It's a miracle (Miraculous Times)

Good morning. Well, as I said earlier, theme, this month is miraculous times and the types of this morning's message is it's a miracle? I know you save previously, mentioned definition of America but I'll just give them briefly here. Americal is a supernatural event by Gold's power braking, natural laws to reveal his presence and further his Divine purposes. There are different kinds of Miracles, like the one that Simon thinks he sees everyday, when I get up in the morning. I'm obviously not going to attempt to give a comprehensive overview of Miracle, but simply gave what I believed. The Lord is has for us today. Broadly speaking their own Miracles that will happen regardless of whether we pray or how much we pray or whether we agree or not. For example, Jesus will return. this is explicitly stated in different places in the Bible, including in the gospels of Matthew and John and also in Revelation 22:12, It will happen, whether people believe it or not and it will be a miracle people. Don't normally Die Rise Again, spend centuries in terms of all-time in heaven and then come back. Been there Americans that require us to share God's vision for the future, so that we will partner with him in them. we can partner with God, through obedience and otherwise, doing what God says in a particular situation where he gives us specific instruction, He may give us instruction, for example, three prophecy, it might be through the quickening of your heart. For example, when you reading something in the Bible, that even be nothing to do with the old situation, in the literal sense. But it leaps off the page is the best way I can describe it. And I've had others describe it today. that kind of a prompting Kanika in different contexts, to When I was at youth of acetate, I attended an Anglican Church. If anyone's ever attended an Anglican Church, you'll know that it's coming before communion for the victims, to say something like, when you're offering your gift, they alter. If you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift before the altar. I'm going to make peace and dhoni then come and offer your guests. What's this is about fellow Believers. It struck me ones that if it had been estranged from a particular person, some years he wasn't simple Ava, but I felt convicted that it wasn't right? And I should make contact However, I was at Uni, unless in the middle of refinancing for finals and I didn't know what I would have to do with emotionally either from the other person or in myself when I made contact. So, I decided to leave it until after my finals. Remember messaging wasn't an option back then. You picked up the phone or represent a letter. Do you remember that?

Anyway, off to Mike sounds, I picked up the phone and was pleasantly surprised by a friendly response. This also paved the way for others to make contact that person on the positive repercussions. If they are still being felt today, Given the situation and the characters involved that plays in Mexico. Office space inside Toys 10 outside. But what matters is that we honor God by a bang him when he promises to do something in love. we are responsible for our own actions and attitudes and not anyone else says obedience classes. Isaac says the Hebrews 5 verse 8. Thought he was God's son. Jesus, learned obedience through what he's suffered. so, it shouldn't surprise us with the Bajan skulls us to the results of chases partnering with God's revisions with the opportunity for the miracle of Salvation For All Mankind.

When Jesus got son died to pay the price, for our sins, he made a way, where there was no way for us to fulfill our potential and Destiny on this Earth until filled out to plan. Some Pepsis, for all our lives, which will always be far greater than we could dream up for ourselves. We then spend eternity with God in heaven. All part is the repent. Genuinely apologize to God and turn our backs on us and then surrender Our Lives to Jesus lochan. Send is anything that breaks the lore of love gods of others, love yourself.

Jesus died and rose again. That was to my significant miracle in human history. He tended to the 11th disciples as they were, eating it mocks fix 14. It says he rebuked them for their lack of faith and that stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him off that he had risen. Jesus has an expectation. That they would believe what he said and expects the impossible. The same is true for us.

What is God said to you, that looks impossible and hasn't happened yet. this isn't about believing fairy tales or just anything that anyone says, the book of 1st John chapter 4, it says believe is instructed not to believe every Spirit but to test them, basically, old prophecy should be tested in the light of scripture. To be clear process, a is a message from God, which is usually delivered through a human messenger, a prophet to his people. It can include. Telling. Telling you to speak in God's will offering guidance. And also for telling or predicting future events.

If it deviates from the trees in the word of God, if it encourages compromise, it's not. If the Lord is true Prophecy, from God weren't contradict the truth of his Eternal Word, the Bible.

But Jesus had prophesied that he would rise again after three days. So he wasn't sipos. Haven't believed those who had seen him after he'd risen. Similarly as God has spoken to you about something and it's not yet happened, it's important that we don't allow the delay to discourage of old, it takes out to all faith and potentially a bull sound. Very cool. We uncover off faith in the truth of God's word. By speaking account, praying and praising God, for what? We've not yet seen,

This is a small sign in the office that what that says those that seem to the invisible will do the impossible.

Jesus rebuked the disciples for the lack of faith. But we serve the god of the second chance. He then commissioned them, it mocks 16 verse 15? Jesus? Then said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Who has a believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe in my name, they will drive out demons. They will speak and you tongues, the replace the hands on the sick people, and they will get well.

God can choose to act so friendly. But he's the loving father who loves to involve his children and what he's doing. He wants pulpits children to work in the family business.

Miracles require us to share God's vision for the future so that we will partner with him in them. So let's look at the well-known story of Noah. This is recorded in Genesis chapters 6 to 9. I'm not going to read all of it. You replace tonight. Noah, my slight lived in Mesopotamia, the land situated between and around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Today, the Northern parts of Mesopotamia, Mesopotamia, or positive, Northern Iraq, and extend to Eastern Turkey at the extreme Northeast Syria. Mankind has began to multiply and evil was widespread on the earth, under the Lord regretted that he had made mine as it says in Genesis 6. + 6, that's got to be one of the saddest verses in the Bible. Segal decided to wipe off from the face of the Earth, all mankind, and all living creatures except Noah Genesis 6 verse 8, it says no effect on favor in the sight of the Lord. Jesus is a beet has Bulls us. Favor in the sight of the Lord. As it says, in 2 Corinthians 5-21. God made him who have no sin to be sin for us. So that in him, we might become the righteousness of God.

In other words, we are acceptable to God when we believe and trust in what Jesus did for us on the cross. Then we to have favor with almighty God himself, our heavenly father,

no, I found favor in the sight of the Lord and investment and it says no it was a righteous man blameless among his contemporaries Noah wolves. We all the seats are 9. How many people there on Earth back then, but give Genesis Express. One says that mankind began to multiply is, probably safe to say that one looks. A Noah was blameless among his contemporaries as it says in. Genesis 6, verse 9. This is one of several examples in the Bible of how God notices us as individuals, even if we're the only one doing our best to do what's right in the midst of others who were doing wrong. How hot is it to be the only person doing what's right before? God? It might be in your proud. It might be at work. It might be in your family. It might be not laughing at dirty jokes. It might be not lying or that would be convenient. Especially if your boss is told you to It might be not playing expenses is failing.

I can things. But lovely Christian, lady, who years ago on her first day, at a particular job was told by a colleague who is trying to be helpful and friendly. You'll need to sleep. If you want to do while in this company, She was horrified and that she did well without that. God gave favor.

The point is to pressure can be hard to resist depending on various factors. Including if you are being encouraged to do something that's terrible in your side, will something you consider to be just a little bit wrong. We ranks in in a way that God doesn't and how we rank. It can vary from country to Country and culture to culture.

Sometimes. Obedient to God can Costa's popularity. It can cost as friends. It can cost us family. It might cause some promotion, or even the jobs. And more. Obedience to God can cause as to walk a lonely road but one thing is sure. God will never leave us or forsake us. because when we keep him first and Alive's, because that's his promise and Hebrews 13 verse 5, it will be worth it. You can't put a price on God's favor of presents or a clear conscience. I know his strength of character must have been amazing to resist peer pressure and to be the person on the face of the Earth because of his faithfulness, have God's favor Obedience with the gateway to know his miracle. It might go be the gateway to ours. Genesis 6 verse 13, the goat said to Noah. I'm going to put an end to all people for the Earth is filled with violence because of them, I'm surely going to destroy both of them on the Earth. Go to include it or creatures because of the impact of sin on all creation, but righteousness and sin affect people and the environment because that's spiritual in essence. And the spirit realm is at the core of life.

God shed his plans with Nicole. Obedience may have cost Noah daily in many ways including socially but they brought him favor with God. Also Trust I said it many times and I'm going to say it again trust. It's the greatest gift, but one person can give to another in my opinion. And hey we seek God Anaheim. Oh mighty God. Trusting Noah just an ordinary man with his plans. Gold felt he could trust Noah because of no is obedient because of his faithfulness.

What would it be like for God to trust us with his plans? It might be for alives. It might be someone else 6. For projects, or an organization that you're part of. It might be for Church of your community. Maybe have experienced that they so ready?

How did you respond or how are you responding? Is there anything that you still need today? And it's a show prompts to get home with it.

Is there anything that you need to stop doing that? You've been reluctant to give up? And this is your prompt to stop it. If you can't think of a time when God has trusted you with his pants is good to pray, God's word as an expression of book, trust in it, for example in Jeremiah 29 versus 11 to 13. Jeremiah 29 versus 11 to 13. It says, I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord plans to prosper you and not to harm you any plans to give you hope and Future. Then you could call on me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

so we can pray for example, that I know that you have plans to me because your website say, Fun. Cheap. Feel plans to prosper me and not harm. Me and give me a hug and a future. I'm calling on you now, according to your word. Share them with me, please. Lord. I want to live in your best for me. Punchy. Feel promise to listen to me. I'm staking you with all my heart. Reveal yourself and your plans to me, please Lord, in Jesus name. We can pray God's word like this.

The back to Genesis 6, verse 13. Here, we see that God rewarded his faithfulness with his trust, which was another step towards his miracle. The patience to God, faithfulness to God's at rates that are within reach of his hole. We can all the bagel sweat and be faithful to his word to the degree that we have the relation, the revelation of it with his help. Thank God has Noah to build an ark in Genesis 6 verses 14 to take Spain. The Bible doesn't tell us what job now, it is before he began building the ark, but I'm pretty sure he would never have seen one before much. Less heard of them. It was a pretty bespoke vessel. Central and his trade as a shipwright if you like directly from the Lord. I have to be waterproof yet. Have enough oxygen flow for Noah. His wife that sounds induces, ignore and a zoo. if you consider all the various animals and birds that was to go with them, The song is a Seahawk with to be finished within 18in or 45 cm of the roof approximately because of this. But it would have had to feign, appreciate science science, fall vs reasons. Elsa hats be enough space for food and water for all of them. I know I would have needed to know how much of everything to pack and how to store it. They were on the ark from mumps approximately Iraq today. The flooding continued for 40 days and nights, according to Genesis 7. Not only was it to Rachel rain from above but those Subterranean Waters first. Genesis is cutting two times to 7-Eleven on the waters, flooded the Earth for 150 days. According to Genesis 724, then there was the wait for the waters to recede.

So Noah not tiny had to learn directly from God how to build the ark to Lost for this. Of time and meet the needs of all on board. He also had to learn project management to Oak my supplies on the work to build it and animal husbandry Chris Wallace. You may have had something over which you wouldn't have been an expert, Comcast for always, great chips. I can only imagine the smell on Bobo.

If you need a miracle at work or you may remember, God knows all trades. Subjects inside out. His knowledge and wisdom a limitless. Ask him whether it's not to do something how to prioritize. If you got lots going on, whatever it is, then trust him to answer and thank him. I say and if you're feeling snowed under speak to your Mountain as it says in Mark 11:23, Truly, I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, we lift it up and thrown into the sea and does not doubt in his heart the police. So what he says will happen, it will be done for him.

When I was working in social work, when I was driving to work in the morning, I regularly spoke to the mountain of work waiting for me and told it to be completely removed in Jesus name. More than once, not nice of times. But more than once, I remember going to my my manager and asking for work, because I had to pass the save them all each time. He nearly fell off his chair. In social work. As I'm sure it's the case in many jobs, manages don't generally wait to be off before they give you more work. Let me encourage you to speak to your proverbial Mountain. It's a Biblical principle.

According to Genesis 7-Eleven know I was 600 years old at the time of the flight when he was on the ark. You are never too old for Americo. You'll never too young. It's nothing to do with age. Think about what made I kind of doubt the hits miracle. Yes, it was God's grace. It's always about God's grace because none of us can undo anything from a massage. But no coding to Genesis 69 and otherwise he was faithful and he was obedient.

With God and we to connect the same choice to be faithful and obedient. Regardless of our age,

All faith in Jesus sacrifice and his perfect. Obedience has given us access to God's presence as it says in here, and make can't wait for us to partner with God in miracles.

As I heard someone say recently, we not living in a day of Miracles, we serve a god of Miracles. It's not about to season. It's about a person. Jesus model of Prayer in Matthew 6.

But the dogs could find no answer part because there was water if it will the surface of the Earth. So it returned to Noah and the Ark He reached out his hand and took it off and brought it back to himself at the ark. Go away super weak. Then repeated the exercise. This time in Genesis 8-11, the Dove came back with a fresh olive leaf in her bed with you had subsided on the Earth. A week later when he sent it up out again, the dove didn't return.

And what if they lingered in New York after the inspection to leave? May be due to a prehension about what the world would look like now.

As it says, the song says, she 2 verses 8 to 9 but some such as cheap as his 8 to 9 and again I'm going to read from the passion translation. I hear the Lord saying I will stay close to you instructing and guiding you along the path. Wait for your life. I will advise you along the way and Lead You forth with my eyes as your guys. It don't make it difficult. Don't be stubborn when I take you where you've not being before. Don't make me talk to you. I'm pulling you alone, just come with me. This is important advice for us when we Face the unknown and otherwise, that which is due for us, nothing is new to go. Where God guides he provides.
