Part 1
taught us that miracles are made from the things we offer to God.
·
Miracles
are most often the result of a partnership between God and man.
o What do you have?
Part 2
reminded us that God demands we participate in our miracle.
·
Most
miracles take time, energy and effort.
o Naaman the leper
o Crossing the Red Sea
o Manna from heaven
o Peter walking on the
water
o Feeding the 5000
·
Go
and Do are the two cornerstones of a miracle
Part 3
encouraged us to not limit God.
·
There
is such potential in an empty vessel.
·
When
we find ourselves in great need, think bigger not smaller!

My
dad told me that if something wasn’t selling, go up on it and many times people
will think more of it and subsequently want it more.
A
miracle is anything God does that would not have gotten done without Him. If
you can get God involved in anything you are doing, you are going to experience
a miracle. Every time heaven gets involved in the affairs of man it constitutes
Divine Intervention. God working with man is a miracle.
Miracles
create supernatural results where natural results would not have been enough.
God works in our lives, families, businesses, Churches, communities and nation
to accomplish His will especially when we ask Him.
Miracles
happen in relationships, finances, food, travel, health, weather, war and
witnessing. God opens doors that no man can shut and shuts doors which no man
can open. Miracles often happen without our knowledge or request. God
intervenes as He sees fit and He is also often moved to participate with us to
meet a felt need we offer to Him.
We
haven’t tried everything until we try God. Unfortunately, many people try
everything but God and others try everything before they try God. God wants to
be involved in our lives and He will be if we will invite and include Him. God
does not always work according to our will but according to His. When we ask
God for help, He will often ask us to work it out under His leadership. God
requires us to provide what we should, even when all we can do is believe, then
He does the rest … that’s how miracles are made.
2 Kings 4 NKJV
1 ¶ A certain woman of the
wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my
husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And the
creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”
2 So Elisha said to her,
“What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she
said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow
vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors — empty vessels; do
not gather just a few.
Part 4 will conclude this month’s study on miracles by showing
us that God has a greater purpose
for your miracle than just meeting your immediate needs.
2 Kings 4
4 “And when you have come in,
you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour it into all those
vessels, and set aside the full ones.”
5 So she went from him and
shut the door behind her and her sons, who brought the vessels to her;
and she poured it out.
6 Now it came to pass, when
the vessels were full, that she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And
he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” So the oil ceased.
7 Then she came and told the
man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and
your sons live on the rest.”
