Work Miracles or Don’t Work Miracles…..
To Be or Not To Be…..

Acts 8:6 KJV
“And the people with one
accord gave heed unto
those things which 
Philip spake, hearing and 
seeing the miracles which 
he did.” 

Acts 8:6 NIV
“When the crowds heard
Philip and saw the signs 
he performed, they all
paid close attention to
what he said.” 

Hebrews 2:4 KJV
“God also bearing them witness,
both with signs and wonders,
and with divers miracles,
and gifts of the Holy Ghost,
according to His own will.”

Hebrews 2:4 NIV
“God also testified to it 
by signs, wonders and 
various miracles, and 
by gifts of the Holy 
Spirit distributed 
according to His will.” 

Above are just 2 examples of God 
working miracles through His 
children in the beginning of the 
New Testament Church….

These early churches were
more like street ministries than
organized services.

People were saved, delivered, healed 
and fed. Miracles happened a lot. 
There were no doubts in the hearts 
and minds of the original men and 
women of God. They knew that God’s 
power was real. They desired, hungered,
and thirsted after God, His 
Righteousness and His Holy 
Supernatural Power. 

“In the making of every miracle are
Faith, Obedience and the Willingness
to take a risk. These represent for
you the three hurdles that you must
overcome: Doubt, Fear, and thinking
you know it all.” 
Written By: Tommy Barnett

If God is the same yesterday, today
and forever…. then the modern 
day church has no excuse for not 
seeing miracles in their congregations.

No excuses, except being more worldly
than holy.
More legalistic than faithful.
More man–made doctrine based than
Biblically based teachings. 
More seeker–friendly and politically–correct

instead of seeking God and 
His Righteousness.

We are a very self-centered, and selfish 
culture. 
We seek and demand instant gratification. 
We want miracles and blessings from
God, without repentance, prayer,
listening, yielding, and obeying 
what God tells us to do in His Holy
Anointed Word. 
We make idols out of pop stars, 
sports stars and other type of celebrities, 
as well as ourselves.
“Idol” simply means anything we put above
God. 
We put ourselves and our fleshly desires
above God and What God wants.

“I suppose it would be much easier
to reduce everything to formulas, but
that’s not how it works with God….
If there is any formula….at all…..
it is that Obedience to the Lord
is the Essential Ingredient for the 
Making of a Miracle.” 
Written By: Tommy Barnett

God created miracles from Genesis to Revelation….

Genesis and Exodus are full of Miracles
2 Chronicles 7:14
2 Chronicles 20:1-30

Matthew, Luke, John and Acts are full of 
Miracle after Miracle

Do yourself a favor and look up the Miracles 
in both the Old and New Testaments. See for
yourself how God desires to bless His children
with safety, health, love, food, shelter as well
as prosperity….
See for yourself how God longs to have a 
one on one relationship with His children.  

God is willing to use each of us…..if we will 
seek Him. 
Matthew 6:33 KJV
“But seek ye first the Kingdom
of God, and His righteousness;
and all these things shall be 
added unto you.” 

John 14:12 KJV
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, 
He that believeth on Me, the
works that I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go 
unto the Father.”  

From Genesis to Revelation God is calling 
His people, Jew and Gentile alike, to Holiness. 

God is looking for sold–out believers.
God is looking for surrendered believers.
God is looking for humble but bold 
believers.
God is looking for repented believers.
God is looking for faithful believers.
God is looking for prayer warriors.
God is looking for devoted followers.
God is looking for determined followers. 

God is looking for men, women and even
children who trust in Him and believe His 
Holy Promises. 
God is looking for followers who are willing
 to go out and Pour out into the community
the Holy Anointing from the Holy 
Spirit.
Not just preaching the gospel…but living 
the gospel. 
God is looking for modern day men and 
women to go forth teaching, preaching the 
gospel of Jesus Christ, as well as walking 
in all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. 
With souls being saved, delivered, healed,
fed, clothed, discipled.

Joel 2:28 KJV
“And it shall come to pass afterward, 
that I will pour out My Spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and your 
daughters shall prophesy, your
old men shal dream dreams, your
young men shall see visions.” 

Acts 2:17 KJV
“And it shall come to pass in the last
days, saith God, I will pour out of My 
Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, 
and your young men shall see visions, 
and your old men shall dream dreams.” 

Are you willing to seek out God’s Righteousness
and His Spiritual purpose for your life?

Are you willing to let go of your selfish desires
and seek out God’s Holy Will for your life?

Are you willing to let go of self and seek God 
through Fasting and Prayer?

Will you allow God to use you as a Holy Vessel
to pray for hurting and sick souls? 

Will you be a willing vessel for the Holy
Spirit to work through? 

My prayer for you today is simply this…..
Let Go and Let God!
That there will be less of you and more
of Jesus!
That you fall in love with Jesus so much
that you can’t help but share Him with 
everyone you come into contact with.
That you hunger and thirst for righteousness. 
That you become a vessel filled with the
Holy Spirit walking in all the Spiritual 
Gifts.

Much love and prayers to each of you dear ones.

Dearest Heavenly Father; 

Lord, You have revealed to me that 
I, too, have been called to share Jesus 
with others. 

Lord, You have revealed to me that 
it is not my Pastor’s job to do all 
the witnessing and ministering. 

Lord, You have revealed to me that 
I am meant to love those that the 
world throws away. 

Lord, You have revealed to me that 
You want me to seek to be more 
Christ–like in my daily walk.

Lord, You have ask the question….

“whom shall I send?” 

Father, I answer…..“send me Lord!”

Lord, You do not call those who are 
equipped to do great things….

Lord, You equip the willing and 
yielding saints to do Your Holy
Kingdom’s work as You desire.

Lord, thank You for showing me that
I, too, with all my flaws and weaknesses,
am called to share Jesus with my 
fellow mankind. 

Holy Father, help me to seek first 
Your righteousness. 

Holy Father, bless me with Your
Holy Wisdom to walk by faith,
not by sight. 

Father, bless me with Holy 
discernment to know who is
around me that needs the 
love of Christ in their life. 

Lord, direct my footsteps to 
the person today that needs 
a hug from You, my King. 

Father, show me how to pray 
for those who are hurting and lost.

Lord, show me how to be a better
witness for You, my Lord. 

Lord, show me, guide me into 
the spiritual purpose of my life. 

Lord, reveal to me the reason 
You created me. 

Father, it is my prayer that I 
only yield to the Holy Spirit’s 
guidance.

Lord, I pray that You write 
Your Holy Anointed Words 
on the tablets of my heart.
So that it may flow out of my
mouth and spirit as living 
water.

God, my words can, and do,
come back void….
but Your words can never
come back void. 

Father, use me anyway You
desire. 

I yield to You, my Lord. 
I submit to You, my King.
I surrender to Your purpose, 
Father. 

Thank You, my Lord, for loving 
this world so much that You
allowed Jesus to die for us all. 

Lord, thank You for hearing my 
heart’s deepest desire today. 

Lord, I will praise You all the 
days of my life. 

Lord, it is my desire to be a 
blessing to You, my Lord and 
King. 

I pray that the works of my 
hands and the words from 
my mouth always honor 
You, Holy Father. 

May my life honor Jesus. 
May my life resemble 
my sweet Savior in all
I do. 

All honor, glory and praise 
I send to You, my King. 

In the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ I Pray
Amen and Amen

“Church never saved anyone! 
Has anyone died for you? 
My church cannot save me and 
your church cannot save you. 
This is because no church died
for us. No pope, no bishop, 
no pastor, no evangelist can 
save us, because none of them 
died for us. 
But here is the name of the one
who did die for us. 
His name is……
JESUS! JESUS! JESUS!
ONLY JESUS SAVES!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“In the next ten years there is going to be 
an abundance of needy people in our
society—-
and not just with financial needs. 
There will be divorce, broken homes;
incurable diseases like AIDS; 
all kinds of abuse, addictions and 
emotional problems; a growing
number of older people who need help;
and many with a general emptiness from
not knowing Jesus Christ as their Savior. 
What a great time and a great 
opportunity for the church. 
That’s our mission—
to show the LOVE, GRACE
and POWER of JESUS the the 
hurting world.”

“If God has truly given you a promise,
a vision, a gift or a ministry, you
don’t have to grasp for it. 
It is in His hands to bring it to pass.”

God has called You to share Jesus

Ministry is not just for a few select 
men or women. 
It was never God’s desire to have 
super star ministries or churches. 
It was never God’s desire to just use 
a few to spread the gospel of 
Jesus Christ. 

It was never God’s desire to have 
thousands of different denominations
dividing the body of Christ. 
Each denomination has its own set of
beliefs…doctrines…..
Many are very similar…
all of them think they are right….
God called you, me and every 
other man, woman and child 
from every tribe and nation
to share Jesus to this lost world.

God called each of us to love the 
hurting and lost. 
God called each of us to love 
with compassion.
God called each of us to love
with forgiveness in our hearts.
God called each of us to live 
our lives seeking to be more 
like Jesus in all we do. 

God called each of us to rescue
the lost. 
God called each of us to feed the 
hungry.
God called each of us to shelter the 
homeless.
God called each of us to take care 
of the widows, the disabled,
the elderly, and the orphans. 

God did not call you to attend church
every Sunday and ignore the needs of 
the world around you. 

Going to church does not make you
a faithful child of God! 
Your church activities does not 
make you Holy.

God is calling each of us to a deeper 
walk. 
God is calling each of us to a deeper
commitment to serve Him. 
God wants to use you to pour out 
His Holy Love to those who do 
not know Him. 
God wants you to love the ones 
society has thrown away.

What are you willing to sacrifice
for Jesus today? 
What are you willing to do for 
God’s Kingdom today? 
Will you walk away from the 
world’s idea of a servant of 
God to become a warrior for
Jesus, like the original Disciples did?

Dearest Heavenly Father, 

Lord, please forgive me for my
self indulgences…

Lord, forgive me for not
resisting the enemy’s 
attempts to make me 
backslide. 

Lord, forgive me for seeking
self–gratification. 

Lord, forgive me for being 
self–centered and selfish
in my life. 

Lord, forgive me for allowing
my flesh to rule my desires. 

Father, thank You for Your 
unconditional love. 

Father, thank You for Your
mercies that are renewed 
each and every morning. 

Father, thank You for 
Your grace. 

Lord, I love You! 
Lord, I praise You! 
Lord, I rest in Your Holy Embrace! 

Thank You for Your 
Holy Forgiveness. 

Thank You, Jesus, for loving me!
Thank You, Jesus, for saving me!
Thank You, Jesus, for seeing me 
as worthy of salvation! 

In the Mighty and Powerful Name of Jesus Christ 
I Pray…Amen and Amen

Dearest Heavenly Father;
Today I want to lift up all my dear
brothers and sisters to You.
Lord, I pray that You bless those
that are facing legal battles to know
that You are with them.
Lord, I pray that those who are facing
severe financial difficulties
learn to lean on You for their provisions.
Lord, I pray for all those who are facing
health issues, I pray that they learn
that Jesus Christ is their healer.
Lord, I pray for all those who are
suffering with depression to be
delivered from the depths of despair.
Lord, may these post today reach the
precious saints that need to read
how You delivered me and my family
out of the hands of our enemies.
Lord, take these words that I have
written, flawed as they are…take them
and let them be used to encourage
and strengthen those who are suffering.
Lord, help Your children to face
the troubles of life and share them
as encouragement to others when
You deliver them from the enemy’s
attacks on their lives.
Thank You, God, for hearing my heart
today.
Thank You for having my back.
Thank You for being my hero,
my comforter, my redeemer,
my champion, & my savior.
Thank You, God, for sending
Your angels to have charge over me.
Thank You for sending Your angels
to war in the heavenlies for me
and my family.
I know that I can do nothing without
You to help me,
strengthen me,
comfort me,
to guide me.
I will praise You, my Lord, all the days of my life.
I will share my life’s adventures and misadventures
with the world for Your glory, Lord Jesus.
May it bless all who learn of my journey with
You, Holy Father.
In Jesus Name I Pray

Amen and amen.

Mercy, Grace & God’s Favor In Action

“Grace means undeserved kindness.
 It is the gift of God to man the moment
 he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.”

 Written By: D. L. Moody

“Grace is the very opposite of merit…
 Grace is not only undeserved favor,
 but it is favor,
 shown to the one who has deserved
 the very opposite.”

Written By: Harry Ironside

“Grace expresses two complementary thoughts:
 God’s unmerited favor to us through Christ,
 and God’s divine assistance to us
 through the Holy Spirit.”
