Acts11:21
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
The Power, Assistance, and Working of God expressed by the Hand; which is the Organ or Instrument Men use in Working. This Hand, or Work of God was manifest: First, In the Miracles which they wrought. Secondly▪ In the Conversion of any by these Miracles. For these alone cannot soften a heart; as appeared in Pharaoh, whose heart was hardened by them.
Faith and Conversion are wrought by the Hand of the Lord, and are his Work. But in vain is Faith pretended unto, when there is no change in Heart and Life. What God hath put together, none may put asunder.
