Acts 3:1-10 (NIV)

One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayers at three in the afternoon.
2 Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts.
3 When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
4 Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”
5 So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
6 Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”
7 Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful,and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Acts 4:1-4(NIV)

The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people.
2 They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people, proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead.
3 They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day.
4 But many who heard the message believed; so the number of men who believed grew to about five thousand.

Apostle Peter and John were ordained by their master Jesus Christ the Messiah to reach out to the lost and bring them back to the original nature of God.

To accomplish this task he gave the authority over the enemy.

Luke 10:19 (KJV)

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Why giving them power? It was because He Jesus Christ knew there will be enemies to try to hinder.

Destiny achievers know there are Giants to conquer. But the master has made available enormous power that can subdue every opposition.

Peter and John encountered the opposition authority for changing the Destiny of a lame man. Just yesterday a visiting pastor said to me that "you do not necessarily have to do something wrong to draw attention of enemies.

They healed the lame man that have been at the gate begging for a long time and the people were happy. That
Is all to get them a jail term.

This same happens in other areas of life where some people's destinies were about to change. You begin to experience stumbling blocks, even from the ones from "close associates".

The battle for destiny changing is not for weak minds. A clear and well defined purpose is a driving force towards changing destinies.

If it is not difficult then it can not be miraculous.
