Well
all.....here we go once more as I am going to try this again. I had one all
most ready to post and wouldn't you know it, Satan is mad and wiped out ALL of
the blog. I am NOT going to let that stop this blog as I feel it is very
important. I especially feel it is very important soon as how today as I was
preparing it I had or was going one way and it truly flipped around as I knew
God had directed me to where I was supposed to go. I therefore begin this blog
with having you think about this....Jesus was known as the head miracle worker
BUT is it possible for miracle workers to still exist and could we
( meaning you and I) be that miracle worker ? Let’s take a better
and closer look at this topic and consider your answer to this particular question.
Miracles......a word that many today
turn away from and don't truly believe because of all the bad things
which are taking place in the world today. Another term that many turn
away from or don't believe in is that of miracle workers. So why is this.....why
is it that many don't believe in these two terms anymore? Well, it’s
called a total lack of faith and non-belief. Before I go any further
however let's take a closer look at what the term miracle truly means.
According to the Webster's online dictionary, the term miracle means in short, "an
unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of
God." The full definition however says, "An extraordinary event manifesting divine
intervention in human affairs”, hence this means that no matter the miracle,
God is over all that is happening and the people who are over and help these
particular miracles that occur are indeed known as miracle workers. The most well-known miracle worker we all know is Jesus Christ. His miracles
were above and beyond all measures which included but not limited to raising
the dead, turning the water into wine, making the lame walk, the mute talk, and
the blind to see. When He died on the cross however many felt that the role of miracle
worker left with Him.
The
story did not however just stop there. When Christ died, the Holy Spirit
returned to us in order to help fulfill the roles in which God has assigned
each of us and this includes that of being a miracle worker. In the book of
Acts we come to see that God is doing extraordinary miracles through Paul (Acts
19:11) and thus it goes to prove that when it comes to something being in God’s
plans that miracles and miracle workers do exist.
So,
we know that they exist but what about in today’s society…do miracles happen
and can miracle workers still be in action today or are they as many of society
thinks of them today….extinct. In answer to this question, the answer is yes…yes
miracles DO happen and YES there are still miracle workers. Now I understand
that you all are probably thinking there is no way this can happen. You may be
thinking that ok, yes miracles happen BUT a miracle worker there is no way
someone is that. The truth is that miracle workers do exist. For in the book of
first Corinthians, Paul is writing the first letter to the church he started
that was now needing guidance and assistance in how God wanted them to run the
church. He tells them in the twelfth
chapter that:
27- Now you are the body of Christ, and
each one of
you is a part of it.
28- And the church God has appointed
first of all
apostles, second prophets,
third teachers, then
workers of miracles, also those who help
others,
also those having gifts of
healing, those able to
help others, those with gifts
of administration,
and those speaking in
different kind of tongues.
As you can
see when one decides to accept Christ in their lives we are given special gifts
by God. We have to learn to use them through prayer and the studying of God’s
word so that when God is ready for us to use them they can be used and for some
it is very difficult. I say this because when talents are used it is hard on
everyone but especially for miracle workers. People ridiculed, criticized, and
tormented Christ for these miracles and thus miracle workers chosen by God when
doing His work are treated as such. For example a young girl from a small town
that is not say very popular and keeps to herself ends up with a famous person,
now most would say that ,ok yes that is a miracle because normal things like
that don’t happen. Yet when an individual who God has specifically chosen steps
in to help that miracle as God has taught and instructed the individual , they
are considered to be that of bad and evil. Let me just reintegrate however the
scripture from Hebrews 13:
2- Do not forget to
show hospitality to
Strangers, for by doing some people have
Shown hospitality to angels
without knowing
it.
The individual may be a stranger yet if it is
a miracle worker of God, the stranger could be just that a stranger
or it could be that of someone you had not seen
in a while, or even that
of a best friend that you think you know but in truth you didn’t truly know
them. So, I ask you this question….how many angels have you entertained recently?
For you never know when the person setting next to you or across from you is
going to be that angel. Finally, I ask you this…..Christ was the head miracle
worker and when he died, God continued to use Peter to resume the miracles on the
earth with the help of the Holy Spirit. My question to you is this…..Do you
have the faith it takes to believe: 1) that miracles do still happen, 2) that there
ARE miracle workers that are still amongst us, and 3) Do you believe that you
yourself could be a miracle worker? The key to each of these is the faith God
has for us to use. If you have the faith and you can believe like a child…..then
ALL things ARE possible.
Remember
that if you are interested in having me talk to your church, school, group, or
organization or if you are interested in a copy of the book all the information

God bless
