THREE REASONS JESUS DIDN’T DO MIRACLES

  1. JESUS REFUSED TO PERFORM MIRACLES TO PROVE HIMSELF.

  2. Mark 8:9-13 After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha. 11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.


    2. JESUS REFUSED TO PERFORM MIRACLES THAT INTERFERED WITH GOD’S ULTIMATE PLAN. 


    Matthew 26:53-54 NLT “Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? 54 But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?” 


    3. JESUS REFUSED TO PERFORM MIRACLES WHERE THERE WAS NO FAITH.


    Mark 5:34 … “Daughter, your faith has healed you. … 

    Luke 17:19 … “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”  

    Mark 10:52 “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” … 

    Mark 9:24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” 

    Matthew 17:14-20 14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

    17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

    19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” 20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

    Mark 9:18-24

    Luke 11:9-10 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

    3 STEPS TO PERSISTENT PRAYER:

    • ASK- SEEK-KNOCK

      • CONTINUOUS ACTION

      • Luke 11:5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your SHAMELESS AUDACITY he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
