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.
