Beloved, I pray that in all respects, you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. — 3 John 2-4
Miracles and healings are for today and for every Christian! Some think that operating in the miraculous is difficult, challenging, or reserved for a select elite group of Christians. That is not Biblical. Miracles and healings are the inheritance of every believer in Jesus—both to receive them and operate in them!
We are a supernatural people. Made in the image of God and called to follow a risen Lord through the world God made--we're anything but normal. Given all that, it should not be surprising to us when miraculous things happen in our midst. Still, many of us are intimidated at the thought of it, and we stop short of trying so we won't disappoint God with our lack of faith, or--if we're being honest--so we won't be disappointed when God fails to deliver.
The Holy Spirit has empowered every believer not only to proclaim but also to demonstrate the reality of the good news of the gospel by living a lifestyle of signs and wonders that puts Jesus on display. As we look for the Holy Spirit's activity happening around us, listen for His voice, and respond in obedience, we enable others to encounter the love and power of Jesus through us.
