WAITING ON A MIRACLE

How many of you

Need a miracle in your life

God knows

I do

A miracle

In your health

Waiting on God

Waiting on a miracle

A miracle

In your marriage

Or in your family

Waiting on God

Waiting on a miracle

A miracle in your finances

I sure could use one of those

I think we all could

Do you know what a miracle is

A miracle is an extraordinary event

Done through the POWER OF GOD

I have ALREADY had a miracle

In my life---OK maybe a few

I’ll bet

If you think about it

Really think about it

I’ll bet

You have had some too

NOT only do you and I

Need a miracle

Our country

Needs a miracle

Our world

Needs a miracle

Waiting on God

Waiting on a miracle

Waiting on

THE EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF GOD

I got some news for you

God is quite capable and willing

All it takes is some FAITH

And some BELIEF

And us turning back to God

God made the world

In seven days

I call that a miracle

God created Adam and Eve

Out of nothing---us too

LIFE itself is a miracle

God told Noah to build a boat

He did---and God SAVED them

I call that a miracle

God gave Abraham and Sarah a child

At a very old age

I call that a miracle

God parted the Red Sea

For Moses and his people

Still another miracle

David slayed Goliath

With a sling shot

Even one more miracle

The key element

In ALL of these miracles

Is that first there was faith

Faith is needed---belief is needed

For God to use his power

To make the unseen---seen

Fast forward to the New Testament

And we find Jesus

Performing MIRACLE AFTER MIRACLE

Healing after healing

A royal official came to Jesus and said,

“Sir, come down before my son dies”                                           John 4:49  

Jesus replied,

“You may go---your son will live”                                                 John 4:50

When the man returned home

He found his son alive

He inquired as to the time

And found out---it was the exact time

Jesus had said,

“Your son will live”

Waiting on God

Waiting on a miracle  

Martha and Mary

Sent word to Jesus,

“The one you love, Lord, is sick”                                                     John 11:3

When he heard this, Jesus said,

“The sickness will not end in death

No it is for God’s glory

So that God’s Son

May be glorified through it”                                                               John 11:4

Jesus waited 2 days

Then he and his disciples

Went to Martha and Mary’s house

Through Judea---the place

Where they had just tried to stone him

Jesus said to Martha and Mary,

“Your brother will rise again”                                                              John 11:23

Martha answered,

“I know he will rise again

In the Resurrection

At the last day”                                                                          John 11:24

Jesus said,

“I am the RESURRECTION and the LIFE

He who believes in me will LIVE

Even though he dies

And whoever Lives and believes in me

Will NEVER die---do you believe that?”                                     John 11:25 & 26

She must have believed---Lazarus lived

And walked the earth again

Do you believe this---Do I

Jesus said to Thomas,

“Because you have seen me

You have believed

Blessed are they who have NOT seen

Yet believed”                                                                                      John 20:29

Waiting on God

Waiting on a miracle

Maybe all we need to do is

JUST BELIEVE

A MIRACLE is defines as EXTRAORDINARY events done through GOD’S POWER

But ALWAYS REMEMBER that God uses the ORDINARY events of life to show his
