The Bible contains many examples of the miracles of God, in the Old Testament as well as in the New Testament. These miracles amaze us and sometimes we wonder why we do not see evidences of God's miracles today like there were back in Biblical times.
Could be you are not looking with the wonderment of a child at all of the beauty and order of Creation; the instinct of the birds and the industrious ant which stores its food (Proverbs 30:25 and Proverbs 6:6-8). All of this and more should wake us up to the amazing God we serve, and to His great love and mercy toward mankind.
Following is a beautiful song that praises God for His miracles, and tells us that to even be alive and living is a miracle:
Following is a beautiful song that praises God for His miracles, and tells us that to even be alive and living is a miracle:
One miracle was the Savior who bore our sins, who took our place on the cross and paid our sin debt in full when he died in our place at calvary and made salvation possible for all who would put their faith in Him and believe in His resurrection.
Not to mention How Jesus always existed in heaven before the miracle of the virgin birth. How He was God and became a man out of His great love to redeem mankind.
Another miracle is the time the sun stood still at Joshua's command to enable him to fight a victorious battle with an enemy. (Joshua 10:12-14).
The Resurrection of Jesus was another miracle (Luke 24:1-7). And Jesus and His disciples raised others back to life, as well as did the prophets in the Old Testament.
There were miracles over nature, such as the parting of the Red Sea. (Exodus 14).
There are many, many more miracles shared in the Bible that can truly make us to be in awe of our Creator when we dwell on His care for us, and for which we can be grateful for His provisions and for the Savior, Jesus Christ. What I want to share now is the good Lord's miracles of healing.
I recently had been diagnosed with a serious health issue and needed an operation. Right before surgery I underwent a physical exam to insure that I was healthy enough to go through with the operation. I failed the EKG and the surgery was postponed until I underwent a "stress test" for my heart. In the meantime, one more image was taken of the affected area of my body. Also, for some time my pastor and my church family had been praying for my health, and for a healing. When the results came in from the latest image, there was no abnormality, nothing at all showed up on the image !! God had healed me ! No surgery for me, as the Great Physician had done all the work - the miracle. Praise the Lord! All the glory belongs to Him.
I praise and give glory to God for His tender mercies. I am grateful to my pastor for his prayers, and grateful to the caring and loving church family who had also been praying for me.
Yes, God/Jesus are still causing miracles to happen in our day and age. One of the greatest miracles is the gift of salvation to rebellious sinners. The good Lord does this miracle everyday, by granting forgiveness to a repentant sinner and by granting him life and sealing him as a child of God. Praise the Lord !
Often I tell you friends of how close we are to the return of Jesus and the Rapture of the church.....the true believers in Jesus Christ, the Savior. When He comes to take us to heaven, will you be ready? You will be if you have been born again and surrendered your life and your will to the good Lord ! We have a blessed hope!
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ." - Titus 2:13
What if you are not saved? Then the blessed hope does not apply to you and you will spend all of eternity in hell.
But it is not too late for you to repent and to turn to Jesus in faith!
Admit you are a sinner and in need of a Savior.
Believe in Jesus and in His redemptive work at Calvary. Believe also in His resurrection.
Call on the name of the Lord....commit your life to Jesus and confess your sins.
You are then a child of God!All this must come from your heart and not be a mere intellectual acknowledgement of Jesus as the Savior. If you are born again and have true faith in Christ, you are a new creation....a brand new person and sealed with the Holy Spirit.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are past away; behold, all things are become new." - 2 Corinthians 5:17
Romans 10:9,10,13 tells us (9) "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Let us praise God every day for His many miracles. Let us come to Him in a spirit of love and gratitude for all He has done for us. I constantly thank Him for the recent healing in my body, and for all of His many blessings .
Following is a hymn that I listen to every morning and which many of you are familiar with. It is a praise for how great God is.
