The miracles performed by Jesus Christ serve as powerful demonstrations of His divinity and authority. They reveal His compassion for the suffering and His ability to overcome the impossible. In this Bible lesson, we will explore some of the remarkable miracles performed by Jesus, seeking to understand their significance and learn how we can walk in the Miraculous in our own lives.

Walking in the Miraculous: “Miracles performed by Jesus Christ.”

I. The Miraculous Power of Healing

– Bible Verse: Matthew 4:23

“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.”

In this miraculous act, Jesus demonstrated His authority over sickness and disease. He moved from place to place, healing all kinds of ailments and infirmities among the people. His healing touch brought physical restoration and renewed hope to those who were suffering.

A. Jesus Healing the sick

– Bible Verse: Matthew 9:35

“Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.”

In this miraculous act, Jesus demonstrated His authority over sickness and disease. He moved from place to place, healing all kinds of ailments and infirmities among the people. His healing touch brought physical restoration and renewed hope to those who were suffering.

B. Jesus Healing the paralyzed.

– Bible Verse: Matthew 9:2-7

“Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said to the paralytic, ‘Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.’… ‘Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house.’ And he arose and departed for his house.”

One of the remarkable miracles performed by Jesus was the healing of a paralytic man. When Jesus saw the faith of those who brought the paralyzed man to Him, He not only forgave the man’s sins but also commanded him to rise, take up his bed, and go home. Through this miracle, Jesus displayed His power to bring healing and restoration to the broken and disabled.

II. The Miraculous Power over Nature.

– Bible Verse: Matthew 8:26-27

“But He said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?’ Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, ‘Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?'”

A. Jesus Calming the storm.

– Bible Verse: Mark 4:39

“Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.”

During a tempestuous boat ride with His disciples, Jesus displayed His authority over nature by rebuking the wind and the sea. With a commanding voice, He brought about a great calm, leaving His disciples in awe of His power and causing them to marvel at the One who could control the elements themselves.

B. Jesus Multiplying the loaves and fish.

– Bible Verse: Matthew 14:19-21

“Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.”

In this extraordinary miracle, Jesus took a meager offering of five loaves of bread and two fish and multiplied them to feed a multitude of people. With gratitude and a blessing, He distributed the food to the hungry crowd, and not only were they all fed, but there were also leftovers. This miracle showcased Jesus’ ability to provide abundantly from scarce resources and revealed His divine provision.

III. The Miraculous Power over Death

– Bible Verse: John 11:43-44

“Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!’ And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go.'”

A. Jesus Raising Lazarus from the dead.

– Bible Verse: John 11:41-42

“Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.'”

Perhaps one of the most awe-inspiring miracles performed by Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus. Despite being in the tomb for four days, Jesus called Lazarus forth with a loud voice,

and Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in graveclothes. This miracle not only displayed Jesus’ authority over death but also foreshadowed His own impending resurrection and offered a glimpse of the eternal life He offers to all who believe.

B. Jesus Resurrecting the widow’s son.

– Bible Verse: Luke 7:14-15

“Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, ‘Young man, I say to you, arise.’ So he who was dead sat up and began to speak. And He presented him to his mother.”

When Jesus encountered a funeral procession for a widow’s only son, He was moved with compassion. He approached the open coffin, touched it, and commanded the young man to arise. Instantly, the dead man sat up and began to speak. This miraculous event not only brought great joy to the grieving mother but also testified to Jesus’ power over death and His ability to restore life.

Walking in the Miraculous: “Miracles performed by Jesus Christ.”

The miracles performed by Jesus Christ were not mere displays of power, but rather acts of love, compassion, and divine authority. They showcased His identity as the Son of God and brought hope and healing to countless individuals. As believers, we can draw inspiration from these miracles and strive to walk in the miraculous in our own lives.

By placing our faith in Jesus, we can experience His transformative power, witnessing healing, restoration, and victory over seemingly impossible circumstances. Let us, therefore, embrace the miracles of Jesus Christ and confidently step into a life marked by the miraculous. Walking in the Miraculous: “Miracles performed by Jesus Christ.”

Questions and Answers:

1. What is the key to unlocking God’s healing power?

We can trust that even in times of sickness and suffering, God is with us and is using our experiences for His glory. We should continue to have faith, pray, seek medical help, and surrender to God’s will, knowing that He is in control and has a plan for our lives.

God’s Power to Heal

God's Power to Heal

God’s Power to Heal: The Source of Miracles by Bishop Edward Brink.

Throughout history, people have sought healing for their physical and emotional ailments. From ancient times, people have turned to faith in a higher power for guidance and healing. The Bible provides numerous accounts of people experiencing miraculous healings through faith in God. Today, many people continue to believe in the power of God to heal. So, what does the Bible teach us about God’s power to heal, and how can we tap into this power?

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus performed many healings during His ministry on Earth. In Matthew 9:20-22, we read about a woman who had been bleeding for twelve years. She believed that if she could just touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be healed. And indeed, “Jesus turned and saw her. ‘Take heart, daughter,’ he said, ‘your faith has healed you.’ And the woman was healed at that moment.” This story illustrates the importance of faith in healing. The woman did not ask for Jesus’ permission or even for Him to touch her. She simply believed in His power to heal, and that was enough.

Similarly, in Matthew 8:5-13, we read about a centurion who came to Jesus asking Him to heal his servant. The centurion recognized Jesus’ authority and believed that He could heal from a distance. Jesus was amazed by the centurion’s faith and healed his servant without even visiting him in person. This story shows that God’s power to heal is not limited by physical distance. Just as the centurion had faith in Jesus’ power to heal, we too can have faith in God’s ability to heal us or our loved ones, even if we cannot physically be with them.

One of the most well-known healings in the Bible is that of Lazarus, who had been dead for four days. In John 11:43-44, we read that Jesus “called in a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face.” This miraculous healing demonstrates that God’s power is not limited by death. If He can bring a man back to life, surely, He can heal any physical or emotional ailment we may have.

Of course, not every healing in the Bible was instantaneous or miraculous. In Mark 8:22-25, we read about a blind man whom Jesus healed in two stages. At first, the man could only see blurry shapes, but after Jesus laid His hands on him a second time, the man’s vision was completely restored. This healing shows that God’s healing power can work gradually over time. Sometimes, the healing process requires patience and perseverance, but we can trust that God is working in our lives.

So, how can we tap into God’s power to heal? First and foremost, we must have faith. In Mark 5:34, Jesus tells a woman whom He had healed, “Your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.” Faith is the key to unlocking God’s healing power. We must believe that God can heal us, even if we do not understand how or why. This faith is not blind, but rather based on our trust in God’s goodness and sovereignty.

Secondly, we can ask others to pray for us. James 5:14-15 instructs us to “call the elders of the church to pray over [us] and anoint [us] with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make [us] well.” The power of prayer is not limited by physical distance, and we can ask others to pray for us even if they are not physically present with us. We can also pray for ourselves and for others, asking God to heal us and to guide us through the healing process.

Thirdly, we can seek medical help. While we believe in God’s power to heal, we also recognize that He has given us the gift of medicine and the wisdom of medical professionals. We can seek medical treatment while also praying for God’s healing power to work through the treatment.

Finally, we can surrender to God’s will. Sometimes, despite our prayers and efforts, healing does not come in the way we expect or desire. In these moments, we must remember that God’s plans are higher than ours, and that He is always working for our good. We can trust that even in times of sickness and suffering, God is with us and is using our experiences for His glory.

In conclusion, God’s power to heal is real and accessible to all who believe. The Bible provides numerous examples of people experiencing miraculous healings through their faith in God. We too can tap into this power by having faith, asking others to pray for us, seeking medical help, and surrendering to God’s will. Whether our healing comes instantly or gradually, miraculously or through medical treatment, we can trust that God is with us and is working for our good. As we pray for healing, may we also pray for a deeper faith in God’s power and a greater trust in His plan for our lives.

How to Exercise Authority over the Devil

How to Exercise Authority over the Devil

How to Exercise Authority over the Devil by Bishop Edward Brink.

Introduction:

As Bible Believers, we are engaged in a spiritual battle. The Bible tells us that our enemy, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8). However, we are not powerless against the devil. In fact, as believers in Jesus Christ, we have been given authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). In this Blog Post, we will explore how to take authority over the power of the devil, using Biblical principles and examples.

1. Understanding the Nature of the Enemy.

Before we can take authority over the power of the devil, we need to understand his nature and tactics. The devil is a liar and the father of lies (John 8:44), and he seeks to deceive, tempt, and destroy us. He uses various strategies, such as fear, doubt, temptation, and discouragement, to weaken our faith and hinder our effectiveness for God’s kingdom.

2. Recognizing Our Position in Christ.

As believers in Jesus Christ, we are seated with Him in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6), and we have been given authority over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). We are no longer slaves to sin and fear, but we are free to live a victorious life in Christ. By understanding our position in Christ and the power that we have through Him, we can overcome any attack of the devil.

3. Applying the Armor of God.

The Bible tells us to put on the whole armor of God, so that we can stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). This armor includes the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. By applying these spiritual weapons in our daily lives, we can resist the devil and make him flee (James 4:7).

4. Using the Name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus is powerful and effective against the enemy. Philippians 2:9-10 tells us that God has exalted Jesus and given Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth. By using the name of Jesus in prayer, we can command the devil and his demons to flee from us, and we can declare victory over every attack of the enemy.

5. Standing on the Promises of God.

The Bible is full of promises that we can claim in our battle against the devil. For example, 1 John 4:4 says that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. Romans 8:37 tells us that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. By standing on these promises and declaring them over our lives, we can overcome any obstacle and experience the victory that Jesus has already won for us.

Conclusion:

The devil is a defeated foe, and we have been given authority over all his power. By understanding the nature of the enemy, recognizing our position in Christ, applying the armor of God, using the name of Jesus, and standing on the promises of God, we can live a victorious Christian life and overcome every attack of the enemy. As we walk in faith and obedience to God’s Word, we can see His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven. How to Exercise Authority over the Devil.

Effective Ways to deal with Anger.

Effective Ways to deal with Anger.

Effective Ways to deal with Anger by Bishop Edward Brink.

Anger is a powerful emotion that can consume us and cloud our judgment. It is an intense feeling that often leads to destructive behavior, both for us and those around us. In times of anger, it can be challenging to control our reactions and respond in a calm and rational manner. However, with the right mindset and tools, it is possible to learn how to deal with anger constructively.

One of the most effective ways to deal with anger is through reflection and introspection. It is essential to identify the root cause of our anger and understand why we are feeling the way we do. This process of self-awareness can help us gain perspective and a better understanding of ourselves and our emotions. As the wise King Solomon once said, “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who is quick-tempered exalts folly” (Proverbs 14:29).

Another crucial step in dealing with anger is to take a step back and remove us from the situation that is causing our anger. This allows us to calm down and regain our composure before reacting impulsively. As the Apostle James advised, “Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger” (James 1:19).

Moreover, it is essential to practice forgiveness and let go of any grudges or resentment that may be fueling our anger. This can be a challenging task, but it is necessary for our own emotional well-being. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage, and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:31-32).

Additionally, seeking the counsel of a trusted friend, family member, or mentor can be an effective way to deal with anger. These individuals can offer a different perspective and provide support and guidance during difficult times. As the book of Proverbs notes, “Without counsel, plans fail, but with many advisers, they succeed” (Proverbs 15:22).

Finally, practicing mindfulness and meditation can help us develop the skills necessary to deal with anger effectively. These practices encourage us to be present in the moment and focus on our thoughts and emotions without judgment. As the Apostle Paul wrote, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7).

In conclusion, dealing with anger is a challenging task, but it is possible with the right mindset and tools. By practicing self-awareness, forgiveness, seeking counsel, and mindfulness, we can learn to control our anger constructively. As we continue to navigate life’s challenges, let us remember the words of the Apostle James, “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry” (James 1:19).
