Be healed

17 September  2012  

         

Acts 5:14-15 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women, so that they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and pallets, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.

In this report we find people being healed as the shadow of Peter fell on them as interesting, we may well ask was it the shadow that healed them. Was it Peter that healed them or was it the Holy Spirit that was so present in Peter that healed them, or was it that they believed that all they needed, was to be near a person filled with the Holy Spirit to be healed? All we know from this account is that people were healed when the shadow of Peter fell on them.

What this raises is the question about healing and the fact that most of the people wanting to be healed were just normal people who had at that stage almost no knowledge of Jesus Christ other than what they heard from others. They did not go to church as we know it, they were not baptised nor confirmed, they were just simply believing that God was moving through Peter.

Today are there not many people who are filled with the same Holy Spirit? Are there not many people who are in desperate need of healing? The reality is that if you do not believe and you have no faith in what you believe you are no better than any other heathen or unbeliever. Every person that is a true believer is gifted to bring healing to others through the name of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. By the way that’s you.

Be encouraged today to start believing God has gifted you with His Spirit.
