I believe Aeneas was born again, but he was also a sick and paralyzed man. It’s really striking that Peter didn’t pray, “Oh Lord, heal this man,” neither did he say, “Aeneas, God is going to heal you now.” Rather, he said to him, “Aeneas! Jesus Christ has healed you!” (Acts 9:34 TLB) and Aeneas immediately got up!
Today, someone reading this may be suffering from Aids, cancer or some other terrible disease. I’m here to tell you just like Peter told Aeneas, “JESUS CHRIST MAKES YOU WELL!” Don’t look up to man, because his solution may come too late to do you any good. Why should your life be based on the knowledge of men? Why should you just sit down in a place waiting to die because somebody said your disease is incurable? Why should you suffer when you could be well?
Things will only change in your life at the moment of your faith. Things can change in your life for good in a second! The moment of your healing is the moment you accept what I’m telling you. In John 5:1-9, Jesus said to the man who had been impotent at the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years, “Rise, take up thy bed, and walk” (John 5:8). He didn’t touch him, all the man had to do was to obey the Master’s command; he did and he walked that very instant, glory to God!
Today, the Word of God is coming to you with the same power. Therefore, get up! Do what you couldn’t do before! By Jesus’ stripes you were healed, not today, but two thousand years ago! He has already suffered your pains and experienced your shame; you don’t have to go through it anymore, Hallelujah!
