MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

Mark 4: 39
And He arose and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

JESUS SPOKE AND IT WAS SO; SPEAK THE WORD AND MIRACLES FLOW

When JESUS speaks, creation responds. JESUS is the Word of GOD spoken and lived. All created things respond to His Word. JESUS is GOD incarnate; He was before, is now and will be forever; Almighty GOD.

God is our provider; GOD is our healer; GOD is our deliverer; He is true and His word is true. In Verse 40 of Mark 4, JESUS asks two questions in His response to the Disciples terror, ask yourself these two questions: Why are you so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?

Nights of terror, when the wind and the waves of circumstances pound at your little boat of life, do you see JESUS in your boat? Do your know that when He is in the boat, no harm can come to you? Is your faith in JESUS a faith of "believing that He can" or is it "knowing that He will". Most of us believe that JESUS can do all things and has the power to do mighty things, that is one step of faith. Do we go on to the deeper faith of knowing that JESUS will do mighty things for us when we ask?

I challenge you to join me in going deeper into the profound faith of knowing that JESUS will not allow our little boat to sink in the storm. Know that He will arise and rebuke the wind and say "Peace, be still" and there will be a calm.

Faith is not only believing that JESUS can, but knowing that He will.

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

I Corinthians 2: 4, 5
My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on GOD's power.

Romans 15: 18, 19
I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey GOD by what I have said and done - by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

SIGNS AND MIRACLES CONFIRM THAT JESUS HAS ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY.

It is only in the power and authority of JESUS that any conversions to the Living Way of GOD can be accomplished. JESUS is the only way to the Father; JESUS is the only truth and the only Life. We can preach and teach the Good News of the Gospel in our own unique way, but it is the Power of JESUS by His Spirit that bring about Salvation. Those words"what Christ has accomplished through me" stand as the real truth of mission and ministry. Look around at the great teachers and preachers and you will see the mighty work of GOD through them. The books they write, the Crusades they lead, the programs they produce are all vehicles for the LORD to move in the hearts and lives of people. Many people hear for the first time the Good News of GOD in Christ JESUS and they fall on their face before JESUS and worship Him.

Signs and wonders, healing and miracles are the way that GOD confirms that all authority and power are given to JESUS for the salvation of the souls of men. JESUS defeated death, rose from the grave, ascended into heaven and makes intercession for all the saints of GOD. There is no lack of power in the hand of JESUS, He has ALL power and authority.

FAITH IS NOT ONLY BELIEVING THAT GOD CAN; BUT KNOWING THAT GOD WILL save, keep, forgive, heal, restore, Redeem, justify, sanctify and glorify those who call upon His Name. HIS PROMISES ARE YEA AND AMEN.

BELIEVE HIM

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

Acts 2: 21, 22
And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the Name of the LORD shall be saved. Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of GOD among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which GOD did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know.

MIRACLES TESTIFY THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

John 20:30, 31 says: And many other signs truly did JESUS in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these were written, that ye might believe that JESUS is the Christ, the Son of GOD; and that believing ye might have life through His Name.

Signs, wonders and miracles testify to the fact that JESUS is the Son of GOD. Look at your life, do you see any miracles? Write them down and sit and recall the time of the miracle, what happened, and who saw the miracle. Keep a journal of the miracles of JESUS is your life, so that you will never forget that JESUS is working His miracles today through yielded vessels of His. JESUS is the miracle worker.

Never forget that the first great miracle in your life is to be born again. JESUS made this possible for us by His life, death and ascension to the right hand of the Father. When we are born again, we are a new creation, old things are passed away, behold all things become new. Forget all that is behind and press forward toward the mark of the high calling of GOD in Christ JESUS.

The great miracle of Salvation sets us free to bring all souls to Christ by our witness of unconditional love. We are surrounded by the miracles of GOD; many do not notice them. We have the sight to point these miracles out to those who are blind. The fact that JESUS loves us totally, is so overwhelming that it is hard to grasp. Reach out and grasp His Hand and feel the flow of His love for you, then reach out your hand to another and give the miracle of love to them.

Signs, wonders and miracles testify that JESUS is the Son of GOD so that all might believe and have life through Him.

WINNING SOULS

Mark 16: 19, 20
So then, after the LORD had spoken unto them, He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of GOD. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the LORD working with them, and confirming the Word with signs following. Amen.

THE ASCENDED LORD WORKS WITH US

The words in these verses should strengthen the ministry of every person who reads them. JESUS, who now sits at the Right Hand of GOD works with us to confirm His Word with signs following. We are not the ones who work miracles; JESUS works through us to bear witness to the truth of His Word and confirms that witness with signs and wonders. He also confirms all of prophecy; Matthew 8: 17 says: "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah, the prophet, saying, 'He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sickness."

Everything that JESUS said, will come to pass. Everyone who believes on His Name will testify of His greatness in the Land of the Living and will glorify Him for all eternity. The Word of GOD says so, JESUS confirms His Word through dynamic demonstrations of His Love and power.

Do you want a miracle in your life? Ask JESUS and then believe that you have received it. Trust in the Almighty power of the Living GOD to do what He has promised.

JESUS IS LORD

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

Hebrews 2: 4
GOD also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with diverse miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his own will?

This passage is at the beginning of a Chapter on Salvation, the gift and grace of GOD. JESUS is the confirmation of the will of GOD that all men be saved and their house. JESUS made the way for us to be reconciled to GOD and He tasted death so that we might not die, but have everlasting life.

JESUS confirmed the will of GOD and signs and wonders; healing and miracles confirm the truth that what JESUS said is true. We also have that confirmation when we proclaim the Gospel, signs and wonders, healing and miracles follow those who minister in His Name.

Notice the last words of this verse in Hebrews "according to His own will". It is the will of GOD that causes the Great outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the conversion of souls to JESUS. The whole Godhead is at work in power to bring to Salvation, whosoever will come. This is the great desire of GOD and it is the great desire of all who love and follow the LORD. Signs and wonders, miracles and healing will support and confirm the Gospel Message.

RENEW, NOW, YOUR PASSION FOR LOST SOULS TO BE SAVED

MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

I CORINTHIANS 12:28
And GOD hath set some in the Church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers; after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diverse tongues.

MIRACLES ARE FOR TODAY AND HAPPEN

What is a miracle? I have heard one definition of a miracle: "It is GOD creating something new, where before there was nothing." I like that definition, because the focus is in the right place, on GOD. GOD, alone, performs miracles. He may use a person as a vehicle of His power, flowing out of Him through them to the person in need, but ALL MIRACLES COME FROM GOD.

The greatest miracle of all, is the miracle of Salvation. To be born again is really
an awesome miracle, a demonstration of the Grace of GOD. I love the saying: "we had a debt we couldn't pay; JESUS paid the debt He didn't owe." JESUS bought us back from death, He laid down His life so that we might be reconciled to GOD through his Blood. We, who are born again, have received the greatest miracle there is, a new life in Christ JESUS.

Miracles do happen, many souls are born again today and every day. If one of the readers of this blog is not born again, come to JESUS and receive your miracle. "Believe on the LORD JESUS Christ and you shall be saved, and your house." Confess JESUS as your LORD, and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead; confess your sins unto almighty GOD and He will forgive you all your sins; yield your life to the only one who is trustworthy to keep, in total safety, that which you have committed unto Him. JESUS is LORD of all, trust in Him and be safe and secure forever in His Love.

SALVATION IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE FROM GOD

WINNING SOULS

The Acts 16: 30b-32
What must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the LORD JESUS Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spoke unto him the Word of the LORD, and to all that were in his house.

PRAY FOR A DOOR OF UTTERANCE TO OPEN AND SALVATION TO COME TO ALL IN THE HOUSE.

We are always to be aware, in season and out of season, for the door of utterance to open, signifying that the person is ready to hear the Good News. When the door opens, the ground has been prepared, by the Holy Spirit, to receive the Word of the LORD and be saved. It is the will of the Father that all people be saved. We are the life-line for that to happen.

I am inspired by these words to intensify my preparation of the Gospel message from the Word of the LORD, so that any time the question,"What must I do to be saved?" is asked, I will be ready with the answer. The answer is very simple and people who ask want a very profound and simple answer; "Believe on the LORD JESUS Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."

We all want our household to be saved. We all want our friends to be saved. Do we want our enemies to be saved? GOD did, and so should we. "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). We must love the enemies so much that we are ready to bring the Good News of the Gospel to them at any time. Remember, It is the will of GOD that all might be saved.

PRAY FOR THE DOOR OF UTTERANCE TO OPEN AND ALL PEOPLE HEAR THE GOOD NEWS AND BE SAVED. PRAY THIS DAILY.
