Introduction: The Ever-Present Miracle Worker
We are living in an age where doubt, human pride, and intellectual reasoning have caused many to drift far from the truth that God is a miracle-working God. In a world inundated with scientific solutions, technological advancements, and self-reliance, it has become increasingly easy for people to forget the miraculous interventions of the Almighty. Yet, the Living God remains unchanged. His power is not diminished by time, culture, or unbelief. He is still the God who parts seas, who feeds multitudes, who raises the dead, and who transforms hardened hearts into vessels of righteousness. This message is a divine reminder and a clarion call to return to faith in the God of the impossible. It is not only a theological truth but a lived reality that God still performs miracles for those who humble themselves and believe.

The God of All Gods: Supreme and Self-Existent
"For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward." — Deuteronomy 10:17 (KJV)
The foundational truth of miracles lies in the sovereignty and supremacy of God. He is the self-existent One, needing nothing outside Himself to function or to be complete. From creation to the present day, His creative power has been demonstrated through countless acts that defy human explanation. The Red Sea parting was not a myth, but a miraculous deliverance ordained by a God who reigns above all.

Miracles for the Humble and the Desperate
"The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit." — Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
God’s miracles are not reserved for the elite, the rich, or the mighty. They are for the humble. Whether one cries out in desperation or in reverent gladness, God listens. The key is not in the eloquence of the prayer but in the posture of the heart. Many miss miracles simply because they are too proud to acknowledge their need for God. Others are led astray by false doctrines that claim the age of miracles has passed. But Scripture declares that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Recounting God’s Past Miracles
"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits." — Psalm 103:2 (KJV)
Throughout history, God has revealed Himself through miraculous signs. From the days of Moses to the ministry of Jesus and the early Church, the miraculous has been the signature of God’s involvement with His people. He healed lepers, gave sight to the blind, multiplied food for thousands, calmed storms, and raised the dead. These are not merely historical accounts; they are divine patterns proving that He is willing and able to do the same today.

The Greatest Miracle: Salvation through Jesus Christ
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." — Acts 4:12 (KJV)
While physical miracles testify to God's power, the greatest miracle remains the transformation of the human heart through salvation. When a sinner repents and turns to Christ, that soul moves from death to life. No scientific process or human intervention can duplicate that. The spiritual regeneration brought through the Holy Spirit is a miracle beyond comparison.

Spiritual Warfare and the Role of Faith
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." — Ephesians 6:12 (KJV)
Miracles often take place in the context of spiritual warfare. The enemy seeks to discourage, distract, and destroy faith. As believers, we must put on the full armor of God and stand firm. Faith is the shield that quenches the fiery darts of the enemy. When we choose to trust in the unseen and the impossible, we position ourselves for divine intervention.

The Tragedy of Idolatry and False Worship
"They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not... They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them." — Psalm 115:5, 8 (KJV)
False gods cannot produce miracles. Idolatry, whether traditional or modern (such as materialism, self-glorification, or digital obsession), leaves souls empty and desperate. The gods of this age are deaf, dumb, and powerless. Only the Living God answers when we call. Only He performs the impossible. Those who trust in idols will face disillusionment and despair.

A Call to Intercession and Proclamation
"Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." — Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV)
God desires that His people pray, not only for themselves but for others. When we intercede, we activate divine intervention. Let us proclaim God’s power to a generation bombarded with hopelessness. In a world ruled by fear, we must testify of the God who answers prayer and does miracles in real-time.

Summary
God remains the same: all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present. His desire to perform miracles for His people has not changed. What hinders many is pride, unbelief, and idolatry. The greatest miracle is salvation through Jesus Christ, and from that flows healing, provision, protection, and divine guidance. God hears the humble and answers the prayers of those who trust Him fully.

Conclusion
This is the hour to return to believing in miracles. In our personal lives, in our communities, and in our nations, we must lift our eyes to the God of heaven. The God who parted the Red Sea still makes ways where there seems to be none. The God who raised Lazarus from the dead still resurrects what has died. Let us not miss our miracles due to pride or apathy.

Call to Action
Today, humble yourself before God. Let go of doubt and disappointment. Cry out to Him with genuine faith. Intercede for your family, your church, your city, and your nation. Stand firm in the face of delay and believe that God is able to do what man cannot do. Speak of His greatness and testify of His power.

Final Word of Encouragement
Rejoice that you serve the miracle-working God. Let your life be a testimony of His wonders. Keep praying, keep believing, and never cease to hope. The God who created the heavens and the earth is your Father. He has not forgotten you, and He will never fail you. The age of miracles is not over—it is only beginning anew for those who believe.

Salvation Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come before You in the Name of Jesus. I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of Your grace. I believe that Jesus Christ died for my sins and rose again on the third day. I repent of my sins and ask You to forgive me. I receive Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me into the life You have prepared for me. I surrender all to You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
