Do Miracles Still Happen?

There is probably no greater miracle than the birth of a baby. The many intricate details of human creation is one of the most awesome events we can experience in this life. It takes more faith to NOT believe in the God of creation than to believe. Evidence of intelligent design is literally all around us.

The virgin birth of Jesus defines human creation as it really is, a miracle of God. The Lord is the creator of all things and has set in order the processes for the propagation of life but the virgin birth gets our attention that the Creator can do and act as HE desires. It is impossible to put the God of creation in a boxas to limit His abilities both here and in the heavenlies. Our God truly is the God of the miraculous!

The miracle of resurrection as exhibited with Jesus’ resurrection from the dead was another one of the Lord’s miracles proving that He was Lord not only of birth but of the grave.

We see the truth of a miracles (events that cannot be explained by natural law) throughout the ages. Our God is at work assisting mankind because of His grace and mercy. Bodies are healed, divine guidance given, protection bestowed, relationships restored, supernatural resources supplied to meet an immediate need, etc. And the greatest miracle of all is the transformation of the human heart at salvation! How many times has God done a miracle for you?

The promise of the miraculous throughout scriptures: NLT

John 14 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. 14 Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!

Mark 16 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. 18 They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.”

Galatians 3 I ask you again, does God give you the Holy Spirit and work miracles among you because you obey the law? Of course not! It is because you believe the message you heard about Christ.

1 Corinthians 12 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. . .

There is nothing in scripture that says miracles have ceased. On the contrary the scripture encourages us to pray and to believe for the impossible. The Lord loves you and desires to do the impossible in your life and in the lives of those around you, believer and non believer. Keep your spiritual antenna up and as you’re made aware of needs be willing to step out in faith and pray for those who cross your path. Be willing to step into the ocean of problems that others are facing and let’s see the waters part! Let’s believe!
