Blessed by Signs, Miracles, and Wonders

Steeped in the Word

8 – New Beginnings    

15 – Rest and Overcoming Death

So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15  NLT

Blessed by Signs,\nMiracles, and Wonders\n

All three works of the Holy Spirit, signs, miracles, and wonders, are mentioned together in only one verse in the Bible.\u00a0 \u201cFellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.\u201d Acts 2:22\n

Hold on tight as I give you Troy\u2019s Cliff Notes primer on signs, miracles, and wonders.\n

A sign is when God uses the natural to point to the supernatural. A microburst snapped the power pole, blew up the transformer, and cut the power to a friend\u2019s house. The electric company put up a new pole and transformer, but there was a message in that wind. God used the natural to cut off an old power source \u2013 a negative way of thinking \u2013 and replaced it with a new power source \u2013 Godly thinking. When it comes to signs, only those looking for them can see them. I\u2019m looking!\n

A miracle is when God changes, or exchanges, the natural with the supernatural. It\u2019s when God intervenes in extreme circumstances and rescues us from negative circumstances, danger, or a major malfunction. Sickness is healed, a car is miraculously moved out of the way of a speeding truck, or an unexpected check that is enough to pay the past due mortgage shows up in the mail.\n

A wonder is a jaw dropper, attached to how wonderful God is. It raises the bar for new levels of faith. Wonders in my life include being given a million-dollar church campus by a near stranger before I even knew I needed one, and praying with a prison inmate desperate to get a message to his long-lost family. The next day, I was sitting beside his brother in a 60,000-seat stadium. It\u2019s God taking you to the next level of His goodness.\n

If you haven\u2019t had a mind-blowing, game-changing sign, miracle, or wonder from the Lord Jesus Christ, you need an injection of goodness into your life.","hover":"\nWhich Wolf Do You Feed?\n

Jesus-driven thinking helps and heals. This is what the Bible has to say on the subject: For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. \u2013 Romans 8:6\n

The Cherokee nation knew it, too. Check out this spot-on tribal tale:\n

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life. He told the boy, \u201cA terrible fight is going on inside me. It is a fight between two wolves. One wolf is evil. He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and self-doubt.\"\n

The old man continued: \u201cThe other wolf is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.\u201d He then told the boy, \u201cThis same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person, too.\u201d\n

The grandson thought about it for a minute, then asked his grandfather, \u201cWhich wolf will win?\u201d The wise old chief replied, \u201cThe one you feed.\u201d\n

What wolf have you been feeding? Just know the wolf of evil thoughts will eventually devour you, and likely others as well. Thoughts become actions, and there is always collateral damage.\n

That\u2019s not you! You can control your thought life and ensure the evil wolf starves to death."}},"slug":"et_pb_blurb"}">Blessed by Signs,Miracles, and Wonders

Grounded in FaithDeclare!

My soul rejoices when I remember the signs the Lord used to show me Jesus. The miracle of having Jesus die and come back to life so that I could know that I will spend all of eternity with Him still amazes me. I am filled with wonder when I see Him at work in my life and in the lives around me. He still blows my mind, and I love Him more every day.
