God Works Miracles

Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (John 2:5)

You Must Do Your Part!

Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (John 2:5)

Jesus turned water into wine. It was the beginning of His miracles. But there had to be an association – a cooperation – Christ with people. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. God wants you to cooperate with Him – be obedient to do what He tells you to do, and then you will see miracles take place.

When the preacher says, “Rise up and walk!” – get up and start walking and you’ll have your miracle.

We’re the Church. But we’ve been sitting back saying, “Well I’m just waiting on the Lord. When the Lord gets ready to hand out a miracle, I’m going to receive it.”

With that attitude, you’re going to die waiting. You’re not waiting on God. God’s waiting on you.

I was preaching in Philadelphia one year where six people in wheelchairs were lined up in the front row – just listening to my sermon. They hadn’t walked in a dozen years or so, and while I was preaching, God began to work miracles. I didn’t even lay hands on those people and pray for them. He beat me to it. Five of them got up and started running. I wasn’t concerned about those five, I was after the one still in his wheelchair.

I ran down to him, and I said, “Get up!” He said, “I can’t walk.” I said, “No kidding. Now get up in the name of Jesus!”

“Oh,” he said, “the doctors said I’d never walk again.” Here five men sitting next to him got up out of their wheelchairs and he’s still sitting in his. I wanted him to get up. I reached down and yanked him out of the thing. I said again, “Get out of it!” He stood up and said, “Whoo, I haven’t done this in years.”

I’m a man – men can’t perform miracles. God performs miracles, but He is looking for human responsibility, blended with this Word, to produce miracle power. Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
