The Holy Ghost (Spirit) in Action – Deflecting the Glory - Scene 5 - Acts 3: 11-26
This week writing centres on the Apostle Peter response to the people's amazement of the healing of the lame man, and how he deflected the glory from himself to the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Bible says that the unnamed lame man which was miraculously healed through the power of the Holy Ghost, held Peter and John, and all the people ran together unto them (Peter, John and the Lame Man), greatly wondering of the miraculous act that had taken place. They have never experienced anything like this before, so this working of God brought great astonishment.
When the Apostle Peter saw this display of amazement by the people, he opened his mouth and spake forth these declarations:
• Ye Men of Israel
• Why marvel ye at this?
• Why look ye so earnestly on us?
• As though by our own power or holiness we have made this man to walk.
The Apostle Peter deflected the glory from John and himself and attributed the healing of this lame man to the power of God – The Holy Spirit in Action. Peter went on to describe to this group of amazed people that what they saw was a culmination of the plan of God for the benefit of all humanity. This started with the call of Abraham and concluded with the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh, who did mighty works in the earth, then died on Calvary for the sins of the world, and through faith in His name hath made this man strong.
Peter then made the clarion call to this astonished group for repentance, and conversion that their sins may be wiped out, that the times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you – even Jesus. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord our 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.
This same old fashioned message of repentance and conversion is still being preached at Meadowvale East Apostolic Church. The same Spirit of God in Action is still being experienced, that has enabled men and women everywhere to be freed from their sins and be filled with the only life giving power, the power of the Holy Ghost.
Come and experience The Holy Ghost in Action, Now!
God Bless You,
