Why Miracles Happen?

The Grand Finale of Why Miracles Happen?

As a reminder I usually take a week off between lessons. As I look at the close of the book of
Mark I am amazed how much information there has been even in the shortest Gospel and we
did not cover everything in it. One thing we must understand Miracles really do happen, but
often we can find the allegory or life lessons in them, for after all they are apart of life. Lets
examine the last few verse of Mark 16.

Mark 16:15-20 KJV
(15)  And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
(16)  He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
(17)  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues;
(18)  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
(19)  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on
the right hand of God.
(20)  And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Jesus gave instruction to the disciple before in ascendant into heaven. One thing that he told
them was to go and preach to all nations. The simple fact is that to preach does not mean
people will accept the word of God. Nor does it mean they will not. Our job is just to share it.
And truth be known it is not a job, but part of being the family of God. See God loves each and
everyone of us and as we become more of the family we have that desire to share the gospel of
Jesus. When we go Christ promises us we do not have to be ashamed. He will not leave us
helpless. We will go out and pick up snakes, do miracles and see many signs and wonders. Yet
some take these as being a test of those that follow Jesus. The truth of the matter, even Moses
had competition in the land of Egypt. Signs and miracles follow Satan as well, for a deception,
but a true miracle do happen. And when you are a part of a true miracle you can not shut your
mouth up about it, no matter who tries to stand in your way.

People did not want me to speak. But the freedom of speech is still in our great land of
America. We have a job as Christians to exercise our freedom and to protect other freedoms as
well. Yet as a Christian sin is still sin no matter what the world says. Each Christian must make
a decision to stand on the Word of God or not. God is good to those that will step out boldly,
but it does not mean we will not be poor, or wealthy, or even free from health problems. For see
we are all human and God does miracles and healing for a reason.

I seem to finally have come two fold in my life and ready to run the race that God has called me
too.
