7 Keys To Constant MiraclesSample
Key 4: Keep Your Faith Powered Up
To see constant miracles in your life, you have to keep your faith powered up. Today, we'll talk about how you can take your faith to the next level.
During His ministry here on earth, Jesus said the same phrase to various people:
"According to your faith be it unto you."
He said these words, or slight variations thereof, to many people who sought miracles from Him. But you know what? They weren't all believing Him for the same thing. Some believed Him for huge miracles; others for smaller miracles. Nevertheless, He met each person at the point of their need—and at the point of their faith.
For example, when the centurion said:
"Jesus, you don't even have to come all the way to my house. Just speak the word right now from miles away and my servant will be healed" ...
... Then Jesus said, "According to your faith be it unto you." And the centurion's servant was healed the very same instant, even though Jesus never physically saw the servant nor laid hands on him! Why? Because the centurion got exactly that for which he believed Jesus—even though he made a pretty radical and bold request!
However, when other people told Jesus that their loved one would be healed IF Jesus laid hands on them, Jesus agreed with that method too. Jesus' response to that type of request could basically be captioned like this:
"Okay, your level of faith requires Me to lay hands on your loved one. That's no problem; I'll meet you at the point of your faith."
And then He would go and lay hands on the person and heal them. Jesus could have healed any sick person from miles away like He healed the centurion's servant—but He didn't. He did what each requestor asked; He met them at the point of their faith.
What does this principle mean for us today as we ask the Lord for miracles?
Simply this:
Jesus will meet you at the point of your faith. His Word to you and to me, just like His Word to the centurion two thousand years ago, is this:
"According to your faith be it unto you."
So if you want to see constant miracles from God, you need to have constant faith. If you want to see Him do great and mighty things on your behalf, you have to have faith for that.
How do you power up your faith so that you can believe God for great and mighty things?
The Bible tells us that "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). This means, in the original Greek language, that faith and hearing come from listening to God's "Rhema"—His on-time, right-now Word of God that the Holy Spirit illuminates in your heart.
So:
- When you read the Bible and a verse or phrase seems to jump off the page at you ...
- When you're listening to a sermon, and something the preacher says leaps into your heart,—your spirit bearing witness with the Holy Spirit that the message is for you ...
- When you read an encouraging word on your favorite Bible study website, and you begin weeping because God's Spirit ministers that word directly into your heart ...
... These are all "Rhema," on-time words from the Lord—and hearing these words is how you power up your FAITH.
In order to build your faith, simply listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying right now through His Word as He quickens it in your heart and ministers it to you.
If you believe God's promises and meet His conditions, God will work constant miracles for you.
However, we have to keep in mind that constant faith is one of His conditions. We can't go down into doubt, unbelief, and self-pity. As James 1:6-8 says:
"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let, not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."
If you doubt God, you won't receive anything from Him.
Therefore, keep your eyes on Jesus today! Don't look at the people, the pundits, the pandemic, the politicians, or the possibilities. Look to Christ and Him only. Keep your eyes on JESUS, the Author and Finisher of your faith—and make the CHOICE to believe Him, no matter what.
Do you need to get your faith right with God?
If so, stop for a moment right now and pray! Confess any doubt and unbelief to Him, and remind Him—and yourself—of His great and precious promises. This is a key to your miracle lifestyle, so do this now and often—and keep your faith powered up like it is supposed to be!
