You Are the Miracle!

I am here to tell you that God is on the move! He is just looking for a group of people who will seek Him with all there hearts. The question is not any more “will God use me” , the question is “will I allow God to use me”. God is pouring our the next wave of His Spirit and He doesn’t care who receives it! He is saying “ALL who will let them come.” The blind, the halt, the lame, the broken, the shattered, the whole, and the holy. Anyone who will turn their hearts toward Him and forsake their old way of living, thinking, and doing things will receive this next wave. 2010 is the Year of the Miraculous! Will you allow God to use you in the miraculous? Don’t you say, “Yes if He wants to use me.” That stinks! God wants to use you, He chooses to use you and He died to use you. Don’t say things like “Well I will go if He sends me to someone.” That stinks! He sent us out as a body thousands of years ago and He has never called for us to come home and rest. Go into all the World and preach the good news of the gospel to every creature! This next wave of God’s Spirit is on all of us who will place a demand of faith upon His Spirit to do the miraculous! Lay hands on the sick, speak with new tongues, cast out devils, raise the dead, cleans the leper…. Go! Grab your surfboard, which is the Word of God and ride the wave of the supernatural! He is moving and we must move with Him. God doesn’t want to spend time getting us motivated to move with Him. He wants to speak and we move! It is our job to get the lost, the hurting, and those in need of a miracle to move. We are waisting time waiting on an appointment when God moves on you to do the miraculous. Every moment of your life you are to operate in the miraculous! At Walmart, Kroger, the hardware store, the basketball game, the day care… where ever you are should become the place of a burning bush! You are the conduit that the Spirit of God flows through to do the supernatural. Don’t become clogged up by doubt, unbelief, frustration, intimidation, lack of confidence, or any other circumstance that draws you to the natural. Go now… today… you are the life line to someones miracle!!!

2010 The Year of the Miraculous!!!

In the book of Mark chapter 6 Jesus was teaching and ministering in His own country and the people of His country would not recieve Him as who He was. They marveled at Christs wisdom and were amazed at His acts but they would not allow Him to be the Messiah so Christ’s work in that country was cut short. As a matter of fact the Bible says that “…He could do no might works there…” Why couldn’t Jesus perform miracles in His own country like He did every where else He went? Why don’t we see the miraculous and the supernatural like the church use to experience years ago? Why? Well here are a few reasons why I believe we don’t see the miraculous like God desires for us to see.

#1. Familiarity (Mark 6:2-3) “And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?” We see here how familiarity was a cause for Christ not to be able to perform the miraculous. I wander if you are missing your supernatural encounter because God has become to familiar to you. Maybe your flesh has become comfortable with your relationship with the Almighty? Maybe God can’t be God because He is your buddy…. Maybe you don’t believe Him for the miraculous because He has just become another relationship to satisfy your flesh when all the while He wants to be the God of your supernatural. God is God and He refuses to become predictable! He refuses to allow you to know what His next move is. He wants us to be close to Him and He be our friend and Father but not to the point that we allow ourselves to become so familiar with Him that we say in our hearts… “Oh thats just Jesus, the carpenters boy.” He is not just Jesus! He is the God of all creation and beyond! At His Name EVERY knee must bow and EVERY tongue must confess that He is Lord! He died to save your soul but He is alive to preform the Miraculous!

#2. Offense (Mark 6:3) “…And they were offended at him.” This is a big one that keeps us from experiencing the miraculous… offense. I wonder if you may be offended at your God? Are you upset at Him because He did show up the way you thought He should have? Maybe He didn’t deliver you the way you thought He should have. Maybe you have pulled away from God and the things of God because you have become offended at the omniscient omnipresent almighty God because He hurt your little feelings… well quit acting like you are the all knowing creator, and trust God that He knows whats best for you. Offense is the oldest and most powerful weapon in the devils arsenal! Don’t allow it to stop God’s miraculous power in your life!

#3. No Honor (Mark 6:4) “But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.” You must honor the Holy Spirit with every part of your being. He demands to be honored! Remember when Jesus was sitting with His disciples and some others in a house and a young woman came in and began to wash His feet? All the men began to rebuke the lady but what did Jesus say? Jesus rebuked them and said, I have been with you all evening and not one of you have desired to wash my feet or honor my presence. Jesus said, this woman has not quit washing my feet with her tears and drying them with her hair sense she walked into my presence. He said she has honored me and every where the gospel is preached what this woman has done shall be preached as a memorial to her. WOW! Christ partly established His legacy on the act of one woman honoring Him for Who He was not for what He could do! Love Him, bless Him, cherish Him, lay at His feet, trust Him, and honor Him… He will do the miraculous!

#4. Unbelief (Mark 6:6) “And he marvelled because of their unbelief.” You must first believe He wants to, He will, He has, and He will again!!! Believing is the first step to the miraculous. If you don’t believe He is the healer than you will never get healed. If you don’t believe He is the restorer than you will never be restored. If you don’t believe He is the savior than you will never be saved. Everything supernatural begins with belief. Unbelief cancels Gods miraculous! You must first BELIEVE and then you will see the miraculous!

#5. Doubt (Mark 11:23) says, ”For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Believing is the initial step but doubt will come to still the seed that has no root! Sometimes it is easier to initially believe but if we do not receive our miracle quickly then doubt will come and try and still our belief. We must understand that God does not exist in our time schedule. He exists in eternity but He operates in time. We must believe, until His eternity has a head on collision with our time… that is the miraculous!

#6. Analyzation (Isaiah 55:8) says, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” Miracles are supernatural… that means they are superior to your natural intellect or way of doing things. God refuses to be figured out. He will use a rod one time, a staff the next. He will speak through a bush, a donkey, a rooster, or a rock. God will do what He wants, how He wants, when He wants, and by whom He wants. God refuses to allow us in on what His complete plan is so that we have to depend on Him. Remember He is God and besides Him there is NO other! Don’t try and figure it out… just believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!

It is God’s desire in the year 2010 to perform the miraculous in our midst. But we must embrace His desire and His move. Many say that God is not into the miraculous any more because He only comanded the 12 to go out and do His work. Well lets look at what He says to them and see if that is accurate. In Mark 6:7 and 6:12&13 ) “And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits. (verses 12&13) “And they went out, and preached that men should repent. And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.” It says Jesus gave them power over unclean spirits then it tells us what they went forth and accomplished. In verse 12&13 the Bible says they preached repentance or salvation and cast out devils and healed the sick. So my question is if God was only giving His disciples this command and power then why do we continue to preach repentance because that is what they did as well. Whay do we pick up their command to preach salvation while leaving the miraculous laying on the ground of religious interpritation? Why? Why?…. I don’t know why that is why I am asking. Here is our mandate from the Father… Not just part of the command but ALL of it!

(Mark 16:15-18) Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
