You and I are living in the time of the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit! The spiritual atmosphere around the globe is charged with God’s mighty power. These are days of fulfilled prophecy. Joel 2:23 says, “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in The LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.” Say, “I believe I receive!”
While in South Africa last August, The LORD spoke to me as I was preparing to preach. He said, I want My church back! I want signs, wonders and miracles reintroduced into My church. I want My healing and miracle ministry back in My church in full force.
The move of God in our church began even before I returned home from that trip. The glory has steadily increased ever since. According to that word from South Africa, this glory includes His healing and miracle ministry.
Then, in January, another very significant thing happened that challenged me to dig deeper, believe bigger and stretch my faith further than ever.
At this year’s KCM Ministers’ Conference, Dr. Mark Barclay concluded his message with an outstanding testimony about his 10-year-old granddaughter who drowned in a pool last year—and then was raised from the dead! The responding paramedic was about to declare her DOA (dead on arrival), when Dr. Barclay’s son-in-law, the little girl’s father, stood over her and screamed:
NO, SATAN! YOU CANNOT HAVE MY BABY! WE ARE TITHERS! GOD WILL REBUKE YOU TODAY!
Suddenly, the little girl’s lifeless body sprang up from off the pool deck—ALIVE! The paramedics transported her to the hospital for observation. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Dr. Barclay’s granddaughter walked from the vehicle and into the building without assistance. The doctors asked if she was hurt in any way.
She said, “No, I’m just like Jesus. I’ve been raised from the dead!”
PRAISE GOD! When I heard that testimony, my spirit man stood straight up—and then my body followed. What I had just heard lit a fire in me for the miraculous that has increased more and more.
At the same moment during the meeting, Gloria Copeland stepped up to the platform and boldly declared:
“When Dr. Barclay was giving that testimony, I thought, That was an out and out miracle! Then I thought, We don’t see enough of those. We get results. People get healed when we pray. But, what about the out and out miracles like that? Then, I got this: Manifestation of miracles. Pray for the manifestation of miracles. We must tell our congregations to pray for the manifestation of miracles. There are not enough miracles in manifestation. We must all take this and go home talking and believing for the manifestation of miracles. Make big of it. Get your congregation involved in the manifestation of miracles.”
On Sunday, April 12, our congregation prayed for the manifestation of miracles: “LORD, grant us more miracles. We give ourselves to the working of miracles. Thank You for the privilege of doing miracles in Your Name!”
Let’s expect the manifestation of miracles every time we get together. Let’s make much of miracles. Let’s talk about miracles. Let’s pray about miracles. Let’s believe for miracles. And then, let’s demonstrate miracles! Let’s stand on our covenant of miracles with Almighty God, according to Exodus 34:10 (New Living Translation): “I am making a covenant with you in the presence of all your people. I will perform miracles that have never been performed anywhere in all the earth or in any nation. And all the people around you will see the power of The LORD—the awesome power I will display for you.”
Making much of miracles,
Pastor George
