The Bible is filled with extraordinary accounts of miracles performed by God and His faithful servants. These stories inspire awe, but they are more than history—they are a blueprint for what is possible for every believer. Jesus Himself declared, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these” (John 14:12).
Miracles are not reserved for a select few; they are part of the believer's inheritance in Christ. If you have the Holy Spirit dwelling within you, you carry the same power that parted the Red Sea, healed the sick, and raised the dead. But to walk in this power, believers must first believe it is possible and then step boldly into it.
A Call to Action: Practice Your Gift
Every believer has been uniquely gifted by God, whether it’s healing, prophecy, discernment, or faith. These gifts are not given to be hidden or ignored; they are meant to be exercised and shared for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom. Paul reminds us:
“Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good” (1 Corinthians 12:7).
Just as an athlete practices to strengthen their skills, believers must practice their spiritual gifts. Start by creating intentional time to pray, discern, and act upon the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Begin small—pray for healing, ask for discernment, or speak an encouraging word to someone. With each step of obedience, your faith will grow, and you will see God’s miraculous power at work.
Celebrate Every Victory
Every act of faith, no matter how small, is a victory. When you step out in faith and see God move—even in the simplest of ways—thank Him. Gratitude not only honors God but also builds your confidence and sensitivity to the Spirit’s leading.
For example:
- If you pray for someone and they feel peace, thank God for His presence.
- If you discern a situation accurately, give God glory for His wisdom.
- If you pray for healing and even partial improvement occurs, celebrate it as a testimony of God’s faithfulness.
By cultivating a heart of gratitude, you open yourself to receive even more of God’s miraculous power.
Opening Your Mind to the Possibilities
The miraculous works recorded in the Bible are not just ancient tales—they are an invitation for you to live a life of supernatural power. Here are some biblical examples to inspire you:
Old Testament Miracles
- Parting the Red Sea – Moses (Exodus 14)
- Fire from Heaven – Elijah (1 Kings 18)
- Raising the Widow’s Son – Elijah (1 Kings 17)
- The Sun Standing Still – Joshua (Joshua 10)
- Multiplication of Oil – Elisha (2 Kings 4)
New Testament Miracles
- Turning Water into Wine – Jesus (John 2)
- Walking on Water – Jesus (Matthew 14)
- Teleportation – Philip (Acts 8)
- Healing Through Shadows – Peter (Acts 5)
- Out-of-Body Vision – John (Revelation 4)
Each of these miracles demonstrates God’s ability to work in ways that defy human understanding. These are not unattainable feats—they are the inheritance of every believer who walks in faith and obedience.
Step into Your Inheritance
Believers, this is your inheritance: to walk in the power of God, to demonstrate His glory, and to bring His kingdom to earth. Do not shy away from the miraculous. Instead, embrace it as part of your identity in Christ. Remember the words of Jesus:
“Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8).
The world is waiting to see the power of God revealed through His people. You carry the light of His kingdom within you. It’s time to let it shine. Practice your gift. Celebrate every step. And never stop thanking God for the privilege of walking in His miraculous power.
Your inheritance is waiting. Step into it boldly. Amen!
