1 ⸂Πέτρος δὲ⸃ καὶ Ἰωάννης ἀνέβαινον εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἐπὶ τὴν ὥραν τῆς προσευχῆς τὴν ἐνάτην,
2 καί τις ἀνὴρ χωλὸς ἐκ κοιλίας μητρὸς αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχων ἐβαστάζετο, ὃν ἐτίθουν καθ’ ἡμέραν πρὸς τὴν θύραν τοῦ ἱεροῦ τὴν λεγομένην Ὡραίαν τοῦ αἰτεῖν ἐλεημοσύνην παρὰ τῶν εἰσπορευομένων εἰς τὸ ἱερόν,
3 ὃς ἰδὼν Πέτρον καὶ Ἰωάννην μέλλοντας εἰσιέναι εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν ἠρώτα ἐλεημοσύνην ⸀λαβεῖν.
4 ἀτενίσας δὲ Πέτρος εἰς αὐτὸν σὺν τῷ Ἰωάννῃ εἶπεν· Βλέψον εἰς ἡμᾶς.
Peter had to get his full attention before he could minister to him. He did this boldly and with confidence, knowing that he had something to offer.

5 ὁ δὲ ἐπεῖχεν αὐτοῖς προσδοκῶν τι παρ’ αὐτῶν λαβεῖν.
6 εἶπεν δὲ Πέτρος· Ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον οὐχ ὑπάρχει μοι, ὃ δὲ ἔχω τοῦτό σοι δίδωμι· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Ναζωραίου ⸀περιπάτει.
Peter knew that he had within himself the anointing of God, which also included the ability to bring healing to someone else. Every spirit filled believer has this, but few know how to tap into that anointing.

7 καὶ πιάσας αὐτὸν τῆς δεξιᾶς χειρὸς ἤγειρεν ⸀αὐτόν· παραχρῆμα δὲ ἐστερεώθησαν ⸂αἱ βάσεις αὐτοῦ⸃ καὶ τὰ ⸀σφυδρά,
After he had spoken words of healing, Peter added action to his words. The anointing was thus released via both words and actions.

8 καὶ ἐξαλλόμενος ἔστη καὶ περιεπάτει, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν σὺν αὐτοῖς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν περιπατῶν καὶ ἁλλόμενος καὶ αἰνῶν τὸν θεόν.
This was a miracle in itself - it takes a child some time to learn to walk with balance, and since he had never walked before, he would not have had any experience in walking before.

9 καὶ εἶδεν ⸂πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτὸν⸃ περιπατοῦντα καὶ αἰνοῦντα τὸν θεόν,
10 ἐπεγίνωσκον ⸀δὲ αὐτὸν ὅτι ⸀οὗτος ἦν ὁ πρὸς τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῇ Ὡραίᾳ Πύλῃ τοῦ ἱεροῦ, καὶ ἐπλήσθησαν θάμβους καὶ ἐκστάσεως ἐπὶ τῷ συμβεβηκότι αὐτῷ.
11 Κρατοῦντος δὲ ⸀αὐτοῦ τὸν Πέτρον καὶ ⸀τὸν Ἰωάννην συνέδραμεν ⸂πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτοὺς⸃ ἐπὶ τῇ στοᾷ τῇ καλουμένῃ Σολομῶντος ἔκθαμβοι.
12 ἰδὼν δὲ ⸀ὁ Πέτρος ἀπεκρίνατο πρὸς τὸν λαόν· Ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται, τί θαυμάζετε ἐπὶ τούτῳ, ἢ ἡμῖν τί ἀτενίζετε ὡς ἰδίᾳ δυνάμει ἢ εὐσεβείᾳ πεποιηκόσιν τοῦ περιπατεῖν αὐτόν;
The power is not from the human spirit, and is not increased through holiness. It comes from God alone.

13 ὁ θεὸς Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ⸂Ἰσαὰκ καὶ⸃ Ἰακώβ, ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ἐδόξασεν τὸν παῖδα αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦν, ὃν ὑμεῖς ⸀μὲν παρεδώκατε καὶ ⸀ἠρνήσασθε κατὰ πρόσωπον Πιλάτου, κρίναντος ἐκείνου ἀπολύειν·
14 ὑμεῖς δὲ τὸν ἅγιον καὶ δίκαιον ἠρνήσασθε καὶ ᾐτήσασθε ἄνδρα φονέα χαρισθῆναι ὑμῖν,
15 τὸν δὲ ἀρχηγὸν τῆς ζωῆς ἀπεκτείνατε, ὃν ὁ θεὸς ἤγειρεν ἐκ νεκρῶν, οὗ ἡμεῖς μάρτυρές ἐσμεν.
Jesus is known as the Prince of Life.

16 καὶ ⸀ἐπὶ τῇ πίστει τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ τοῦτον ὃν θεωρεῖτε καὶ οἴδατε ἐστερέωσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡ πίστις ἡ δι’ αὐτοῦ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν ὁλοκληρίαν ταύτην ἀπέναντι πάντων ὑμῶν.
Faith is the force that brings miracles. It is released in the name of Jesus, which adds authority to the power of faith. Thus, power and authority work together to produce miracles.

17 Καὶ νῦν, ἀδελφοί, οἶδα ὅτι κατὰ ἄγνοιαν ἐπράξατε, ὥσπερ καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες ὑμῶν·
18 ὁ δὲ θεὸς ἃ προκατήγγειλεν διὰ στόματος πάντων τῶν ⸀προφητῶν παθεῖν τὸν χριστὸν ⸀αὐτοῦ ἐπλήρωσεν οὕτως.
19 μετανοήσατε οὖν καὶ ἐπιστρέψατε ⸀πρὸς τὸ ἐξαλειφθῆναι ὑμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας,
The change begins in the mind. This is the first key to revival - a return to what was before. The result is a purging from sin and an outpouring of revival power.
- KAIROS - TIME - PRESENCE OF GOD - REVIVAL

20 ὅπως ἂν ἔλθωσιν καιροὶ ἀναψύξεως ἀπὸ προσώπου τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἀποστείλῃ τὸν προκεχειρισμένον ὑμῖν χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν,
Everything God gives is in Christ. So revival is found in Christ and you must receive it from His hands.

21 ὃν δεῖ οὐρανὸν μὲν δέξασθαι ἄχρι χρόνων ἀποκαταστάσεως πάντων ὧν ἐλάλησεν ὁ θεὸς διὰ ⸀στόματος τῶν ἁγίων ⸂ἀπ’ αἰῶνος αὐτοῦ προφητῶν⸃.
- CHRONOS - TIME
22 Μωϋσῆς ⸀μὲν εἶπεν ὅτι Προφήτην ὑμῖν ἀναστήσει κύριος ὁ ⸀θεὸς ἐκ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν ὡς ἐμέ· αὐτοῦ ἀκούσεσθε κατὰ πάντα ὅσα ἂν λαλήσῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
23 ἔσται δὲ πᾶσα ψυχὴ ἥτις ⸀ἂν μὴ ἀκούσῃ τοῦ προφήτου ἐκείνου ἐξολεθρευθήσεται ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.
24 καὶ πάντες δὲ οἱ προφῆται ἀπὸ Σαμουὴλ καὶ τῶν καθεξῆς ὅσοι ἐλάλησαν καὶ κατήγγειλαν τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας.
25 ὑμεῖς ἐστε ⸀οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν προφητῶν καὶ τῆς διαθήκης ἧς ⸂διέθετο ὁ θεὸς⸃ πρὸς τοὺς πατέρας ⸀ὑμῶν, λέγων πρὸς Ἀβραάμ Καὶ ἐν τῷ σπέρματί σου ⸀ἐνευλογηθήσονται πᾶσαι αἱ πατριαὶ τῆς γῆς.
26 ὑμῖν πρῶτον ⸂ἀναστήσας ὁ θεὸς⸃ τὸν παῖδα ⸀αὐτοῦ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εὐλογοῦντα ὑμᾶς ἐν τῷ ἀποστρέφειν ἕκαστον ἀπὸ τῶν πονηριῶν ὑμῶν.
