How to Experience Miracles In and Through Your Life

Acts 2:17-21
Acts 1:8
John 14:11-14

In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.(the anointing) In those days I will pour out my Spirit on those who are serving me

But YOU will receive power (the anointing) when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.  I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.  And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father.  You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it

Joel 2
Acts 2

Jesus passed on this part of His ministry to the Church through the Holy Spirit

And it’s called the “Gift of Miracles.”

This Gift is so important to flow through the Church for the next move of God.

I love teaching on this because I’ve seen countless miracles and I want you to know how to receive and release them.

We might be secure –  Show us His ability

• Activate  Your Ministry

John 15:15-17 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.

Luke 9:1-2

1 John 3:8 The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work

Matt 17:19-20 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?” He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

1 Peter 5:8-9

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour Resist him, standing firm in the faith,
