Healing, Signs and Wonders

Stretch out your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs and wonders be done through the name of your holy  servant Jesus.”                         Acts 4:30


This prayer is a request for God to continue the work of Jesus in the world, through the apostles and through all who follow Jesus.

The apostles were facing opposition from the religious leaders of their day. They had been arrested and threatened for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. In this prayer, they are asking God to give them the courage to continue speaking out, even in the face of danger. They are also asking God to work through them to heal the sick and perform miracles, so that people would be drawn to Jesus.

The prayer in Acts 4:30 is a reminder that God is still at work in the world today. He is still healing the sick, performing miracles, and drawing people to Himself. When we pray for God to "stretch out your hand with healing power," we are asking Him to continue His work in the world through us.

We can all be a part of God's work of healing and miracles. We can pray for the sick, we can volunteer our time to help those in need, and we can share the gospel with others. When we do these things, we are joining with the apostles in praying for God to "stretch out your hand with healing power."

The prayer in Acts 4:30 is also a reminder that God is with us when we face opposition. The apostles were facing threats and persecution, but they knew that God was with them. They knew that He would give them the courage to speak out, and that He would work through them to heal the sick and perform miracles.

When we face opposition, we can remember that God is with us. We can pray for Him to give us the courage to stand firm in our faith, and to work through us to bring healing and hope to others.

The Power of Words

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down.

If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we
