You’ve heard the stories; You have seen the TV shows and YouTube videos of the miracles that still happen today. No doubt you have seen the blind man and the cripple in the wheelchair get up and walk. How about a man who instantly grew a new eardrum after being deaf for 54 years? Or a woman whose muscular sclerosis suddenly disappeared or a woman cured of asthma after more than 50 years? Do you think those things still happen today?
If you do, then it is very likely that your belief in the miraculous comes with a side of doubt. I mean, you may believe that it’s possible for that TV preacher to lay hands on the sick and they recover, or that famous medicine man with the gigantic church performs the supernatural on a weekly basis. However, the belief of him, of course, stops in his tracks before you.
If someone asks you to go down to the front of the church and lay hands on the sick and heal them, panic will take over your body and disbelief will take over your mind, and this is the problem.
In the groundbreaking book, “The Consciousness of Justice: How to Unleash the Power of God Within You!” the author explains that the power of God and the supernatural touch of our Lord Jesus Christ is in all of us who have been saved. Once born again, you are the likeness of Him; you can do what Jesus did while he walked the earth, and even greater things than he did. The Bible makes it clear in John 14:12.
I assure you, I tell you very solemnly, that if anyone firmly believes in me, he himself will be able to do the things that I do, and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. —John 14:12 (NASB)
It does not depend on your own self-confidence and it is not a question of whether or not you have enough faith. The supernatural is within your own consciousness. It is not about your faith to believe in a particular situation; it is about you existing, walking and living in the continual awareness of God’s justice.
Salvation involves much more than the forgiveness of sins. Jesus changed places with you; not only taking your sinfulness, but He gave you the righteousness of it! However, most of us only think and focus on the sin side of the equation in that Jesus forgave our sins and therefore we should avoid sin. This “consciousness of sin” is the problem. Instead of an awareness of sin, we need to focus on and come to actual awareness of righteousness.
The above miracles, by the way, are true. Mark lost his left eardrum when he was six years old. The eardrum reappeared during a small Bible study meeting.
Linda suffered from severe asthma from birth, until she came to a small Bible study class. Now, for the first time in 52 years, and to the astonishment of her doctors, Linda, she threw away the medications and respirators.
These miraculous events and many more did not take place in a mega-church or on a multi-million dollar television broadcast, but in a small Bible study session in the author’s home.
Miracle healers are not special people; they simply live in righteousness consciousness, as you can too.
