Those “great wonders and miracles” would have included the healing of the sick and the casting out of evil spirits. Stephen became the first Christian martyr for the Christian faith; warning us that the deliverance ministry is not readily accepted, nor is it always “popular.” It is very important that believers are really grounded in the Word of God and know their God-given authority as they seek to move in the realm of deliverance. Ask God for His wisdom and guidance…..He will lead you in the way of complete victory for His glory.
Philip was one of the seven chosen with Stephen. So he, too, was a man of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom. After Stephen’s death there was a great persecution against the church, but it did not prevent Philip from claiming the unsearchable riches of Christ. Persecution and opposition is no excuse to disobey the great commission of Jesus Christ. “The One who is in you is greater, than the one who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
Our final portion of study in this Lesson is found in The Book of ACTS 8:5-8: “Philip.”

Will you pray this prayer with me?
“Dear Lord Jesus, we come to You now, confessing our lack of faith and unwillingness to obey Your command that we have been studying today from your Word. Please convict and guide us into a new realm of authority and power in Your name, that we shall be men like Stephen and Philip – filled with wisdom, faith and power in the Holy Spirit, doing those things that bring glory to Your name. Help us to bring salvation, health and healing to those about us. Help us to live in the power of Your resurrection, so that by the lives we live, others shall see and know that You are alive and want to meet their every need, whether it be spiritual, physical, mental, emotional or financial, etc. Lord, You are the great God of heaven and earth, and there is nothing too hard for You. Revolutionize our faith as we seek in a new way to take You, at Your Word. This we ask in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. Amen.”
“FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED ; FREELY GIVE said JESUS” (Matthew 10:8)
Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He has never lost His love, never lost His compassion, never lost His power, and He will NEVER say to you nor to any other child of His, “Go thy way, suffer and bear this patiently for Me.” No! He will say, “Go in peace, thy faith hath made thee whole” just as He did 2000 years ago. (Mark 5:25-34).
