Miracles and Jesus

Subscribe: RSS

Jesus performed many miracles. This is a fact, that even his enemies accused Him to bring an accusation against Him. Even though they leveled charges against Him, He did miracles to dazzle his audience to gain a reputation as a wonder-worker. This is made clear by his refusal to comply with requests for a “sign,” (Matt. 12:38-40; 16:4); etc. The miracles served rather as heralds of the messianic age, (Matt. 11:4-5; Lk. 7:22); and they were designed to stir the people to belief and repentance, (Matt. 11:20-21; Lk. 10:13).

Jesus endowed his apostles with the power to perform miracles. (Matt. 10:1,8; 6:6:7; Lk. 8:1; 10:19; Jn. 14:12; Acts 1:8; 2:43; 3:6-7; 9:36-42; 16:16-18). These miracles affirmed the Christian gospel to establish the truth by validation. It was a solemn declaration or affirmation by some sacred Being and assisted in the establishment of a firm foundation for the church.

The first miracle after the Resurrection shows what the Gospel does when it is confirmed with Miracles and healing.

Miracles give undeniable proof of the resurrection.
If Jesus was not alive, His name would have no power to heal the sick and perform miracles! (Acts 4:33).

Peter convinced the unbelieving Jews of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and their need of repentance, on the strength of the fact that Jesus’name still has power to heal the sick and perform miracles! If Jesus was not alive, His name would have no power to heal the sick and perform miracles! (Acts 4:33). It gave boldness to the believers and disciples to preach Christ to the unbelievers (Acts 4:29-30) It made believers hungry to have more of God!

From these roots there derive many different kinds of behavior. A list of twelve causes of curses that proceed from God is given in (Deut. 27:15-26). God warns Israel: “If you do these things, you’ll come under a curse.”

These can be summed up these main causes:

Idolatry, false gods and the occult.
Remember that the occult is the as worshiping false gods.
It means going to false gods or the servants of false gods for help which we should seek only from the true God.

Look particularly the consequences of idolatry or of the occult as stated by God in (Ex. 20:3-6).

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me,” (Ex. 20:3).
“You shall have no other gods before Me” (or beside Me).
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth,” (Ex. 20:4).
“And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four footed beasts, and creeping things,” (Rom.1:23).

Dishonoring parents.

“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, [worship them] nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth Generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments,” (Ex. 20:5,6).
“The first commandment with blessing is: “Honor thy father and mother that it may be well with thee.”

Paul points out that it is the first commandment that carries with it a promise of blessing.

If you fail to honor your parents, you incur a curse upon yourself.
If that is your condition, you need to repent, change, adjust your attitude and if possible your relationship with your parents.

The Mind of Christ in You

Christian Life gives us the advantage of having the ability of having the mind of Christ. This means to have his mind you will be able to operate in His will being able to please God. Having His mind, will change our lives and character to reflect His glory!

If every Pastor would change their minds to throw away all the perverse bibles and return to the use of the King James Versions of the Word; the Church could quickly return to the basics of Christianity with Jesus as the center of the Church. You simply cannot have the mind of Christ if you have been blinded by these paraphrased, perverse bibles, throw them away. I believe the Mind of Christ is one of the most essential and misunderstood elements of the Christian life. The very basis of pleasing God is serving Jesus and living in the power of His Word.

The Apostle Paul challenged the Philippian’s Church to search for comfort in the Spirit and to fulfill His joy by being of one mind with God.

Philippians 2:2, –Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
[Fulfill ye my joy] Ye ought to complete my joy, who have suffered so much to bring you into the possession of these blessings, by being like-minded with myself, having the same love to God, his cause, and me, as I have to him, his cause, and you.
[Being of one accord] Being perfectly agreed in laboring to promote the honor of your Master; and of one mind, being constantly intent upon this great subject; keeping your eye fixed upon it in all you say,
Everyone have “is intent on one purpose.”
“What was the purpose that Paul was referring to?
“Let nothing be done through strife or vain glory (self conceit); but in lowliness of mind let each (one) esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” (vs.4)

Believers should have a concern for others of the Christian Church; turning from being busybodies o to mind other people’s business, but rather to encourage a sincere desire for the well-being of all God’s people. We must humble ourselves, not allowing strife or selfish conceit to have place among us.
