Tactical Maneuver
John 8:6 “This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.” [KJV]
I have taken steps that if God did not come through, I would have died. But God came through. You cannot buy the Holy Ghost with money. Simon the sorcerer saw what was happening and he offered to give Stephen and Peter money in exchange for the power to work miracles. Their response to him is as true today as it was in his day; you cannot buy the Holy Ghost with money. I had to sit down under Pastor Sam and learn what he was doing. I had to learn that the Holy Spirit is the source of miracles and that when it comes to faith, having a plan B negates your faith. What do you need to know and who do you need to learn from?
Body Of Evidence
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The Holy Spirit Is The Source of Miracles. You must prioritize your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Earlier on in my walk with God, I believed that God was powerful but I had my reservations about the “miracle thing”. I had seen my mother and my grandmother pray and things happened. It was not that I did not trust the Pastors that God was using to work the miracles. But when people testified of miracles, I just felt they were being over-zealous. That was how much of God I knew and understood at that time. Things are very different now.
Be Aware II
Psa.34:7 “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them” [NKJV].
Imagine you living daily with the consciousness and realization of the fact that angels surround you. Everybody has angels, we have different numbers of angels, we have different hierarchy of angels but everybody has angels. The number and hierarchy depend on your assignment. For some people, because of their assignment, if God does not give them angels, demons will kill them. I cannot afford to backslide because there are so many demons waiting to kill me. God needs to give me extra reinforcement because I’m always looking for trouble. So it depends on your assignment.
Be Aware I
Ps.104:3 “You lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds. You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind. 4 The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants”
2 Kings 6:15 “When the servant of the man of God got up early the next morning and went outside, there were troops, horses, and chariots everywhere. “Oh, sir, what will we do now?” the young man cried to Elisha. Elisha said something very significant. 2 Kings 6:16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” [with emphasis]. If I were that man I would have said, “Sir, it is just you and me standing here and the armies outside are in their hundreds. How can you say there are more on our side?”
The Lord’s Side
2 Kings 6: 16 “Don’t be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” 17 Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see…” [with emphasis]
You are not alone. There is much more to you than meets the ordinary eye and you need to begin to walk in this consciousness. David looked at Goliath and said, you are coming to me with spear and sword. You do not even know anything. The people that are behind me are the Host of Heaven. I have come to you in the Name of the Lord of Hosts, whose army you have defied. In other words, David was saying – there are three armies in this battle. There are the philistine armies of which Goliath is their champion and he is standing in the valley. There are the armies of Israel of which Saul is their champion and he is hiding in the tent. I, David have come to represent the armies of heaven and I am going to cut your head.
Working Miracles
John 4:40 “When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay in their village. So He stayed for two days, 41 long enough for many more to hear His message and believe”
In the western world, their parents labored and they paid a huge price for the gospel. It is the fruit of that labor that their children are enjoying today. But the children are turning their backs on God and it is simply arrogance. Guess what? Their own children will suffer because they are not working the miraculous roots. It is not a curse, it is not even a prophecy; it is just the writing on the wall.
Roots Then Fruits
Jn.14:12 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.”
There are two dimensions when it comes to the miraculous. Two dimensions we must be aware of and they are: the miraculous roots and the miraculous fruits. The two are indispensable. However, the miraculous roots must happen for there to be miraculous fruits. The miraculous fruits happen when you are doing the right things, for example – praying and giving. On the surface it will appear as though nothing is happening. But you are performing a miracle; it is called the miraculous roots.
Rejoicing Follows
Act 8: 7 “Many evil spirits were cast out, screaming as they left their victims. And many who had been paralyzed or lame were healed. 8 So there was great joy in that city”
This year you will have great joy and God will bring great joy to people through you, in Jesus Name. Please read Acts 8:4-8, the Bible says that because of the miracles in the city, there was great joy. Because of the miracles that Jesus will work through you, there will be great joy in your city. That is what God wants for you. God wants to work miracles through you. Do you receive that today?
Rejoice Because… II
Rom.5:11 “So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God” [with emphasis].
You are going to rejoice because the Lord will rescue you, God will bless the works of your hands, God will give you answers for your enemies, your giving will be wholeheartedly, and because God will reign over you. 1 Chr.16:31 “Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Make a list in your prayer journal of all these things that have been spoken into your life so that you can connect with everything that has been spoken over you. It was not just spoken because I had a good idea. I was led to speak. And in your devotion time, bring the list before God with rejoicing and watch what He will do.
