“I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.” (Matthew 17:20, NLT)
God says, ‘If you believe, you can move mountains.’ There are mountains in your life: broken marriages; sickness; financial problems; depression: In the Name of Jesus mountains move! Cry out: I know that You can work a miracle in my life today!
Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’” So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), “that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” (Exodus 4:1-5, NKJV)
The evidence of God is in His power: when God worked the miracle with Moses’ rod, turning it into a snake, it was because Moses said, ‘They will not believe.’ Many people say, ‘I don’t know if there is a God, how can I believe?’ But when God works miracles, the miracles are the evidence! To Moses, the first miracle was the burning tree, then the stick which became a snake. When I preach the Gospel, people are not going to see a burning tree or snake, but every time God will confirm His Word with miracles of healing - broken bones, blind eyes, cripples healed - they will see God through the miracles He works!
And the disciples went everywhere and preached, and the Lord worked through them, confirming what they said by many miraculous signs. (Mark 16:20, NLT)
In 1998, I was in a town in Siberia called Magnitogorsk, preaching in a packed auditorium. I called the people to repent, then I called the sick to come forward for prayer. One 43-year-old man came. As a boy of 17, he broke his back, not once, but twice. This man was crippled for life, the doctors couldn’t heal him, he was certified as an invalid of the first category, he had a state pension and could never work. In the beginning he was bedridden. Now he had learnt to walk with crutches, but for 15-20 days every month he was still totally bedridden. For 26 years the pain never left him. Now he came forward - and this same Jesus of the Bible, the Jesus who I preach, the Jesus I believe in - was waiting to heal him. I looked at this 43-year-old crippled man and put my hand on him, ‘I believe God is good, the devil is bad - broken backs don’t come from God - the Bible says: ‘For this purpose was the Son of God revealed, to destroy the works of the devil!’ (1 John 3:8). Be healed in Jesus’ Name!’
I like people to demonstrate their healing, so I asked him to bend down. He refused. Later, in his own words, he said, ‘I don’t know what happened, it must have been the Holy Spirit - but suddenly I found myself going over backwards in a bridge until my hands touched the ground! I had never done this before!’ That’s how great that miracle was!
The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (John 10:10, NKJV)
The next night he came to tell everybody what God had done. There were some Satanists present and this man called them forward. ‘You believe the devil, feel this big lump on my back - that’s what your master the devil did to me 26 years ago!’ Then suddenly he threw himself backwards, demonstrating his healing, then turned to the Satanists, ‘That’s what my Master Jesus did!’ Those Satanists repented because they saw the power of God! That’s right! God loves the sinners. Jesus said, ‘I didn’t come to call the good, the righteous, the religious,’ but to call the Satanists, the Neo-Nazis, drug addicts, alcoholics…
Eighteen months later we were back in the same town, Vladimir was the first to greet me. In that time he had brought many people to faith in Christ through his testimony!
I want to pray for you:
Father, I want to thank You for the miracle You did in healing that man’s back. I believe You are a God of power, of authority and of miracles. Every miracle reveals Your majesty, it demonstrates who You are. I believe You have power on earth to change men and women. O God, send Your Holy Spirit, change these people’s lives. I want their lives to be changed right now! Take away the sin, fear and guilt. Heal their bodies. Show them Your love, in Jesus Name, Amen.
