Why Miracles Happen?

Lesson 23: by turtle
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.
(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.
