The Holy Spirit this morning spoke to me in my communion time with Him about having the determination of heart and soul that says I will be a carrier of the notable miracles of God for people to see and thus turn to God. “It is one thing to believe what God can do but to manifest who God is in action is the place the Holy Spirit wants us to walk in on a daily basis.” “The Holy Spirit wants us to be able to say what God wants and go right ahead and prove what God said for all to see.”Ephesians.2:7.

Let us look at some examples of this principle at work. In Luke.8:52-56 we read these words: Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping.” 53 And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” 55 Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. 56 And her parents were astonished, but He charged them to tell no one what had happened.

In this situation of death Jesus goes on to say what God’s true picture of it is: which is that she is only sleeping. We humans view death differently as the final end of life. It is amazing to see how they turn from mourning to actually scorning Jesus with ridicule at his absurd conclusion. Jesus in turn just throws them out and goes on to prove His point emphatically by raising her up which proves His point that she was only sleeping. Then Jesus says to the parents just tell no one. 

The funeral they were mourning concerning the girl doesn’t happen because no grave needs to be dug as the girl is now outside playing after Jesus says to the parents tell no one. The proof was so clear no one needed to say a word. Her notable presence everybody could clearly see. Leaving them with only one conclusion: Jesus knew what He was saying because He proved it by action not just words.

In Luke.13:10-13 we read these words:  Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 

Jesus again as His custom was heals a woman bound by satan for eighteen years by calling her forward for all to see. Then through action demonstrates His power over satan in the presence of the doubters and hypocrites by making her straight again.

Now look at their complaint and watch how Jesus destroys it. In Luke.13:14-17 we read these words:  But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.”

15 The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? 16 So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” 17 And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

I love how Jesus shed light on the truth for everybody to see. You will rescue your donkey and give it water but a woman satan bound who has been coming to the house of God eighteen years and is still bound, does not deserve to be healed today because it is the sabbath which puts you to shame because you were unable to help her on the day of rest.

She finally gets help and is freed by Jesus who is the Lord of the sabbath and you are upset that she is now capable of living again upright which is her right as a daughter of Abraham and you actually find it in your heart to condemn her. Infallible proofs are always the remedy Jesus used to silence the voice of enemies which worked every time. Believe me this is the place the Holy Spirit wants us to walk in as proof producers of the reality of God’s heart to heal and deliver in situations for all to see.

Now let’s take it a step further by looking at Peter in Acts.3:6-10 which reads: Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God. 10 Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.  

Peter heals the man at the beautiful gate. We see the man getting up, running and rejoicing because he will no longer need to be carried to come begging from the beautiful gate. His life has dramatically changed. So why do we have complaints again about his change of circumstances?

Acts.3:11 & 12 says these words: Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon’s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: “Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? What are you all shocked about and acting strange?

Don’t you know the truth that we have Jesus working with us so we can give people freedom from tears of pain because Jesus is alive. Acts.3:16 describes it perfectly: And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.  The name of Jesus has all power to deliver at any time and it is faith in His name that has done this marvelous deed which you all can bear witness to.

Look at the statement of the enemies in Acts.4:16 & 17 by saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.” 

I love it when the Lord answers with a miraculous sign that no one can deny. Their commentary is clear: We hate it but have to admit it Jesus is great possessing much authority which everybody can see. It is clearly a notable miracle and it cannot be disproved or spoken evil off.

That my dear brethren is what the Holy Spirit wants you to strive to be a Carrier of in your lifetime. A person that proves by action that is notable:  the reality of Jesus for men to see through signs,wonders and miracles that cannot be denied.

I pray that today that as you allow these words to take root in you, grace will be supplied to you by the Holy Spirit to become a carrier of the notable miracles of Jesus which will change society and bring great expansion to the Kingdom of Jesus as it did when it happened then.

May your hearts be so stirred to take action to pursue the Lord wholeheartedly until this demonstration of Jesus through signs, wonders and miracles becomes the reality in your everyday life in Jesus name. Amen.
