Believing for a Miracle?
Luke 2:37Nothing is impossible with God
Most people believe God performs miracles.But do you believe God will perform a miracle for you?The Bible says a lot about miraclesHere is what I have learned about remembering, listening, and believing for miracles.
REMEMBER A MIRACLE
2 Chron 16:12Remember the miracles he performed, the amazing things he did.
God tells us and wants us to remember the miracles He has done for us. This causes us to feel grateful, happy, and it increases our faith to ask for another miracle.Grab a cup of coffee, your favorite Bible, and sit down with the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to remind you of the past miracles God has done for you. Write them down and spend time telling God how thankful you are for giving you a miracle.
Eph 3:20Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
LISTEN TO GOD TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE MIRACLE HE HAS ARRANGED FOR YOU
Neh 9:17They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them.
Luke 1:37For no word from God will ever fail.
The best way to hear God speak to you...is to get alone, pray, and read the Bible until something speaks to your spirit. God talks to us by His Spirit speaking to our spirit through His Word. Spend some time listening to Jesus and hear what He is saying about your miracle.
BELIEVE THAT GOD CAN DO MIRACLES
Mark 9:23Everything is possible for one who believes.
Matt 13:58And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
God is still honoring His promise to do miracles.It is our job to believe for the miracle.It is God’s job to perform the miracle.
Ps 77: 14You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
WAITING FOR A MIRACLE
Job 5:8-9But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted
Habakkuk 2:2.“It will come. Wait for it.”
Every miracle has a waiting period.Waiting for God to perform the miracle is the hardest part.Most of us give up during the waiting period.
FOUR WAYS TO ENCOURAGE YOURSELF TO WAIT FOR A MIRACLE
#1: Never Give Up. Keep Waiting for the Miracle. Keep Expecting the Miracle. Tell Yourself, “I Will NOT Give Up”!
Hab 2:3At the time I have decided, my words will come true. You can trust what I say about the future. It may take a long time, but keep on waiting--it will happen
#2: PRAY and THANK God for the Miracle daily. Pray. Pray!
1 Thess 2:17-18Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you...
#3: Read your Bible to strengthen your faith. Faith comes from hearing the Word.
Rom 10:17Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
# 4: Share the miracle you are believing God to perform in your life with your Friend Group. Ask them to pray with you for a miracle.
Ecc 4:9-10You are better having a friend than to be all alone, because then you will get more enjoyment out of what you earn. If you fall, your friend can help you up. But if you fall without having a friend nearby, you are really in trouble.
Believe God to give you a miracle.YES! You are close to a Miracle!Love you,Pastor Tami
