Good morning and welcome back to How Care Let's Pray Ministries. I am so excited and grateful that you all are here this morning. And this morning we're going to talk about as our devotional miracles, signs, and wonders. The God who still moves. The God that is still available. The God that is still hearing and answering in prayers. Amen. Our topic is miracles, signs, and wonders. I want to thank you all for spending this time with me right now. And I'm praying that God will come in throughout this podcast to touch, move, and have his way in our homes, in our cars as we're driving. We're praying for God's traveling grace this morning, too. Amen. That he will take us to and from, keeping us safe on the highways, the sideways, the bad ways, wherever our feet and mold of transportation should try, amen. We truly praying that today's a good day. And as always, that you will smell, smell, smell. Amen. I just want to take a moment to just be with you in this moment. Talking about the power to strengthen your faith. Talking about how you can get renewed hope. And to remind you that God has not changed. My prayer is that by the end of this time that we share together right now, you will not only remember what God has done in Scripture, but you will also believe again what He is able to do in your life. God is so good and so awesome. God is so amazing. And I want you to know how to turn the music down. But I want you to know that God is awesome. Hebrews 13 and 8 tells us Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forevermore. Malachi 3 and 6 reminds us, for I am the Lord, I change not. Amen. Can I ask you all a question? Have you ever read the miracles in the Bible and wondered if God still works that way today? Maybe you've heard stories of healing, restoration, provision, or divine intervention and thought. That happened for them, but could God do something like that for me? And I want you to know this morning that today that answer is still yes. The same God who ported the Red Seas is still God. The same God who shut the mouths of lions is still God. The same God who raised Lazarus from the dead is still God. The same Jesus who opened blind eyes, healed broken bodies, restored broken hearts, and calm raging storms is still seated on the throne today. God's power has not weakened, his arm has not shortened, his authority has not diminished, his glory has not faded, my brothers and my sisters. Sometimes what changes is not God, it is our expectations. We become familiar with church but forget the power that God has within the church. We become accustomed to prayer, but forget who we're talking to. And I want y'all know here lately I've been praying, pleading, interceding, begging God to do a new thing, amen. To give us a new perspective and to open our eyes to see his glory, to open our ears to hear what thus saith the Lord, to brave where our tongue can only speak what he calls us to speak. Amen. I want you to know the stories do not stop. God is still speaking good stories, good examples of what we can expect from him, because he is the one who wrote the entire Bible, touching stones and letting them witness and counter his glory, his son's glory. Amen. And you may be asking, well, what is miracles? Well, I'm glad you asked. Because a miracle is a supernatural act of God that goes beyond human ability and understanding. It is when God steps into what seems impossible and reveals his power. Amen. Miracles are not accidents, miracles are not luck. Miracles are God's fingerprints on situations where only He could receive the glory. Ephesians 3 and 20 states, Now unto him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think according to the power that worketh in us. I want you to notice the scripture says God can do more than we can ask or imagine. That means your limitation is not God's limitation. Your impossibilities is not God's impossibilities. Your dead end is often God's starting point. Amen. Thank you, Lord, hallelujah. That you've not done with us yet. What are signs? Signs point people toward God, a constant reminder that He is still alive, He is still available, and He is still with us. Amen. A sign is evidence that God is present, active, and working. When Jesus healed the sick, those healings were signs. When he fed 5,000 souls with a few fish and a few loaves of bread, it was a sign that he could still provide. When he walked on the water, it was a sign. The miracle met a need, the sign revealed his identity, and the sign declared, This is God still at work. What are wonders? I'm so glad you asked. Wonders are the moments that leave us speechless in the presence of God. They produce all. They remind us that God is far greater than our understanding. A wonder causes us to stop and say, only God could have done this. Have you ever looked back over your life and realized there were moments when God protected you, moments when he provided unexpectedly, moments when he opened a door no person could open, moments when he gave peace that made no sense. Those are wonders. Not every wonder makes the news. Some wonders happen quietly in the hearts of God's people. And I want you to know that the purpose of all this is to sometimes help us to focus not so much on the miracle, but on the message that God is trying to provide. The purpose of miracles is not simply to amaze us, the purpose is to reveal God. St. John 20, 30 and 31 states, and many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples. But these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God. Amen. Miracles build faith. Wonders inspire worship. Everything leads us back to God. I want you to know that the greatest miracle that I can share with you all today is God is still performing miracles. Amen. The greatest miracle is not merely physical healing, the greatest miracle is salvation. When a sinner becomes a child of God, a miracle has happened. When shame becomes freedom, a miracle has happened. When addiction loses its grip, a miracle has happened. When bitterness becomes forgiveness, a miracle has happened. Oh, hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. When a broken heart begins to heal, a miracle has happened. 2 Corinthians 5 and 17 states, therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Amen. All things pass away, all things become new. God is still performing the miracle of transformation right now. If you want to know, like what do I do while I'm waiting on God's miracle? What do I do when I'm waiting on God's wonder and his signs to let me know that something's about to happen great in my life, that he's gonna turn this mess around, that he's gonna provide deeper than he's ever done before, that he's gonna open up my heart to love him more. Like, when is he gonna show me these things? And I want you to know that God is doing it, but we gotta recognize what he's doing in the waiting, right? You might be waiting for so many things: healing, provision, restoration, guidance, love, peace, joy. And God is saying, I'm in the room. I want you to know when you allow God to come into your room, into your heart, your faith will elevate to believe and know that God is gonna do great things, right? Because God is working even when you cannot see it. While you're waiting, God is increasing your faith. While you're waiting, God is molding and transforming. While you're waiting, God is healing, right? So I want you to know that sometimes God performs an instant miracle, and on the other hand, he performs a process to get to the miracle. Either way, he is still working. We gotta believe in our heart, master, souls, and spirit that God is still working on our behalf. And before we pray, I want you all to take a few moments and to honestly think about these questions and apply them to your own heart. And that first question I want to ask you all is that we can say to ourselves, what miracle am I believing God for right now? If God answered every prayer today, would it draw me closer to him or simply make my life easier? That's a really good question. If God answered every prayer that I have prayed for right now, would it draw me closer to him or simply make my life easier? And I want you to know that if he answered all my prayers right now, that right there is my signs, miracles, and wonders that would draw me closer to him. But this is the kicker, whether he answered them or not, I'm still gonna draw closer to him. He's not a genie in the bottle for me. He's my father. And I know he loves me, I know he cares for me, I know he restores me. I know that he renews me. I know that he revives me, right? So even if God came and did everything I asked him to do, I'm still gonna love him, regardless if he does it, if he don't. And if he doesn't, oh my God, God, you it just shows me how much more he loves me. It shows me how much he cares for me. And even if he doesn't do anything else, I'm still gonna give him the praise and the honor and the glory. I'm still gonna say he's an awesome God. I'm still gonna say, yay, though I walk through the valley of shadow death, I know that you're with me. Because God has been a provider, a protector, a comforter, a peace. God has been so many things. So whether he does it or not, I'm still gonna give him the glory and honor. Whether he blesses me with five things or blesses me with a thousand things, I'm still gonna praise his holy name. Let us go to the Lord in prayer. Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, we humbly bat your throne this morning, full of grace, mercy, and favor, oh God. Just saying thank you. Please forgive us of our sin, seen and unseen. Today, oh God, with hearts full of reverence and gratitude and expectation. God, we recognize that you are still on the throne. We recognize that you're in the room with us right now. We recognize that you you are hearing and answering our prayers. Holy Father, we know that you are the Alpha and the Omega. We know that you are the beginning and the end. We know that you're the author and the finisher of our faith, and that's so important to know. Holy Father, we know that you are El Shada, the all-sufficient one. Holy Father, we know that you are Jehovah Jarrah, our provider. Holy Father, we know that you are Jehovah Rah, our healer. Jehovah Shalom, our peace, and Jehovah Nisi, our banner of victory. Holy Father, in the name of Jesus, we pause to acknowledge your greatness. Holy Father, the heavens declared your glory, the earth reveals your handiwork, the oceans obeyed your command, the stars remained in place before you spoke them into existence. There is none like you. And God, we say thank you. Thank you for loving us. Thank you for restoring us. And Holy Father, thank you for every listener under the sound of my voice. I pray that you would awaken fresh faith within them this morning. Where hope has diminished, oh God, I pray that you were restored. Where disappointment has settled in, Heavenly Father, I pray that you were uprooted, oh God. Where fear has spoken lighter than their faith, oh God. Henry Father, I pray that you will silence it with your truth, with your favor, with your signs, miracles, and wonders, oh God. Holy Father, remind them that you are still the God of miracles, signs, and wonders. Holy Father, I want you to touch every place that feels impossible. Holy Father, you said in your word wherever our feet shall try and shall be ours. Holy Father, lead them according to your will and your way. Touch the broken heart, touch the lost souls, touch the weary minds, troubled homes, and strained finances, oh God. Holy Father, we're praying in the name of your name, God, your Son's name, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, oh God, that you will touch relationships in need of restoration, touching bodies that need to be healed, touching dreams that seem forgotten, oh God, touching prayers that's been prayed for years and years and years. Holy Father, let your glory be revealed. Not our fame, not our recognition. But God, we want you to get the glory in everything, oh God. Holy Father, let miracles be birthed where there was barreness, let peace arise where there was anxiety. Let wisdom come where there was confusion, oh God. Let strength come where there is weakness, oh God, and let doors open. That can't nobody shut, oh God. Holy Father, I'm praying that chains will break, bondage will be released, and burdens will be lifted, oh God. God, set us free, oh God. I pray. God, we praying for freedom this morning. We're praying for peace this morning. Holy Father, help us not merely seek miracles, but God help us to seek you this morning. God, we desire you more than anything this morning. God, we desire your presence more than provision. God, we desire your heart more than seeking your hand, oh God. God, teach us to trust you while we wait. Teach us to worship you before we see it. Teach us to believe that everything is going to be alright. Holy Father, may every testimony bring glory to your darling son Jesus Christ's name. May every breakthrough become an opportunity to worship and give you glory, oh God. God, I'm praying that someone can be a witness this week to your glory, to your blessings, to your signs and wonders, oh God. God, I'm praying that someone has an encounter with you this week, that you revive their heartbeat, that they can breathe a little bit better, that they can feel the weight coming off their shoulders, that they're not trying to be pleasing in everybody's eyesight. They're only trying to be pleasing in yours, oh God. Honey Father, I decree and declare that this morning that you're still moving. I decree and declare this morning that you are still sending the breakthrough. I decree and declare this morning that you're transforming things for our good, oh God. Holy Father, I decree and declare that this morning that you are still going to heal. You're still going to save. You're still going to restore. You're still going to deliver, oh God. In the name of Jesus, I know there's power in the name of Jesus. I know there's healing in the name of Jesus. I know there's restoration in the name of Jesus. So, God, I'm asking you this morning to cover every person under the sound of my voice and allow them to call on your darling son's name, Jesus, this morning and say, Here I am. I surrender all. Speak a life into their eyesight. Speak life into their dreams and their visions. Speak life into their speech. Speak a life into their hearing, oh God. Holy Father, while you're still performing these miracles, signs, and wonders, God, we're going to give you all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise. God, we worship you this morning. We exalt you this morning. We're in all this morning of your splendor and your beauty, oh God. God, fill our hearts with your fire. Fill our hearts with your passion. Fill our hearts with your word. Fill our hearts with your presence. Fill our hearts with your Holy Spirit. God, fill us this morning with everything you have for us to know, oh God. And we want wisdom. Give us wisdom, oh God. Speak life, oh God, I pray. Have your way, oh God. This morning we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you all for joining me today on our care let's pray ministries. And as we go throughout this day, I want you all to remember this. The God who opened the red seas is still making a way today. He's poured in the red seas in your life. The God who raised Lazarus from the dead still brings life to dead situations. You may think it's not going to revive itself. You may think it's over and done with. But God says, if it's my will, I'm going to bring it back to life. The God who healed the sick still has power to heal you today. Whether it's mental, physically, spiritually, or emotionally, or financially, God is still healing. Believe that. Believe that God is still performing miracles. If he performed them yesterday, he's going to perform them right now. So I want you to keep on believing, keep on praying, keep on expecting, keep on fasting, keep on trusting and believing that God is still the God of miracles, signs and wonders. Until next time, I want you to be encouraged, stay in God's presence, and remember nothing is impossible with God. Grace and peace may it be with you all throughout the day and forevermore. Amen. Smile and rejoice and be blessed.
