There Is Power in the Name of Jesus 💪

“Then Peter said, ‘Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.’” Acts 3:6 (NIV)

Hey friends 👋

We’re continuing through Acts —s o open your Bible and study along with me 📖

In Acts 3, Peter and John are heading to the temple at the time of prayer 🙏

And sitting near the temple gate was a man who had been lame from birth ⚠️

Verse 2 says he was “being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg …”

Every day.

The same condition.

The same dependence.

The same hopeless routine.

Verses 3–5: When the man asks Peter and John for money 💰 Peter says:

“Look at us.” 👀

The man expected coins.

But God was about to give him something greater.

Verse 6: “Silver or gold I do not have …”

Peter wasn’t offering temporary relief.

He continues: “but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 👣

The power was not in Peter.

It was in the name of Jesus!

Then in verse 7: “He took him by the right hand and helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.” 💪

Strength entered what had always been weak.

In Verse 8 “He jumped to his feet and began to walk.”

And then: “He went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.” 🙌

The miracle didn’t just restore his body.

It restored his worship!

Verses 9–10: The people recognized him 😮

They knew this was the same man who used to sit begging at the gate called Beautiful.

And now?

He was standing🧍‍♂️

Walking🚶‍♂️

Praising God!

“They were filled with wonder and amazement …” ✨

Acts 3 reveals the heart of Jesus toward the weak, broken, and overlooked ❤️

This man had spent his life being carried by others.

But Jesus saw him.

And through the power of His name, everything changed 🔥

The name of Jesus still brings healing!

Still brings restoration!

Still brings hope!🕊️
