MIRACLES

I was on a boat cruise with some friends along a beautiful river.


MIRACLES

Imagine seeing miracles happen on a daily basis in our homes and neighborhood. We often think miracles can only occur during big events, healing meetings or in stadiums crowded with multitudes of people. God desires us to believe that He can move anywhere: a rally of thousands or in a room with just a handful of people. I have conducted many healing meetings over the years; sometimes the most amazing healings took place with a small group at someone’s home. God wants us to believe that He can move powerfully, no matter the environment. God can move in homes or in big gatherings of people. Read Mark 1:29-34

Mark 1:29-34 (New International Version)

Jesus Heals Many

As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew. 30 Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus about her. 31 So he went to her, took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her and she began to wait on them. That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. 33 The whole town gathered at the door, 34 and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.

I love this revival story because one miracle that happened at Simon's home caused the whole town to bring the sick for healing. Jesus prayed for Simon's mother-in-law and she was instantly healed from her fever. The words about this miracle quickly spread throughout the town and they brought more of their sick to Jesus for healing. It only took one miracle by Jesus to multiply into more miracles. I pray that we will pursue a life of miracles because we have a miraculous God. Allow God to perform miracles through us wherever we go.

COMPASSION

COMPASSION

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a slum and meet its inhabitants. I went into a small room packed with people. They patiently waited for me to bring God's Word. I shared about God's love and prayed for every person in the room. The people were so happy that someone would visit their humble homes and pray for their needs. There was a big round of applause at the end of the meeting. I did not realise that my presence meant so much to them. All I did was just listen to their needs and prayed for God's blessing upon their lives. I took a few hours of my time and it made a difference in their lives. Jesus reached out to the disadvantaged and the hurting during his three-year ministry on earth. He showed compassion and love to those who were suffering and neglected by others. Read Matthew 8:1-3.

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy

When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy[a] came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. (Matthew 8:1-3)

No one came near a leprous person because it was an infectious disease; sufferers were declared unclean by religious law. However, Jesus heard the desperate cry of this poor leper. He reached out to touch and heal him. Jesus broke down all social and religious barriers to demonstrate God's unconditional love to this man. Let us use Jesus as our example to show love and compassion to the hurting around us. Let us bring hope and a smile on someone's face.

POWER IN THE NAME

I always enjoy going to Philip Island for a conference. The beaches are beautiful on Philip Island. I took some photos with Ps Mark on the beach. He showed me the places where he used to do surfing. I also attempted the giant swing for the first time. I learnt to overcome my fear of height on the giant swing. It was so fun to swing at high speed in the giant swing.


Power in the name

There is power in the name of Jesus. God desires believers to exercise authority in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus has authority over sickness and evil spirits. As we pray in the name of Jesus, God will unleash His power and miracles. Let us believe God to perform miracles and breakthroughs in the name of Jesus. Read Phil 2:5-11

Philippians 2:5-11 (New International Version)

5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

A MIRACLE VIDEO

I like watching this miracle story of a man who was healed by God. He was a crippled man and now he is able to walk normally. It is good to know that God is alive and miracles still happen today. Glory to God!

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Luke 10:9
