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.”

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 manmade 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 simple 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.”

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 
oneonone 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 soldout 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 shall 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.
