YOU ARE WIRED FOR MIRACLES!
KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE NOT RECEIVING MIRACLES
Witness Kenpaul Obieke
"[23] And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
[24] And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
[25] And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan." Matthew 4:23-25.
In one of TL Osborn' crusades, a blind man came to the crusade ground and as everything was going on there, the blind man fell down and was lying lifeless. People thought he had died but after a while, the blind man got up and was crying. While he was lying down on the ground, a light brighter than the day showed with Jesus Christ appearing with it. Instantly, His blind eyes opened and he began to see clearly to the amazement of all.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrew 13:8. Whatever He did before He is doing today, that is the meaning also. No matter the report they gave you, the report of the Greatest Physician who heals the sick and even the dead, will swallow it. Whatever the matter is with you, never forget that Jesus being alive and your believing in Him will put a great testimony in your mouth. Just believe!

The Church is commissioned for miracles. Salvation, Holy Ghost baptism, rapture are all miraculous. You can never separate Christianity from the supernatural or the miraculous. If you try that, another religion or tradition of men is what you will have.
Some of us are sincerely wrong in the way they approach the issue of miracles. From creation, God wired man for the supernatural or the miraculous. This was why He created us in His image and likeness.
When you focus people on receiving miracles without Christ, you destroy them even eternally. When you present Christ without miracles you likewise destroy the people. The book of proverbs speaks of balancing which is extremely important. Christianity is a miraculous life from beginning to the end. This is why it is different.
When I remember the very first day which Christ appeared in my room in the 70s one on one with a specific message, I do not need anyone to tell me that we are not getting it all right in today's churches. That appearance was miraculous and beyond imagination. To be in the room and all of a sudden,the very Jesus Christ that people read about in the Bible,shows up alive without up front notification is beyond amazing. The day that Christ laid hands on me and said " go and bear witness" cannot be forgotten till He comes. The day He came to me to tell me that "no Church built will accommodate My congregation" leaves me with double messages in one. Christ has His congregation and some pastors and churches have theirs. On that day, when the goats and the sheep shall be separated by Him, may you be on the right side.
Paul said, " am I not an apostle, have I not seen our Lord Jesus Christ." Our bearing witness of Christ being alive is vital. Brother Paul encountered Jesus long after His ascension to Heaven. On that road to Damascus He met the one he was persecuting His Church in ignorance in an afternoon. A believer that truly believes that Christ is alive and the same today is on track.
The early Church was a miraculous church. Out of the hands and shadows of the Apostles, miracles that silenced oppositions came continually. There was no way Christianity would have been accepted at all by Jews those days if not for the move of God they saw. They believed so much in Moses that led them out of Egypt. Miracles, signs and wonders made even the Romans that would have never accepted Christianity to succumb and left their idol worshipping. They saw what was more powerful than their gods.
As the people saw every type of sickness and disease healed, the demon possessed delivered, mad people back to normal even the dead rise, they had no choice. We need the original Christianity as seen in the Acts of the Apostles.
We must be tired of religion and it's form of observations without Christ manifestations.
The multitude that followed Jesus were attracted because of the miracles He commanded. God has made us to understand in the book of Joel, how this endtime will be for special move of the miraculous. Jesus used the miracles to prove His authenticity apart from that it is a sign of His love also. You must expect and live in the consciousness of the miraculous. If we are not seeing miracles, we are not giving Jesus enough chance. He is the miracle worker not you.
The early Church knew that the risen Christ has not lost His power and was working with them as He promised. They saw Him confirming His Word with signs and wonders following in His glorious name. Mark 16:17-20. It is time to awaken ourselves in the faith of the living Jesus who is still doing what He did in the Bible because He remains the same or unchanging.
Finally brethren, remember Jesus will always honor His Word with miracle when His Word is rightly honored. Hunger for the miraculous is part of every human being. People want to experience God in His move or action. A wise man said that one mighty miracle in the name of Jesus is worth more than a lifetime of theological theory. He said that even an atheistic professor that denies God's existence will run humbly in the crowd to watch a miracle. Miracles that are genuine can help to harvest more souls when they lead people to Christ like Peter and the rest who abandoned their miracle of fishes to run after Christ. The miracles that people run after and abandon Christ at the end are not it at all. Jesus is alive and has living proof miracles for you and through you now.
