The God of Miracles—Yesterday, Today & Forever

If you are to receive miracles that come from God in your life, & community, you must wrestle with and answer this question with passion and with a heart-felt response, “How can miracles from God become ‘regular events’ in my life, my family, and my community?”

I lost a set of keys to one of my trucks last month. This is very rare for me and I solicited help from my wife. We both traced my steps over the next two days, looked in all the drawers, went through my clothes, checked underthings, and scoured the outside—lawn and carport. Still no sign of the keys. In fact, we checked all these places three times—absolutely no sign of the keys.

A week later, as I was cleaning up a work project at the ranch, putting away tools and unused wood, I was entering the garage for the sixth time and said again in my head, a simple thought to God—’I would like God’s help in finding my keys’. Suddenly, God speaks to me, “Say your request out loud.” As I turned around in the garage, I said to God softly but with a requesting voice, “God, give my keys back to me.” I went back out of the garage to pick up another tool and returned to the garage in order to place it in my toolbox. As I opened one of the middle drawers, there I saw my keys to my truck. They were dirty, in full view, and as if dropped into the drawer. I immediately thanked God and was grateful and humbled.

I have had similar miracles over the years and God has been faithful to grant my requests—not all of them but many. Looking for miracles daily is the first step in receiving a miracle. Being grateful and gracious to God is step number two. Step three is always being humble, i.e., miracles do not come simply by faith or because you consider yourself worthy to receive them. Miracles are kisses from God. If we would learn to ‘kiss the Son of God, kiss Jesus Christ on the face’ miracles would become commonplace and would help one to believe in Jesus more.

This is why God sends miracles, so we would believe more and more in Jesus, His Son. The Gift of Miracles I do not express that I have, but my love for Jesus grows after each and every miracle I experience. One needs to tell God often, “God, if you do not do miracles then people will not believe in you. Your miracles help us to believe in you—people need your miracles to believe.”

Let’s become the people of God through the miracles that Jesus does among us.
