We must not deny the power and authority He's granted us. We must not deny the holy lifestyle He's called us to. When we confess Him before men THE BLIND RECEIVE THEIR SIGHT, AND THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, AND THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED UP, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. "And blessed is he who shall not be offended in me" 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. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up; and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 

The crippled man did not need money, he needed to be healed, and we, dear saints, carry with us wherever we go - the healer of the sick, lame and broken in body and heart of this world. If we confess Him before men they will be saved, healed and delivered.  There is no other way but to " love thy neighbor as thyself".

Tell me, when you are hurting in anyway,  do you not attend to your pain? We must love others at least as much, if not more than, we love ourselves.  Attend to the pain of others, as many as God leads you to. Churches have taught us to give money when we should be giving Christ.  Give Christ and watch them "rise up and walk". Watch their eyes of understanding open and watch them be given "ears that they might hear". Watch the love of God shed abroad in your heart work wonders among them. Watch them walk and leap and praise God win you. And after you have confessed Christ before men to be their healer, you must confess Him as their savior,  as Peter does in Acts 3:11-26 "Repent ye therefore and be converted,  that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ,  which before was preached to you.

Yet notice the reaction of the religious leadership- those who presented themselves before men as God's appointed representatives,  to the demonstration and preaching of the Gospel- "And as they spake with the people,  the priests and the captain of the temple (today's equivalent would be the pastor) and the Sadducees, came upon them, being grieved that they taught the people ( in today's "temples", or as we call them - churches", leadership still gets very upset if anyone they don't approve of and give permission to,  teaches the people, especially Apostles. Apostles are forbidden to teachb in 99% of all churches on earth today) and preached through Jesus  the ressurecection of the dead. Churches will preach this, but only as a future mass event, not for individuals here and now. They will not demonstrate and live the resurrected life JESUS died to give us. It's always a past or future event to them, never a present blessing.  This leadership took the Apostles,  the leadership approved by God, whom He had used to heal a lame man, (a man they had passed by many times and had only given alms to), and more importantly,  whom God had used to cause about 5000 men with lame faith to believe, and they threw them in jail. This, my brethren, is the typical reaction of leadership instituted by man when confronted with leadership set in place by God. For they ever want to maintain their grip on power. It will be this way till Christ returns, of a truth.
