UPDATE ON WINNERHOME FOR TODDLERS(español below)
Matthew 13:58 And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
If you don’t believe in miracles you don’t believe in the God of the Bible. If you don’t believe in miracles you’ll never see one. If you believe in miracles you’ll do what God asks you to do without knowing why or what for. You’ll obey Him just because you believe in Him, nothing more, and you will see miracles all over the place.
Miracles will happen in your life when you hear from God, and then act on it. It’s not about just doing or acting on something (anything) but acting on what the Lord shows you to do. Part of acting on things has to do with what you say and how you talk. When you say it (confess it) you are putting yourself out on a limb, because you are totally convinced, fully persuaded, and GOD LOVES THAT. I remember a young man. He was 13, and he told a bunch of us varsity wrestlers that he was going to be the state champ of his weight class. He was a jewish guy, last name of Cale, from Beachwood Ohio. We all laughed at him, we knew better. Well, 5 years later he was a state champ. He didn’t balk when he told us as a kid that he was going to do it. We mocked him but I wasn’t suprised when he made it. Being a state champ and a dollar, when you’re 60, will get you a cup of coffee. But it taught me once and for all the power of belief, and acting on it, even without God. WITH GOD IT IS ALL POWERFUL!
For God to perform a miracle in your life, you have to be able to hear from God. If you don’t believe in hearing from God you won’t hear from God and you won’t be able to pray by faith to receive the miracle you need. You also won’t hear from God if you don’t want to hear from God, or are unwilling to do what He says. Like wise, if you act on something that God hasn’t shown you to do, you are acting alone. Just because you say it doesn’t mean you believe it. Just because you act on something doesn’t mean that God is behind it.
God will never ask you to do something that is not in line with the Bible. God will never ask you to do something that He has never said. God never said for example ‘if you want to see my power (miracles), you have to beg me long and hard.’
What He DID say was;
John 15:4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.
Abiding is 24/7, just not going going to church now and then. Let God consume your life and He will show you what to do. When you hear from God you will have faith enough to act on it. Abiding in God means obeying God. To do that you have to believe in Him and confess Him to others.
You can only pray in faith and expect results IF God has showed you to pray that way, and or to do something. Only then can you expect a miracle. God has impressed upon me sometimes to pray for a solution to a problem or a physical healing for someone. Usually at an inconvenient time or place He shows me to do this, but I have seen God miraculously fix things, or heal people, even myself at times. When I pray on my own, nothing happens. Same with financial or other types of miracles. Some things God has said in His Word, which is the same as Him impresing upon my spirit to pray. For my kids for example, I just remind God that they;re my seed, He’ll bless them. To get by in ministry I remind God that He said He will provide all I need. We have never missed a payroll, bill or meal since we have been on the mission field. (btw NEEDS ARE NOT WANTS). God showed us to be here in Managua, so He provides. He showed us to take care of these beautiful PureHeart kids, so He miraculously provides. We love Him, so we obey Him, and abide in Him. He does the rest.
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
3 steps in seeing miracles
1. Hear from God, abiding in Him is the only way to do so!
2. Do exactly what God impressed on you to do, with unwaivering faith.
3. God does all the work, let Him!

Milagros (español abajo)
.◄ Mateo 13:58 ► Y no hizo muchos milagros allí debido a su falta de fe.
Si no crees en los milagros, no crees en el Dios de la Biblia Si no crees en milagros, nunca verás uno
Si crees en los milagros, harás lo que Dios te pida que hagas sin saber por porque ni para qué. Vas a obedecerlo solo porque le crees, nada más. Si crees, verás milagros por todas los partes. Los milagros sucederán en tu vida cuando escuches de Dios y luego actúes en consecuencia. No se trata solo de hacer o actuar sobre algo (cualquier cosa) sino de actuar sobre lo que el Señor te muestra que hagas.
El problema es que si no crees que no puedes escuchar de Dios, no escucharás de Dios y no podrás orar por fe para recibir el milagro que necesitas. No escucharás de Dios si no quieres saber de Dios. Si actúas sobre algo que Dios no te ha demostrado que hagas, estás actuando solo. Dios nunca dijo ‘si quieres ver mi poder (milagros), tienes que tranajar duro y rogarme por mucho tiempo. Lo que sí dijo es;
JUAN 15: 4 “Permaneced en Mí y yo en vosotros. Como la rama no puede dar fruto por sí misma a menos que permanezca en la vid, tampoco ustedes pueden a menos que permanezcan en Mí.
Permanecer en Dios es 24/7, simplemente no ir a la iglesia de vez en cuando. Deje que Dios consuma tu vida y Él te mostrará qué hacer. Cuando escuches de Dios tendrás la fe suficiente para actuar. Permanacer en Dios quiere decir obedecer a Dios.
Solo puedes orar con fe y esperar resultados SI Dios te ha mostrado que ores de esa manera, o que hagas algo. Solo en este entonces puedes esperar un milagro. Dios me ha impresionado orar por una cura física para alguien. Por lo general, en un momento o lugar inconveniente, y a veces he visto a Dios curar a personas e incluso a mí mismo. Cuando oro por mi solo, no pasa nada. Lo mismo con los milagros financieros o de otro tipos de milagros. Algunas cosas que Dios ha dicho en Su Palabra, que es lo mismo que Él insistiendo en mi espíritu para orar. Para mis hijos, solo le recuerdo a Dios que ellos son mi semilla, Él los bendecirá. Para sobrevivir en el ministerio, le recuerdo a Dios que Él dijo que Él proporcionará todo lo que necesito. Nunca nos hemos perdido una dia de pago, factura o comida desde que hemos estado en el campo misionero. Dios nos mostró que necesitamos estar aquí. Estamos siendo obedientes, entonces Él proveé. Nos mostró que cuidamos a los niños, y Él proveé para ellos tambièn.
JUAN 14:23 Respondió Jesús y le dijo: Si un hombre me ama, guardará mis palabras: y mi Padre lo amará, y nosotros iremos a él y nos moraremos con él.
3 pasos para ver milagros 1. escuchar de Dios, permanecer 2. haz lo que Dios dijo 3. Dios hace todo el trabajo
