Hello, thank you for joining me today, or give him 15.

And the title of today's post is,

Big Grace, Big Power, Big Miracles.

I will share thoughts today and tomorrow regarding healing and miracles

in preparation for the Healing Summit this Friday night in Middletown, Ohio.

In Friday's post, I'll share some thoughts or words from the leaders who are participating.

Today, Holy Spirit has drawn my focus to Acts 4.

The timing of this chapter is just after the healing of the lame man at the gate called Beautiful, Acts 3, 1 to 10.

Keep in mind, there were no chapter divisions when the scriptures were written.

The narrative of Acts 4 is a continuation of Acts chapter 3. All of Israel was aware of this man. Israelites traveled to Jerusalem

for the three major feasts. While there, no doubt, walked past him many times. As a result of this

astounding miracle, followed by Peter's preaching of the gospel, approximately 5,000 people

were saved just on that day.

The Jewish leaders who had rejected Christ were angry about these conversions, but couldn't

deny the reality of the miracle.

Their response was to threaten Peter and John, commanding them not to speak or teach in Christ's name.

The response of the believers was to pray.

In their prayer, they referred to Psalms 2, which speaks of rulers working together against the rule and cause of Christ.

He says, they quoted that Psalm, and you spoke by the Holy Spirit through your servant, David,

our forefather, saying, how dare the nations plan a rebellion, ranting and raging against the Lord Most High.

Their foolish plots are feudal. Look at how the kings of the earth take their stand,

with the ruler scheming and conspiring together against God and his anointed Messiah.
