2) People who were born lame were brought in to those who entered the temple.
The one who puts daily at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate to beg.
3) When he saw Peter and John going into the temple, he begged.
4) Peter looked at him with John and said, "Look at us."

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk

9) And when all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10) Knowing that he was originally a beggar sitting at the beautiful gate of the temple, because of what he had suffered
I was very amazed and amazed.

They gathered in the tent called Solomon's Parade.

Why do you regard us as if we made this man walk by our own power and godliness?
do you pay attention
13) The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, gave his servant Jesus
that you have given me over, and that Pilate decided to let go
you denied it before him.

15) You killed the Lord of life, but God raised him from the dead, so we
I am a witness in this matter.
16) By believing in his name, that name has been consecrated this man whom you have seen and known.
The faith that was born through it has thus completely healed in the sight of all of you.
I. What is life under the rule of Satan in the kingdom of the world
A life under Satan's rule in the kingdom of the world is like a crippled life begging. He has no name and has been lame since birth. He was a man who never thought he would be able to walk. What the crippled man needed now was a few pennies to get him to solve the real problem of hunger he was experiencing right now. He had been sitting at the beautiful gate of the temple for 40 years, but he had not had a single worship service. He was a man who had never asked God to heal him. It was because he thought that walking was by no means impossible.
The crippled is the model of all human beings living under the rule of Satan in the kingdom of the world. Satan seduced a man made in the image of God and made him a slave by binding the fetters of sin and reality. And they destroyed their character, and made them live under the curse of disease, pain, sorrow, and eventually death. The people of this earth are living under the rule of Satan, and they are living in desperation like a cripple, thinking that my reality is destiny and it is for sale. A life like this is a life in the world and a life of hard reality. Think of the agony the crippled man must have suffered for the rest of his 40 years. How many people would have ignored him, who had no choice but to live begging? Tired, exhausted, exhausted, but unable to rest. Because there is a reality where you have to eat and live. In the fear of reality, like crippled people, we cannot escape our present life and live contentedly with what we have obtained from it. I never thought that I would ever be able to get out of this life. That's the life of a crippled man, and that's what it's like to live as a citizen of that country under the rule of Satan.
Ⅱ. God wants to live under the rule of Jesus Christ in that kingdom.
God wants us to live under the rule of Christ as the people of the kingdom of God.
It is impossible for the people of the kingdom of God, the people to be ruled by Christ, to live crippled lives. The country that makes people live like this is the world, and its owner is Satan. Jesus came to this earth to open the eyes of the blind and set free those who live in oppression of life and obsessed with worldly things. Jesus Christ came to free those who groan from the captivity of money and material, captivity of disease, fear of death, and the pain of life.
There is nothing impossible in the name of Jesus and faith in Him. Shout out to my life, which is crouching like a cripple in frustration, discouragement and despair. “Rise up and walk in the name of Jesus Christ” Shout out to your life without any dreams or hopes. “In the name of Jesus Christ, get up and walk.” Shout out to my sick and groaning body and my difficult family. My body is “healed in the name of Jesus Christ” My life and my family are - “heal me happily in the name of Jesus Christ”
The history of the lame man being healed means that God's reign has begun on this earth and the kingdom of God has already reached this earth. The saints who are God's people and who are governed by Jesus Christ must never sit lame. Rise up in the name of Jesus Christ.
Jesus is my King, and now I am a people of the kingdom of God. As I trust in the name of Jesus Christ, my life will happen and I will walk and run.
