A few years ago in Virginia Beach, Virginia, I attended a conference where Gordon Robertson (one of the hosts of “The 700 Club”) ministered on the importance of intercession and then instructed us to pray for each other.   At one point, a man in a wheelchair named Clay was handed the microphone and gave a few words of knowledge.   Clay called out the names of various diseases and people came forward to receive their healing.   Throughout the service, several people prayed for Clay to be healed from cerebral palsy.   The thought kept going through my mind, “Why won’t he just get up and walk?” The Lord then instructed me to approach Clay.   After hesitating for a while, I finally went up front and told Clay I had a word for him.   Then I opened my Bible and read from Acts chapter 3 about the lame man at the temple gate… 3 who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John...

Fortunately, this couple was quite cordial.   One issue they did bring up was the divinity of Jesus.   The man actually offered to become a Christian if I could show him in the Bible that Jesus was God.   I responded by reading to him this passage from John 20… 24 Now Thomas, called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.” 26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them.   Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peac...
