Acts 8:5,6 "Then Philip [the deacon not the Apostle] went down to the city and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did"
Miracles are awesome, they are for today, they are for each of us, and not just a select few. What is a miracle? A miracle is the intervention of God, through a person, in the normal course of nature. How do miracles happen? The way see it, you have to have the right recipe.
First it says in Acts 8:5, Philip, the deacon, not the Apostle…I like that because Philip was simply serving in the church. If you’re a person who serves, you’re a candidate for "interventions in the regular course of nature". You don’t have to be a preacher or a famous minister. Philip cleaned, served, waited on people and he saw miracles that changed a city.
Here's 3 simple ingredients for a miracle life:
1. Attitude! What is your attitude when you have an seemingly insurmountable problem? Is it "I have a huge problem" or "I have an opportunity for God to come through"?
2. Look to Jesus for instructions, almost all of the miracles in the Bible involved a human being's participation.
3. Don't rush! Learn to wait to hear the voice of God. Don't move too soon, but don’t be afraid to make a mistake either.
Like Philip, there is a miracle-lifestyle waiting for you. God has other's in mind when he called you to your job, your family, your church, your city, so go for it!
