Daily Bread – September 6, 2023 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Acts 4:30 – By stretching out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the Name of Your holy child Jesus. The Miraculous Realm Of The Inspirations Of God Although we have been given power and authority to do the works of Jesus, it is still by the sovereign power of the Father that signs and wonders take place. Father stretches out His hand and touches humanity on behalf of His people who ask in the Name of Jesus, and who both preach and pray in His mighty Name (John 14:13, 15:16, 16:23,26-27). Just because we have been honored by God to receive these special gifts of grace to function in signs, wonders, and miracles does not mean we are to think that we can operate them on our own and at our own pleasure. These gifts are the manifestation of the Holy Spirit operating in and through our lives, and He gives them according to His own will (1 Corinthians 12:7,11). Jesus did not operate independently of the Father and the Holy Spirit, so how could we think we can operate in the gifts of God on their own? There is a relationship we can have that would allow us to come under the inspirations of God, and move and function by His direction. The Holy Spirit supplies to us the gift of faith to move in miracles and gifts of healing as we yield to Him. God causes us to hear faith, so we might work miracles by the direct operation of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:28; Galatians 3:5). Blessings, Pastor Mark Spitsbergen
