1 # Now <1161> Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> went up <305> (5707) together <1909> <846> into <1519> the temple <2411> at the hour <5610> of prayer <4335>, being the ninth <1766> hour.
2 And <2532> a certain <5100> man <435> lame <5225> (5723) <5560> from <1537> his <846> mother's <3384> womb <2836> was carried <941> (5712), whom <3739> they laid <5087> (5707) daily <2250> <2596> at <4314> the gate <2374> of the temple <2411> which <3588> is called <3004> (5746) Beautiful <5611>, to ask <154> (5721) alms <1654> of <3844> them that entered <1531> (5740) into <1519> the temple <2411>;
3 Who <3739> seeing <1492> (5631) Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491> about <3195> (5723) to go <1524> (5750) into <1519> the temple <2411> asked <2065> (5707) (5625) <2983> (5629) an alms <1654>.
4 And <1161> Peter <4074>, fastening his eyes <816> (5660) upon <1519> him <846> with <4862> John <2491>, said <2036> (5627), Look <991> (5657) on <1519> us <2248>.
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 And <1161> he gave heed <1907> (5707) unto them <846>, expecting <4328> (5723) to receive <2983> (5629) something <5100> of <3844> them <846>.
6 Then <1161> Peter <4074> said <2036> (5627), Silver <694> and <2532> gold <5553> have <5225> (5719) I <3427> none <3756>; but <1161> such as <3739> <5124> I have <2192> (5719) give I <1325> (5719) thee <4671>: In <1722> the name <3686> of Jesus <2424> Christ <5547> of Nazareth <3480> rise up <1453> (5669) and <2532> walk <4043> (5720).
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 And <2532> he took <4084> (5660) him <846> by the right <1188> hand <5495>, and lifted him up <1453> (5656): and <1161> immediately <3916> his <846> feet <939> and <2532> ankle bones <4974> received strength <4732> (5681).
After he had spoken words of healing, Peter added action to his words. The anointing was thus released via both words and actions.

8 And <2532> he leaping up <1814> (5740) stood <2476> (5627), and <2532> walked <4043> (5707), and <2532> entered <1525> (5627) with <4862> them <846> into <1519> the temple <2411>, walking <4043> (5723), and <2532> leaping <242> (5740), and <2532> praising <134> (5723) God <2316> .
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 And <2532> all <3956> the people <2992> saw <1492> (5627) him <846> walking <4043> (5723) and <2532> praising <134> (5723) God <2316>:
10 And <5037> they knew <1921> (5707) that <3754> it <846> was <2258> (5713) he <3778> which <3588> sat <2521> (5740) for <4314> alms <1654> at <1909> the Beautiful <5611> gate <4439> of the temple <2411>: and <2532> they were filled <4130> (5681) with wonder <2285> and <2532> amazement <1611> at <1909> that which had happened <4819> (5761) unto him <846>.
11 And <1161> as the lame man <5560> which was healed <2390> (5685) held <2902> (5723) Peter <4074> and <2532> John <2491>, all <3956> the people <2992> ran together <4936> (5627) unto <4314> them <846> in <1909> the porch <4745> that is called <2564> (5746) Solomon's <4672>, greatly wondering <1569>.
12 # And <1161> when Peter <4074> saw <1492> (5631) it, he answered <611> (5662) unto <4314> the people <2992>, Ye men <435> of Israel <2475>, why <5101> marvel ye <2296> (5719) at <1909> this <5129>? or <2228> why <5101> look ye so earnestly <816> (5719) on us <2254>, as though <5613> by our own <2398> power <1411> or <2228> holiness <2150> we had made <4160> (5761) this man <846> to walk <4043> (5721) ?
The power is not from the human spirit, and is not increased through holiness. It comes from God alone.

13 The God <2316> of Abraham <11>, and <2532> of Isaac <2464>, and <2532> of Jacob <2384>, the God <2316> of our <2257> fathers <3962>, hath glorified <1392> (5656) his <846> Son <3816> Jesus <2424>; whom <3739> ye <5210> delivered up <3860> (5656), and <2532> denied <720> (5662) him <846> in <2596> the presence <4383> of Pilate <4091>, when he was determined <2919> (5660) to let <630> <0> him <1565> go <630> (5721).
14 But <1161> ye <5210> denied <720> (5662) the Holy One <40> and <2532> the Just <1342> , and <2532> desired <154> (5668) a murderer <5406> <435> to be granted <5483> (5683) unto you <5213> ;
15 And <1161> killed <615> (5656) the Prince <747> of life <2222>, whom <3739> God <2316> hath raised <1453> (5656) from <1537> the dead <3498>; whereof <3739> we <2249> are <2070> (5748) witnesses <3144>.
Jesus is known as the Prince of Life.

16 And <2532> his <846> name <3686> through <1909> faith <4102> in his <846> name <3686> hath made <4732> <0> this man <5026> strong <4732> (5656), whom <3739> ye see <2334> (5719) and <2532> know <1492> (5758): yea <2532>, the faith <4102> which is <1325> <0> by <1223> him <846> hath given <1325> (5656) him <846> this <5126> perfect soundness <3647> in the presence <561> of you <5216> all <3956>.
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 And <2532> now <3568>, brethren <80>, I wot <1492> (5758) that <3754> through <2596> ignorance <52> ye did <4238> (5656) it, as <5618> did also <2532> your <5216> rulers <758>.
18 But <1161> those things, which <3739> God <2316> before had shewed <4293> (5656) by <1223> the mouth <4750> of all <3956> his <846> prophets <4396>, that Christ <5547> should suffer <3958> (5629), he hath <4137> <0> so <3779> fulfilled <4137> (5656).
19 Repent ye <3340> (5657) therefore <3767>, and <2532> be converted <1994> (5657), that <1519> your <5216> sins <266> may be blotted out <1813> (5683), when <3704> the times <2540> of refreshing <403> shall come <302> <2064> (5632) from <575> the presence <4383> of the Lord <2962>;
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.

20 And <2532> he shall send <649> (5661) Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, which before was preached <4296> (5772) unto you <5213>:
Everything God gives is in Christ. So revival is found in Christ and you must receive it from His hands.

21 Whom <3739> the heaven <3772> <3303> must <1163> (5748) receive <1209> (5664) until <891> the times <5550> of restitution <605> of all things <3956>, which <3739> God <2316> hath spoken <2980> (5656) by <1223> the mouth <4750> of all <3956> his <846> holy <40> prophets <4396> since <575> the world began <165>.
 - CHRONOS - TIME
22 For <1063> Moses <3475> truly <3303> said <2036> (5627) unto <4314> the fathers <3962> , <3754> A prophet <4396> shall <450> <0> the Lord <2962> your <5216> God <2316> raise up <450> (5692) unto you <5213> of <1537> your <5216> brethren <80>, like <5613> unto me <1691>; him <846> shall ye hear <191> (5695) in <2596> all things <3956> whatsoever <3745> <302> he shall say <2980> (5661) unto <4314> you <5209>.
23 And <1161> it shall come to pass <2071> (5704), that every <3956> soul <5590>, which <3748> <302> will <191> <0> not <3361> hear <191> (5661) that <1565> prophet <4396>, shall be destroyed <1842> (5701) from among <1537> the people <2992>.
24 Yea <2532>, and <1161> all <3956> the prophets <4396> from <575> Samuel <4545> and <2532> those that follow after <2517>, as many as <3745> have spoken <2980> (5656), have <4293> <0> likewise <2532> foretold <4293> (5656) of these <5025> days <2250>.
25 Ye <5210> are <2075> (5748) the children <5207> of the prophets <4396>, and <2532> of the covenant <1242> which <3739> God <2316> made <1303> (5639) with <4314> our <2257> fathers <3962>, saying <3004> (5723) unto <4314> Abraham <11>, And <2532> in thy <4675> seed <4690> shall <1757> <0> all <3956> the kindreds <3965> of the earth <1093> be blessed <1757> (5701).
26 Unto you <5213> first <4412> God <2316>, having raised up <450> (5660) his <846> Son <3816> Jesus <2424>, sent <649> (5656) him <846> to bless <2127> (5723) you <5209>, in <1722> turning away <654> (5721) every one <1538> of you <5216> from <575> his iniquities <4189>.
