“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.”
Ephesians 1:3
Miracles are included in this spiritual blessing.
📝 Miracles are when God BREAKS PROTOCOL to what science, law, statistics, and physics say can’t be done.
Miracles are when God defies the odds, redefines expectations, crosses over into what can’t be done, and begins to take residence in the impossible.
📝 “For WITH GOD nothing shall be impossible.”
Luke 1:37
Impossible is God’s calling card.
Impossible is God’s job description.
Impossible is everyday to God.
Impossible is God’s warm up routine.
Impossible is no stress to God.
Impossible is no strain to God.
Impossible is effortless to God.
Impossible is inexhaustible to God.
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ.”
Ephesians 1:3
Since miracles are included in this spiritual blessing, and since we’re living under an OPEN HEAVEN, I say to you this morning,
CHANGE IS COMING
Not just any type of change….a miracle.
But Jesus replied, “Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign; but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah. Matthew 12:39
📝 We don’t ask for a miracle TO PROVE that He’s God, we ask for a miracle because WE KNOW that He’s God.
Since change is coming, we must know where to look because…
You can’t change without THE CHANGER.
Then the LORD said to Abram, “KNOW THIS for certain: Your offspring will be resident aliens for four hundred years in a land that does not belong to them and will be enslaved and oppressed. Genesis 15:13
Know this, know that I know.
📝 Your affliction has an EXPIRATION DATE!
But I WILL punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions. Genesis 15:14
“Years passed, and the king of Egypt died. But the Israelites continued to groan under their burden of slavery. They cried out for help, and their cry rose up to God. God heard their groaning, AND HE REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT PROMISE TO ABRAHAM, Isaac, and Jacob.”
Exodus 2:23-24
“He looked down on the people of Israel and knew IT WAS TIME TO ACT.”
Exodus 2:25
The act that God was getting ready to pull off was a miracle.
Miracles are God’s business.
It’s not on me to make it happen.
It’s not on the worship team to set just the perfect atmosphere for God to show up. God showed up in Genesis, stepped out on NOTHING and created EVERYTHING.
Miracles are only manufactured in Heaven.
When you need a miracle, there’s only one place you can go to. When you need a miracle, there’s only one person you can call on—God Almighty.
“And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,”

“I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like purest wool.

GIVE THIS WOMAN HER FLOWERS!
She had to conquer leaving the house.
She had to conquer the crowd.
She had to conquer time.
She had to conquer exhaustion.
She had to conquer the opinion of others.
You don’t need what I need. You haven’t been through what I’ve been through. You haven’t cried how I cried. You haven’t experienced what I experienced. You haven’t paced the floor, like I’ve paced the floor. You haven’t tossed and turned, like I’ve had to toss and turn. You haven’t bled like I’ve bled. You haven’t had to fight, like I had to fight.
Excuse me if I wear it on my face, I no longer have the strength to fight it. I no longer have the strength or desire to cover it up. I NEED A CHANGE. I NEED JESUS. I NEED A MIRACLE!
WHAT’S YOUR MIRACLE?
What are you believing God to do?
