to encourage you always to get my outline which is you could download from online if you are watching and viewing online it's so I'm very excited about this new series on miracles and parables have you enjoyed it so far yes I get to teach on miracles I'm so excited and we're gonna read a scripture in just a moment but you know you recently for those of you who have been here at Lakewood you know I've been teaching on Wednesday nights on unusual miracles because I just felt like God is stirring us up to believe him for the miraculous to expect him to do miracles in our lives and and and and for him to do unusual things notable miracles in our lives and so what we're going to talk about some miracles tonight I do want to mention just some statistics the Bible records that there are over 90 miracles in the Old Testament alone and then there are over 55 miracles in the New Testament and of course we know that that's not all the miracles that were done according to John who said Jesus did so many more miracles and so many more healed many more people so much that you know the books of the world could not contain them so we know that these are only recorded miracles and so Jesus must have done many many more miracles that we don't know about but we sure have a good snapshot of what he did through the Gospels don't we and a miracle is a special act of Almighty God and they miracles can reveal something about God and about his character about his power even about his plans and purposes for our lives miracles are one of the many proofs that God exists I mean we can just look and the Bible tells us in Hebrews we can just look around at the worlds at the nature itself and see there's got to be a God there's got to be a god there's got to be a creator of these worlds and then there are other proofs that we we know God exists and that is he can come into your life you can accept Jesus and you can be instantly changed and and that is what the the greatest miracle that we will ever experience and then of course we see him God do miracles and heal people and and so it shows us that there is a God amen miracles in the Old Testament are considered to show that God is the only true God miracles in the New Testament are to show that Jesus is the true Messiah and so I loved that when I read that so let's look at Psalm 77 this is one of my favorite scriptures recently Psalm 77 13 and 14 and it says this your ways o God are holy what God is as great as our God there is no other God like our God you are the God who performs miracles what does he do yes he performs miracles you display your power among the peoples you see God desires to do miracles for us he desires to display his power and our life and so we are never ever without hope when we know Jesus because Jesus can do what we cannot do amen and so I believe as I said before that God is going to do some unprecedented notable miracles and miracles in our lives because we are beginning to expect him to do more and we're praying about those things that so I want to encourage you if you're going through a hard situation right now don't give up hope don't think that you are without hope look to Jesus because he is your miracle worker and he can do what you cannot do I was just thinking about many of the miracles that my family has seen over the years and then we have seen in Lakewood Church and of course I tell this often because I'm so grateful but you know I was healed of as a baby of a crippling disease similar to cerebral palsy and the doctors told my parents that I would never walk or talk I'd probably be in a wheelchair and my parents prayed for me and of course you know God completely healed me before I was 1 year old and that was the very first miracle that my parents ever saw that was the very first miracle that the firt the original 90 members of Lakewood Church ever saw in that amazing and so then after I got healed many people got healed in the the church when it was young but there was a young girl named Mary I think she was 12 years old and she had a clubfoot and my dad prayed for her and when he did that foot just popped and got right into perfect place and completely healed her and she walked normal all the days of her life and and we know her and we still see her today that was just a notable miracle of course my mother was healed of terminal cancer in 1981 we know that she sitting here 85 years old and she is praying for the sick all the time I remember years ago this is probably either in the late 70s or early 80s that a man came stumbling down to the altar in one of our service services and he was just drunk as a skunk you know he was he was he would barely stand up and I just thought does he even know what he's doing but he came to the and so my dad let everybody to the Lord that day but he saw that man how he stumbled in and he went over to him and he rebuked the devil and he prayed for him and that man just dropped to the floor and I didn't know what was happening but do you know after my dad prayed for him he got up he was completely sober and he got saved that day and it wasn't it was a miracle something that you know as a teenager it really made an impression on me because I saw how drunk he was and then I saw that he was in his right mind and whatever it was the alcohol a drug all that just left his body and he got completely saved we've seen financial miracles we've seen miracles a provision all these years we've seen God heal people deliver people from drugs just so many miracles were celebrating 60 years this year and I really wish we would have recorded many of the miracles so many of the miracles that we've seen this was an amazing one a couple of years ago a lady came for prayer and she did she actually came to me for prayer but she actually wanted to get a message to my mother and she said to me she said I just want you to tell your mother something for me she said I had breast cancer and she's asked your mother to pray for her pray for me before I had surgery and my mother just prayed for and sort of spoke a word over that she wouldn't gonna have to have that surgery and she said she went back prepped for surgery they took more x-rays got her off the bed and said the cancer is gone completely gone so you know miracles are real because we serve a real God and He desires to display his people among his power among the people if you need a miracle right now I want you to raise your hand father we just we have faith to believe that what we cannot do you can do and father you know the miracles that are needed in this in this room and those watching father I thank you that you will move in there Mitch you will heal their bodies father you will strengthen them you will hear the heal their minds father you will you will rearrange their circumstances you will direct their steps and father you would give them great favor father we but great miracles in your presence father and Jesus name and everybody said amen and amen God is so good and of course the Bible is full of miracles and we see all kind of miracles healing miracles financial miracles miracles of protection you know you cannot forget that like Daniel and the Lions Den the three Hebrew children I think about myself how you know I opened that mail bomb in 1990 and how god I should have been dead but God spared my life that's a notable miracle a protection that God did for me and so we see those kind of miracles in the Bible we see miracles that defy the laws of nature like how God parted the Red Sea I love this one how how God made the Sun still stand still for Joshua think about that what a miracle and so anyway the Bible's full of miracles and I think this is something interesting to take note of and that the Bible shows us that jesus healed people in many different ways so healing is a miracle and so sometimes Jesus touched the person and prayed for healing sometimes he commended the sickness to leave people one time he put a mud on a blind man's eyes you remember that so I say that to tell you that you really can't put God in a box when it comes to healing and miracles God does things different ways and he he doesn't always do things the same way another thing I see about miracles in the Bible is that they're not always immediate or instantaneously although some are like the crippled man that stood up and watched right then we've seen those instantaneous miracles I had a great miracle but it took a few months my mother had a great healing miracle but it took time and so don't get discouraged if you don't see it immediately because in the Bible we see that it happened this way many times also another thing we see in the Bible is that there are many similar traits of miracles in the Bible and I just want to mention some of those to you right now number number one is this a miracle always involves an impossibility when it comes to man it just does it's something we seem hopeless we look at the situation let's help us we can't do any more about it so as I said before if you're in a hard place don't give up because you know God can make a way where there is no way with God all things are possible amen another similar trait is that a miracle always involves seeking Jesus because Jesus is the miracle worker if you need a miracle I don't look any longer go to Jesus ask Jesus you know a people and the Bible sought Jesus out they pursued him remember the woman with the issue of blood she said if I can just touch His garment I will be made whole they knew that healing was in Jesus they knew that the power of God was in Jesus and so you have to seek out Jesus you have to ask God for the miracle a third similar trait is this a miracle always involves faith on a person's part you know the Bible says without faith it is impossible to please God and so it could be a mother like the one in the Bible who ran to the Prophet because her son had died she had faith that he was going to be okay in fact the Prophet said what's wrong and she said it is well but she had faith that God was going to heal her son and he did or it could be the faith of somebody like those four friends that made a hole in the ceiling remember and they lowered their friend down into the presence of Jesus see those four men had faith for their friends or it could be the person that needs the miracle but see your faith pulls on God your faith pulls on Jesus when people touch Jesus he said who touched me and so you you have to realize that you have to have faith you can say well you know if a God wants to give me a miracle he can or well if he doesn't want to I I don't have anything to do with it no your faith has to do with the miracle your trust and God has to do with the miracle number four is that a miracle always involves a grateful attitude or it should always involve a grateful attitude see we should always be thankful for the miracles that we receive and Jesus taught us that when He healed the ten lepers do you remember that and only one where were the other nine he said only one came back to thank him and when he looked at that man he said where are the other nine Jesus was clearly disappointed Jesus was clearly thinking you know why they're not grateful but this man is grateful and he looked at that man and he commended him and he said rise and go because your faith has made you whole Jesus it's something special in that man that he didn't do in the nine others but you see Jesus expects us to be grateful for what he's done in our lives I know it bless you another common trait is that a miracle always brings glory to God and not yourself so don't try to take the attention away from God don't think it's all you because it's not you have to always give glory to God for what he's done in your life and that really brings us to the sixth common trait and that is a miracle should always be shared with other people it's not for you to hold on and be selfish with we are called to tell others what Jesus has done for us and so don't keep it to yourself God will take your tragedy and turn it into triumph and he will use it to encourage and help other people when you tell Jesus when you tell people about what Jesus has done for you whether it's salvation or anything you God will use that in your life to bring other people to Jesus and to encourage other people W have an open door with them you know maybe you don't lead them to the Lord but you know one waters you know the Bible says once those one waters one reaps and so God will use your story to be a blessing to other people so as we share these you know talking about some of these miracles you'll see and as you read the Bible you'll see some of these common traits so tonight and the next time I speak in two weeks we're going to study four different miracles and they're all from Mark 4 and 5 March chapters 4 and 5 if you want to turn to mark 4 right now we're read four different miracles that they involve a storm deliverance resurrection and a healing and we could say that these miracles will just give us a snapshot of a day in the life of Jesus because he performed them right one after the other he performed you know listen miracles was not the exception for Jesus Jesus performed miracles everywhere he went acts 10:38 says God anointed Jesus of Nazareth who went with the Holy Spirit and power and he went around doing good and healing Jesus went around doing good and healing all were who were under the oppression of the devil because God was with him so that's what Jesus did he went around doing good and healing and delivering people and the Bible teaches us that Jesus is called Immanuel does anybody know what that means God with us Emmanuel means God with us and so when Jesus came to this earth he showed us what God is really like and so we see Jesus being good to people healing people delivering people and he shows us through his life and ministry that God is a good God that God loves all people because wherever he went he did good he lifted people he forgave people He healed people he freed them from shame he freed them from their past he freed them from demonic spirits and he performed miracles that's the heart of God amen Emmanuel God with us see some so many people had the wrong idea about God because you've been taught wrong and that's why you have to learn sometimes to you know take off your traditional glasses and read the Bible about inspiration of the Holy Spirit and see who God really is and see what the Bible really says some of the things you learn they really aren't in the Bible and you have to realize that some of you have been taught that you know God is a mean God and he's just waiting you know to get you to catch you doing something wrong but that's not the God we serve amen that doesn't even line with the Word of God and so you have to realize that God is a good God and he did miracles all the time and I think you know as in the day of Jesus we should understand that miracles don't have to be the exception they can be something that we always expect and that God wants to do in our lives we can experience the miracle-working power of God amen so let's look at mark for the first miracle we're gonna look at is Jesus calming the raging storm and I'm gonna read from verse 31 from the NIV that day when evening came Jesus said to his disciples let us go over to the other side and leaving the crowd behind they took him along just as he was in the boat and there were also other boats with him a furious squall came up and the waves broke over the boat said that it was nearly swamped and Jesus was in the stern sleeping on a cushion and the disciples woke him up and said to him teacher don't you care if we drowned and he got up he rebuked the wind and he said to the waves I want to really really impress that upon you he rebuked the wind and he spoke to the waves and he said this quiet be still and then the wind died down and it was completely calm say completely calm and he said to his disciples why are you so afraid do you still have no faith and they were terrified and they asked each other who is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him that's our God right there so let's talk about this miracle first of all I had to admit I had to look at what a squall is and I don't vote a lot and so a squall is a rapid increase in the wind it can come on real quick and it can progress and it can take up from it can last one thirty to sixty minutes so it's a it's a long long gust of wind and water and waves and so this ureas squall was a serious condition for the disciples they were in this hard situation and the water was already filling the boat and so we see the seriousness of it so with that in mind let me give you some thoughts from this miracle story which I believe that we can learn and the first one is this and the storms of life we can always rest and trust Jesus I think that we can see that in that storm that it's it's interesting that Jesus was asleep during the storm and especially with the winds and the waves rocking the boat and spiritually speaking I feel like this is just my personal belief that that this miracle shows us that we don't have to be afraid during the storms of life because Jesus is in our boat so to speak you see like the disciples many times we do panic I've been guilty of panicking the disciples panicked they were very fearful and they went and they woke up Jesus and he stood up and he rebuked the wind and he spoke to the ways he rebuked the wind and he spoke to the ways he spoke to the storms and light Jesus you have to learn to speak to your storms and you had to learn to resist the enemy in the name of Jesus and you have to learn to speak the Word of God over your life and your circumstances because what you say in the storm makes all the difference in the world and you do have authority in the name of Jesus see when you need a miracle watch your words make sure you're resisting the real enemy make sure you're speaking life into your situation you know sometimes the storm is in us and we have to speak to ourselves calm down Lisa calm down peace be still everything's gonna be okay because Jesus is in the boat with me say Jesus is in my boat he's in your boat amen you remember when Jesus said in John 14 12 he said whoever believes in Me will do the works that I have been doing and they will do even greater work than these because I go to the Father I'm talking about the authority that you have also like Jesus what does that mean because I'm going to the Father you're gonna do this because I go to the Father what that means is that when Jesus ascended back into heaven he sent us the Holy Spirit he said I know I need to go away because when I go out I'm gonna send the Holy Spirit and he will be in you all and so Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to live in us to help us to be our guide and he gives us the power of God in our lives and so we have the same power the Holy Spirit that Jesus had and whoever believes in Jesus will do these greater works you say I don't believe that then you're not gonna do them you have to believe in Jesus you have to believe that the same power that was in Jesus is in you and you have to be willing to step out and speak to your storm and resist the enemy and command things to calm down amen you have that same power that no dad that doesn't mean that you go around commending everything to obey you you know okay no like Jesus you follow the Holy Spirit amen the second thing we can learn from this storm and this miracle is that you can experience peace in the midst of the storm as soon as Jesus spoke to the storm the wind died down and it was completely calm and I love what one version said there was a great calm and Jesus wants to give you a great calm even when the storm is all around you hey the storm may be around you but it doesn't have to be inside you Jesus can give you his peace that passes all understanding jesus said I came to give you my peace of peace I leave with you and so in the midst of the storm you can just stop and say Jesus I'm taking hold of your peace I'm not gonna be caught up in the world when a panic and fear and worry I'm just gonna rest in you and I'm gonna walk in that peace that passes all understanding number three we learned that Jesus is always in the storm with us he's in the boat as I said after Jesus performed this great miracle he rebuked the disciples and he said why are you so afraid and you still have no faith you see they had seen Jesus do miracle after miracle and yet they were in his presence and they were still afraid you see they forgot who was in the boat with them they forgot that they had the miracle worker on their boat and in the storms of life we've got to remember that Jesus is always with us he's in the valley he's on the mountaintop he's in the storm he's out of the storm he's walking beside us at all times and just because you don't see him doesn't mean he's not with you we have to believe that by faith Jesus is saying don't be afraid have faith in me I'm right here with you in the boat I can calm the stormy sea you can calm the stormy sea so don't be afraid hey you know I want a backtrack a little because remember when the disciples woke Jesus up they said don't you even care that we're about to drown when I read that I thought one of the first temptations is those in the storms of life is to think that God doesn't care to think that he let you down that he forgot about you why did he let this happen because you don't see him working that he is not working but again we cannot forget that he's always with us though I walk through the valley of the shadow death I will fear no evil for you are with me I love that scripture Psalm 121 that says he was watching over your life and so you know this this is a part of the test of your faith and the test of your patience and you have to just rest in the fact that God has you in the palm of his hand and that he is taking care of you and that he is concerned about every intricate detail of your life amen so that's that's one miracle what a great miracle and it and the Bible says they made it to the other side of the lake and this is where our next miracle picks up and I'm not going to read it to you for a sake of time but it's in mark 5 beginning at verse 1 it's a a bit long so for sake of time I'm gonna just tell you about it I believe that this this is the man who is demon-possessed Jesus delivers the demon-possessed man now I believe this miracle shows us that God has great compassion and mercy on those who are trapped in sin and who are bound by Satan and who are hurting in our lives really shows the compassion and mercy of God and the Bible says that when Jesus arrived to the other side of the lake that immediately a demon-possessed man ran to meet him I just think about that that scene running to meet Jesus and this man the Bible says lived among the tombs and no one could control him and because he was under the power of so many evil spirits and the tombs I believe symbolized the death and then the damnation that he bore himself that he felt death and damnation and that he was cut off from all people and that people looked down upon him and and he was ostracized from his community the Bible goes a father to say that he was naked which is a symbol which symbolizes shame the shame that he bore the the shame of the entire community being embarrassed of him humiliated of humiliated because of him the Bible says that people tried to chain him hand and foot but you know what he do he would just break those chains and then it goes on to say that he even cut himself he was so tormented in his mind he cut himself we see that today people cutting themselves because they think that they hurt so much they want to relieve some pain and some time in the instant and that one instant when they cut themselves they feel a little release but that is not the answer it may be a tiny little temporary release but Jesus said your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit he doesn't want you to destroy it he wants to make you new inside he wants to heal that deep hurt amen so many demons had taken control of this man but yet not one of those demons kept him from getting to Jesus think about that do you think he's too far gone no not one demon kept him from getting to Jesus I believe inside of this man was faith to believe that if anybody could help me it'll be Jesus my only hope is Jesus and so he saw he heard about Jesus and he saw Jesus coming getting off that boat and he ran to him and the Bible says that the man fell on his knees at the feet of Jesus as if to worship Him and Jesus began to command the devil's the evil spirits to come out of him and those demons begin to talk because let me tell you something demons are real you you wonder why we see so much evil in this world it's because of demon powers that have gotten ahold of people or who are talking to people and convincing them to commit suicide or or to murder someone and they've allowed the enemy to come into their life and and so this man was full of demons like that and and so jesus said they begin to talk to Jesus and Jesus said what is your name and they answered my name is legion for we are many and this litter this man was literally controlled controlled by these demon powers and so Jesus began to command the evil spirits to leave this man and he allowed them we won't get deep into this but he'll he allowed them to go into a herd of pigs 2,000 picks the demons begged to go into those pigs and he allowed them to go into those pigs they didn't want to leave that territory well I'm just thinking that you know demons have certain territories that they operate in and so I believe Jesus did this for a reason this is just Lisa's commentary yeah I believe he did that to allow us to see the purpose and intent of Satan in our lives because as soon as those evil spirits went into pigs they ran off the cliff and every one of our fell and drowned into the water and that is Satan's MO in your life to still kill and destroy you and and and it's a picture of what Satan wants to do to you and so you can't always you can't believe the lies of the enemy he makes things look really good if you serve me if you do this you know I'm gonna give you this and that just what he said to Jesus but let me tell you something he is a liar and the father of all lies you can never trust Satan he is the arch enemy of the body of Christ and of Jesus Christ but let me tell you something there's not one evil thing in your life that can keep you from coming to Jesus if you will just humble yourself before him just like this man did and say Jesus help me I can't get free but I know you can get me free amen if you will ask Jesus to change you he will have mercy upon you verse fifteen let's read this together when they came to Jesus they saw the man who had been possessed by the Legion of demons sitting there dressed and in his what right mind and they were afraid they were afraid of course they were afraid they'd lost their pigs too you know I'm sure that was a lot of their income right there but this man was no longer tormented but in his right mind let me tell you something you may not be demon-possessed but you could be tormented in your mind you could be having suicidal thoughts and I just want you to know that God can calm your torment in mind and he can deliver you from addictions he can deliver you from hurts he can deliver you from trying to cut and and hurt your body Jesus can heal you everywhere it hurts and all it takes for you to say Jesus I need you Jesus I need you to help change me maybe you've been trying to change get off drugs maybe some maybe you're addicted to pornography or immorality and you just can't see your way out all you have to do is say Jesus I need you Jesus help me Jesus deliver me and I'm telling you God will change you in an instant amen amen I believe that Jesus had to cross the lake that night for that one person if he did it for anybody he did it for that man he could hear the cries of his heart to be free and you have to know that Jesus will go to great lengths to set you free he will cross the lake he will cross this world he will go across the world for you just because he loves you with an everlasting life and he can help you and he sees the potential in you see everybody looked at that demon-possessed man and thought you know he's ashamed to our society there's something wrong with him probably they thought he was cursed but you see Jesus looked at that man and he said that's my creation I created him Satanists tried to destroy him but I can set him free and I see the potential in him see Jesus sees the potential in you and I love this because as Jesus was getting back into the boat to go to the other side of the lake the man begged Jesus he said let me go with you Jesus please let me go with you but jesus said this to this man in verse 19 if you want to read along with me Mark 5:19 no I want you to go home to your family can you imagine that scene having that man back at home completely free he said I want you to go back to your family I want you to tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy upon you you see the miracle is not just for you it's for others we talked about that that free man began to tell that tell the Decapolis did you notice that where the cab was in there all that means is the surrounding 10 cities he began to tell his story about what Jesus did for him and all the ten surrounding cities that was his missionary journey and the Bible says that the people were amazed and astonished at what Jesus had done for him the demon-possessed man went from a madman to a missionary think about that and that's what God does for us he takes that the ordinary struggling person and he turns you into someone who does extraordinary things for the kingdom of God God is so good your life will never be wasted anything you go through you think I could never tell what God is where I've been listening anything you go through it will never be wasted because God will use you to help set the captives free that's the way he works amen so those are some great miracles aren't they well I got done a little bit early but that's okay because we have time to pray I just feel like we need to pray anyway first of all I want to pray for those of you who have loved ones away from God you and if that's you you can stand up here if you are watching online and you are concerned about someone who is away from God and maybe there and deep into trouble they could be in a gang they could be on drugs alcohol I don't know what it is but do you know what that God loves your loved one and because you are praying for that person they are going to come back to God they're going to accept Jesus because your prayers are pushing back the darkness for them what if they didn't have anybody praying for them and so your prayers are pushing back the darkness and they are making a path for your loved one to get to Jesus and so let's pray for them put up a hand for their father and Jesus name I think that you are surrounding every loved one with protection right now in Jesus name father I think you that you are sending laborers into their pathway father that you will cause people who know you Jesus to love on them to speak to them to encourage them to preach the Word of God to them father I pray that if any of these loved ones are lost and their parents do not know where they are right now that you would cause them to get in contact with their family members right now in the name of Jesus and father for those that are have gone away like the prodigal son I just pray that Lord Jesus they will wake up and they'll say that I'm gonna get out of this Pigpen I'm gonna go back to the Word of God I'm gonna go back to church I'm gonna go back to my home and I'm gonna start serving God and doing his will in the name of Jesus father we bind the powers of darkness over their lives and we pray that you would remove the scales that have caused them to be deceived in Jesus name and we pray that you would open their eyes to the truth father that even night tonight you will deal with them as they're at home you will deal with them as they're in their bed father and they will have a desire for the things of God in Jesus name Amen and amen amen thank you they're gonna come in they're gonna come in one other thing yeah mama you just my mother's gonna pray father you can do anything but fail so Jesus all these if you want to send back up again it's good all these that have loved ones that are away from God and the ones that have written us and asked us Father would you please ask put in their hearts to come back by Easter Jesus that's a few days away father but we believe that you can do anything but fail your children and father that would make everybody so happy if their children or relatives would come back by Easter so we're just asking you to do it we don't think it's too hard for you at all give them a dream or something tonight let them know that people are waiting for them and that Jesus you have missed them you've missed them because they're gone so I pray that they will come back in Jesus name they'll just either show up like the prodigal son or they'll give a phone call or something but they'll come back by Easter by next Sunday father we ask it and we thank you for your that you're doing it we just believe you'll do it thank you Father thank you that you've done it in Jesus name we expect to hear or see them by next Easter amen amen you babies seated expect good news amen expect miracles now one other thing I want to pray for and I don't know if this applies to anybody here but many people are watching online and you may need to get free from some things maybe you have an addiction to drugs alcohol pornography you could mention so many things tobacco that you want to get free of maybe you're just in sin maybe you have anger and rage in you hey maybe you feel like you have an evil spirit in you maybe you feel like you maybe you're tormented with suicidal thoughts and and and maybe you have shame I'm just throwing out some things because I want you to know that
