Using God's Power For Personal Advantage

Acts 14:8-13

In Lystra there sat a man who was lame. He had been that way from birth and had never walked. He listened to Paul as he was speaking. Paul looked directly at him, saw that he had faith to be healed and called out, 'Stand up on your feet!' At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. When the crowd saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, 'The gods have come down to us in human form!' Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes because he was the chief speaker. The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates because he and the crowd wanted to offer sacrifices to them. (NIVUK)

Arriving at Lystra, after escaping death threats in Iconium (Acts 14:5-7), Paul continued to preach the truth about Jesus. A lame beggar heard the gospel, and Paul could see that he wanted to trust the Saviour. Like Peter and John who healed a lame beggar on the steps of the temple in Jerusalem (Acts 3:1-9), Paul looked at the beggar and commanded him to stand up. God's power came on the man who had never walked from birth, and he was able to walk and jump.
