Acts 3:16 

16 And on the basis of faith in Jesus’ name, His very name has made this man—

whom you see and know—strong. The faith that is through Jesus has given him

this complete health in the presence of you all.

 

Invitation

 

“Faith to be healed” the apostles noticed ... as they moved in to heal a man

Did not they have faith enough ... to believe the Lord would sustain them?

If the hurt are faithful but the disciple not ... could this then raise a cripple?

Is it not written in the span of life ... a disciple’s faith at times seems brittle?

 

I’ve seen man almost curse the devil ... and order him to leave a man

Was it done for God’s Glory ... if the man was not healed right then?

Some will blame the victim ... and conclude faith was not there

But I wonder or through purpose ... Christ was not invited. Where?

 

In the name of Jesus ... Satan was told to go

But no change occurred ... was Christ not really there?

Or was the victim’s pain ... a reflection of times long ago

Results from the Fall ... in time as God was just and fair?

 

Maybe there is a difference ... between natural and possession.

Maybe all things considered ... are not just like they appear

Not to be understood at all ... although that seems the obsession

not to be formed into Holiness ... as the answers remain too far.
