Signs and Wonders Part 3 / #54

Summary:

Having a personal, interactive relationship with the Father and having a clean heart are both actually the first step. Matthew 7:7 tells us to knock and keep knocking, seek and keep seeking, ask and keep asking, and the door will be opened to you. That’s what you have to do to be efficient at anything. We, as believers, are hardwired for the super-natural. Just because your prayers for people and things don’t turn out like you think they ought to, don’t get discouraged. Keep doing it, keep trying and don’t stop doing it. How about going after something smaller than trying to raise someone from the dead right off the bat? In reality, signs, wonders and miracles are happening much more than we know, but we have to start looking with spiritual eyes to see them.

Show Notes:

• There are so many people who think that signs and wonders are just reserved for somebody else, someone who knows a lot more Bible, or someone more committed than them. What a misconception! We’re all created for signs, wonders and the supernatural, because we were created in the image of God.

• A lot of people go around wondering why, when they pray for someone with a terminal illness or something, most of them end up dying. Understandable! But you never know what might happen if you keep praying for these people. The Bible tells us to keep on knocking, asking and believing for it to happen.

• Sometimes it’s better to pray and not see immediate results. And, sometimes, you find out months after you did pray over someone, that a healing really did take place. Could God have been protecting you from pride at that time?

• One of the greatest signs and wonders is being able to communicate with the Father, and the ability to hear Him speak to us in so many different ways.

Quotes:

 

• There has to be signs, wonders and the supernatural acts and events for the world that we live in, to see the kingdom of God advanced to the degree that those kinds of things start to happen on the regular course of our day.

• I’ve seen too much supernatural stuff for someone to say that God’s not doing them today. I think God always wants to do it, but now more than ever. And I think we’re in a place, the church, the body of Christ now, where we’re going to see a lot more of that kind of stuff.

Takeaways:

As believers, we should never stop believing and praying for miracles to happen for people. If miracles and healing are two of the gifts of God’s spirit, we all should be contending and going after these things to start happening in our everyday life.
