You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
Psalm 77:14 NIV
Principles of Miracles:
Believe in miracles, but always trust in Jesus!
• Miracles and faith go hand in hand.
(REF) John 2:3-5
• Miracles and _obedience_ go hand in hand.
(REF) John 2:5
So, when you need a miracle, it is important to ask some questions. . . . .
1. Have I done all that I could do?
2. Have I completely trusted God in prayer?
3. Am I asking God for His glory?
• Miracles and _God’s glory_ go hand in hand.
11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
John 2:11 ESV
It’s not about us, but about God.
• Miracles and _God’s purpose_ go hand in hand.
John 2:11 . . . . .”And the disciples believed in him”
And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. The Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.
Exodus 14:13 ESV
Are the miracles in the Bible to be taken literally?
YES!!!
Is God a God of miracles and wonders?
YES!!!
How big is your perception of God?
Could He be bigger than that?Here’s the “flip-side” of that record-
If you wake up each morning and manage your day with your “little” perception/view of God, there are consequences. . . . . .
• Live in constant fear and anxiety because, everything depends on you alone.
• Your moods and attitudes will be governed by whatever circumstances happen that day.
• Prayer time will be unsettled and unnatural because with a shrunken God there is no surety and purpose.
• You will become a slave to whatever people project or think of you because you don’t live in the overwhelming acceptance of a big God who loves, accets your short comings.
• Little faith is only required in a little God.
• If your view of God is small, then you will doubt God’s ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than my ability to mess things up.
“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?
Jeremiah 32:27 ESV
You are the God who works wonders; you have made known your might among the peoples.
Psalm 77:14 ESV
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
Hosea 4:6 ESV
Because eternity is not long enough to even understand the greatness and wonders of God, don’t _box God in_!!
• Recognize the struggle or tension to fully understand God’s ways.
“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 29:29 ESV
• Believe in miracles, but always trust in the Lord.
• Daily enlarge the _perspective_ that God is much bigger than what you think.
• Nothing is impossible with God.
