All in Miracles

Chaos, Uncertainty, and trusting in God to routinely provide Miracles

Richard Forbes
Christian, Daily Devotion, Understanding God, Miracles

In the chaotic moments of life do we panic, or do we begin leaning on our faith for God‘s miraculous rescue and relief? In those times that are so dire, out of the ordinary, and perhaps cause us to experience great fear, do we attempt to save ourselves, run away, or do we call out for Jesus? The truth is... When we find ourselves in those dark times and we are struggling, or shaking in fear, we typically do one of three things, we either look inward for our own solution, give up, or lean on our faith, but sometimes the situation is more complicated than we realize, and we do all three!

Coronavirus - Praying, Listening, and then Praying again, and again, and again

Christian, Daily Devotion, Healing Prayer, Miracles

Has your life been impacted in some way by the Coronavirus epidemic, or the attempts being made by governments to combat it? Perhaps you are watching as it is making life hard for someone you love, know, or are aquatinted with. Regardless of whether it strikes close to home, or is far away, we can’t escape the feeling it leaves us with. When we are in trouble, hurting, afflicted, or watching the suffering in someone dear to us, we are tempted to separate ourselves, and then, as the silence of God continues, a sense of helplessness, and loneliness sets in. As Christians we are never alone; nor without help, even when our prayers are met with silence God is with us always... this is our promise, and our firm belief.

In the Midst of Plague Hold Fast to what is Good!

Did you ever think that you would live through a biblical scale plague? In your wildest dreams could you forsee the world experiencing something that we have read about happening during bible times? Did you wonder to yourself how those ancient figures could experience such catastrophe and not see that it was brought upon them by the hand of God, and that He was greater than they were? Well to understand those stories, and the seemingly unbelievable reluctance of those people to hear God, all we need do is look around us today. 

Faith, it fuels the engine of miracles, and gives wings to our prayers.

How strong is your faith? You might pray for a miracle, but without faith it stalls before it can rise before the throne of God. No prayer is heard and acted upon without the wings of our faith having been attached to it. Are we like Peter in our prayers? Do we begin to walk on water, but look around us, falter in our fear and wavering faith, and then begin to sink?

Of Old Men, and Throwing off the Chains of Sickness.

Richard Forbes
Daily Devotion, Alive, Healing, Miracles, Christian

As a Christian, are you meant to be sick? What does the Bible tell us about what we should do if we are ill? Well it isn’t a mystery, and is spelled out very clearly. We are meant to be healed. Yet, so many of us think that although Jesus and the disciples healed, that this is a dead practice today... well it isn’t. The gift of healing is just as alive today as it was in the time of Jesus, and it continues to happen in the Church today.

Miracles; The Breath of a Living God

Richard Forbes
Faith, Miracles, God, Daily Devotion, Christian

There are many who study the Bible, and upon reading of the healings and other miracles come to the conclusion that those days must have been the “times of miracles”, and convince themselves that we are not living in such times today. Friends, there is no biblical foundation for such thought, as a matter of fact Jesus taught by using miracles, just as we see in the Old Testament, and He teaches us that we too will perform and receive miracles today.

Is your belief in Miracles a Miracle?

Richard Forbes
Faith, Miracles, Christian, Gifts, Belief, Daily Devotion

Can we perform miracles today? I can’t tell you how many times I have heard that question asked, but by merely posing the question we are pointing to the reason why so many ask it in the first place... faith, or the lack thereof. Have you reconciled yourself to the fact that miracles were a thing of the past, or do you grasp hold of this gift and see them performed today?

Faith and Will; the Tears and Purpose of Miracles

Richard Forbes
Miracles, Christian, Daily Devotion, God’s Will, Faith

How is your faith? Are you strong in it, or is it lacking in some regard? Can you move a mountain, or do you think your faith is too small to move even a grain of sand? The disciples were chastised by Jesus on more than one occasion for their lack of faith, so do not lose heart, but ask God why you can’t do a thing, or why you don’t receive. You may find that in some cases it has less to do with faith than you think.
