Miracles are commonplace with God and impossible with us. Whenever God speaks miracles take place; when he moves the impossible occurs. Bound by the flesh, we know our limitations, and by logic know the things that are not possible. However, when God is working with us we are no longer bound by the limitations of reason. Unexplainable things occur and God receives the glory.
If it were possible for us to initiate the impossible and activate the miraculous then we could also claim some of the credit. Since we are totally incapable of performing miracles or instigating the supernatural, when it does occur we must acknowledge divine intervention.
Throughout the ministry of Jesus the miraculous signs helped the people to see the source of the supernatural. When the impossible happens, Jesus is glorified. The skilled surgeon is caused to acknowledge a higher power. The one who is delivered must confess it was nothing of his own doing. An authentic miracle magnifies the majesty of God and humbles the recipient.
We desire to see the miraculous demonstration of the awesome power of God in our ministry, our lives, and in our churches. This will not happen if the purpose of the demonstration is to bring us to prominence and acclaim among our peers. The less we see of ourselves, the more we will see of God. As our motivation for self-exaltation is diminished, our passion to see the glory of God will be illustrated.
The world is desperate for a demonstration of the power of God. Jesus is the answer for the hopeless condition of our world. We can expect miracles to happen as we hide behind Christ and put him first in all we do!
