So you think it will take a miracle for you to fully recovery from your sexual brokenness? OK … guess it is a good think that Jesus is in the miracle business!!!

I have written a lot about God the Father and His love for us. We just finished studying God the Spirit and how he ministers in and through us. So I thought we should give Jesus some focus time as well. I am going to pick miracles that Jesus did while on the earth and perhaps we can learn more about experiencing His miraculous work in our lives.

Ok … I saw you roll your eyes and I know you are thinking – “Yeah … right … like Jesus is going to do a miracle in my life. I am too insignificant to be able to experience a miracle from God.” And that may be true … you are pretty insignificant – for a narcissist. The universe really does not revolve around you and everything is not always about you. But stay with me …

So what would it take for you to believe that God wants to do a miraculous healing in you? I could tell you about what He has done in me and other men I know … but you would shrug that off in your feelings of pity and low self esteem and believe that you are not worthy. If I could prove to you that you are worthy … as worthy as anyone … perhaps you would then believe.

So let’s create a Miracle Scale … on one end we have the healing of Aunt Bertha’s bunion. Someone laid fingers on her bunion (shudder the thought) and it was healed. I am going to call that a miracle … but a small miracle – wasn’t that big of a bunion. On the other end of the scale would be the resurrection of Jesus – dead in the grave for 3 days and full recovery to a glorified form with angels present. Big time miracle. So that is the scale … got it?

So where on that scale of 1 – 100 does your miracle fall? You say; “What miracle … I haven’t had any miracle … I even still have a bunion. I have prayed for healing a thousand times and no miracle … still struggling and failing.” However, that is where you are wrong. God has done at least one and actually many miracles in your life already. Big miracles … huge miracles … probably somewhere around 95 – 97 on the 1-100 scale. I like to call them A+ miracles.

Look – you used to be dead in sin and an enemy of God’s. You used to follow the god of this age and were a slave to your sinful desires. You were spiritually DEAD … but God, because of His great love for you … made you alive in Christ. You have been resurrected. Once dead – and now alive – that is a big time miracle. It is a forever miracle … you will go to heaven when you die and live with God forever. That’s one. Here are some others …

· God’s Spirit dwells inside of you. Big miracle – 1/3 of the Godhead in you!

· All you sins forgiven – let’s say that’s 3 a day for 75 years – (and I know you are an overachiever in this area) that would be 82,125 sins – payment made … you are forgiven – Big Miracle!

· God has given you the gift of eternal life. Big and never ending miracle!

So that is 4 miracles God has already done for you. In light of that … do you think he can miraculously heal you from sexual brokenness? I am thinking … yes that is possible. The real question are you thinking the same thing? Tomorrow we start looking at our Miraculous Jesus in action!
