Walking Miracles

 

Walking Miracles

Studying more in the gospels of how Jesus healed people has shown me a depth of how the miracle was done in a way to always reveal the heart of God. The miracles were not only physical ones but of the mind, or healing of the soul, or physical in a way that fed people where there wasn’t any food or turning water into wine. That is just the gospels! That word miracle is one definition in the worldly sense I found was, “in an extraordinary event caused by divine intervention or a supernatural force. And the biblical definition I found was, “a supernatural event where God directly intervenes in the natural order, displaying His power and glory to achieve His purposes.” The God of the Old Testament was doing miracles in the New Testament and still is doing them today.

I was reading today about how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. This particular miracle was done in a way that was jumping off the page as I read it today. I have heard this story many times but today as I was looking at it through a lens of seeing the Jesus who was the Word was doing it. Lazarus is dead. He has been dead for four days and Jesus says, “Let's go to him.” Lazarus is in the tomb and greets Mary and Martha and Martha says, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn’t have died. Yet even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” John 11: 20

Martha knew that Jesus was the God of the impossible. It was this verse that was standing out after Jesus told her her brother would rise again. “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life the one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 

Do you believe this? Or will you believe the lie that nothing can be raised up from the dead?

A walking miracle. I was thinking about this the other day. Death loses its sting. Lazarus was brought back from the dead. The Great I Am was demonstrating that He was watching, leading, and saving us and He did it in a way that they would see the miracle of Him continue to show us His faithful hand. How many things have I been brought through because of His faithful hand upon me? 

“For you were once darkness, but now you are the light in the Lord. Live as children of the light- for the fruit of the light.” consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth.” Ephesians 5:8-9

A walking miracle because He empowers me, propels me, lifts me, and opens doors so I can bless others. 

Testify to the Light.
