Let’s talk about ten scriptural reasons you’ve got miracle working power available to you.  As I go through these ten scriptures. . .I’m going to specifically list 34 power points or keys. . .which I will review at the end of the call.

First, Mark 16:17-18 says:

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;  They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Do you believe?  Do you really believe every word in the Bible is true?  Do you really believe you can do everything the Word of God says you can do?

Signs follow those who believe. . .they can do what the Word of God says they can do.

Three key phrases from Mark 16:17-18.

1.       And these signs shall follow them that believe

2.       In the name of Jesus they shall cast out demons.

3.       They shall speak with new tongues

4.       They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Have you ever wondered. . .God, why do I have to go through this?

Or perhaps, you thought. . .why am I having to go through the fire?

While I realize that no one wants to go through hard times…

I can tell you with absolute certainty what you will find in the fire.

It’s your miracle.  That’s right.

Your miracle is in the fire.

My favorite Bible story as a child was about the three Hebrews thrown into the fiery furnace.  I loved this story even more than Daniel in the lion’s den.

Before we go any further. . .once again. . .I’m going to make a powerful, life-changing statement that I want you to write down.

“My miracle is in the fire.”

You can even personalize it.

“<<YourName>>’s miracle is in the fire.

Now let’s look at the story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. . .who were cast into a fiery furnace heated seven times hotter by decree of King Nebuchadnezzar. . .simply because they refused to worship his golden image.

Daniel 3:5-6 in the New Living Translation says:

The story of David and Goliath is probably the favorite story of most all children. . .I know it was mine.

The giants that you and I face define our identity and establish our reality.  The giants we face and defeat outline the places and spaces where we’ve chosen to live.

The giants in our lives. . .are determined to keep us out of our promised land where the promises of God are manifested.

By the way, you’re in your promised land. . .right now. . .the question is whether or not you are embracing His promises to make it a land flowing with milk and honey. . .abundance and success.

Our ability to face and defeat our giants. . .will determine the extent of the success we achieve.

Slaying our giants will move us from a life of mediocrity to unlimited success.  And, yes, from fear to freedom.

While our giants aren’t usually physical but more spiritual, they are nevertheless foreboding and at times, terrifying.

It’s not unusual for us to wage an internal mental war on when and how to face our giants.

Several weeks back, I was directed by our Heavenly Father share something very bold with you. 

He said: 

“Tell my children that just saying Happy New Year or singing Auld Lang Syne at midnight on New Year’s Eve will not make 2023 a better year but I can make it so.”

Then Lord told me. . .He wants you to develop a clear vision for success, prosperity and healing.  Next, He gave me very specific instructions on what He wants us to speak as we greet the new year.

Change is not a function of a calendar, but it is a personal decision for us to change what we’re thinking, saying and doing.

The Lord gave me five instructions for each of us and then He led me in writing seven confessions for each of the first seven days in the New Year.  Here are the instructions.

# 1    Start the year differently than you ever have before.

Don’t do what you’ve always done.

If you’ve always made New Year’s resolutions on losing weight, exercising more, getting your personal finances in order. . .only to have your good intentions fade with the passing of each new day, get ready for something new. . .that will not fade but grow stronger every day.

Revelation 21:5 in the Classic Amplified Bible says:

“And He Who is seated on the throne said, See! I make all things new. Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are faithful (accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy) and true (genuine).”

# 2    Set a specific time to boldly proclaim your confessions each day.

If it’s God’s will to give us the kingdom, then why are so many people struggling?

Here are five hindrances to your success and receiving a surplus of prosperity.

Fear. . .of the unknown.  Fear of failure.

Doubt. . .that God will do what He says He will do in His word.

Anxiety. . .over the current economic, viruses and political landscape.

Hesitation. . .to give what God says to give because of our perceived limitations and lack.

Disbelief. . .over whether everything promised in the Bible applies to “me.”

Notice the progression of the five hindrances. . .one builds upon the next one.
