What Do You Need for A Miracle?

Read Acts 3:1-7 The Lame man healed at the gate called Beautiful.

1. Need. The man was poor, unsaved and lame. He had three needs; physical, financial and spiritual ones. When you have a need of any type in your life, that is a foundation for a miracle to take place. When you are in a desperate situation and pushed to the corner, that is a prerequisite for God’s supernatural intervention.
2. Power. Peter confessed that he was not about to fill the lame man’s financial needs but he had means of other sort – the Christ in Me reality to share with the lame. Just couple of hours ago Peter had been filled with the Holy Spirit and this reality was flowing in his spirit. He had the Spirit and with the Spirit he had the power. He released that power and miracle took place.
3. Faith. Peter belived and had faith in the healing and miracle working power of Jesus. Verse 16: ” 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.” Somebody must have faith so that miracles can happen, either the one receiving the miracle or the one working the miracle or both. Faith is the key for the miraculous manifestation of God.
4. Boldness. Faith equals boldness. Faith is action. Faith works. Peter did act upon the stirring of the Spirit and boldly “took him by the right hand and lifted him up”. Bold action is required miracles to take place.
5. The Name of Jesus. This is the most important ingredient of miracles; the authority and person of resurrected son of God, Jesus Christ the King of all kings. In His name miracles happen, demons flee, bondages are broken and bodies are being restored.
Receive your miracle and let the Holy Spirit use you to release a miracle in somebody else’s life today.
