EXTRAORDINARY MIRACLES

11
And God was doing extraordinary
WORD miracles by the hands of Paul, 12so that
even handkerchiefs or aprons that had
touched his skin were carried away to the
sick, and their diseases left them and the
evil spirits came out of them.

Acts 19:11–12

(Read also Acts 19:8–10, 13–20.)

For all of us to be aligned with that phrase that is really beautiful especially as we apply it to
our faith. We definitely celebrate good behaviors, good things that we see on the outside but
we are basically saying that it shouldn’t be superficial. It should be coming from within.

THE GOOD NEWS WAS / IS / WILL BE PREACHED

8 And he entered the synagogue and for three months spoke boldly, Reasoning and
persuading them about the kingdom of God. 9… and he took the disciples with him, reasoning
daily in the hall of Tyrannus. 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia
heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks...

He's preaching in the synagogues, he was preaching to the scattered Jews. It was preached,
Jesus said GO & PROCLAIM, it will continually be preached.

Before we go out, we preach it where we are. We do it here and now. Pray for them, believe
for opportunity. Go ahead and believe for more, reach for more. There will be people who are
more than willing and ready.

It's Jesus' command, it's the power of God for salvation of everyone who believes

KNOW / TELL THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS TODAY.

THERE WAS / IS / WILL BE OPPOSITION

9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before
the congregation…

Acts 19:9
They don't want to be told what to do, we pursue what is comfortable, what is convenient,
what brings us thrill and satisfaction even for a short time.

That's what sin does. What excites you? What gives you drive? We preach and continue to
preach

You don't exactly know what hangs in the balance. You don't know what God is doing as you
respond in obedience. We lead them to a relationship, we let our life speak.

We are to continue to proclaim, the opposition and challenges are given. Sharing the things of
God will not be easy.

THERE WAS / IS / WILL BE CONVERSIONS

9… he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.
[a] 10 This continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord,
both Jews and Greeks. 17 And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and
Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled. 18 Also many of
those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging their practices. 19 And a number of
those who had practiced magic arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of
all. And they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand pieces of silver. 20 So
the word of the Lord continued to increase and prevail mightily.

– Acts 19

Both Jews and Greeks / New Believers and Already Following… Revivals happened… They will
receive the message, they will respond, it will make sense God will meet them. They will have
a deep and radical transformation.

There will be renouncing of sin. RENOUNCE - Pride, cursing, cussing, comparison, insecurity,
unforgiveness, hatred, pornography, immorality, addiction, lies, victim mindset, duplicity,
irresponsibility, apathy, laziness.

Christianity is not a matter of providing a list of religious rules, but experiencing the saving
and transforming power of Jesus as we put our trust in Him.
