Many Believers have been lulled into a passive state by the world’s ways and traditions. Everyday there is another news cycle that catches the attention of all who thirst for more information and stimulation. There are those who are in constant search for something new and seek after signs which point to major change. It was no different when Jesus walked the earth. By THE SPIRIT John wrote in chapter 7:
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill?
26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?
27 However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Without miracles, Christianity would just be another philosophy. Because FATHER confirms HIS Word with signs and miracles we know this is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. When the children of Israel were to be led out of Egypt, FATHER performed miracles as evidence they were HIS chosen people. Elijah and Elisha’s ministries were confirmed by miracles. Jesus spent as much time healing the sick as He preached the Gospel. When John’s disciples were sent to confirm whether Jesus was the Messiah, Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 11:
2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them.
6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”
FATHER is still in the miracle-performing business today. There are many religions and philosophies of man in this hour but there is only one Gospel of Christ and FATHER will confirm HIS Word with signs and wonders. HE wants us to be one with HIM where we too will be able to say without any doubt whatsoever “I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
Now is the time reaffirm our priority in being in full unity with HIM. I expect this coming year to see major changes manifest among those who have been diligently seeking HIS FACE in an uncompromising manner. We should no longer expect anything less than HIS Miracle Working Power flowing through us to those whom HE places before us. We must veer not to the left or the right but walk that straight, narrow path into the fullness of Christ in us, the Hope of Glory.
