In Need of a Miracle – Conclusion

You are the God who work wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.

Psalm 77:14 ESV

Nothing is  impossible  with God. 

#1 Sermon

  • God is still the God of miracles in the Bible.
  • Miracle: It’s a God thin!
  • Our position: Believe in miracles and trust in Jesus.

#4 Sermon

  • Seeking after God increases our expectations and preparations for a miracle.

#5 Sermon

  • Waiting in prayer positions us for the miraculous will of the supernatural power of God.

Pastors Points:

  • Miracle; It’s a god thing!
  • Believe in miracles, but put your complete trust in Jesus.

Miracle Mistakes:

  • Our theology conforms to our reality between what we believe and what we experience in our lives.
  • Ignore the things we haven’t seen and remove the responsibility to ask.
  • Our view of God is too small. “How big something looks doesn’t depend on how big it really is. It depends on how far away you are.

Faith and prayer grabs the invisible to promote the visible. This invites heaven into history and eternity into time.

Every rewrite of your struggles and you “impossible” problems is because every prayer is a sentence added to your miracle story.

 You are not called to stand in your own strength- Never!

But you are called to only rest in Him.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.

Isaiah 30:18 ESV

Let them be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the LORD driving them away!  Let their way be dark and slippery, with the angel of the LORD pursuing them! For without cause they hid their net for me;

“A Psalm of Praise, of David. 

I will exalt You, my God, the King, 

And I will bless Your name forever and ever. Every day I will bless You, And I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable. One generation will praise Your works to another, 

And will declare Your mighty acts. On the glorious splendor of Your majesty And on Your wonderful works, I will meditate. People will speak of the power of Your awesome acts, 

And I will tell of Your greatness. They will burst forth in speaking of Your abundant goodness, And will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.”

(Psalms 145:1-7, NASB20)
