Our Backwards Kingdom

Act 3:6-7 ESV
(6) But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!"
(7) And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong.

In the Kingdom, things 'appear' backwards. The least is the greatest. The way to the top is down. In order to get ahead, you must work to make others successful. To see, you must first believe. In order to live, we must die to flesh. You only get to keep what you give away.

This healing is a picture of the Kingdom. It demonstrates Kingdom rules. First the man was raised up, and then his ankles were made strong.

What is the goal you are currently trying to achieve? Does this give any clarity on how you might achieve it?
