And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of

Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage (John
2:1-5). The disciples and the mother of Jesus were at the
wedding; there was faith present for Jesus to work with. And
when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto
him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in
April 1986
Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his
disciples believed on him (Verse 11).

Turning water into wine was His miracle, for the miracles belong Topics: Miracles & Healing
to God. Be conscious of each miracle belonging to Him—His
miracles, not yours or mine—only the benefits belong to us.
Delight in seeing His miracles, knowing that He delights in working miracles so much that one of
the nine gifts of the Spirit is the working of miracles (I Corinthians 12:10). It is a supernatural gift
operated only by supernatural power. The gifts of the Spirit cannot be operated by the spirit of
man; they are operated by the Holy Spirit working through the spirit of man. It is an impossibility
for one of the supernatural gifts to operate with human power and human spirit. The gifts work
through the divine power of the Holy Spirit of Almighty God. [God] that is able to do
exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, ACCORDING TO THE POWER [of
the Holy Spirit] THAT WORKETH IN US (Ephesians 3:20). The degree to which we yield to the
Holy Spirit is the degree to which the power of the Holy Spirit can work through us; in fact, our
yielding to the Holy Spirit is the only way the gifts of the Spirit can work. God's holy miracles are
His, and the results ours.

The great miracle creating the first man, the fantastic miracle of the first woman were His

miracles. That man, that woman belonged to God. God had performed many miracles to prepare
the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve—His miracles. Man had nothing to do with the creation, but
man delighted in its beauty. God created the birds, wrote the songs and taught the birds to sing.
He made all the fish of the sea, gave them the ability to swim; they were God's miracles, they
belonged to God, and they blessed man. God made the trees and caused the green grass to grow.
He created the heavens and the earth, the moon and the stars in the sky for all to behold. The
moon does not belong to anyone but God, nor the stars; they are God's miracles, wonders in the sky
for all to behold. When God made man and woman, He delivered miraculous works into their
hands; He gave Adam knowledge to name all the birds, the beasts and the fish. The wisdom and
knowledge present in the Garden of Eden were God's miracle for the man and woman He made.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them...have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the
earth (Genesis 1:28). The knowledge belonged to God, and willingly He gave Adam all the
miracles he needed to be a caretaker of the Garden. Adam could not have understood about plants
and trees unless God had given him a miracle. Adam did not struggle to become educated the way
we do, and he did not have knowledge in just one area; he had knowledge of all that God had made
and placed within his reach. The miracle was God's, and the benefits poured down upon Adam.

Many things are within our reach, but since we do not know what to do with them, we have to be
trained. Why do we not have the same knowledge as Adam? Because man and woman left God's
miracles behind when they failed God and were driven from the Garden of Eden. And unto
Adam he [God] said, ...cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it
all the days of thy life (Genesis 3:17). No longer a way of life were the miracles that God had
made for man, the miracles that God had delivered into their hands. Sin had wiped out all the
benefits. Before the fall God had provided such miraculous power, such protection that the devil
could not even bring sickness to Adam and Eve. God's miracle of protection was stronger than any
wall that has ever been built; nothing harmful could penetrate it. Adam and Eve breathed as we
do, they had hearts that beat as do ours; but no sickness, no arthritis, no cancer, no disease of any
kind could touch them. They lived with God's miracle protection until the day they were driven
from the Garden.

To prove that miracle protection was still available even after the fall of man, God promised Israel
protection. If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do
that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all
his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon
the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). God said He would keep
sickness from their door—God's miracle—but through their disobedience, Israel destroyed many,
many miracles that God made for them. Like the Israelites, you can destroy God's miracles by
unbelief, by doubt, by disobedience. How many miracles that God either made for you or was
going to make have you destroyed through your failure?

Every miracle that is performed in my services is performed by the Holy Spirit, not by Ernest
Angley. I am just a vessel of clay who is yielded to His will, and He pours out His miraculous Spirit
through me to work His divine will for people. It is a miracle when an eye that was dead is given
life. Only God can give life, only God. When the blind suddenly receive their sight, look beyond the
human hands and see divine hands, supernatural hands with supernatural ability. The
supernatural ability of God is indeed miraculous, so miraculous that God merely threw out His
hands and sprinkled the heaven with stars; He knows the number of stars and their names (Psalms
147:4). God spoke the universe into existence; He said, "Let it be" and it was. Consider His works,
the Bible declares. Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he
hath made crooked (Ecclesiastes 7:13)? Consider His miraculous works. Recognize His
miraculous hand; and you, too, can see the results of His miracles in your life.

Many doubt God's healing power; they do not believe that man can heal. I agree, man cannot heal.
The miracles belong to Him, but the results can be yours. When you receive a miracle from God,
remember where it came from. Treat it with great respect and love; give much praise to Almighty
God for that miracle.

I shall never forget the time, when I was twenty-three years of age and close to death, that God
brought my miracle to me. It was a miracle straight from heaven. I am grateful for good doctors,
good hospitals, good medicine; they assist the healing that God has put into nature, but God is the
One who heals. God gave man wisdom and knowledge to take from nature the healing He placed
there and to apply it to the body, but it is still God's healing power. If God in His miraculous work
had not put healing into nature, there would be no healing for the body that came from the dust of
the earth.

Man has struggled greatly to find the healing that God placed in nature; God has not just handed it
out on a platter, but has made man and woman work for it. Why? Because man and woman in the
past have covered up the miracles of God with their disobediences; they turned their backs on God,
going forth to walk paths of their own choosing, leaving God behind. When they knew God,
they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but became vain in their
imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened (Romans 1:21). Not desiring God's
fellowship, God's miracles, they separated themselves from God.

People through the ages have not recognized God's miracles nor the marvelous benefits which

could have been theirs. Look back to Noah: By faith Noah, being warned of God of things
not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the
which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by
faith (Hebrews 11:7). God gave Noah an unheard of plan—a miracle plan—and although the
people of his day saw that plan come together daily for over one hundred years, they still did not
believe. Noah knew, however, that it was a miracle plan; he had received it from God, and he knew
it would work. He knew that God's miracle plan would bring water enough to set the ark afloat.
Not until the ark was ready, not until Noah, his family and the animals were safely in did the
miracle come; in other words, after Noah had done all that God said, it was God's time for a
miracle, and the ark door closed, Noah and his family secure.

There comes a time—God's time—for miracles. God is always on time, but we must prepare for a
miracle just as the mother of Jesus prepared for His first miracle in Cana. Who was better qualified
to receive a miracle than the handmaiden of the Lord who had been visited by God's angel? And
the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is
with thee; blessed art thou among women...And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus...Then said Mary unto the
angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said
unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God (Luke 1:28,31,34,35). How could it be? God was going to perform an
unbelievable miracle. The holy conception was a greater miracle than when God created the first
man and the first woman, greater than the creation of planet Earth, greater than the creation of the
moon, the stars and the sun. It was the miracle that would serve the world, a miracle that would
save men, women, boys and girls from their sins, a miracle that would pave a highway into that
heavenly Eden. Without that miracle, there would have been no Calvary.

Some have never recognized God's miracle of holy conception, but Jesus the Babe of Bethlehem
was the miracle of God, a miracle that would save all humanity that yielded to Him. If you fail to
recognize that miracle, you fail to find the gate back into Eden, that sacred gate formed in the shape
of a cross. If, however, you believe the miracle of holy conception, then you can find your way to
Calvary; you can find the gate back into the heavenly Eden. Those of you who have been born
again have found the miracle of God—the Savior, the Son of God. You have found the great miracle
of salvation, God's best, the miracle of redemption—how great! Your sins have been washed away
in the blood of the Lamb. Jesus said, For this is my blood of the new testament, which is
shed for many for the remission of sins (Matthew 26:28). In whom we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace
(Ephesians 1:7). But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh
by the blood of Christ (Ephesians 2:13). In whom we have redemption through his
blood, even the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1:14). The blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin (I John 1:7).

God's miracle of salvation is not by works, not by anything man can do, but through the miracle of

God's saving grace. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it
is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8,9). The miracles
are God's, but the results belong to all who accept them. The blood that came down from heaven
—divine blood, not human blood—was in Jesus. The body was human, the blood divine. Salvation
is not an act of nature, but a miracle, a supernatural, fantastic miracle; and it's ours for the taking.

God in His great love reaches out and touches with a measure of faith everyone who wants to
believe in the holy conception, who wants to believe in His great plan of salvation. He can touch
multitudes at a time the way He did in just one service in Africa. Over 100,000 found God; the
angel of the Lord numbered them, declaring the exact number that heaven had recorded. The
miracle of it all belongs to Him, and the results are theirs; I was just a witness standing in awe. I do
not doubt God when He moves; He performs the work, and I shout, "The Lord did it!" Those who
do not have a deep-rooted faith in the Word of God think the miracles of God are nonsense, but
they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord (Jeremiah 5:4). Those, however,
with faith in the Holy Scriptures know that miracles belong to God, and the blessings from those
miracles, to them.

This Bible, this Holy Book, is God's miracle to us; and the benefits we can receive from it, beyond
the imagination. Over fifteen hundred years in the writing, this Book was written by holy men of
God. 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). God worked day and night
preparing these men to set down His Word in all its truth so that His miraculous Spirit could flow
through them without one tiny particle of thought from the human mind getting mixed in with
God's Word. It had to be the divine, pure, infallible Word of the living God.

In Old Testament days, God came down to give Moses the Ten Commandments; by His own finger
God wrote His directions for the children of Israel. And the Lord delivered unto me [Moses]
two tables of stone written with the finger of God (Deuteronomy 9:10). As long as the
Israelites lived by those commandments, God's miracle hand covered them.

After Jesus ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit was given to all mankind who would accept Him.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit men could be completely yielded to God one hundred
percent, men could be cleansed of human doubt that would contaminate the flow of the living
Word of the living God. His Word did flow; it streamed like mighty rivers. The Word is God's
miracle; the miracle is His, and He has given it to us—the Word of the living God that instructs us
in everything we could ever need to know from the cradle to the grave. The Word tells us how to
live, how to act, how to get into God, how to please Him; because the Word understands our
innermost being. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the
joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews
4:12). The miracle is His, but the gift of His miracle belongs to us. The Bible is God's miracle gift.

You will never receive anything as great as the Word of God. The Lord has declared that the Word
will live forever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord
endureth for ever (I Peter 1:24,25).

Jesus said, Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away
(Matthew 24:35).

God's miracle, God's miraculous voice at times is a gentle, tender whisper and at other times a
fearsome thunder booming forth with judgment and warnings to flee the wrath of God that is to
come. The voice of the Lord cried out through John the Baptist, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord, make his paths straight, and also told that God would burn up the chaff with
unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:3,12).

What a miracle it was when God finally groomed that last man who was to complete the
Scriptures! God chooses men that the world would never have chosen. Not many wise men
after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the
foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things
of the world to confound the things which are mighty (I Corinthians 1:26,27). That no
flesh should glory in his presence (Verse 29). In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and
said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things
from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for
so it seemed good in thy sight (Luke 10:21). The Lord chose a Paul. Who ever would have
dreamed that Paul could have been made into God's vessel of honor to play a major part in
evangelizing the known world of that day? Paul was definitely God's miracle; God had to make him
completely new, but that was a small thing in the miraculous hands of God. Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things
are become new (II Corinthians 5:17). For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth
any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (Galatians 6:15). Paul, through the
blood of Christ, was made a whole new person.

When you come into Christ Jesus, you, too, are made a new creation—that's God's miracle for you,
for the lost. He seeks to make many vessels of honor. The miracle is His, but the benefits ours.

Some people have tried to claim the credit for salvation; they have substituted other ways to reach
God rather than through the blood, the miraculous blood from heaven that was shed on Calvary. It
cannot be done. Those vessels of honor are molded through the blood.

With His own hands God made a miraculous heaven; He did not consult man. Only through the
miracle of all miracles—salvation—can you find your way there. The miracle of salvation is
paramount; deliverance from all sin, being made pure as God Himself are brought about only
through the miraculous, divine faith of Almighty God, faith in the divine blood from heaven that

His Son brought down here. It's all according to the Word of God, the Miracle Book. The miracle is
His; the gift of such a miracle of salvation has become ours because of His great love. Treasure it,
obey it, live with it.

The Word of God will dry your tears when nothing else can dry them. He healeth the broken in
heart, and bindeth up their wounds (Psalms 147:3). The miracle of the Word will give you
hope and courage when nothing else will. It will help you see beyond the grave when death's cruel
hand snatches one you love away from you.

The Word tells you that the godly will never die. As we see our bodies going down, this miracle
Book tells us that we will have a new body to go with our new life in Christ Jesus. And though
after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God (Job 19:26). Jesus
said...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live (John 11:25). After physical death comes the new physical body, but the
new spiritual body comes with the born-again experience. We have this new spiritual life as long as
we have Jesus living in our hearts and controlling our lives. We do not have to wait for eternal
life—for the new spiritual life—until we are at death's door; no, the minute we are miraculously
made a new creation through the blood of Jesus, we have the eternal life of heaven.

Some say that once you have this new life in Christ you cannot lose it no matter what you do—the
devil would like you to believe that; it's the lie he told Eve. God said, 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 2:17). Surely you won't die, the devil said; but when
Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit, they died spiritually. It was only later that they died
physically. Spiritually they were dead to God the moment they disobeyed Him.

Our tree of forbidden fruits that lead to spiritual death, the seventeen works of the flesh, is found in
Galatians 5:19-21: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness,
revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time
past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. If you
partake of these fruits you will die spiritually; you cannot enter God's kingdom with even one sin in
your life. Just as Adam and Eve died spiritually when they took one piece of fruit, you will die
when you partake of sin, willful sin; the sacrifice of the blood of Christ no longer will cover you.
You will have turned your back on God's miracle of miracles. The soul, although spiritually dead to
God, does not cease to exist after the physical death of the body, but will spend eternity in hell. As
long, however, as you live holy, act holy, talk holy and are as holy as God said for you to be, you
have God's miracle of eternal life abiding in you and can look forward to a new body to go with the
new life. The provisions for this are made through the miracle plan of God, the plan of salvation;
but even though you have salvation, you can lose it through sin. The soul that sinneth, it shall

die (Ezekiel 18:20). For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

God depends upon us to help Him make miracles; He needs us to believe in Him, to accept His
love, faith, humility, gentleness, goodness so that He can perform miracles. He sent the miracle
worker—the Holy Spirit—to take up habitation on the inside of us, to dwell on the inside and to
produce the nine fruits of the Spirit. He[the Holy Spirit] dwelleth WITH you, and shall be
IN you (John 14:17). The flesh produces fruits; however, the fruits that the Holy Spirit produces
are miraculous fruits, fruits that cannot be produced with the human spirit but only through and by
the Holy Spirit as the human spirit is yielded to that miraculous Spirit of God. But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22,23). The love of God is a
miraculous fruit, produced within you by the Holy Spirit. The peace of God is produced
within—it's God's miracle. The miracles are His; and He must have the honor, the praise, the glory
for them, but His marvelous benefits are ours.

Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it (John 2:5). One day as I read over that Scripture, the
Holy Spirit revealed to my mind: That's it! It's all said in this verse. It's the secret of letting God
perform miracles and healings. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Complete obedience.

Strange things the miraculous God of this universe calls on the human race to do—fast, for
instance. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). I
repeat, the secret of receiving miracles, the secret of deliverance is unlocked by doing whatever He
says.

The Word, the miracle Word...you must hide it in your heart so that you won't sin against God, and
so you have a standard of obedience. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not
sin against thee (Psalms 119:11). My son, attend to my words...For they are life unto
those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Proverbs 4:20,22). The Word is so
miraculous that it heals, brings health to your flesh—God's miracle. He [God] sent his word,
and healed them (Psalms 107:20).

In Cana Jesus looked at the waterpots and told the servants to fill them to the brim. The servants
helped bring about a miracle. It was a simple thing, but acts of faith are not complicated.

Why did the Lord tell Joshua to have the Israelites march around the walls of Jericho in silence
except for those who were to blow the rams' horns? He was preparing them so that He could
perform a miracle; in order for that miracle to take place, the Israelites had to obey His word. And
it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when
ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and

the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man
straight before him (Joshua 6:5). The people were obedient; when they shouted, God tore down
the walls, and they were victorious. The Miracle Book delcares it.

With the miracle faith that God has given us, we should never doubt anything from the Miracle
Book, never neglect to follow any instructions from the miracle mind of the eternal God. His Word
came forth, and it will live as long as God lives—you cannot separate God from His Word. It's the
Word people need today, the living Word. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). As people yield entirely to all
that God has said, they will know that the miracles are His, but the results of those miracles belong
to them.

Many visit my services, see the miracles and healings but do not know where these miraculous
works come from. They come from the miracle God. Some try to cast His miracles into the trash—
healing is of the devil, they say. Why do they doubt? Because they are shrouded in the darkness of
the enemy, not the light of God. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness
comprehended it not (John 1:5). How very tragic when people cannot see the miracle hand of
our loving God! God knew it was difficult for man to see His great miraculous hand; and that is
why He sent the Light, Jesus, into the world. The Light shines for all who do not refuse to see, for
all who will do whatever God says.

Jesus was divinity made flesh with hands the size of a man's hands, eyes to see, ears to hear like we
have. When Jesus came to earth He took steps the length that a man takes, letting us know that He
wanted to walk with us, to be our companion, our guide, our life. [Jesus] Who died for us,
that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him (I Thessalonians 5:10).
He wants to look out for us; but as the prophet Amos asked, Can two walk together, except
they be agreed? (Amos 3:3). They cannot, for there will be strife and confusion just as there is
much strife and confusion in men and women today which have taken them away from God's
miracle of love and protection. The Holy Spirit is grieved daily by the sight of it.

The Holy Spirit seeks to work; He is gathering all mankind together in the great arms of God in this
final hour as He did on the day of Pentecost when those in the Upper Room were in one mind and
one accord (Acts 2:1), one faith—the faith of God, one Bible—the Word of the living God. God is
bringing us together to believe Him for all things, baptizing us in the Holy Spirit so that He can
perform miracles and healings in abundance, so that He can perform signs and wonders before the
people; and they will know that He is God, the Almighty Creator, the Eternal One with everlasting
love for all. He wants us to know that He will do anything good for us when we are obedient to
Him in all ways. They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing (Psalms 34:10).
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them
who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). He has come to bless and not to
curse; He has come to love and not to hate, to receive and not turn aside.

His invitation is standard: Come whosoever will, come. Come in your dirty rags of sin, come with
your leprosy of sin. I will not turn you away; you will not be repulsive to me because I will wash
you; I will cleanse you from all sin and you will be whiter than snow. Purge me with hyssop,
and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow (Psalm 51:7). I will make
you as pure as heaven itself, and I will speak through you. I will sing through you and I will live on
the inside of you. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5). I, the Lord thy
God, will be your God; and you will be my people, the sheep of my pasture. No one can destroy
you; no one can ever take you away from me because my righteousness and my holiness will be
your protection. My faith will be your shield (Ephesians 6:16); and I, the Lord thy God, will do
battle for you. In the name of Jesus you will cast out devils—it will be my miracle—through my
miracle power that's in the name of my Son Jesus. You will lay hands on the sick and they shall get
well (Mark 16:18). Remember, however, when you get well: the miracle is His, it belongs to Him;
and He must have all the honor, all the glory. You don't give honor to the instrument of clay that
God uses to work His power through; the miracle and the glory belong to God; but health is yours.

The miraculous Christ stood among men and performed His miracles. It was His miracle that gave
the blind sight. It was His miracle that changed the water into wine; the servants filled up the pots
with water to the brim—something that any able-bodied person could have done. The pots were
full; nothing else could have been added, or it would have spilled out—no room for Jesus to have
added another substance, no. The ingredients that He uses to perform His miracles cannot be seen
with the human eye, but only through the eye of faith, God's faith. There really is a sixth sense after
all: it's the faith of God. Only through His Spirit can you see it; only through His Spirit can you
believe Him. Jesus spoke to the sick and they were healed. The miracle was His, but the results
belonged to the ones who had been healed, the ones to whom He had given His wonderful touch of
healing. They went forth to praise Him and glorify Him.

Jesus is the name above all names. God has given us that name to use. We speak it and God
performs miracles; we speak it and He performs healings. That signs and wonders may be
done by the name of thy holy child Jesus (Acts 4:30). By the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this
man stand here before you whole (Acts 4:10). We speak His name, but the miracles are
His—they are not of us—they are divine miracles and divine healings performed by divinity,
divinity only, and the results of those miracles become living realities in our lives.

We fill up the water pots; in other words, we fill ourselves up with the faith of God; and when we
are full of the faith of God, then the changeless Christ can change things. Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and to-day, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). The name is Jesus; He never changes.

Jesus used miracle power to raise Lazarus from the dead; He said, 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 11:25,26). No human spirit

raised Lazarus, the miracle was God's; but, again, people were blessed.

Take ye away the stone, Jesus said. He could have commanded the stone to be gone, and it would
have moved as though it had wings; but Jesus wants us to do what we can, and then He will do the
rest. God said, you do something small, I'll do something big; you do something foolish, I'll do
something wise and mighty. Joshua, tell a few of the Israelites to toot the rams' horn, the rest to
keep silence as they march; and then shout when I tell you to shout, those mighty walls will come
tumbling down.

Tell the people, Moses, to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, the miracle hand of God.
Lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the
children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea (Exodus 14:16).
The human spirit of Moses could not separate the waters, only the divine Spirit of Almighty God
pouring through Moses. All Moses did was lift his rod and stretch out his hand with faith, and
multitudes were saved from Egyptian slavery.

It wasn't the human spirit of Daniel that protected him in the den of lions; it was God's miracle.
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt
me, Daniel reported to the king. No manner of hurt was found upon him, because he
believed in his God (Daniel 6:22,23). God's miracle power gave the lions "temporary lockjaw."

The three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace were delivered by God's miracle power. When the king
looked into the furnace, heated seven times hotter than usual, he was amazed. Did not we cast
three men bound into the midst of the fire?...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 3:24,25). The skeptic today would say that had they really been put into the furnace,
they would have burned into three cinders—that's the response of the human spirit degraded by
Satan, filled with doubt upon seeing the hand of the Almighty God; but true believers through the
ages have rejoiced over this mighty miracle.

The spirit of Satan possessing the human spirit causes people to look away from God and to look to
self, to take on a spirit called ego: "I'm in charge; I can do great and wonderful things." Not so.
Only the Almighty, only divinity can do great and mighty things. With God all things are
possible (Matthew 19:26). The eagle is a powerful bird in the sky, but there is a limit on how high
he can fly. There is, however, no limit on God in heaven, only on earth where He has to work
through man; He chooses to limit Himself with man. Through God's great love for the human race
He is bound to man; and since the fall of Adam and Eve it has become great bondage, so great that

it took God's only begotten Son to break it. All of it will be broken. Revelation 20 tells that death
and hell are to be cast into the lake of fire, destroyed by the power of God. Man and woman will
make their choice: it will be a final one.

Just as the rod of Aaron swallowed up the rods of Pharaoh's wise men (Exodus 7:12), God's rod, the
Word of the living God, will swallow up all the sins of Satan until every last sinful person, until
Lucifer and his demons are swallowed as well. The entire kingdom of Lucifer will be swallowed up
and cast into the lake of fire that will burn forever. What will happen then? And God shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he [God] that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new (Revelation
21:4,5). For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost (Luke 19:10).
Everything was lost in the fall of man in the Garden of Eden; and Jesus, by His miraculous works,
will lift the curse from planet Earth. Then there will be a thousand years of peace, a thousand years
of love, a thousand years of God's wisdom and knowledge in action—it's thus saith the Lord.

But in this world that we are now in, the earth under the curse, we still hear our God walking the
earth; through the ear of faith we hear Him, walking, walking. Through the eye of faith we see Him
working with miracle power. He sees a dying mother—He flows His power to her. Prayers do not
have to come through a minister, but can come through any child of God who really believes that
signs shall follow believers as the Bible says. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall
recover (Mark 16:18). A child of God who has the faith of God reaches out and touches that
mother's brow, and the fever breaks. Little children shout with wonderful joy and
happiness—Mama is no longer sick!

The miracle is God's, the healing ours. No one has a right to lay claim to the miracle except the
Lord. God must have all the praise, the honor, the glory. That is the secret of the Jesus ministry. I
have seen the Lord heal countless thousands and perform countless thousands of miracles. I
believe in God; and believing in God means believing in His works, in His miracles. The miracles
are His; and we who see them are to witness, to declare that the hand of God is moving on planet
Earth today and that the Lord is still performing miracles. They are His wonderful works; the
benefits are ours, but the miracles belong to Him!
