A GOD OF MIGHT AND MIRACLES IS THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY

To the church member who attends church regularly, this statement is not new. Neither does it instil within their hearts any amazement or move their faith at all. In fact, I would dare to say that because miracles seemingly do not happen daily or in the magnitude that the early Christians were witness of, they are looked down on as a passing fad.

I read of the many miracles that God performed for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The daily miracles that the Israelites witnessed on their journey from Egypt to Canaan. In fact, there are pages full of the great things our God has done from the beginning of time. So much so that we should believe unwaveringly that God who cannot lie, does not change but is from the Beginning to the End this amazing God, can and will continue to do what is natural to Him. He created everything that we see by His Word. His Spoken Word was creative and still is creative. We see the supernatural Power of God being demonstrated but to Him, it is all in a moment's work. 

Can you fathom His depth? Can you compete with Him when He stretches forth His Hand and the walls of Jericho tumble and are pushed into the ground that the Israelites walk over the remnant of what used to a wall to take possession of the city? Can you understand how only the words of Moses speaking to a rock cause water to flow out of it? A stream large enough to quench the thirst of all Israel and the herds of cattle, sheep, goats, donkeys, camels and all the slaves? Can you understand how Jesus' spittle mixed with mud applied to the eyes of the blind could make him see when in obedience he washed them in the pool Jesus sent him to?

In fact, I wonder just what the journalists and critics would've written about in their columns of how this Rabbi could ever dare to do such a deed? Imagine that! Te person referring to himself as the Son of God having no culture to spit in the sand and mix the spittle until he could apply the mud to the blinded man's eyes. Some may say that he could graciously not see therefore there were no repercussions.
You know something friend? The blind man followed the Master's instructions "blindly" (excuse the pun). He never questioned the Master's words or intentions. He just walked to the pool and washed his eyes in faith, believing that as he did this he would receive his miracle. It was just that. God said it, I believe it and that settles it (quote: Kenneth Hagin).

The blind man would never be convinced by the doubting masses that God was anything other than A God Of Might And Miracles. No amount of money would ever convince him otherwise. Why? Because he experienced it firsthand. He could see. The scales had fallen off his eyes. Whatever he grew up as was changed in the defining moment.

As the leper who along with 9 others had been to Jesus to be healed. They all left healed to shew themselves to the Rabbi. He returned to thank Jesus for the miracle received. I don't believe that the other unthankful 9 retained their healing. This man did because he returned to give thanks to God.

I know that you who are reading this post may have been swayed by popular thinking that the time of miracles is past. That miracles somehow strangely "died" or ceased to exist. That God maybe said that the season for miracles is past but I strongly disagree. Never was there only a small window of time allotted for God to move in the Miraculous. I refuse to believe that. Why? What qualifies me to make such a statement? This! I know what I know that I know that I know without knowing why I know except that the will of God is revealed in His Word. "Everything that you will ask the Father from now in my Name, will He do for you." The writer to the Hebrews says that Jesus Christ is Yesterday and today the same until all eternity. He is an awesome God who is able to awesome things. Unchangeable. Times change. Fashion changes. Beliefs change. People change but the Word (Jesus) can or will NEVER change. What He did back then He does now and wants to do for you.

I do not care what the critics write, what certain churches believe, what many Statements of Faith declare, I have witnessed miracles in my life and in my ministry. You see friend, we make it all about us when it is all about Jesus. It is not the pray-er but the prayer. It is God who honours faith. Heb 11:6 "But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he who cometh to God must believe that He is and a Rewarder of them that diligently seek Him."

You may have been in a motor vehicle accident and are now a quadriplegic, born deaf and mute, have failing eyesight or be blind and using a reader to hear what I have written here. Have HIV Aids, cancers in any of it's many forms, suffering from multiple sclerosis or whatever disease you have. my God is no respecter of the person but the Almighty God. The one I referred to as The God Of Might And Miracles. He is the Only True God. Beside Him there are none others.

The Bible invites us to draw near by faith and He will draw nigh to us. I would like to to touch your computer, laptop, iPhone, iPad, mobile cellular's screen right now as a Point of Contact as we unite in prayer.

Heavenly Father, we bring the praise the power, the might the majesty and the glory to You alone. You are Worthy to be Praised and exalted on high. We lift up our hearts, our hands, our eyes heavenward knowing, proclaiming and declaring that Your Word (Jesus), is Truth. He said I am the Way the Truth and The Life. No man cometh to the Father but by Me. You promised Lord that we would lay hands on sick and they SHALL RECOVER. I command every spirit that is not from God to depart right now. Every spirit if infirmity, every crippling spirit leave in Jesus' Name. Every Blind spirit, every deaf and mute spirit, every spirit of oppression be cast out now in Jesus' Name. Crippled body parts straighten and grow to their normal size. Every ulcer and hernia be healed now in Jesus' Name. Lord, release Your miraculous Power now wherever this precious person is acting by faith, standing on the promises and declarations of Your Word and are open to receive Christ Jesus into their hearts and lives, Be Healed in Jesus' Name. Lord, I speak life into every body, every person who is touching You right now to be TOTALLY HEALED right now to the Glory of God. Amen and amen. Let t be so.

Please give the praise, thanks, honour and glory to God ONLY. He is the miracle worker, not me. I am flesh and blood just as you are. Lift your hands, hearts and eyes up to God who is The God Of Might And Miracles in honour and worship Him alone. 

If God has touched you through this prayer of Faith, I humbly ask you to post a comment to that effect, glorifying the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. Blessed be His Name.

God bless you
