The Miracle Worker

The Miracle Worker
Hebrews 13:8

    The Bible teaches that we serve an unchanging God.  Malachi the prophet wrote these words in Malachi 3:6.  “For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”  When everything around us is changing at an accelerated pace the Lord we love and serve does not change.

    The news today is filled with rapid changes.  The rise and fall of regimes, economic and political changes.  The economy is good and then it is bad, but the God we serve never changes, and He never fails.  Man may fail you!  But God will never fail you.

    Hebrews 13:8 offers these encouraging words, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”  We serve an unchanging God.  His love, His mercy, and His purpose have never changed.  The Lord Jesus Christ came to this earth for a purpose.  That purpose is found throughout the pages of the New Testament.  Here are a few of the Scriptures that define His purpose and mission:
  • Matthew 18:11 – “For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.”
  • Luke 9:56 – “for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.”
  • Luke 19:10 – “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
  • Luke 4:18-19 – “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, verse 19 – To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”

    Throughout the four Gospels in the early pages of the New Testament Jesus Christ performed many miracles:  He healed the sick; restored the broken; and redeemed the lost from destruction. He is the Miracle Worker and He longs to bring you into an encounter with His miraculous power today.
  
God uses supernatural signs and wonders to reveal His love and point us to salvation.  When miracles take place it is to manifest God’s glory.  God always confirms His word with great power.  He loves to show His handiwork on your behalf.
 
 Do you need His miraculous intervention today?  Do you need freedom from bondage in your life?  Are you troubled by a besetting sin?  Jesus Christ is still the miracle worker, but I must caution you today; do not seek for miracles, but seek after the one who works miracles.  Many want His benefits and seek only for blessings, but we must desire the One who blesses.  When you find the blesser you will have His blessings.
  
He loves you today more than you realize and He stands ready to meet your every need.  All you have to do is to call out His name.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
