Awakening For Your Miracle
Prayer and Fasting Tips January 18th, 2008John 14:12-14 (NKJV)
12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
Are you ready for God to do a supernatural work in your life today? Are you ready to feel the intangible…see the invisible…experience the unexplainable? Do you believe God can supernaturally intervene in your life?
In order to go deeper in the ways of the Lord, we must anchor in our heart the conviction that the works Jesus did we will do also. The Bible also says even greater works than these you will do because Jesus went to the Father (John 14:12-14).
The truth is the miracle working power of the living God is available to you right now through the person of the Holy Spirit.
You might feel that miracles in your life or ministry are impossible. But remember, a miracle is never a miracle to God; it’s a miracle to you. Miracles are a normal, everyday occurrence to God…and He wants to make them a normal every day occurrence in your life.
God is in the miracle working “business.” They are no surprise to Him.
How are you going to receive these greater works?
In 2 Timothy 1:6, the apostle Paul reminds Timothy to “stir up the gift of God which is in you”. If we set ourselves to seek Him by developing a regular habit of prayer, Bible reading and praying in the Spirit, the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit will be stirred up in you.
Paul goes on to remind us in verse 7 that “God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Go ahead, don’t be afraid to stir yourself up and ASK in the name of Jesus.
Your miracle could be right around the corner waiting for you.
I am ready for a miracle. Not because I have faith in my own righteousness or in my own ability to pray or because I believe in the power of my church, but because I have faith in THAT NAME.
Jesus said:
John 16:23-24 (NKJV)
23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.
It’s all in that name…the name of Jesus.

thanks for the direct challenge Pastor Mike to expect these things normal to God to become normal for us.
