In this short study, we are
discussing about the faith that is required for performing a miracle or sign
for the Glory of the Kingdom of God.
What is the purpose of miracles?
Let me start the
message with a question: what is a miracle and why should we need a miracle?
A miracle is
an unusual happening that is beyond the capacity of humans.
If a sick
person is healed with the help of medicine that is God’s provision, not a
miracle.
It is not bad
to use medicine; it is God’s provision for us in this world.
Prayer may
support the healing by medicine.
But, if a
person is healed by prayer, without medicine or when medicine fails, it is a
miracle.
So miracle is
an unusual and unnatural happening beyond God’s daily provision.
Miracles are
happenings where a supernatural intervention is detected.
Miracle
happens where humans fail; miracles are done by God, not by human beings.
