Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. vv.6-7

This is miraculous healing. It wasn't that he slowly started to build muscle in his legs and feet and then start baby steps but BAM! full, complete healing in the moment. This will be what healing looks like when the Kingdom of God is here and in those with gifts of healing. There will be no need for doctors and medicine and therapy just Jesus power. Notice too that his healing isn't dependent on him being a believer first. Peter acts with no explanation to him of a process but only by the name/character of Jesus Christ through faith. We do see in the next verse (v.8) that this man becomes a believer because he goes to the temple right away. His fist steps are to God! When something miraculous and joyful happens in your life where do your first steps go to?
