When I was a little kid, my family started going to a church that would forever shift my life. The Pastor would tell us about the miraculous power of God. He told us that God still healed people…today. He told us that we were to do the things Jesus did and far greater. And I believed him.

Sometimes in life you find yourself at a place where no rational plan of action will seem to help. What do you do? Whether you are still without employment, divorced, broke, sick or simply having a really, really bad month…learning to live beyond your circumstances will change your outlook on community, life and God.

Maybe God is still powerful. Maybe miracles still happen. Maybe they can happen to you. Maybe.

A miracle is a supernatural intervention from God into the natural affairs of mankind. It is something that is uncommon, not the norm, a wonder, a marvel, or something astonishing. We have heard of miracles in the past…we may have even experienced one in our own life, however sometimes we lose light of God’s immeasurable power and abilities.

John 5 tells a story of Jesus healing a paralyzed man. He wasn’t just concerned for his soul, he was concerned for his physical and emotional experience that very day.

1-6 Soon another Feast came around and Jesus was back in Jerusalem.
Near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem there was a pool, in Hebrew called Bethesda, with five alcoves. Hundreds of sick people—blind, crippled, paralyzed—were in these alcoves. One man had been an invalid there for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him stretched out by the pool and knew how long he had been there, he said, “Do you want to get well?”

7 The sick man said, “Sir, when the water is stirred, I don’t have anybody to put me in the pool. By the time I get there, somebody else is already in.”

8-9 Jesus said, “Get up, take your bedroll, start walking.” The man was healed on the spot. He picked up his bedroll and walked off.

I’ve been asked by many of my friends to stop praying for the sick and down. “Tim, it scares people…it freaks them out.” When I see the miraculous work of God on someone’s life…it makes me want to do it more. God still heals. God still does miracles. It’s not about me…I’m not the big deal. I’m just a kid who grew up actually believing what they told me in Sunday School.

    I was praying your strength in the Lord this morning and praying as well for my family and friends while listening to the word of God. God gave me this ( it will part of my book), i think it pertains to what you are saying here:
    “To have faith in God is a confidence in and an understanding of the word of God acquired by hearing it over and over again knowing it’s promises and who you are according to the Lord. By doing this you will begin to understand the big picture and mature as your faith strengthens. There is fact but there is no truth outside of the Word of God…”

    I believe I saw spiritual muscles at VOSD last night…”When you believe, stand on God’s Word, and act (in faith) upon the Lord’s instructions, you can be certain that you are a candidate for a miracle of NO MORE LOSSES, TOTAL RECOVERY, and Total ABUNDANCE. God is ready to break every bondage that may be on your life.”-Dr. Cerullo. The enemy lies says, “God just wants my needs met…the rest is up to you” but Truth, says “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). John 10:10 ”Great is our Lord, and of great power; His understanding is infinite: PS. 147:5 Believe your future is declared & decreed in God’s Will. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5lkcrtnr3U

    Maybe, that’s a brilliant faith word. I was so pleased when I realised that ‘but’ and ‘if’ are ok too. After all the three guys in the furnace back in old testament days used an if and a but and it didn’t stop Jesus showing up. I know God can do it. I saw it with my own eyes when Tim prayed for our baby son 20 years ago in Newport South Wales. The baby is 22 now :-) Keep going Tim!
