled with the holy
ghost
