Everything the Apostles did was for the Glory of GOD. Yes, that includes miracles and the likes! When we as the modern Christians talk and pray, we do so form the stand point as if all things where possible to us who believe. What am I saying? We pray about all of the things we want to occur such as our wealth, health in spite of our lifestyles and we do pray for the sick and hurting. The intent of many of the modern prayers is blessing and wealth orientated. They are positional prayed from a Kings Kid point of view, which means that we believe that Heavens blessing are some of the Fringe benefits that should occur here on earth. We proclaim that all of the powers of Christ and the Apostles exhibited are at work in our life’s today; now call me a skeptic but those who are making the proclamations are not raising the dead, healing the sick and dividing one fish into portions that feed thousands. Yet they claim the power is there if only we have the faith, are we all that faithless that we see none of these things are manifesting? I don’t believe we have a faith issue, we do have some poor rendering of God’s word though. Here is the secret of miracles and moving mountains; well we where still sinners Christ loved us and died for us. Wait there is more; he wants us to proclaim this, wow. You know what else; he wants His love proclaimed to the world through you and me. He does want us to pray and intercede for people; He does want His children to feed the hungry to love the unlovely. The miracle is He wants to use the church for this. He wants to use the power of His love versus mighty acts and wonders. We need to be a generous people whose churches store rooms and money is full and fully being used to share GOD’s generosity with those whom he calls us to proclaim His love and mercy to. Finally brethren, this is all for His glory. I want to proclaim His love for others; that needs to be all of our hearts. You have seen all of the miracles you need to see and that is He loves you.
(Rom 5:8-11 NKJV)
8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
