Acts 9: 34
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and tidy up your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up.
So when Peter found the paralytic he launched into a healing ministry. He said, “I will pray for you.” He said, “Let me place my hands on you, believe for your healing as I minister to you.”
No, Peter didn’t do any of the above at all.
He unequivocally made Jesus the centre of the conversation. It would be Jesus and nothing to do with Peter. Jesus heals you. Now that takes faith for sure. But it also takes a surrendered heart from a leader.
Leaders need to get out of the way.
It is not about us.
It is about Him.
When He is in the way more and more then maybe we know more of what He is going to do. Maybe it is easier to say, “Jesus heals you” when He is all encompassing and all important.
