Matt 17:1-9 Oxford defines "transfiguration" as: A complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state. His face shone like the sun. His clothes became "white as light." And then GOD SPOKE. So powerful. How wonderful that Peter, James and John shared in this amazing moment. God instructs them to LISTEN to Jesus. Thank you Lord for every miracle confirming you are who you say you are. Amen.

Matthew 15:29-39 Oh this is fun! Most people know about Jesus feeding the 5,000 but did you remember him feeding the 4,000. I love this miracle in the Bible TWICE. This was a miracle the people didn't even ask for...he just provided it. That's our GOD...the great provider! He always loves to go above and beyond our need. Thank you God!!!

Matt 15:21-28...what an incredible passage for parents! If you're a parent standing in the gap for your child...this episode is a powerful reminder! God is hearing your prayers for your children. Stay in faith. Be strong and persistent. Trust that God is hearing and keep believing when you see nothing changing...He's still working. He loves to rescue our kids. The faith of this mom today is inspiring and the her child was healed IMMEDIATELY. Thank you Lord for this beautiful miracle!

Mark 14:34-36 So fun and encouraging to know Jesus healed every single person who touched him! Wow! The Bible doesn't say ONLY the ones who touched Him but every person who did touch Him was healed. These verses remind us of the power of FAITH. Faith to BELIEVE God will heal. God loves to see our faith. He says it over and over in His Word. We pray that you are strengthened to BELIEVE God today for the miracles that you need in your life. He is willing and able. Thank you God for every miracle You share in Your Word that reminds to have faith for the miracles we need today!

Mark 7:31-37 is such an incredible reminder that you never know how God is going to work. Never. The deaf man was brought to the Lord and it is one of the more unusual ways Jesus healed. God may want to do something very unconventional in your life. Is that okay with you? Are you open to getting alone with Him and allowing Him to do whatever He wants to do, and change your life forever? Thank you God! His ways are not our ways! Our answer is "Yes Lord!"

Ahhhh, so many little miracles wrapped in today's reading of Matt 14:22-33. So many little nuggets of God's wisdom in this passage. From getting ALONE with God, to being afraid and the Lord understanding the fear, to having courage to jump out of the boat, to fear again...our compassionate Lord is there. May today's miracles remind you that God is with you, through every emotion. He's going to strengthen you. Hold on to Him my friend. Your miracle is coming!

What a fun miracle to talk about today! Can you imagine looking into Jesus' eyes and saying, "Well we can't feed everyone because there isn't enough food?" Do you find yourself reminding God that the miracle you need might be too much? And God is saying, "Hmmmmm, not only am I going to answer, you will have leftover!" May this miracle series encourage you to believe on a level you have never believed before! Get ready for 12 EXTRA baskets on the other side, too!

Very interesting that these two men "called out to Jesus." They wanted a miracle. After they called out, the Lord lets them know that he heard them but do they believe that he can do it? Wow. Maybe you've been praying about something for a long time, maybe you've gone through the motions but do REALLY believe God can do. Great question to ponder today. 

What an incredible story of Jesus "putting the crowd outside" and performing this beautiful miracle. Encouraging you today, put the crowd outside, get alone with Jesus and watch the miracles unfold. He longs for quiet time with you. Never let a laughing crowd bother you, Jesus had that too. Be strong friends. Miracles are on the other side of your decision to get alone with God.

This woman came behind Jesus, she knew she didn't even have to be in front of him...he was going to heal her. "Her faith made her well." God please help us to have faith like this woman. Twelve years of suffering and instantly, she was healed. No matter how much time has gone by, may we have the faith to believe God can do anything, instantly. Thank you God for the miracle and the faith of this woman!
