ACTIVATING YOUR MIRACLE

(21-06-2009, 28-06-2009)


An example of electric switch – electric power is there but you have to switch it on to experience the power.


Mark 5:25-34

The woman with the issue of blood activated her miracle. Jesus did not decide to release the power to heal her. She touched his garment and she was healed, then Jesus realised that virtue had gone out of him. Her faith made her whole. What would have happened if she did not go to Jesus? The healing of the woman with the issue of blood was up to her. If she did not go to Jesus she could have bled to death.


Jesus does not always respond to crowds but He always responds to faith.


It is not that the woman with the issue of blood was not doing anything about her situation, but whatever she was doing was not working. It may be the same also in your life. But things only started to change when she went to Jesus. You may also need to go to the man of God in faith knowing that God will change your situation through him.


2Kings 7:3-10

The four lepers were not satisfied by their state of affair. "Why sit we here until we die?"

So why do you also not do something about your situation? If you do not activate your miracle, your circumstances will not change. Believe God to change your situation. Even though God has good plans for you, you have a part to play in letting those plans come to pass.


Matthew 15:22-28

The Canaanite woman received the miracle for her daughter because of her faith. Even though there were discouraging circumstances, she persisted until she got what she wanted (the healing of her daughter)

*A RED ROBOT MAY DELAY YOU – BUT WAIT FOR GREEN AND PROCEED – DON'T MAKE A U TURN.

*YOU MAY BE DELAYED BUT YOU CANNOT BE DENIED.

*FAILURE JUST MEANS THAT YOU WILL BE DELAYED BUT YOU CAN STILL REACH YOUR DESTINATION IF YOU PERSIST.


Mark 10:46-52 The crowd was moving with Jesus. Among them, there might have been some who had need. But Jesus stopped to attend to the cry of faith. Many people tried to silence Bartimaeus. But he could not be stopped because he wanted his miracle.

Jesus asks, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Tell Jesus what you want.

Bartimaeus initiated his healing by calling on Jesus and telling Jesus what he wanted. "I want to receive my sight" It was not up to Jesus for Bartimaeus to be healed, Jesus was passing by.


God has already done his part. Now the ball is in our court.

*Deuteronomy 30:19-20 You have a choice – life or death, blessings or curses. The choice is yours.


*Isaiah 1:19-20 If you be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land but if you refuse and rebel you shall be devoured by the sword. From this verse does it seem like for you to eat the good of the land is God's choice ?


Joshua 1:8 "You will make your way prosperous"


2 Kings 4:8-37

The Shunemite woman blessed the man of God, and she received the blessing from God. She was rich but her money could not buy a child. But the man of God could proclaim and declare that she would have a son. She got a son as the man of God had said. When the son died, she did not call the funeral undertakers, but she called the man of God. "All is well."


1Kings 17:8-16

When God sent Elijah to be fed by the widow woman, He wanted to bless her. Why did God not command a rich man to feed Elijah. The widow woman had to give Elijah a piece of cake to activate her miracle – otherwise she would have eaten her last meal and died.


Matthew 13:44-46 Seek the hidden treasure. It is yours but you need to find it.


Matthew 16:19 The Lord has given you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Heaven wants to back you up as you enforce the kingdom of God on the earth.

What are you doing to activate your miracle?
