(Same God—Same Testimonies)
TO THE BIBLE: Acts 5:15 TPT
“In fact, when people knew Peter was going to walk by, they carried the sick out to the streets and laid them down on cots and mats, knowing the incredible power emanating from him would overshadow them and heal them.
LET’S TALK
“Pastor, my sister suddenly couldn’t walk when she woke up from sleep. Please, can you come over and help us?” wailed Cyril over the phone.
“Okay, I will be over there in a short while,” assured Pastor Mark.
Sure enough, his Pastor came over and laid hands on Cyril’s sister, and the young lady jumped, leaping for joy.
The Bible tells us in Hebrews 13:8, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, and forever” (NASB). Some have wondered if what we read of Peter in the opening verse above is still possible in our day. Absolutely! We see the same miracles and testimonies today because it’s the same God.
The Bible says handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul’s body were placed on the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them (Acts 19:12).
Similarly, we’ve received countless testimonies of how this very devotional you’re reading—Rhapsody of Realities—was placed on the sick and even the dead, and there were miracles: the sick got healed and the dead were raised back to life! This has happened multiple times in different parts of the world because this material is from God.
A lady, whose husband had died, said to someone, “I heard that when people use Rhapsody of Realities, they raise the dead in your church. Please come with a copy to the hospital; my husband is dead.” The lady whom she had called took a copy of the devotional with her to the hospital and placed it on the dead body, and the man came back to life. Hallelujah!
You can immediately see the similarity between this and the story of the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48: “she heard,” and because she heard, she pushed her way through a teeming crowd to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment and was healed instantly.
The difference is that the book Rhapsody of Realities is an even better repository of the power of God in that it contains God’s Word that you can study again and again, rather than the handkerchiefs or aprons on which nothing is written. Praise God!

Speak:
I’m a carrier of the blessing; everything that’s connected to me is blessed, grows, and multiplies. I’m a dispenser of the Lord’s goodness to my world, the extension and manifestation of His manifold graces to all those I come in contact with today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
