Acts 3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

Peter the chief apostle along with John are going into the temple. The essence of what is being said here is that Peter and the Apostles are embarking and embracing new territory in Ministry. And we can clearly see that they are still being a part of the established orthodoxy of the Jewish religion. Peter and John still wanted to be a part of God’s Church. They went to the temple to pray. Prayer is always a good thing because Prayer changes things that can’t be changed, Prayer changes the conditions gives us favor for what we face, and Prayer Changes the circumstances the ugly things that we see when we take our eyes off of Jesus.

And so the bible says in Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple. And so here it is 3 o-clock in the evening. And the church is having prayer service.The bible says that there was a certain lame man there. That could be anybody because no name is given to the man.Anytime you see in scripture that a person (male or Female) is mentioned but no name is applied then I was taught that, that could apply to you and I in some existential way, some metamorphic way and some spiritual connotation. And some just put your own name there, and say Lord it’s me that standing in the need of prayer this day. This certain man had been in this condition for a very long time. In fact he was lame from birth.

And I always say that it ain’t them children fault that they got problems. They didn’t ask to come into this world but since they are here I’m going to Love them with the Love of God. And the church said Amen. Listen to me church, I built a career and family and ministry that strived all because I taught special needs learners . That’s been well over 21 years ago and I still got a spot for them in my heart. The poor man has grown up now. He’s not the baby that mom and dad carried around in the baby carrier any more. He’s not the kid that’s playing stick ball with the other kids in the neighborhood.He’s not the teenager that is frustrated because he’s the the social media sensation like other teens his age. No No No he’s way passed all of that. The lame man is grown. He’s missed all of the normal everyday functions that we take for granted.

And as a result he has been taught by his parents, by society, and by his church community to accept his deplorable condition. And You got to remember that there is no social security system, that there is no disability check for disabled individuals, There are not Special Needs appropriations or accommodations for this lame man. All he has is his ability to beg. He has learned to ask for help for money for resources in ways that we probably have never thought of. He’s not blind so he ain’t rattling no tin can. He ain’t mute so nobody else is talking for him. He’s lame and he needs help. Ans he’s been in this condition so long and he’s been at this church all of his life. He knows all of the people there. He knows who have a giving heart and who is stingy. He knows who would like to help but just don’t have it to give.

And then here comes these new people Peter and John. The lame man has been studying personalities for years and years, and sees that something is different about them.
And then here comes these new people Peter and John. The lame man has been studying personalities for years and years, and sees that something is different about them.
But I’ve learned something over the years. You can know that something is different about a situation but because of your acculturation you’ll still approach the situation way you’re familiar with or the way you understand and /or was taught about life. So the lame man began his sales pitch sirs help me please. Please help a brother out. Can I get the hook man? Break a brother off a little something something? Mister can you spare some change? And Peter and John stopped and the bible says that Peter said something profound prolific and powerful. And the bible says in verses 4 &5 Let’s read it together 4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us. 5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.I see several things here in the text.

1. The lame man has gotten Peter and John’s attention. If you keep your mouth closed nobody ain’t gon know you need no help. The bible says “Ask and it shall be given to you seek and ye shall find knock and the doors shall be opened unto you”. Tell your neighbor: You got to ask God for help.

2. You’ve got to get the attention of somebody who can actually help you. Because people have been passing by this po man for years and nothing ever happened But then the bible says “Peter straight way said Look on us.In other word pay strict attention to what’s about too happen to you because things are about to change.

3. In verse 5 we see expectation. But the lame man was expecting the usual hand out. And and and my daddy taught me If you give a man some fish that you caught you’ll always have to give his fish that you caught. But if you take the time to teach the man how to fish, then he can catch his own fish.

Thennnn!!! we see the (KHAN-YA-SHIN-TI) COGONOSCENTE in verse 6 in the text Let’s read it together 6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

Peter here is acting as the CONOGNOSCENTE. And through research I found out what this new word The Conogoscente is. (Khan-Ya- Shin -Ti) a person who has Expert knowledge in a subject area. 3x And Peter had seen first hand how Jesus Christ had made the lame to walk the dumb to talk the deaf to hear the blind to see casted out demons and raised the dead. Peter was a COGONOSCENTE. Peter was an expert.I saw a commercial on TV where a doctor came in a woman’s room and said well which leg are we operating on? And the woman said are you sure you know what you’re doing? And the problem with modern society is that we follow after so many people are not Experts. Khan Ya Shin Ti means I’m an expert at what I’m doing. And the congregation is too important to God to let any and everybody instruct teach or preach the word to the body of Christ. and so

Peter said I’ll give you what you need.. And sometimes it’s better to give me what I need than what I want. When God gives us what we need we’ll treat it like it was a Ritz. Peter said I’m going to give you what you need to survive.

Peter said you don’t need silver or gold because you’ll still be in the same deplorable condition that you’ve been in all your life. You still won’t have a girlfriend, you still can’t have a wife, you still can’t have a job, you still can’t have children youstill can’t have a mortgage to your home sweet home. Boy you in bad shape!!! and Like wise in 2024 brothers and sisters God don’t need to give us more money all the time but God can show us how to manage the money we have more wisely. And I told my wife I’m determined to be a blessing to young people, because too many people have helped me along the way, Now it’s my turn to pay the favor back. I’m getting to be too old to have beg people. And the church said Amen. Listen to the next potent powerful and prolific set of events in the text. when Peter said In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth Rise up and Walk. The man that had been lame from birth stood up got up and leap up and the bible says He said I’ve got a brand new walk, I’ve got a brand new talk , I’ve got a brand new neck back and spine and He said You don’t know like I know what the Lord have done for me… Hallelujah The Man is leaping and shouting and praising God. And when God has healed your body ( I ain’t talking about nobody else But when He done Healed you) You shout about it even if you have to shout all by yourself.

The bible says in verse 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.

And We ought not be ashamed for the world to know What a Mighty God we serve! And the church said Amen. The people were amazed and astonished and were in wonderment. And that’s how God is He do it BIG.
