Miracles Equal Belief

"Unless you people see miracles you will not believe." These words Jesus said to a government official whose son was dying of a fever. Because he could only say what he heard the Father say then rebounded this command, "Go your way for your son lives." The man went and discovered the word was true and the fever had left his son. This miracle brought a whole household to believe and live with Jesus in health and happiness. The miracle was not so much a healing as a deliverance which also delivered all who saw it happen.

For the unbelievers whether churched or unchurched to change their belief and view of God miracles of one type or another are essential deliverance. Miracles are to God perfectly normal everyday occurrences, it's just what He does. All God needs is a repeater of His truth. This place of believing is what is called faith. Faith causes action but the enemy immediately tries to counter with doubts and unbelief. This is the place we exist in at this time on earth.

We should know from the Adam and Eve story that immediately after God says something the enemy in disguise will lie to try and make us die, to die means not believing the life giving truth. The enemy of faith tries to stop miracles so that believers will not gain victories over him. If we have entered into faith through a touch of God then it is our challenge to overcome the countermeasures of the enemy and believe what God is saying to us in His Kingdom. Society is hungry for answers to the great suffering of our world but instead of miracles the enemy inspires solutions such as assisted suicide.

Every Christians calling is to be rebirthed into the eternal realm, in that becoming a child of God, as Jesus stated. To come to Him as a child of God is to be more than a created creature but a Spirit being speaking and acting as we hear and see in the eternal Spirit. This Kingdom life is the way we were shown to take and this path is one of the miraculous testified possible and true by the first disciples. Jesus Christ is the portico of heaven in which we hear the truth about all things, in Him we live and  breath and will do miracles and in this people will see the Father.

Inner Strength (Isaiah 64:1-9)

I have been reading Bear Grylls autobiography. Its powerful stuff about what it is to be a man able to go beyond his limitations; about a man who God helped reach where eagles dare.  Some of you don’t have a clue who I’m talking about but he has climbed Everest, he is seen on Television each week surviving some of the world’s harshest places, he’s been made the Chief Scout as role model for hundreds of thousands of children, he eats marrow from old bones, crunches live grubs and drinks from camels stomachs. Bear Grylls is SAS trained tough on Prime TV’s Man vs Wild and comes from a line of commandos; his granddad and dad.  Bear, as his much older sister called him, had to find his own individual place in the grueling world of the British SAS and at the young age of 20 years old. He’s a man who has done the impossible and he attributes his success to a simple faith in Jesus Christ and fronts the Alpha advertisements nowadays. Bear Grylls says that in the endurance section of SAS selec

Lamps Aflame (Matt 25:1-13)

As I look out on this congregation I see only lamps rather than people this morning.  I am looking at us as God might look upon us in the Gospel parable.  We are to be children of light, of which the Gospel is that light.  We are to be as attendants of Christ Jesus  professing not only to believe and look for but  to love and long for the appearing of Christ,  not only enlightened by it ourselves but must shine as lights. I am looking this morning through the eyes of Jesus’ parable of the Ten Virgins.  I am seeing two different characters, with proof and evidence of it.  I see lamps with oil for that is what God has told me He has done. B ut do I see lamps with fire; that is the question today.  Do I see extra virgin oil in reserve for the late coming Bridegroom.  There is no doubt the Bridegroom is our Lord Jesus Christ.  There is no doubt we live in a darkened world awaiting His return.  We need to figure out exactly what we are waiting for in Jesus return. When he saw the Pharis

A Tree of Life (Jer 17:5-10)

Wisdom seems to be the theme given us for this season in the church. God is looking for fruit from us. A farmer produces fruit as crops, like barley and wheat, meat and wool. But God is looking for spiritual fruit from us. The fruit that He desires is of the Spirit of God in us rather than that of other spirits. God is looking for the sweet easily plucked fruit rather than sour and prickly fruits hard to consume such as love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Gal 5). This reading is helping us with a choice we must make of how we can achieve the best outcome for ourselves by using the parable of a suitably positioned planting of fruiting tree. Jesus similarly referred to himself in John 15:1-7 as the vine desirable to be grafted onto, a vine in origin from the rootstock of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The two locations mentioned in the reading relate to surviving testing times through the availability of water to nourish the roots of the
