MINISTRY OF PETER AND JOHN. [ACTS OF THE APOSTLES.]

"THEREFORE LET ALL HOUSE ISRAEL KNOW ASSUREDLY THAT GOD HAS MADE THAT SAME JESUS, WHOM YE CRUCIFIED, BOTH LORD AND CHRIST. NOW PETER AND JOHN WENT UP TOGETHER INTO THE TEMPLE AT THE HOUR OF PRAYER, BEING THE NINTH HOUR. AND A CERTAIN MAN LAME FROM HIS MOTHER'S WOMB WAS CARRIED, WHOM THEY LAID DAILY AT THE GATE OF THE TEMPLE WHICH IS CALLED BEAUTIFUL, TO ASK ALMS OF THEM THAT ENTERED INTO THE TEMPLE; WHO SEEING PETER AND JOHN ABOUT TO GO INTO THE TEMPLE ASKED AN ALMS. AND PETER, FASTENING HIS EYES UPON HIM WITH JOHN, " LOOK ON US.". AND HE GAVE HEED UNTO THEM, EXPECTING TO RECIEVE  SOMETHING OF THEM. THEN PETER SAID, " SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE, BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE.: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZRETH RISE UP AND WALK. AND HE TOOK HIS RIGHT HAND, AND LIFTED HIM UP: AND IMMEDIATELY HIS FEET AND ANKEL BONES RECEIVED STRENGTH AND HE LEAPING UP STOOD AND WALKED AND ETERNED WITH THEM INTO THE TEMPLE, WALKING, LEAPING, AND PRAISING GOD.  AND THEY KNEW THAT IT WAS HE WHICH SAT FOR ALMS AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE OF THE TEMPLE. AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH WONDER AND AMAZEMENT AT THAT WHICH HAD HAPPENED UNTO HIM. AND AS THE LAME MAN HAD BEEN HEALED HELD PETER AND JOHN, ALL THE PEOPLE RAN TOGETHER UNTO THEM IN THE PORCH THAT IS CALLED SOLOMON'S, GREATLY WONDERING, AND THEY SPOKE UNTO THE PEOPLE, THE PRIESTS, AND THE CAPTAIN OF THE TEMPLE., AND THE SADDUCEES, CAME UPON THEM, BEING GRIEVED THAT THEY TAUGHT THE PEOPLE, AND PREACHED THROUGH JESUS THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. AND THEY LAID HANDS ON THEM, AND PUT THEM IN HOLD UNTO THE NEXT DAY.: FOR NOW IT WAS EVENTIDE.
 HOW BE IT MANY OF THEM WHICH HEARD THE WORD BELIEVED; AND THE NUMBER OF MEN WAS ABOUT FIVE THOUSAND.
AND IT CAME TO PASS ON THE MORROW, THAT THEIR RULERS, AND ELDERS, AND SCRIBES, ANNAS THE HIGH PRIEST, CAIAPAS, AND JOHN, ALEXANDER, AND AS MANY AS WERE OF THE KINDRED OF THE HIGH PRIEST, WERE GATHERED TOGETHER AT JERUSALEM. "NEITHER IS SALVATION IN ANY OTHER; FOR IS NONE OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED." JOHN: "FATHER, I THANK THEE THAT THOU HAS HEARD ME".
 JOHN SPEAKS: WHEN THE SON OF GOD PRAYS, HE HAS ONLY ONE CONSCIOUSNESS, AND THAT CONSCIOUSNESS OF HIS FATHER. GOD ALWAYS HEARS THE PRAYERS OF HIS SON, AND IF THE SON OF GOD IS FORMED IN ME THE FATHER WILL ALWAYS HEAR MY PRAYERS. I HAVE TO SEE THAT THE SON OF GOD IS MANIFESTED IN MY MORTAL FLESH. " OUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST (SPIRIT),. WE ASK OURSELVES THIS QUESTION:" IS THE PRAYER OF GOD'S ETERNAL SON BEING WORKED-OUT IN OUR LIFE AS ORDINARY HUMAN BEINGS, THROUGH JOHN'S PRAYER.  IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BEING ABUNDANTLY SATISFIED IN OUR LIFE.
NEVER LET COMMON SENSE ( WHICH IS A GIFT) WHICH GOD GAVE TO HUMAN
NATURE; BUT COMMON SENSE IS NOT THE GIFT OF HIS SON. WE HAVE TO SEE THAT THIS MORTAL FLESH IS KEPT IN SUBJECTION TO HIM AND THAT HE WORKS THROUGH IT MOMENT BY MOMENT. REMEMBER: THEY TOOK AWAY THE STONE FROM THE PLACE WHERE THE DEAD WAS LAID. AND JESUS LIFTED UP HIS EYES, AND SAID "FATHER, I THANK THEE THAT THOU HAST HEARD ME. (JOHN'S PRAYER 11:41).
PETER SPEAKS UP; TO CHOOSE TO SUFFER MEANS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.; TO CHOSE GOD'S WILL EVEN IF IT MEANS SUFFERING IS  VERY DIFFERENT. THE SAINT WHO SATISFIES THE HEART OF JESUS WILL MAKE OTHER SAINTS STRONG. NO ONE UNDERSTANDS A SAINT, BUT THE SAINT CLOSER TO THE SAVIOR, WILL MAKE OTHER SAINTS STRONG AND MATURE. " LET THEM THAT SUFFER ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD, COMMIT THE KEEPING OF THEIR SOULS TO HIM IN WELL-DOING. 1:PETER 4:19),.
NOW WHEN THEY SAW THE BOLDNESS OF PETER AND JOHN, AND PERCEIVED THAT THEY WERE UNLEARNED AND IGNORANT MEN, THEY MARVELLED; AND THEY TOOK KNOWLEDGE OF THEM., THAT THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS. AND BEHOLDING THE MAN WHICH THEY HEALED, THEY COULD SAY NOTHING AGAINST IT.
 THE COUNCIL HAD DEMANDED THEM TO GO OUTSIDE, THEN THE COUNCIL
 CONFERRED AMONG THEMSELVES, SAYING, " WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THESE MEN? FOR THAT INDEED A NOTABLE MIRACLE HATH BEEN DONE BY THEM IS MANIFEST TO ALL THEM THAT DWELL IN JERUSALEM, AND WE CANNOT DENY IT.
BUT PETER AND JOHN ANSWERED AND SAID TO THEM, THAT SAMUEL AND EVERY PROPHET HAVE ALL SPOKEN ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON TODAY. GOD'S PROMISE TO YOUR ANCESTOR'S TO BLESS THE ENTIRE WORLD THROUGH THE JEWISH RACE- THAT IS THE PROMISE GOD GAVE TO ABRAHAM.  AS SOON AS GOD HAD BROUGHT HIS SERVANT TO LIFE AGAIN, HE SENT HIM FIRST OF ALL TO YOU MEN OF ISRAEL, TO BLESS YOU BY TURNING YOU BACK FROM YOUR SINS.
