When things feel hopeless they feel helpless you just need to know that God promises to make a way
When you feel like every door has been
shut you can't see how something is going to happen in front of you he will make a way
Because our God is a waymaker and he will make a way through providing a miracle he'll make
a way through keeping a promise or he'll just shine light into the darkness of your situation
God makes a way in the middle of no way Israel found themselves at the Red Sea and God separates
the waters and in the midst of impossibility Israel walks through on dry ground sea separated
on each side and they walk through that's a God that makes a way in the middle of no way
You know when we talk about God being a miracle worker there are a lot of
skeptics in the world today even within the Christian community that that would say that
the miracles of the bible just either never actually took place or they're not for today
But the question for all of us is is really is he still working miracles that's the question is he
still the miracle worker today is God still in the miracle business can blind eyes that have never
seen miraculously still be open can God still take just a small amount of food and still multiply
that food to to feed thousands can people still be miraculously healed when everything else says that
there's just no way does God still intervene into human affairs in an extraordinary way
and based on what I read in scripture and what I've seen with my own two eyes and what I've
experienced God I want to tell you that God is still in the business of doing miracles I want
you to know that today I believe that with all of my heart he is still a miracle worker
Over the past few years I've watched God heal relationships that seem beyond repair
I've watched him heal people of cancer when doctors said it couldn't be done I've watched him
provide financially for people when all hope seemed to be lost I've watched God provide for
my family when we said there's just no way that this can happen I've watched him heal
both of my boys from back injuries when the doctors looked at both of them and said it's
never going happen then I watch God do it God is still in the business of doing miracles I
want you to know that I want you to believe it because I believe it with everything inside of me
most of us I would say we have no problem believing that God does miracles today
but we're not quite sure he'll do them for us
In order to experience a miracle sometimes you have to take a step of faith
Miracles are God's business obedience is mine miracles are God's business obedience is yours
I'm still the miracle worker but you've got to take a step of faith
I like what Mark Patterson says he says you can't expect God to do the supernatural
if you aren't willing to do the natural and here's the point
If you want to see the miraculous sometimes you have to take a step of obedience you have to trust
God you have to have faith and you have to ask you have to do what he's asking you to do even
if you don't want to even if everything inside of you is screaming no that doesn't make sense
Some of you are believing God for a desired outcome but quite honestly
what you are asking God to do for you requires a miracle to get it done
You need a miracle and Jesus is
the miracle worker he is the miracle worker nothing is impossible for Jesus to do for you
Luke chapter 1 verse 37 says for nothing will be impossible with God Matthew chapter 19 verse
26 says but Jesus looked at them and said with with man this is impossible let's say it together
but with God all things are possible I love Ephesians 3:20 Paul writes now to him who is able
to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is in work
with that doesn't work with inside of us what does that mean it just means simply God is able
God is able Eugene Peterson says most miracles are the by product of
a long obedience in the same direction for some of you guys are saying to you get up
get up trust me move forward take a step of obedience here's another
thing if Jesus does a miracle miracle in your life there's always a bigger purpose involved
What's the purpose it will always always always be about bringing God glory and
drawing you closer to him to deepen your faith to put Jesus on display
listen every one of the miracles in the book of John every one of the miracles in the bible
is about bringing glory to God and deepening the faith of the people involved in the miracle
but here's what you need to know God will never waste your pain
he will never waste your hurt he will never waste your suffering and he will never waste a miracle
and here's the other thing regardless of how long you've been waiting on a miracle
Jesus has not forgotten about you there are no promises in God's word that says
that God's going to heal every person that is suffering or every person that's paralyzed or
every person that that's in pain while we're here on this earth could he heal everyone in the
world right now that's suffering absolutely but for whatever reason he chooses not to
even though romans 8:23 says we groan to be released from pain and suffering in this
lifetime it won't be until we get to heaven that will be healed and be given new bodies
and listen that's a tough reality to accept about God's sovereignty it's especially tough if if
maybe you're a child or you have a child that is suffering or someone that you love deeply
and you just watch them suffer all day long however even though I don't understand why God
may choose to do a miracle here but he chooses not to do a miracle over here I do know this
he is compassionate he is loving he is good and he's not forgotten about anyone
he is with you just as much as he's with the person that he does the miracle for
just as much and listen some of you are waiting on God to do a miracle in your life listen our
savior is still a miracle worker he is still a promise keeper he's not forgotten about you
Isaiah chapter 40 verse 28 says have you heard have you never heard have you never understood
the Lord is the everlasting God the creator of all the earth he never grows weak or weary
No one can measure the depths of his understanding he gives power to the weak and strength to the
powerless even youths will become weak and tired and young men will fall in exhaustion but those
who trust in the Lord who put their faith in the miracle worker will find new strength
they will soar high in wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and
not faint that means that regardless of what you have been through today Jesus is still
a miracle worker and the question for you today is do you need a miracle
