"This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him." John 2:11

Miracles are one way Jesus manifests His Glory. These manifestations also inspire disciples to believe. They have an intended purpose to satisfy the hungry, but they are not for the purpose of flamboyance or to gratify the curious.

Miracles can be worked only in an atmosphere of hunger, expectation, humility, and obedience as our expression of faith. (Just as Mary told the servants at the wedding, "Whatever Jesus tells you to do, just do it!")

This message outlines several accounts of Jesus working miracles, and how Jesus provoked people to express their faith in a specific way. When He does this in our lives, it's always to draw us to a higher level of expectation, and not limiting our expectation of what we can see or handle with our natural mind. Through simple obedience to the unction within, or instruction through a minister of the gospel, we are able to release our supernatural faith and cooperate in the working of miracles.

The carnal mind, self centered, and religious never express genuine hunger or expectation; their pride robs them of the opportunity to work miracles. This is why Jesus often rebuked them for their hard heartedness, and even shut them out of the room when He performed miracles.

The working of miracles is a gift of the Holy Spirit and is freely available to any believer. It only requires is a humble heart, obedience to faith, and a confidence that Jesus is able and willing to do exceeding and abundantly above all we ask or think.

We cannot allow ourselves to be discouraged or hard-hearted about the conditions in the World. Jesus has sent us out to preach the Good News of the Gospel to all the world. The Gospel of Jesus Christ IS THE Power of God unto salvation for all who believe. We have been given the answer that the World needs.

Not only have we been commissioned to preach the Gospel, but the Lord as promised to work with us, and confirm the Word of the gospel with signs following.

These signs include healing the sick, casting out devils, and authority over death. We must be bold in our faith in Jesus that He will confirm the Word ministered in faith.

We are witnesses of His goodness and His saving grace. Our testimony provides evidence that He is alive. God desires that we stir ourselves in the confidence in Him, and faith to see people hungry for Him - a field ripe for harvesting.

Don't Let Go of Your Holding on.

"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." - James 5:16

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:1-6

“Therefore I say unto you, take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

“Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Therefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘Wherewith shall we be clothed?’

(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek.) For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

Matthew 6:25-34

The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want. - Psalm 23:1

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Philippians 4:6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
