Written by Yahusha's Student: LUKE (the Doctor) ...
1 One day Peter and John went up to the Temple at around 3pm (the time for daily prayer).
2 As they were entering, there was a man who had been crippled all his life. He was being carried by some friends who brought him to the Temple every day. They put him by the gate called `beautiful’ and there he begged for money from the people going to the Temple. 3 That day he saw Peter and John going into the Temple area and asked them for money. 4 Peter and John looked at the crippled man and said, “Look at us!” 5 So he looked at them, thinking they would give him some money.
EYE CONTACT IS A POWERFUL THING, FOR BY STARING INTO THE EYES OF THIS BEGGAR, THEY MADE A PERSONAL CONNECTION AS THE SPIRIT DREW THEIR ATTENTION TO HIM.
6 But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold, but I do have something far better to give you. By the power of Yahusha Messiah of Nazareth, get up and walk!” 7 Then Peter took the man’s right hand and lifted him up. Immediately his feet and legs became strong. 8 He jumped up, stood on his feet, and began to walk. Then he went into the Temple area with them, walking and leaping (IS.35) and praising Alahim. 9-10 And all the people recognised him, knowing he was the crippled man who always sat by the Beautiful Gate to beg for money. And now they saw this same man walking and praising Alahim with all his might! And they were amazed, not understanding how this could happen. 11The man was holding onto Peter and John, following them around. All the people were amazed! They ran to Peter and John at Solomon’s Porch.
12 When Peter saw this, he said to the people, (A GOSPEL DELIVERANCE MESSAGE) “Men of Israel, why are you surprised at this? You are looking at us as if it was our power that made this man walk. Do you think this was done because we’re so amazing and good? 13No way, Alahim did it! He's the Living Alahim of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob. He’s the Alahim of all our fathers. He gave esteem to YAHUSHA, His special servant. But you handed Him over to be killed. Then Pilate decided to let Him go free, but you told Pilate you didn’t want that, or Him! 14YAHUSHA was set-apart and good, but you rejected and denied Him, insisting that Pilate give you a murderer instead of YAHUSHA. 15 And so you killed the one Who gives life! But Alahim raised Him from the dead. And we are witnesses of this, for we saw it with our own eyes! 16 This crippled man was healed because of belief in YAHUSHA. It was YAHUSHA’S power that made him well. You can see this man, and you know him. He was made completely well because of trust in YAHUSHA. You all saw it happen!
17 My brothers, I know you were ignorant in what you did to YAHUSHA and you did not understand, and the same with your Leaders. 18 But Alahim said these things would happen. Through the prophets He said that His Messiah would suffer and die. I've told you how Alahim made this happen. 19 So you must genuinely REPENT and TURN back to His Blood-Covenant, for the forgiveness of your sins, 20 in order for the TIMES OF REFRESHING (REVIVAL, RELIEF, RESPITE, REST) to come from the Master. He will send you YAHUSHA, the one He chose to be the Messiah.
21“But YAHUSHA must stay in the Heavens until the times of RESTORATION (REVIVAL), when all things will be made new again. Alahim spoke about this time when he spoke long ago through His set-apart prophets.
22 Moses said, ‘YAHUAH your Alahim will give you a prophet, and that prophet will come from among your own people. He will be just like me. So you must obey everything He tells you. 23 And anyone who refuses to obey that prophet will be destroyed’. 24 Samuel, and all the other prophets who spoke for YAHUAH, said that this time would come. 25 And what those prophets talked about is for you, their descendants. You have received the Blood-Covenant that Alahim made with your fathers. YAHUAH said to your father Abraham, ‘Every nation on earth will be blessed through your descendants.’ 26 So Alahim has sent His special servant YAHUSHA. He sent Him to you first (TO THE JEWS). He sent Him to bless you by causing each of you to turn away from your evil ways.”
YAHUSHA SAID HE CAME FOR THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF YISHARAL ... AND HE FOUND THEM!! SADLY MOST OF THE LOST SHEEP OF YISHARAL (JEWS) REJECTED THEIR OWN MESSIAH, THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF DELIVERANCE, AND THE GOSPEL WAS THEN PREACHED TO ALL THE NATIONS, WHO MAY GRAFT INTO YAHUSHA'S GOOD OLIVE TREE, THE NEW BLOOD-COVENANT BRIDE OF YAHUSHA. THE JEWS BLINDLY READ AND HEARD THE SCRIPTURES EVERY SABBATH DAY, AND STILL MANAGED TO FULFIL THEM ALL BY CONDEMNING YAHUSHA.
