“And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (Acts 3:4-6)
Christians governed by the Holy Spirit do not minister to all people all the time, but rather minister to specific people at specific times, every time.
“Give to the one who asks you” (Matthew 5:42)
A Divine Loophole!
The lame man told Peter what he wanted, but the Holy Spirit, through Peter, gave him what he needed.
Off on a technicality?
Not at all – we’re off on another mission!
