Faith And Miracles

John 14:12 – 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 gift of faith and the gift of the working of miracles often work hand in hand. Examples of this - Elijah dividing the waters of the Jordan after Elijah’s mantel came upon him; Jesus turning the water into wine; and when God’s people were delivered by walking on dry ground in the midst of the sea, etc.

All these miracles happened because the gift of faith was in operation to perform them. However, it was the gift of the working of miracles that caused the actual miracles.

Creative miracles take place when God’s omnipotence is manifested through a person’s words and deeds.

When people see these miracles there is no doubt in their minds that it is God doing it.

Creative miracles take place when we simply believe God and expect to see His miracle working power.

God desires to use us to perform signs, wonders, and miracles to draw unbelievers to Him.

Jesus promised that we would do greater works because He was going to the Father.



Are you seeing these greater works that Jesus spoke about? Why or why not?
