The Bible Story Behind Rise Up And Walk
A man who had been unable to walk from birth was carried daily to the gate of the temple called Beautiful. He depended upon the charity of those entering the temple because he had never walked.
When the man asked Peter and John for money, Peter told him to look upon them. The apostles possessed no silver or gold to offer, but Peter spoke to him in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Rise Up And Walk therefore presents the risen Lord continuing to confirm the apostolic witness through a public miracle performed in His name.
Acts 3:6 — “Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.”
Peter took the man by the hand and lifted him, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. He entered the temple walking, leaping, and praising God while the people recognized him as the man who had formerly begged at the gate. The miracle directed Israel's attention toward the same Jesus whom the nation had rejected but whom God had raised from the dead.
Physical healing showed that Jesus remained alive and powerful after His ascension, but the miracle pointed toward a greater need shared by every person. Silver and gold can't remove sin, reconcile anyone to God, or give everlasting life. Only Jesus Christ could bear our sins upon the cross, rise from the dead, and freely justify everyone who believes.
The healing confirmed the apostles' testimony concerning the risen Jesus. It isn't a promise that every believer will receive immediate physical healing now. The church's certain bodily hope is the resurrection and transformation described in 1 Corinthians 15, while everlasting life is already received through faith in Christ.

A: He loses Protect and Abundance from Patience because he is no longer damaged, but the +2 Strength and +2 Hope from Rise Up And Walk remain.

A: No. Giving Hope and Restoring Hope are different.
