Without Miracles
by Ernest Angley
March 2009
When the Lord gave me this message, He took me back to the very beginning of creation, the time when He spoke so many things into existence. He showed me that He did it all through miracle power. Without Miracles, there would be no earth, no sun or moon, and no light. There would be no life on Earth; it would be desolate like so many other planets.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness (Genesis 1:1-4).
The earth was covered with water and the darkness of eternal death, but the Lord spoke with a miracle voice. For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass (Ezekiel 12:25).
God spoke those beautiful stars into existence, but Without Miracles there’d be no stars or sun. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth (Genesis 1:16,17).
Imagine what it would be like with no daylight; that’s how it’s going to be in hell. That eternal darkness on Earth was first reserved for the devil because thus saith the Lord, He made this planet as awful as He could for the devil and the fallen angels.
The Miracle of Man
Without Miracles there never could have been a perfect man called Adam. But God made him out of the dust of the earth as Jesus and the Holy Ghost looked on. Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Genesis 1:26,27).
Then God gave man the greatest gift of all when He breathed upon him and gave him a living soul, one that would live forever and never die. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Genesis 2:7).
Then God made an Eden, but Without Miracles there never could have been such a beautiful Garden with every kind of fruit tree imaginable and none of the fruit was spoiled by worms. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:8,9).
Man and woman were placed in Eden to dress the Garden. God delighted in them, and He would come down in the cool of the day to walk and talk with them. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it (Genesis 2:15).
Without Miracles man and woman never could have had all the joy they did in Eden. They had no heartaches, sicknesses or diseases; and their bodies were intended to live forever!
Sin Ruined the Miracle Eden
Adam and Eve were given so much, but they sinned; and because of that, their souls died within them. The Lord had warned them that if they ever ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, they would die.
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die (Genesis 2:16,17).
The devil told one big lie to deceive Adam and Eve: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:4,5). Unfortunately, Eve chose to believe the devil rather than the miraculous God who had created her.
When God withdraws all His miracles, this world will become utter chaos. Those who don’t believe in miracles will wake up; and when they’re cast into the lake of fire, they’ll finally know that God is God and that He doesn’t lie.
Where Are the Miracles?
In the book of Judges, you’ll find a man called Gideon who was visited by an angel. At that time, Israel was in awful shape; and the enemy had come in and taken them over because they didn’t have enough power to resist. Israel had experienced many miracles of deliverance in the past, but Gideon could no longer see God’s miracle hand at work. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites (Judges 6:12,13).
Like Gideon, I ask people today, “Where are the miracles?” My church is alive with them, and that’s why we’re taking this miracle Gospel to the whole world. Without Miracles there would be no Gospel, no salvation and no deliverance. But thank God for the miracle Christ, the miracle God and the miracle Holy Spirit so that all these things can be ours!
We must not only believe in miracles; we have to depend on them. God performs miracles in every one of my services! People travel thousands of miles to attend, and they receive. What would they do if we didn’t have miracles?
I built my ministry from the ground up through the miracle power of God. I began by advertising, If you don’t see miracles, don’t come back! That brought many people to my services, and miracles still bring them today.
There are so many dead churches today that need to ask themselves, “Where are the miracles?” The Bible describes them as having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away (II Timothy 3:5). When you deny His power, you’ve denied His salvation and all hope of Heaven because you’ve denied the blood that was shed on Calvary.
The Miracle of Supply
Without Miracles there never would have been an ark that saved eight souls. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Make thee an ark of gopher wood…and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee. And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them. Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he (Genesis 6:13-14,18,19,21,22).
They were on that ark for over a year, and Noah and his family never could have put enough food on board to feed themselves and the animals all that time; so there must have been miracle food barrels. The Lord had to have kept them full, and He later did the same thing in Elijah’s day. When the widow woman obeyed the voice of God through His servant Elijah, the Lord filled up her empty meal barrel and cruse of oil; and He kept them full during the whole famine. And when he [Elijah] came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said…Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth (I Kings 17:10-14).
Use Miracle Faith
Miracle power can do anything. Jesus came saying, All things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). Every word in the English language that ends with eth means to continue; so you can’t believe only at times, you have to keep on believing. Reach out with divine faith; there is no end to it.
Faith is a gift, and faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of [the living] God (Romans 10:17). Faith moves all kinds of mountains out of the way. Jesus said, 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 (Mark 11:23). Praise God forevermore!
There couldn’t have been an Abraham had there not been any miracles. He is called the Father of the faithful to this day. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham (Galatians 3:7-9).
Jesus didn’t come through the Law; He came through faithful Abraham. Jesus is our divine High Priest, and He’s always at the right hand of the Father to make intercession for us. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34).
The Holy Spirit also makes intercession for us, so what do we have to worry about? Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:26,27).
Miracle Prayers
We must know that Jesus always hears us. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always (John 11:41,42). That’s the only way to pray. I know the Lord hears every prayer I pray, and children of God should know it as well.
Grab hold of divine faith and love, and pray miracle prayers. We have a miracle bloodline right to the throne of God. We have a miracle God and His miracle Word which says, The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry (Psalm 34:15). God hears every word that we pray. But I don’t ever want Him to answer a prayer for me unless it’s His divine will.
Miracle Deliverance
There never could have been a Joseph had it not been for miracles. His brothers sold him as a slave, but he was later raised up to be second in power in the land of Egypt. The Lord had marked him to be the savior for his people and to preserve their lives in the time of famine. Joseph explained it all to his brothers saying, Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt (Genesis 45:5-8). If it had not been for miracles, none of these events ever could have happened.
A Miracle Man
Without Miracles little Moses never would have been saved. Pharaoh was determined to kill all the male babies, but Moses’ mother and father stepped out on faith. They made a little basket, put him in it and set it afloat on the Nile River. And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river; and her maidens walked along by the river’s side; and when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him. And the child grew…and he became her son. And she called his name Moses (Exodus 2:5,6,10).
It was a miracle! Moses was right where God wanted him, being raised in Pharaoh’s house. But Moses never lost love for his own people, and he defended a Hebrew worker one day by killing two Egyptian soldiers. However, his brethren didn’t understand, and Moses had to flee for his life. And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord came unto him, Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet: for the place where thou standest is holy ground. I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt (Acts 7:30-34).
It took forty years for God’s miracle power to make Moses into a great leader, but the Israelites never would have been led out of Egypt or passed through the Red Sea on dry ground without the miracles God performed through Moses. Many of the Israelites were afraid to leave; but because of miracles, the fear left them. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left (Exodus 14:13,21,22).
Don’t Reject Miracles
Without Miracles Israel would have perished. The people would have been killed or starved to death in the wilderness. As it was, all those who were twenty years and older, except for Caleb and Joshua, did die in the wilderness because of their disobedience. Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. And the LORD’S anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed (Numbers 32:11-13).
Why did the Lord allow this?—Because Israel had seen the miracles and refused them. When people refuse miracles, they blaspheme; and the Israelites had blasphemed against God and against the Holy Ghost who performed the miracles, and God cut them off.
People who make fun of God’s miracles are in danger of blaspheming against the Holy Ghost. Paul said he tried to kill every Christian he could, but he said he found forgiveness because he did it in ignorance. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus (I Timothy 1:12-14).
But people today can’t say they’re rejecting God and His miracles in ignorance because the Lord is revealing Himself and His mighty works all over the world through this Jesus ministry. The Lord told me that when people or even preachers witness His miracles and reject them, they would blaspheme against the Holy Ghost; and it’s happening today.
The Red Sea Miracle
Without Miracles the Red Sea never could have separated; but God made a highway right through it. However, if you don’t believe in miracles, you will deny that ever happening. The Israelites had to believe that miracle because Pharaoh’s army was coming after them, and it was their only way out. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them (Exodus 14:23, 26-28). The Egyptian army was the greatest of its day, but God saw to it that every one of them perished.
Without Miracles there would be no God to help us, no strength and no happiness from Heaven; there would be no trees, no grass and no beautiful flowers; there would be no birds in the air or fish in the sea. Without Miracles there would be no healing, but we do believe in miracles because we believe in God!
People who fight miracles are fighting the miracle works of Almighty God, but God has had just about enough. He said if people wouldn’t receive the truth, He’d let them believe a lie and be damned. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness (II Thessalonians 2:11,12). That’s the Word, and God stands by His Word!
We can depend on the Word and trust it completely! There’s nothing like the Word of the living God, and the Bible tells us it’s full of power. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost (I Thessalonians 1:5).
Without Miracles we wouldn’t have the written Word because there would have been no holy men of God for the Holy Ghost to pour it through. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21).
Elijah’s Miraculous Homegoing
Without Miracles there could have been no prophet Elijah standing before Ahab saying, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word (I Kings 17:1). Ahab was a wicked king, and the Bible declares it didn’t rain for three-and-a-half years.
Then Elijah called Elisha to be a prophet in his place. And the LORD said unto him [Elijah], Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria: And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah (I Kings 19:15,16,19,20).
As Elisha and Elijah walked together, it was time for Elijah to be raptured. And it came to pass, when they were gone over [Jordan], that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so. And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven (II Kings 2:9-11).
The Miracle of the Rapture
Elisha believed that Elijah was going to be raptured, and the sons of the prophets had the same message. I’m sure Elijah had taught them what was going to happen just like we’re telling people today that we’re getting ready to leave here. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:52).
People scoffed at Elijah’s homegoing, and one day forty-two children were mocking the Rapture. And as he [Elisha] was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them (II Kings 2:23,24). Many people mock the Rapture today, and they’re going to end up in God’s left hand of judgment just as those forty-two children did. There’s only one flight out; and after it’s over, those left are going to wish they had been on board.
All the end-time signs point to our being the Rapture generation, and it will soon come. The only thing left to do is to bring in the harvest. Jesus said, And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come (Matthew 24:14). Judgment is about to fall on the United States as well as other ungodly nations. People have mocked God for too long, and they’ll deserve everything they get—hell and the lake of fire as the eternal ages roll!
Jesus said, Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:32,33). Jesus is now at the door; and when somebody is at your door, it doesn’t take long for them to step inside. We are so close.
A Double Portion of Miracle Power
Elisha wanted a double portion of miracle power, and that’s what he got. He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan; And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him (II Kings 2:13-15).
The double portion—that’s what I want, and that’s what the Bride of Christ should seek. We must want all the miracle power we can get, and the Lord is giving us that power. He’s giving us the Jesus mantle with which to strike the waters so they’ll separate and open the way to the nations. We’re winning people for the Lord all over the world, and it’s marvelous what the good Lord is doing. But Without Miracles, none of this could happen. Without Miracles I wouldn’t be alive. My healthy body is God’s miracle, a witness to His mighty power. I’m telling the world about this miracle power.
Many people don’t believe that the Lord heals AIDS, and even some so-called Christians don’t believe it; but I believe in miracles, and I believe in God! God said, Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)? That includes AIDS and any other deadly diseases, so we’re documenting the AIDS testimonies and showing them to the people. We want the world to see medical proof that the Lord heals AIDS. Week after week this ministry receives testimonies of AIDS miracles, and some even tell about entire families being healed. God is doing great things because He’s the miracle God. Man can’t make miracles, but God can!
The Miraculous Jesus
Jesus came as a miracle, born of the Virgin Mary. People scoffed and said it couldn’t be, but it happened. When God says something, I believe it; and that settles it!
Mary, the mother of Jesus, helped to make the first miracle by telling the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it (John 2:5). We can help Jesus make miracles through the faith He has given us and through our obedience, but we can’t make them by ourselves. We have to do what the Lord tells us to do.
A little boy helped Jesus make a great miracle by giving Him his basket of food. There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten (John 6:9-13).
The Lord takes what we have to offer Him and makes miracles. He has miracle hands that bring miracles to whatever He touches. He takes shattered lives and makes them whole again. He came to heal the brokenhearted, to set the captives free and to deliver the devil possessed.
A Miraculous Victory!
Without Miracles there couldn’t have been a little David who slew Goliath with only a slingshot. He gathered up five little stones—J-E-S-U-S—but it didn’t take all of Jesus to defeat the giant; it just took one stone.
Saul had backslidden, and the armies of God had failed; and everyone trembled before Goliath. But little David wasn’t afraid. And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled (I Samuel 17:48-51). David didn’t carry a sword; it turned out that Goliath had carried his own sword of death, and David gave God all the glory. Without Miracles this victory never could have happened.
Miracles Don’t Depend on Numbers
Gideon was brought into the miracle power, but Without Miracles there could have been no Gideon’s army. The Midianites had taken over Israel and made its people slaves. They had defeated God’s people, so Gideon went forth with thirty-two thousand men. But that wouldn’t have brought the miracle that God wanted, and He had to have all the glory! And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand (Judges 7:2,3).
It seemed to Gideon that there was only a small army left, but the Lord said that he still had too many men. And the LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go. So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water. And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place (Judges 7:4-7).
Why does the Lord let us get into close places?—So we can only be helped through the miracle power of God. Whether it’s a physical, spiritual or financial bondage, the answer has to come through God; and it will if we believe in miracles. Many people would have been dead today had it not been for miracles. God has healed them of all kinds of death diseases including AIDS, and we have documented AIDS cases. God’s miracle power is wonderful!
Gideon ended up with just three hundred men; but they had the light of God, and through His miracle power they won.
Without Miracles there never could have been a story about the praying Daniel who wouldn’t stop praying even when the king threatened to throw him into the lions’ den. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of music brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me (Daniel 6:11-13,16,18-22). Daniel slept with the lions that night and was rescued by the king the next morning, but this story never would have ended in victory Without Miracles.
The Fourth Man Brought a Miracle
Without Miracles the three Hebrew boys wouldn’t have been delivered from the fiery furnace in Babylon, and a fourth man never would have come down to deliver them. But they didn’t bow, and they didn’t burn. Who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God (Daniel 3:15-20,23-25).
Without Miracles the Hebrew boys would have been three cinders; but there was a fourth man in that furnace—the miracle Christ, the Son of God, the Light of the world and the Lily in all our valleys. He’s the bright and morning Star and our Rose of Sharon way up on the mountaintop; He is our all in all.
Jesus is the ladder to Heaven that Jacob saw. And he [Jacob] dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it (Genesis 28:12). Jesus is our forgiveness and our passport into Heaven.
Miracle Answers
At the age of twelve, Jesus had all the answers; and He still has all the answers today for those who will accept them. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him [Jesus] in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers (Luke 2:46,47). All Jesus’ answers are miraculous, great and mighty! God’s miracle answers are why I have a great work, a platform for the world that’s reaching to the ends of the earth in this final hour. The great invitation goes forth, Come to Jesus; and in just one service thousands answer that call. Multitudes come out of witchcraft, voodooism and other darknesses of the devil; and they come to the light that shines from Heaven. I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12). Because of miracles, John the Baptist could say, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world (John 1:29). Praise God!
Because of miracles, Jesus told the man by the pool who had not walked in thirty-eight years to take up his bed. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked (John 5:8,9). Later, He warned him to go and sin no more. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). People will say you can’t live free from sin, and it’s true that you can’t Without Miracles. But Jesus had given this man a miracle, and He also offered him miracle salvation.
A woman bent over with devil bondage was unable to straighten up. Today we call it arthritis, and miracle power made her whole. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God (Luke 13:12,13).
Resurrection Miracles
Jairus’ daughter was just twelve years old when the Lord raised her from the dead. While he [Jairus] yet spake [to Jesus], there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole…and [Jesus] took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat (Luke 8:49,50,54,55). The miracle voice of Jesus called death sleep, and He woke her up just as you’d wake a little one in the morning.
Lazarus had been dead four days, and his sisters thought Jesus had come too late. One of the sisters said, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die (John 11:21-26). Jesus wanted Martha to know that she would see the glory right then!
Jesus…cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God (John 11:38-40)? You can think about something that will make your faith waver, or you can keep your mind on what the Lord says. Martha stood by Jesus; and He told her, Only believe and you’ll see the glory—and she did!
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid…[and] he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go (John 11:41,43,44). We all need to get the stones out of the way because victory is on the other side; it’s just that simple with God!
Miracle Power Changes People
That great voice from Heaven will call for us one day, and the trumpet of God will sound. The dead in Christ shall rise first; and then through that miracle power, we who are alive and remain will be caught up to be with the Lord forever. But this is just for people who believe in miracles. Without Miracles in people’s spirits and without the miracle mind of Jesus, it will never happen. But the Word says that we can have it!
We’re conquering today by miracle faith, miracle love and miracle grace. Without Miracles the nine fruits of the Spirit couldn’t be produced in our lives. The miracle blood took out the Adamic nature so the soil could be prepared to have these nine fruits produced inside of us. The Lord said, He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).
He also said, And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever (John 14:16). The Holy Spirit will set up His abode on the inside of you to teach you and guide you and dwell in you forever. He is the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you (John 14:17).
Miraculous Grace
We don’t walk alone in the dark; we walk in the light. We see the footsteps of Jesus, and we know our way because we recognize Him by His love and grace. Without Miracles there would be no grace for any of us today, but we do have His grace. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me (II Corinthians 12:9).
Thank God for His grace! Through it we’re saved, healed and have our passport to Heaven. We’ll lift up our eyes and behold that beautiful city built by the hand of God; man’s hands had nothing to do with it. Miracle hands built all of it, and it’s there for every child of God.
All of God’s works are great and wonderful, but the Bible only tells us about just a few of His trillions of works. When the great God speaks, what He says comes to pass. For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass (Ezekiel 12:25).
I sure do love the Lord. I love to walk hand-in-hand with His Son Jesus. I love to wear His shoes, to do His wonderful works and to see people set free. I love to see the devil possessed delivered, and all the glory goes to the Lord. Without Miracles many never would have heard about the man called Jesus; but now they can’t get away from Him. People have tried to get away by scorning Him and erasing His name from society. Many don’t even want their children to sing Christmas carols; but where they’re going, there will be no Christmas carols and no one to glorify God anyway. No one will live holy in hell, and no miracle will bring people out of it.
Only miracles from Heaven can save people from hell today and make them completely whole. The Lord creates and re-creates all through His miracle power and greatness, and they’re here today.
Miracles Are the Answer
Do you attend a dead church with no miracles? If you never see miracles, you’re not going to a Jesus church. Just as Gideon did, ask yourself, Where are the miracles? and get them working in your life. The Lord wants our lives to be operated by miracles. We’ll never make it outside of Eden without miracle power, miracle blood, miracle forgiveness and miracle greatness.
This message never ends. It will go on and on throughout eternity! Without Christ’s miracle love leading Him to Calvary for us, we wouldn’t be ready for Heaven.
How wonderful are the ways of the Lord! Do you love Him today; do you appreciate everything about Him? In all of His greatness and power, He loves you with an unending love; and He’s reaching out to you. It’s whosoever will, let him come! And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17).
Miracle Salvation
Today is the day of salvation. If you’re unsaved or you’ve gone away from God, come home now before eternal darkness overtakes you or you’ll never see Heaven. Say the sinners’ prayer. Oh, God, save my soul. Forgive me of all my sins. I’m so sorry that I sinned against you; but I’ve come home, and I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe in miracles because I believe in God; I believe in the Son of God, and I believe in the Holy Spirit, the miracle worker. And I believe, oh, I do believe that the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins! Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in!
If you believed that prayer, now you can say, Hallelujah! I have the miracle of salvation! That’s the miracle of all miracles because no other miracle is as great as the miracle of salvation. With deliverance from all sin and the Adamic nature all gone, you’re as pure as Heaven itself!
The Bible says that we must be holy. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). You’ll never be saved or look upon God’s face without His holiness.
The Bible tells us that Jesus came to make us the righteousness of God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (II Corinthians 5:21).
The Miraculous Healer
Without this miracle power and without these nine gifts of the Spirit working through my life, the multitudes would not be delivered like they have been. I live in His presence. I have no life of my own because I’ve given it all to Him. I don’t operate His miraculous gifts; the Holy Spirit who dwells in my body that He has made holy operates the gifts, and you can be healed. I’m not your healer; Jesus is your healer.
Lord, I bring the people before you with AIDS and HIV. I bring them with diabetes, cancer, heart trouble, lung trouble, leprosy, paralysis and all manner of sicknesses and diseases. I also bring those who are devil possessed, those who are bound with alcohol, drugs and other devils of darkness. Deliver them with miracle power, in the name of Jesus! Deliver, in the holy name of the Lord! In the name of Jesus, I command the devils to come out of the devil-possessed to enter them no more. Heal! Heal! Be thou delivered and set absolutely free!
Prayer, fasting and living in the Word will keep you growing and doing all the will of God as you walk hand-in-hand with Jesus on the King’s Highway.
