Why don’t we see more miracles?
I want to cry.
All the cancer.
All the issues with our children.
All the hate.
All the racism.
All the discrimination.
All the fear.
All the gossip.
All the anger.
All the unforgiveness.
All the violence.
All the divorce.
All the evil.
All in the church.
Why do we have these problems?
Is God’s are too short that He can’t reach us? That He can’t save us!?
NO. NO. ABSOLUTELY NOT.
The problem is our faith.
Our lack of faith.
We pray.
But for how long?
We believe the promises of the bible.
But for how long?
Do we only believe when things are going well?
Do we only believe when we see progress?
Do we only believe in Sunday morning?
What about the other six days of the week?
We believe on Christmas and Easter.
What about the other 363 days of the year?
How do you limit a limitless God?
You fail to recognize His all-consuming power.
And that power is available to YOU.
The scripture says Jesus could NOT WORK MIGHTY MIRACLES only on one place.
His hometown.
Everywhere else he healed people.
He cast out demons.
He raised people from the dead.
But in his hometown he was restricted.
Why?
Because of their unbelief.
They were too familiar with Jesus.
They’d spent so much time with him they couldn’t see him for who he really was.
They were laws to him being around.
And he had been around for so long and they never saw him work miracles before.
I can hear them now saying:
“So why would he start doing miraculous things now?”
“Why should we believe the Jesus we’ve heard about all these years can do the impossible?”
“He had never done miracles before.”
“Certainly what we’ve heard about him isn’t really true.”
“We know the real Jesus.”
“A good man. But not a miracle worker.”
“These are fables. They’re myths. They’re great stories. But we know Jesus. He can’t really do that stuff.”
And it’s not just them who said that.
We say that TODAY.
Church folk.
We say we believe.
But do we really?
Do we stick our necks out to proclaim someone’s healing? Do we pray without quitting?
Jesus could not do mighty works only among people who were familiar with him before he started doing mighty works.
Let not that be said about us.
We believe Lord.
We trust you Lord.
We need you Lord.
We cry out to you Lord.
We thirst for you Lord.
Come Lord.
Save us!!!
Heal us!
Deliver us!
Restore us!
The church of Jesus Christ believes in Jesus Christ.
The bride of Christ cries, “Come!”
The bride of Christ desires the presence of Christ.
If you can’t believe your spouse, nothing they claim they can do will resonate with you.
Hey make promises to help you heal from the past.
But you can’t believe it.
They make promises to change things.
But you want proof.
They say they’ll never let it happen again.
But you think that’s just who they are.
You won’t give them a chance.
Often this lack of faith is connected to hurt and disappointment.
Don’t let your past disappointments cause you to give up on Jesus.
He can do anything!
He will do what he says he will do.
Just believe.
God bless you.

Text: Mark 6:4-6
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
