TEXT: 2Chronicles 7:l 1-1 2, 15-16 (AMPC) Acts l14:7-1 0 (AMPC)
KEY VERSE: Acts 14:9 (AMPC), “He was listening to Paul as he talked, and [Paul]
Ogzing intently at him and observing that he had faith to be healed, shouted at him, sayíng, ‘Stand erect on your feet!’ And he leaped up and walked.” your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself… Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. For I have chosen and sanctified (set apart for holy use) this house, that My Name may be here forever, and My eyes and My heart will be here perpetually.
INTRODUCTION:
in Acts 14:7-10, we witness a powerful demonstration of faith resulting in miraculous healing. This study explores the importance of faith for achieving great exploits and experiencing divine testimonies in our lives.
Study:
- Divine Testimonies Through Faith:
- Hebrews 11:2 emphasizes that by faith, the men of old obtained divine testimony and a good report. Faith in Christ births trust and holy fervor, enabling believers fo experience miraculous interventions and divine testimonies.
- Faith through the Gospel of Christ:
Romans 10:17 teaches that faith comes from hearing the Good News about Christ. As believers immerse themselves in the Gospel, faith is stirred up and
activated, empowering them to believe in the impossible. - Focus and Avoiding Distractions:
- It is essential to maintain focus and avoid distractions when studying or listening to the Gospel of Christ. Distractions hinder the reception of faith and can
impede the manifestation of God’s power and promises in our lives.
- Seizing the Opportunity of Faith:
- Like the man in Acts 14:9 who had never walked, as we listen intently to the Gospel, faith is birthed in our hearts for victory over every situation. Our faith in Christ gives us the capacity to receive miracles and accomplish what was
previously deemed impossible.
Conclusion:
As believers, we are called to walk in faith and expect great exploits and testimonies in our lives. Let us immerse ourselves in the Gospel,maintain focus, and boldly declare our faith, seizing every opportunity to release the faith of Christ and witness His miraculous power at work in Our lives.
