Miracles … Happen because we believe and are obedience.

 

Miracles should be a normal part of the activities of the members of the family. They will encompass every facet of our lives. We don’t all do the same things or go to the same schools but we all live grow and mature and we will be come an asset to the family or detriment. Don’t expect everyone to do the same thing but expect ever one to do something. Have a family meeting with the Father Jesus and the Holy Spirit to decide what your part is. Do it every morning.

John 14:12 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

 

In the New Testament these four Greek words are principally used to designate miracles:

Semeion, a "sign", i.e., evidence of a divine commission; of a divine message (Matt. 12:38,39; 16:1, 4; Mark 8:11; Luke 11:16; 23:8; John 2:11, 18, 23; Acts 6:8, etc.); a token of the presence and working of God;

Terata, "wonders;" wonder-causing events; portents; producing astonishment in the beholder (Acts 2:19).

Dunameis, "might works;" superhuman power (Acts 2:22; Rom. 15:19; 2 Thess. 2:9); of a higher power.

Erga, "works;" the works of Him who is "wonderful in working" (John 5:20, 36).

 

Miracles are seals of a divine mission, as proof that they were messengers of God. Our Lord also appealed to miracles as proof of his divine mission (John 5:20, 36; 10:25, 38). Where miracles are there certainly God is. Then men and women (man) who works a miracle affords proof that he comes with the authority of God; they are his credentials that he is God's messenger. He boldly says, "God bears me witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles."

Miracles are fitted to convey the impression of the presence and power of God.

Luke 24:49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

Miracles are designed to authenticate the commission of the teacher and the truth of the message (John 2:18; Matt. 12:38). 2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power; And He makes my way perfect.

Miracles show the intervention of a power that is not limited by the laws of nature

Ecclesiastes 10:20 Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.

Miracles are a result of one body

1 Corinthians 12:13 for by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.

2 Corinthians 6:14 do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

Miracles require faith as a non-rational belief pattern, they have their own faith-based belief system

Hebrews 3:19 so we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Luke 18:27 and he said, the things, which are impossible with men, are possible with God.

Miracles are super natural not natural

Job 39 (onager- notoriously untameable)

Miracles happen because we believe and are obedience.

Mark 16:17 and these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;

Miracles are the result of the greater force.  

Matthew 9:8 Now when the multitudes saw it, they marveled and glorified God, who had given such power to men.

Matthew 10:1 and when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.

Miracles happen when our will meets with God’s will.

John 5:30 I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is righteous, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the Father who sent me.

Deuteronomy 28:2 and all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God:

Miracles happen when we ask

John 16:23-24 “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. Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive,

Hebrews 2:4 and this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:

John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.

John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.

John 14: 13-14 if you ask anything in my name, I will do it…

John 11:22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

Matthew 21:22 and whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”

Matthew 18:19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Matthew 7:7  “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

James 4:2 ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

 

Miracles are by nature generally unrepeatable “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power”. 1 Cor 4:20
