DECEMBER 4, 2022
During this Christmas season, it is easy to allow hustle and bustle of this time of year to cause us to forget what it is all about. This is the time of year we take to celebrate the birth of our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ. Lest we forget, his birth was a miracle, and He was the bringer of miracles.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you have a miracle living on the inside of you in the form of the Holy Spirit. Keep in mind that in the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit had been promised, but had not yet been given. The prophets of old spoke about the Holy Spirit and how he would come and dwell in His people. They looked forward to this time, but never saw it come to pass.
Now, because the Holy Spirit now lives in us, we have a miracle on the inside of us. A miracle that produces miracles, just like an apple seed does not merely produce an apple, but multitudes of apples.
How does this miracle of the Holy Spirit dwelling within you produce miracles in you? Let me give you three to begin with.
1. There is a miracle in your mouth.
Did you realize you have God’s creative ability in your mouth? Let look at the importance of the words we speak. Romans 10:8 says, “But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
It also says in Proverbs 18:21, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”
Did you know our earth, the sun and stars, the entire universe was created by God’s words.
Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Jesus said in Mark 11:22,23 “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
Jesus explained this principle on multiple occasions. There is a miracle in your mouth, if you will learn to use it properly. Our tongues are one of the most powerful members of our entire bodies. Take the time and read James, chapter 3 and you will see what I mean. You never know how the words you speak to someone else can be just the miracle that person needs at that time and place. Stop cursing yourself by the words you speak out of you mouth. Get in agreement with God’s Word and speak miracle working words.
2. There is a miracle in your heart.
God lives in you! Take a look at the following passages.
Colossians 1:27 “ To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:”
John 14:23 “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”
Galations 2:20 “ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.”
The miracle of God living in us is the Hope of Glory, Recognized It, Love It and Live It!
3. There is a miracle in what you do.
John 14:12 says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”
The salvation we receive once we accept Christs is not to merely save us from a literal and burning hell, but for us to do good works and make disciples. (Matt. 28:18-22, Eph. 2:10) We are to be a miracle for others.
Take this holiday season receive the miracle that is in you and be the miracle that someone needs!
