Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
—John 14:12

Do you believe in miracles today? According to the dictionary, a miracle is "a marvelous event manifesting a supernatural act of God ... an occurrence at once above nature and above man." It's an event that can't be explained as an act of man. It's so amazing that God must be behind it.

From the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection, the Bible constantly reminds us of the validity of miracles. However, some people argue that signs, wonders, and miracles have ceased. Not so! The days of miracles are far from over. God is still very much in the miracle-working business!

Expectancy is the breeding ground for miracles. Jesus said that you and I have been chosen to perform even greater works than He did. It is through our hands that Jesus will heal the sick, raise the dead, and restore the broken today. Miracles happen all around us and in any situation. In my travels, I am blessed to meet and minister to people from all cultures and faiths. I've seen terminal diseases disappear from patients in an instant, barren women conceive children, and bound men and women set free by the power of God.

And we all experience personal miracles every day that are no less significant. Do you realize that you're a walking, talking miracle. Your body is made of millions of cells, each crafted for a purpose. The body repairs itself, replenishes itself, compensates for missing elements, and eliminates what it does not require. Consider your spirit, the awesome restorative power that God has given you to overcome and bounce back from heartache, failure, and loss. Think about all that God has brought you through.

What about your faith? You move mountains based on your trust in God. That job you said you would get; you got it. That breakthrough you were waiting for; it came. Those miracles happened because you knew God would connect with your faith.

I've watched single mothers provide for their families with little income. And I've witnessed people receiving Jesus Christ as their Savior and having their lives totally transformed. Miracles are happening all the time. We just need to open our eyes.

You should rejoice in the knowledge that you not only are a miracle, but you also are destined to create them. No matter what we see happening around us, we should find peace in the knowledge that miracles blossom in faith. Yield yourself to God and be a conduit for His power. Do that, and something miraculous will happen!
