I called it the disciples, the donkey and the deliverer: the disciples, the donkey and the deliverer. If, if I'm a disciple, if you're a disciple, and you hear that instruction, most of you are like me because I haven't made any space for the Lord in my life. Think about the characteristics of the- I'm G to say- cult right now, because every time I say donkey, I think of a million different things: this cult.

And then this man goes into the temple, when he hadn't been able to beforehand, and he Praises God inside the temple, likely for the first time in his life, and in verse 10. When all the people saw him walking in praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the Temple Gate, called beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. I want to talk to you today about The Wonder of a miracle.

Peter had no silver or gold and gave the man at the Beautiful Gate what he did have. A church without every program, perfect lighting, or full staffing can still say the same thing. The man's first move after standing was into the temple to worship, which is what deliverance is for. Day one only requires starting.

But at the same time, I wanted to be vulnerable with you, because that is something that has impacted me significantly throughout my life. It's not bad for us to add stuff to our life, but so often we find ourselves culturally add, because we start doing something and then we're like squirrel I, I should do that too. God added the Holy Spirit to his disciples and God will add something special of value to your life.

But there is something you don't see that stands against you, that is trying to prevent you from apprehending the character of God and is calling on your life. What I am saying is: whatever that was played a part in getting you here, and I want to tell you this: some of the things in your life that you hated, they had to happen that the Scripture might be fulfilled in your life. I just gave you a few Scriptures here about how man, if this Scripture is going to be fulfilled in your life, then it looks like the enemy is going to keep prowling, so that God can guard against the enemy.

He is the Messiah of the Lord, and it says this: this will be a sign to you or for you, that you will find a baby wrapped in cloths in a Manger. I'm Not Looking In A Manger, I'm not looking in a cave, I'm not looking for some basic white linens and I'm not looking for a baby when I'm looking for the Messiah. The sign was a baby wrapped in Linens lying in a Manger.
