Men (woman) of Israel, why do you wonder

 

Peter and John asked this question to the Israelites when they healed a lame man in the Name of Yahusha (Jesus) – Acts 3:2-12. Men of Israel, why do you wonder of this healing we did in the Messiah’s Name?

Do we also sometimes doubt the belief in Yahusha?

Peter says to them in Acts 3:13 that the Heavenly Father of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has glorified the Messiah whom you delivered up (betrayed) and denied (reject) to be the Messiah.

Peter says further; “But you killed the Leader of life, whom Elohim (Almighty) raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. “And by the belief in His Name, this one whom you see and know (lame person that was healed), His Name made strong, and the belief which comes through Him has given him this perfect healing before all of you – Acts 3:15-16.

In His Name, the Prince gives life! Peter and the other apostles understood why Yahusha had to die and be raised again but those people that were involved with His death did not know and Peter says in verse 17-18 that they did it in ignorance but Yahuah had planned it which He told His prophets beforehand so people could understand.

But because many people follow a religious system today like they did at that time, they do not understand His word. Many do it in ignorance! If you are doubting His healing, doubting the belief in Him, maybe denying Him in your ignorance then Peter says in verse 19 “Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master.

Yahusha Messiah was sent pre-appointed for us – verse 20.

WHY?

So, He can restore all matters as what it was at the beginning. All this was given to the prophets since of old – Acts 3:21.

 

We are indeed living in exciting times. Yahusha is preparing His Bride, setting her apart and cleansing her by the washing of water by the Word (Rev.19:7-8, Eph. 5:26-27).

He is restoring the True Worship which has been mixed with leaven (sin), evil birds (false preachers), the rotten, the darnel (lawlessness), as Yahusha prophesied and warned us about in Matthew 13:1-52.

Indeed, He is opening our eyes and our understanding to see it all clearly (Mark. 8:25).

This is what Moses said about Messiah; “For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘Yahuah your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet (Messiah) like me from your brothers. Him you shall hear according to all matters, whatever He says to you. ‘And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people’ – Acts 3:22-23. Read also Deuteronomy 18:15-20.

Note the importance of hearing (obeying) Messiah, as we see in John 3:36 “He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of Elohim remains on him.”

You cannot just say I belief, you need to hear (obey) and walk a straight path, clean from this entertainment of the world and its sin.

This is the truth and many will not hear this truth!

Those that do not hear will be destroyed!

Not me saying this! You may lose your salvation which was given freely if you do not hear (obey).

All the prophets, from Samuel through to those following after him, have announced these things (verse 24).

Listen to this beautiful word given to us in verse 26 “To you first, Elohim, having raised up His Servant Yahusha, sent Him to bless you, in turning away each one of you from your wicked ways.”

The Messiah, the suffering Servant was raised up to bless us, to cleanse us of sin so we can have everlasting life!

Read Acts 2:38 and Acts 5:31 “Him, a Prince and a Saviour (Messiah), Elohim has exalted to His right hand, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.

But we first need to HEAR!
