Miracles

Who does God use? Anyone He wants to. Why? Because, He’s God. The Word is full of people who lived less that perfect lives and committed outright sin and God used them mightily. I guess one needs to ask the question, what sin is greater? Is a sexual sin worse than murder? What about lying vs. stealing? Backbiting vs. gossiping? Who is without sin let him cast the first stone.
Miracles can also be a benefit to the person whom God chooses to use to bring them closer to Him? God desires that all His creation be saved. Will that happen? Sadly no. I read the end of the book.

To answer the questions you posed:
1. YES, Like, I stated above, God uses whom He wills. One only has to look at the genealogy of Jesus to see that.

2. NO, That’s what made them Miracles.

3. Depends, on what your definition of a miracle is. Signs and wonders (miracles) abound in today’s churches, but the church hasn’t been able to discern what is what. In some churches anything goes. I believe we need to stay to a scriptural definition.

The disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus on behalf of John and ask Jesus if He was the One or should they look for another? Now listen to what Jesus told them. He said go tell John the things that you have seen and heard; how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleaned, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.
I call this the three things, the devil cannot or won’t do. The devil cannot do a creative miracle and heal the sick, the devil cannot give life, and he definitely won’t preach the (GOOD NEWS) gospel.

These are the signs, the true miracles that should be seen in the church today. And Jesus stated that Greater miracles than these would be coming through the Holy Spirit, because He went to his Father. In Mark’s Gospel it says, that these signs shall follow them that believe…

I believe in all 16 Fundamental Truths of the Assemblies of God, but that will not get me into heaven. Just believing is not enough. Faith without works is dead. If your waiting to become perfect before you start living for God in the manner He desires, your going to miss it. You have to start, where your at right now. Study the Word with other believers, to do and understand, not just to fulfill an obligation. Pray, to truly communicate, with the Creator. Asking for direction and help in practicing what you just read. That is what committing your life to God is about. You will see miracles, but they will be at your hands through the power of the Holy Spirit.
