I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 19th of March, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.

We start in the Book of Acts 3:6-8:

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.”  

Then we go to verse 8:

“So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God.”

Ja, I’m laughing because, oh, oh, my dear friend, I love Jesus so much. I have had the privilege and the honour of seeing many, many miracles with my own eyes. Now, that man had been lame from his mother's womb. He had never walked in his life before and they laid him at the temple gate everyday to pick up alms, which is money gifts so that he could live, and he had asked Peter and John for money and they said, “Silver and gold we do not have, but in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

We have a very special saying here at Shalom: one genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons. Isn’t that right? You can’t dispute a miracle. The man was lame from birth. He never walked in his life. He jumped up and he started leaping and walking and praising God.

I remember, we had a crusade. It was a big tent, and we were bussing in people every single night, and the crowd was growing because people were being healed and set free. I remember us hanging a wheelchair from the roof of the tent as evidence that a lady had been supernaturally healed. There was a Sikh of the Sikh faith, he had a turban on, a very dignified man, and the Sikhs, they don’t cut their hair, and they brought him to the front and onto the platform when they saw the miracles that were taking place, and they said, ”This man cannot speak, he is mute, he is dumb, he cannot talk and he wants you to pray for him.” I said, ”No problem.” So we prayed over him. I anointed him with oil in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then I laid my hands on him and I said, ”In Jesus name, be healed.” I took the microphone, I put it to his mouth and I said to him, ”Say Jesus.” He opened his mouth and he said, ”Jesus.” The crowd went berserk. They all knew him. 

One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons. Folks, go out and pray for the sick and Jesus will raise them up. 

God bless you and have a wonderful day. 
Goodbye.
