Miracle.

All over the New Testament, we see people performing miracles. People are healed, they’re saved, they’re freed from possession and strife. If you’ve read any of the New Testament, perhaps especially Matthew-Acts, you’ll know what I’m talking about. The Bible is full of miracles, of God doing the supernatural for the benefit of His people.

Nowadays, there are plenty of people who say miracles were for a different time, that since Biblical times, we no longer experience miracles, that God essentially changed His mind.

Today, I’m here to tell you that this is simply not the case.

Let’s start out with a verse:

Hebrews 3:18 – Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (NIV)

Jesus is God. They’re the same person, the same entity, the same being. And if Jesus cannot change, then God cannot change either. If He were to change, then He would be a liar, and He would no longer be God. 

It is not within His power to lie, to change His ways.

But I bet you're thinking, what does that have to do with miracles?

Well, miracles took place plentifully in the Bible. In the New Testament, Christians performed miracles in the name of Jesus. That was God’s will for His people, that we should go out and be as Christ. That’s why we call ourselves Christians, or “little Christs.” Our purpose is to be like Him, to mirror His time on this Earth.

Mark 16: 17-18 reminds us of this:  

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (KJV)

That’s what we’re supposed to be like. Those are the things we’re supposed to be doing. God didn’t change His mind – He doesn’t do that. To do so would make Him changeable, which would not make Him God.

Miracles are intended to still occur. In fact, they still do. People receive healings from God every day. They do. All you have to do is look, and you’ll find them. He’s still out there, He’s still working in signs, wonders, and miracles – and He still desires for His people to be well. 

We should have no excuse not to carry out His work in this manner, in love.
