By faith in the name of Jesus

Acts 3:11-17
All the people were astonished and came running to them in the place called Solomon's Colonnade.
Peter declared that you killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus's name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him.
Healing and teaching, both ma possible by the power of the Spirit of God, go together here, as they did in the ministry f Jesus.
The man was sitting at the Temple gate because his disability barred him from entry. As soon as he can walk, he goes in. Something begins to happen when the passersby really look at the beggar and he looks up at them, Peter's message here is much the same as in chapter 2, calling his fellow-Israelite to repentance and faith
Solomon's Porch: The colonnade that ran along the east side of the Court of the Gentiles.
Why?
It is a good opportunity to explain the name of Jesus has power to complete heal a crippled man from birth.
Jesus always make us astonished, but do not let these wonders be our rules or blessing , but the fountain of blessing is the Jesus Christ. By faith of the name of Jesus is my way and my hope. Get rid of all good feeling or confidence on the world, God is my confidence.
How?
I need the Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to cover me and leads me. By faith in the name of Jesus I can be saved.
