JESUS STILL DOES MIRACLES | Pastor Paul Daugherty

hey Victor online we are so glad that you decided to join us posture pause and an incredible message about miracles that he's gonna be preaching without further ado let's jump into the message if you're so overwhelmed with worry and stress can I tell you today have faith in God he still does miracles he still moves mountains he still rolls away the stones God can do it and he wants to do it in your life today and so I want to give you some scriptures today to stir up your faith in mark 11 verse 22 jesus said this have faith in God let's say that together have faith in God notice that Jesus doesn't say have faith in yourself because you can't save you you can't do what only God can do he doesn't say have faith in your boss have faith in your employer have faith in the whole person scholarship that's going to be given at oru no God says have faith in God because God's the only one who could do those things that you need to be done that no doctor could do no counselor could do no employer could do how many y'all need God to move on your behalf right what what is a miracle a miracle is an act of God it's when God shows up on your behalf for your good for your favor when God does what you cannot do on your own when God does what you cannot buy with your money what you cannot accomplish through your connections it was an act of God there's people in this room today you've experienced the act of God in your life you've seen miracles happen you should have died in a car accident but an act of God miraculously you were delivered you should have died from that cancer but an act of God a miracle that you're still alive today your marriage should have been over 10 years ago but an act of God a miracle saved your marriage you should be in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt but an act of God provided what you needed to pay that off can I tell you God still does miracles today and he wants to do one for you and so Jesus says have faith in God now where do we get faith faith comes by hearing Romans 10 verse 17 says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God the more that I hear God's Word the more that I become aware of what God can do the more that I hear that God heals the sick that God provides money for those that are in need that God helps people that are in very difficult situations the more I have the faith to believe that God can do it for me if he did it for them he can do it for me so faith comes by hearing and the hearing of God's word but faith also comes from knowing God's will in 1st John chapter 5 verse 14 it says now this is the confidence ever said confidence like God wants you and I to walk in confidence when we talk to God when we pray to God God doesn't want us coming in going I know you don't like me God I know you're just tolerating us here on earth you're not a very nice God so Lord I'm just hoping I'm wishing I don't know if you would but would you possibly just let me win the spiritual lottery ticket Lord pick me to get a miracle this week I know you only pick a few people each week so can I be one of them please you know God wants all of us to approach him with confidence to believe that he wants to move on our behalf because he's a good good father and so John says this this is the confidence we have in him that if we ask anything everyone say anything now I'm gonna give you the key right now anything according to his will he hears us and the next verse says and if we know that he hears us then whatever we ask we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him in other words God answers prayers but he answers prayers that are asked according to his will you might be in here today and you say man I you know I want candy all day every day could God bless me with that well we got to look in the Bible is that God's will for you to have candy all day every day see see there's a lot of people that they don't have the confidence to ask God for things because they're not sure whether God wants that for them and so we've got to discover what is God's will does God want to bring healing into our lives does God want to bring provision into our lives because does God want to give you direction some of you are unsure about the future you're wondering you know am I gonna have a job when I graduate college am I gonna be in debt for the rest of my life will I ever get married will we ever have children will I ever find the right person for me will my kids ever get right with God will my husband ever be free of this addiction will my wife ever whatever those things are that you're but you're wondering you've got to go to God's Word and say is it God's will to bring healing into my life now Jesus said in John 10 verse 10 this is a good indicator of what God's will is for your life the thief comes to steal to kill and to destroy but jesus said I have come to give you life and life more abundantly there are some people who think Jesus just wants us to suffer he just wants us to suffer suffer suffer suffer suffer and that all of our lives were supposed to suffer and live defeated and discouraged and under our circumstances were never supposed to be able to help people or be the lender we're always supposed to be the borrower and I'm thinking what Bible are you reading the suffering is only connected to preaching the gospel other than that if you're suffering financially Jesus actually wants you to be blessed to be a blessing so if you're suffering financially you're believing a belief that's actually not true according to the Word of God God says I will meet all of your needs according to my riches and glory in Christ Jesus Jesus said you can have what you asked you can ask you can seek you can knock on the door and it will be open to you and which of you fathers on earth if your child asked for a piece of bread you would hand them a rattlesnake and how much more does your father in heaven want to give you the good things of the kingdom of God God wants to bless you God wants to help you God wants to move on your behalf the legal battle that you're in right now God wants to make things turn around in your favor God wants to show up he wants to get to glory he wants to provide for you he wants to deliver you he wants to heal you he wants you to have an abundant life but there's things that stop us from experiencing that and today I want to tell you there's really three things that I think hold us back from experiencing the power of God the miraculous power of God working in our lives and before I share those three things with you I've got a question for you here's my question right here do you believe that it is God's will to heal and and I would also say fill in the blank not just to heal do you believe it is God's will to provide for you do you believe it is God's will for you to experience a mental health emotional health physical health spiritual health do you believe it is God's will for you to have an abundant life all right a do you believe it's God's will for some people to be healed B do you believe it's God's will for no people to experience healing or provision or protection or mental or emotional health or do you believe only the people in the Bible times got to experience the miraculous power of God or D anyone at any time could experience God's miraculous power at any point in history how many always say D that's you all right that's about seventy percent of us in the room I'm going for a hundred percent and I'm preaching this message for you I want you to leave today convinced that God does not have any favorites in the room that God wants to move on anyone's behalf the same God that has shown up for my father who's now in heaven for Billy Graham who's down in heaven for Lester Sumrall for people in the past for people in the Bible times that same God he wants to show up on your behalf he wants to move in your life he wants to move through you he is no he has no favorites you are all children of God you are all candidates for a miracle turn to the person actually say you are a candidate for a miracle you are right for a miracle you are in due season it is springtime you are about to experience some miracles in your life come on charts so number one the thing and I want to tell you this the power of God is a lot like a shower if you were to step into a shower and turn it on and all you saw was a drip of water you would wonder what's wrong with my shower I'm supposed to be getting more water so you'd call someone they come and look at it and suppose they were to look inside the pipes and they say you've got a lot of things that are clogging up your pipes so the water can't get through that's why you're only experiencing a drip or the waters not even coming out or it's just a little trickle of it you've got to get the stuff out of the pipe so the water can come through and in the same way God's power wants to move in your life I don't want just a trickle of God's power I don't want just a drip I want the whole abundant shower I want I want the fullness of God and the fullness of Christ flowing in me and through me and I want it all for his glory I'm not I'm thinking this if we only get one chance to live I want the abundant life that God has promised you and I but in order to do that I've got to check the areas in my heart that might be clogging the vessel that the waters trying to flow through and I think the first thing is unbelief in God unbelief in God there's people who go to church and they hear the sermons and they say well I'm sure God you know did something for somebody but he hasn't done it for me I'm sure God is real I'm sure God you know or maybe you're here today he said I don't know if God is real I'm just here I'm just checking this thing out and I'm glad you're here you're in the right place because today you're gonna experience the reality of God and his power and his ability to move in this place but unbelief in God Thomas dealt with this he was a follower of Christ and yet when the disciples came to him and they said Jesus rose from the dead he said I don't believe it I don't believe it and I won't believe it until I see it there's a lot of people like that I won't believe it till I see it but I'm telling you today it can't always work like that you've got to release your belief in God before you see the miracle before you see the breakthrough that's what faith is faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things that's not yet seen and if you will release your faith in God what you're doing is your unclogging the vessel some of you you stopped believing in God's power in your life because you had a disappointment your past you prayed for God to move you prayed for God to heal you prayed for God to provide and it didn't happen and you know what you're not alone in that I've been there too but I cannot base my theology off of my experiences because my experience I'll be on a roller coaster of ups and downs and highs and lows my theology can't be made out of a sandcastle I've got to have a firm foundation Jesus said build your house on the rock if you will hear my words put my words into practice you will be able to stand through the storms and the tests I can't explain why some things didn't happen or did happen but I'm not gonna get caught up in bitterness questioning whether God still wants to bring miracles in and through my life I'm moving forward with faith I would rather live with faith than live with the cynical heart I would rather live with hope then live with the bitter spirit we only get one chance to live why not release faith today in God's power in his love and His mercy and His grace and his healing power his provision his protection I want to invite my friend Natalie kreski up here because she just got back from missions and she saw God move through her life as she and other team members release their faith to see God's healing power float Natalie tell him what happened yeah on the first day that we were there I was with the senior group the the 12th graders and the first day that we were there we went into a school of about 500 students and first we did you know our dramas and we share the gospel with him and a lot of them got saved and got healed and after the service was over one of the teachers she walked over to me with one of the girls one of the students probably middle school I would say is what age the school was and through a translator found out that the little girl was deaf and the lady was wanting me to pray over the little girl and so I just started praying honestly releasing my faith the translator was translating but you know I was like God you know you care about this girl more than you know any of any of us even can in our natural ability and so prayed over her laid hands on her and we saw as soon as I opened my eyes the teacher just had tears streaming down her face and I just said you know okay through the translator okay talk to her let's see if she can hear us you know do something that she couldn't do before and so the little girl just looked up at me and you could tell she was hearing for the first time and it was the most incredible moment for this little girl and out of five hundred yeah praise God so good you know how to 500 500 kids there you know God noticed her in her need and you could tell that teacher was so burdened for her and then as we were getting on the bus and the teacher came running over to me with another kid you know cuz when people see that this thing works that the gospel works there is a there is a drawing for people to that and so she brought over another little a little boy for me to pray over that had autism she said and I didn't really have a translator there so I heard the word autistic and he was he was really honestly he was acting wild and I just was like okay no translator we're doing this just laying my hands on him and he immediately he just put his hands down by side closed his eyes took a deep breath and it just the the peace of God was all over him and so I just believe that God worked a miracle in him we didn't have it confirmed through the translator but naturally with what I saw it was powerful and you know Romans 2 says that God is not a respecter of persons he doesn't show favoritism and so no matter who you are here in Tulsa he doesn't care more about Dominicans than Americans you know it's whoever is available and willing and yielding themselves he is willing to heal so powerful powerful you know I want you to go to Luke chapter 7 verse 11 because this is a story of a miracle that happened and often times we think in our mind well you know Paula haven't been good enough to receive a miracle or I I haven't earned enough points spiritually to to see a miracle happen in my life financially or in my marriage or in my health I don't know if God could cure this if God could do this it's too impossible you know this is as good as it gets I remember talking to one person recently who said Paul when I was really young I experienced the miracle in my life our family it was an act of God something happened that we could not do no doctor could do no medicine could do and it was an act of God it was a miracle but after that miracle our family prayed for some other things to happen and then those things didn't happen and so we had this disappointment with God and this disappointment even in ourselves and in our prayers and so we still went to church we didn't get bitter but we just accepted an unholy contentment that God could only do one miracle for our family and that we had experienced the one miracle he had and that that's how God works that you know everybody gets their one miracle don't ask for anything more you got your one miracle that's enough for the rest of your life each person gets one and that's the way they fought theologically they just accepted you know only we only get one but this person went on a mission strip and after the mission strip they saw God doing all of these miracles overseas in people's lives and you know multiple people experiencing multiple miracles more than one and they walked away and they said you know the reality is God doesn't just want us to experience one miracle in our lifetime he wants us to experience a lifetime of miracles a lifetime of miracles you might have had one great thing happen as a kid but God has not stuck in the 80s he's not stuck in the 90s he's not stuck in what he did 12 years ago he wants to do a new miracle in your life today and in this church I'm telling you today the best days are right in front of you God's not finished with you yet he sees you he hears you he knows what you're walking through and he's not limited to certain miracles God can do a miracle in your mental health God can do a miracle in your heart some of you are brokenhearted because you lost someone you loved your husband died your wife died you dad died maybe someone that you love maybe you outlived your kids and you're here today and you say paw just I don't know if my heart will ever be healed from this I don't know if my heart will ever feel like it is alive again I feel like when they died I died on the inside I want to tell you today we serve a god of resurrection life he can still heal broken hearts he can still heal broken marriages God can redeem and restore and reconcile and make all things new and so today I want you to look at the scripture and Luke 7-eleven there was this family that was walking and Jesus was walking on the opposite side and this was in a town called nain everybody say Maine now nein it's an interesting name name nain name that the name of the town nein it actually means beautifully afflicted beautifully afflicted it's two meanings together its beauty and affliction but this town was like a collision of beauty and affliction and what's crazy is that's what's about to happen in this passage that beauty is about to meet affliction life is about to collide with death and and so Jesus is walking he just got done with the church service I want to show this year I want to I want to exemplify this to you there's there's a family that's carrying a dead man so I need I need some people over here I think some of you guys are ready Sam will you be the dead guy you just act head over there and and Jesus is walking with a couple of church members he just got done with the church service will you guys hop up here be be the church members that walk with me I need a couple more we all will y'all come and join me let's walk together I need a couple more yeah so Jesus is walking and he just got done preaching the Sermon on the Mount so they're all happy they're excited they got the Jesus swag they're just you know having so much fun they're on a mountaintop but these other people are walking and look what Luke 7 says it says there was a widow who was walking with these mourners because her son had just died isn't this this is life right here this is life where people who are walking with victory are meeting people who are walking through death this is Sunday morning service that on the same row where one family celebrating that they just had a baby boy there's another family this morning that they just had a miscarriage you wonder why I asked us to raise each other's hands every Sunday and say a victory confession it's because some of you you're here on that row and others of you you're right here you're on the mountaintop God's been good you got a promotion you had a baby your baby got healed but someone else's baby is dead and they're right next to you or their son has drifted from God they've got a prodigal son a prodigal daughter and right there in the town of nain there's this collision between life and death hope and hopelessness faith and fear doubt and belief and Jesus sees the widow mourning will you be the widow will you stand up and be the mother of this son but I want you to act sad I want you to act sad so she's crying and she's weeping and and Jesus encounters this Widow now imagine that you're the widow imagine not only has your husband died so she had already lost her husband but now her only Son her only child that was her future that son was supposed to take care of her that was her 401k that was that was everything you laughing but I'm telling you like this woman has lost all that she had she has no more family members and she's here and she feels hopeless is this how it ends is this how it ends so many of you you're in situations right now and you try your best on Sunday to put on your smile but the beautiful thing about name is that Jesus doesn't just hang out with everyone who's doing well he walks right into the mess he stands right next to the person who's hurting and he puts his hand on her shoulder says don't cry The Audacity for Jesus to say don't cry the reason he's saying don't cry is he's trying to tell her this is not how it ends this is not how it ends it's not how it ends in that legal situation you're in right the death it's piled up in your life some of you you're hopeless right now you've got a gun at the house and you're thinking Paul I might as well just end it cuz I feel hopeless this is my last chance my last-ditch effort I'm here at church but I feel dead and I'm staring at a dead boy I'm staring at a dead situation and Jesus says this is not how it ends this is not how it ends and I love what happens before Jesus brings healing he actually touches the dead thing religion says back then that people who were alive could not touch anyone that was dead it made you unclean it made you dirty to touch anything that was dirty it separated you from God religion always draws us further from compassion religion always drives us away from intimacy away from actually feeling in our hearts what God wants to do religion tries to keep us at a distance from God's power but Jesus broke the religious barriers he touches the death Jesus is not afraid to touch the dead things in your life Jesus is not afraid to touch the dirty things in your life the thing that you want to hide from everyone in the church Jesus says I can I can heal that perverted thing I can set you free from that addiction the thing that you feel like is never gonna get better that you feel like this is just the way it is we just weren't one of the lucky ones see Jesus cares about you and he puts his hand there and he says young man I say to you get up and the man sat up breath filled his nostrils and he showed the son to his mother and in that moment everything changed yeah give these guys a big hand can I tell you today that what Jesus did in Luke seven eleven he wants to do for you it wasn't just that miracle it was another one the Centurion who cared about his servant he said just say the word Jesus he had faith to believe that Jesus could bring here and Jesus is still doing it today while while I was in Dominican Republic this last week we were doing an outdoor service a revival service and this man came he was demon-possessed he was flailing his arms and his whole body fell on the ground and he was manifesting like possession of demons if you don't think there's a devil you just need to be exposed to some other countries and some other places because there's a real devil there's real darkness out there five people were trying to hold this man down and he was overpowering all five of them and they began to pray for him they were just there to pray for him just to believe that God had a plan for his life he was oppressed he was depressed he was possessed but in that moment as we begin to pray and the band begin to sing worship his body just sat still and all of a sudden the power and the presence of God overpowered the darkness that was inside him he got up from there and he was in his right mind he asked Jesus into his heart he was completely saved by the power and the grace of God this is not how it ends for your son this is not how it ends for you you are not stuck with that addiction you are not stuck with that sickness you are not stuck in that depression you are not stuck with that doubt with that fear with that darkness you are not stuck in that financial setback your problem is an opportunity for God to show up he still moves stones he still raises the dead he still heals blind eyes and deaf ears he still sets men free from addictions and depression and possession he still brings light in the darkness I want you to see this video because it was powerful what happened you're gonna see that man on the stage in this video but we went last week as a church we went to Dominican Republic in Guatemala many of you in this room were part of it and miracles happen salvations happen and I want you to see what God did through your faith in God through these people stepping out and putting their faith in God watch what happens oh Jesus your whether your first time [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] come on Jesus 20 1957 people got saved in one week 455 people confirmed healed in one week he still heals he still heals he still heals he still does miracles and the situation you're in right now this is not how it ends God has a set up God has a comeback for you God has a miracle for you I want to invite Josh come up here Josh he went on the trip he's a volunteer on staff at Victory and I got to just say this about Josh him and I have have something very deep in common his father was a pastor just like my father's father went on to be with the Lord at a young age and his father had reached thousands of Burmese people in Tulsa I remember going to his father's funeral and seeing him and his sister up there and I just had flashbacks of going to my dad's funeral because I mean this whole room the entire floor all the way up to the seventh row Section B was filled with people who were touched by his father that Burmese people that he reached that he brought Jesus to and the legacy lives on Josh is carrying the torch reaching so many people tell tell them what God did through you and the team in Dominican come on I want to encourage you guys today to expect a miracle you see there's an amazing story than the amazing testimony that happened with a ninth-grade team they had gone out for the food distribution for one of the days that were happening they had gone to this woman's house this woman she had lost her husband she had six kids to take care of she was having trouble getting food over to her house but she decided if she heard that maybe she needs to just start boiling water she needs to expect it and she heard from God she needs to start boiling water so he's boiling water and one of our ninth grade teens with the food distribution they come into their house I said hey how you doing do you believe in Jesus and things like that and then they said hey we just came here to bear grip to bear gifts and we want to give you this food and she was looking for food all month all month but she decided to expect a miracle and she decided to start boiling water and guess what happen God provided food but I believe that's one of the two miracles that happen because there was also a team member on the team who went out there and they had been in that same position growing up as well where they were looking for food growing up they didn't know where I was coming from but for that team member to be able to be a part of that opportunity to go for God to say hey the obstacle that you were going through in your life I'm gonna I'm gonna change that for you to be somebody that I can work through for an opportunity for somebody else I think that that speaks so much as well of what God's heart is stay up here Josh you know the thing I love about that that miracle is we saw God bring healing to a lot of people but also the provision that you know we brought food to help bless people but in that situation it was like this person needed it so bad and like he said they were expecting it to happen but the second thing that I think blocks us from experiencing the miraculous power of God is an unwillingness to trust in God's Word and unwilling to trust and what God has said so how do we combat that lack of trust in God we put our trust in action Trust is not trust until you act on it like I could say I trust Josh but a Josh asks for the keys to my car am I gonna hold on I don't trust you that much trust is only trust when it's put into action if josh invited me over to his house and said hey paul do you trust me i said yes and then he says eat this food that I cooked for you I said well hold up I don't know if I trust you trust his only trust until I put it into action I eat the meal I give him the keys to my car in the same way with God many of us will sing Jesus Jesus how I trust you but then on Sunday or the opportunities to act on that trust to give financially to trust him with our tithes our offering we kind of hold back we gonna hold on I don't trust you that much but this woman she started boiling water she started preparing for the miracle she started acting on her trust it's time for some of you to start boiling the water you're asking God to show up on your behalf and God said I want you to put that trust in action I want you to get ready for your miracle I want you to make room for what I'm about to do in your business I want you to start trusting me with your tithe with your offering I want you start activating that trust by stepping out and helping other people in need by showing up and doing something for someone else put your trust your faith in action so I love what Josh said that as she prepared they showed up I believe as some of you start moving with your trust you're gonna see God move on your behalf give Josh a big hand one more time can I tell you the third thing though the third thing that I think holds people back from the abundant life that God has for them number one is unbelief number two is an unwillingness to trust and number three is unforgiveness unforgiveness Jesus said before you ask me to do something before you come to the altar and you ask me to do something if you have an offense in your heart towards a brother or sister deal with that offense one of the biggest hindrances that stops the water from flowing that clogs up the pipes is offense it's hurt its wounds and as long as you hold on to those wounds you're holding back God's blessings that he wants to move in and through your life you've got to forgive I'm not saying that what they did you is okay but you've got to forgive them forgiveness unclog the pipes it unlocks the water to flow into your life you know unforgiveness it causes your blood pressure to get worse unforgiveness bitterness it rots the bones it messes with your health it causes you to not be able to sleep sound at night you you're constantly thinking about that person who hurts you but once you forgive them once you let it go all the sudden you start getting healthier your blood starts flowing better you start sleeping better at night you're not offended you're not uptight they're not consuming they're not rinsing all the space in your brain property you've evicted them out of your you saying I'm not going to deal with that bitterness or offense any longer I was in a situation here recently where there was there was hurts that had built up over time and and as we were sitting in this room all of a sudden the hurts it just began to open up and it was so healthy because as the hurts were opened and exposed and we pulled it out from under the rug it was like the healing power of God begin to move in the room when there was an apology and there was forgiveness and reconciliation you could just feel the presence of God touching people's hearts why because forgiveness opens the door for healing to flow mental healing emotional healing physical healing I want to invite one last testimony up for you today and it's our friend gayleen gayleen will you come on up to the stage you've got to hear this testimony this is so powerful yeah give her a big hand as she comes up here we got you okay I'm a little nervous but I moved to Tulsa in 2009 and by the grace of God he planted me right next to Sharon I'm her neighbor yes pastor Sharon and the first day I moved in Billy Joe was the first person I met in the neighborhood this was in June of 2009 and I didn't know it at the time but he was really sick and he came over to my home he knocked on the door he welcomed us to the neighborhood he invited us to church and at the time I was a very traditional Christian as what I would say and I thanked him and I said oh we have a church thank you so much for inviting us that was in 2009 since then Sharon was very persistent in the kindest way of every Easter we would get an invitation Christmas program she just showed a lot of love to our family and was always inviting us to victory but again I was a Christian already and I was content where I was in 2017 in the fall 2017 my dot my youngest daughter who then was 15 said to me mom I I just feel like I need something more I need something more on out of my worship why don't we go to victory Sharon's been inviting us you know we haven't gone to any of the programs she's so sweet and we like their family let's try it and I was like okay you know I'm getting up there and I'm used to my ways but I love you and let's let's try this so the first Sunday we came here I was like whoa these people know something I don't and it was so different from what I was used to but God sparked something in my heart so we came again so mind you we had only been twice and while we were in you know in the service one of John's amazing mission trip videos played and my daughter looked at me and said let's go so we've only been here twice you know I just came from a church or we didn't even have instruments and I'm like alright let's do it so we go to Honduras last year and it was amazing you know I saw so many salvations it was just like something I had never experienced before and I started watching my traditional relationship with God grow into an intimate relationship with God and so after the Honduras trip we were hooked and so I heard a lot of stories after at the Honduras trip about healings and I saw a lot of the kids you know just the vigor in them and the excitement of the the of seeing these visual healings and I hadn't experienced that yet and to be fully honest I just wasn't there I believed these people and they were good people and they were honest people but I just didn't know for sure about the physical healing and and I wanted to believe it but I didn't so we went again on the mission trip to the Dominican Republic and I was blessed with five beautiful girls that I was kind of in charge of and that was my group and we had been going and it was a third day and they they keep us busy I mean we were going to schools we're going to parks we're dissing on stop get on the bus praise Jesus it was amazing well we had a 30 minute lag time and we had time to run into a hospital and I'd never been to into a hospital before and so I grabbed my group of five girls and we grabbed our interpreter and we go into this hospital and it's not a hospital like what you have ever experienced it's a hospital where you you might choose to just stay home instead of go to the hospital and so it's humbling even just walking into the hospital and it was I could tell that my five girls they were already a little emotional just being there and it was a pediatric hospital so we go into the the room and we see on one side of the room a little boy around three laying in a bed and he was uncomfortable you could tell and with his mother and then on the other side of the room was a baby lying in a bed with two ladies so first we go to the the little three-year-old and was told that he had some kind of parasite and so we all gather round and we're praying for him and you know he was a little afraid of us you know like what's going on he kind of scooch it back and so you know we get down and we're praying with him and and over his mother and when we were finished you know she thanked us and and he was you know real wide-eyed just kind of watching us but he still didn't have you know he just laid there he you could tell he was still not you know he was uncomfortable so we moved from him and we we went over and as I looked at the baby laying there and maybe 14 months he had a couple of towels just on him and I was like oh I've I've volunteered in a hospice homes and I've seen people die and I was I don't want these girls to have to see this but we we've got to go into this wholeheartedly you know he was unconscious he had that pattern of breathing if you've ever seen someone pass it was there and so I remembered the verse that you just said about praying and praying God's will and letting I let go of all the doubt I had with the healing and I let go and I'm like this is not about me God can do miracles you know through anybody and he can do a miracle through all of us that are here with this little baby so the girls are a little hesitant you know it was emotional and his the babies young mother was sitting right on the bed across she was so distraught she couldn't even sit next to her child she was maybe 18 just this head down just tears falling down from her face and so when I asked the interpreter what the baby's name was his name was max Amelia's and my son's name is max so I got down on my knees I had one hand on the baby and the mom and those beautiful girls has circled around and we began praying and I began praying out loud with interpreter and some of the girls were praying in the spirit and I can't even tell you what I said it was just God working through us and when I said Amen and I looked up two little brown eyes with long eyelashes opened right up [Applause] and at that moment but myself and the girls in the interpreter work over we were over went and and the durpa derailed glory adios and we were all like glory to God and and we looked at the mom and she still couldn't open her eyes and we said to her you can look he's awake and he was moving his head and we were like what is happening he had you know he had digested poison and they just they had no hope for him and and we just felt like at that time I just felt like God had prophesied to us and I just looked at her and I said you raised this boy to love his Savior he saved him and he will do great things for him and so all my doubt you know God didn't just heal Maximilian God healed me God healed the mom God healed the girls God healed the the grandmother God healed the interpreter and as we were leaving and walking out of the room that little three-year-old boy hopped right up out of that bed and started hugging us and so I'm here to testify that I was one of those you know I've only been going here for not even a full two years that sad and up you out in the audience and was like I want to believe this so bad but now I believe it God is real God is alive powerful why don't we stand up to our feet all over this place would you bow your heads and close your eyes [Music] I believe that he can heal I believe he wants to heal I believe that he could do miracles whatever seems impossible to you [Music] this is not how it ends God has a plan to turn it around [Music] God has a plan for your future he has a plan for your family he has a plan for the person you're called to marry one day for the singles in the room for those in the room that are believing to have children God has a plan for you God has a miracle for you for those in the room that are believing for favor with the court favor in the situation that seems like it's impossible it's out of your control God's not finished yet if there's breath in your lungs he's not finished with you yet he's not finished with that situation and I believe that today there's two groups of people that need to respond to this message one group is a group of people you say Paula I can relate to gayleen I I have doubt in my heart and I've carried some doubt in my heart because of past disappointments past situations that didn't work out but I want to believe I want to believe that God can and I want to believe that God will but just like the story in the Bible I need to pray that prayer Lord helped me with my unbelief Lord helped me to believe again help me to trust in you again all over this room with heads bowed and eyes closed if you're here right now and you need to get that faith back in your heart again I want you to raise your hand you're saying Lord helped me to believe Lord help me to have faith again help me to have hope again you need a resurrection of Hope a resurrection of faith today there's there something happen in the room God's turning your hope back on he's resuscitating your faith back again to believe for the supernatural there's a heartbeat still inside you God's in it's time to get your hope back it's time to get your faith back secondly there's a group of you in the room you're saying I need a miracle Paul I need a miracle financially I need a miracle in my fight I need a miracle in my health you need a miracle in your body maybe need a miracle in a relationship a miracle for your son a miracle for your husband for your father for your mother for your daughter a miracle and in your relationship with your spouse and your marriage if you're here today and you need a miracle in some area of your life I want you to just lift your hand up because today we are gonna contend and believe that God can do it that God will do it that things are turning around that even right now behind the scenes God is working on your behalf angels in Jesus name if you raised your hand for either of those or you just need to get down to this altar I want you to step out from your road take a step of faith come and meet me at this altar today in Jesus name he still heals he still does miracles he still moves mountains he still rolls away the stone he still heals the blind eyes he still raises the dead he still breathes life into hopeless situations in Jesus name he still provides on the nick of time he still shows up get the water boiling the food is coming the provision is coming the protection is coming the deliverance is coming the healing is coming let's just begin to worship in this place Sam will you lead us in that song [Music] and Jesus thing we thank you God for miracles today the altar is open the altar is open Healing is here breakthroughs here in Jesus [Music] [Music] this is not how it is this is [Music] nothing is too difficult nothing is too small nothing is too big God sees you he hears you he loves you he's for you he cares about you [Music] [Music] your face today for a beer release your hope today for a miracle [Music] there's a scripture in the Bible right after a lot of miracles where John the Baptist's he sends a word to Jesus and John had already baptized Jesus he had already seen Jesus you know anointed in ministry but John was in a different time in his life the Bible says he was in prison and his ministry had kind of stopped everyone was flocking to Jesus and John was in prison and he sends a message through through some people a note to pass on to Jesus and the notes that are you the Messiah or should I be waiting for someone else the John was asking this because I think he knew Jesus was the Messiah I think John was asking are you gonna show up for me are things gonna turn around for me and she's a simpler back to John the blind are seen the Deaf are here the dead are being raised to life and blessed are the people who are not offended because of me you see John had to change his perspective sometimes you get to see the miracle sometimes you get to be the miracle in certain situations where you look at it and you're disappointed or you're frustrated why hasn't God changed this it doesn't mean that he won't but right now the biggest thing you've got a guard is your heart from getting offended and bitter and you've got to choose in the middle of the place that you're in that doesn't make sense that you're gonna be a miracle to those around you you're gonna be a miracle of God's joy of God's peace what should have stolen your peace you're gonna have the peace that passes all understanding what should have stolen your joy you're gonna have joy that doesn't make sense you're gonna have the grace to make it through the situation you're in and you're gonna be a miracle to those that are around you but I firmly believe that there are many people here today that this week is gonna be a week of miracles in your life I firmly believe that I heard God say it this last week after all that happened in Dominican I said God I I was planning to preach a sermon from the Sermon on the Mount and I really felt this in my heart God said preach about miracles because I'm about to do some miracles in Tulsa Oklahoma stir up their faith leading up towards Easter we are going to hear testimonies of God's showing up on your behalf of God doing things that are miraculous beyond what you could do in your own strength and as you release your faith and as you activates your trust and as you get rid of any bitterness or offense as you begin to act on the faith words that you've heard I truly believe God is about to do the miraculous in your life today in Jesus name now I speak right now to anyone who's in the room that has deafness in their ears lord I thank you right now that
