Expect Your Miracle – Part 4
Dr RJ Sing
“When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?”
The second element is to just do. Faith is important but as important as faith is, it’s not enough. You can’t believe on the inside and do nothing on the outside. For faith to come alive, you have to take action. James 2:26 “Faith without works is dead.”
There is a connection between doing and receiving, in the very first miracle Jesus ever performed. This was a miracle drawn out by Mary who wanted that miracle (John 2.) Her faith was not shaken by Jesus’ reply and she continued to expect a miracle.
When they drew out the water the water turned into wine. Mary said, “Whatever He tells you to do, do it.” This in one of the major keys to receiving a miracle, whatever the Lord says, you do it. Listen to His instructions then obey.
