Why Miracles Happen?
Lesson Five: by turtle

Mark 3:8-15 KJV
(8)  And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre
and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
(9)  And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the
multitude, lest they should throng him.
(10)  For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many
as had plagues.
(11)  And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art
the Son of God.
(12)  And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
(13)  And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came
unto him.
(14)  And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth
to preach,
(15)  And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

No matter where Jesus went He grew a crowd. I be honest I been doing a lot of thinking on
this. Bible clearly states when people just touched Him they were healed. It was instant,
miraculous. The purpose was to draw everyone to Him that would believe. Today we have
charlatans trying to imitate the work of Jesus. They flash money to draw a crowd. They do
nothing more then a parlor trick or a psychological event. Real miracles take place then we
know God is doing the work and not a charlatan. Complete physical healing will take place in
heaven, so if we claim are healing we must understand that our healing might not take place
tell after death. Healing in the Biblical sense always drew men and women to God, to Jesus.

Jesus today still instructs His followers(Christians) to lay hands on people and pray for their
healing. The church today knows God heals, but it is always His timing and His way.

James 5:13-16 KJV
(13)  Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
(14)  Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over
him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
(15)  And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have
committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
(16)  Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The
effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

We must pray in faith and also get rid of any sin in our life when we seek healing. We are to
call on the elders of the church to pray for us. Very simple instructions to the church world.
And the promise of effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much

When Christ walk the earth many were healed in His presence. Many just reach out and
touched Him. He sent out the twelve because there were so many needing healing. Today
Christ still send us out to pray for people. Followers still do not do the healing only God can
do the healing, He may use someone to pray for someone, but He still does the actual work in
a person. The gift of healing is so people will know who God is and will glorify God. Man can
not take the glory for what God does. Jesus was God and healed many. Scripture is clear who
Jesus is.
