Extraordinary Miracles

Paul spent two years in Ephesus, one of the most important cities in the ancient world. During this extended visit, he was able to teach these new Believers the core principles of the Christian faith. As a result of his teaching, “all who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.”

But his ministry was not just confined to teaching. He also demonstrated that God’s power was real, and central to the Gospel, and that He could solve problems in supernatural ways. People saw how “extraordinary miracles” took place by Paul’s hands. The anointing was so overwhelming that the sick could be healed just from contact with a handkerchief or apron he had touched.

Paul was proving that God cared about every part of their lives. Their bodies and minds. Their emotions, health, and finances. And He literally could do anything for those who believed! In his letter to this same Ephesian church, Paul reminded them not to forget that God “is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” and that His power “works within us” (Ephesians 3:20).

We make a mistake if we forget that this power still is central to the Gospel. Christianity is not just a system of beliefs, but it is based on a relationship with God, whose power is available to all Believers. It is a power so great that extraordinary things can be done. Blind eyes can see. Deaf ears can be opened. The lame can walk again. Incurable diseases can be cured.

Today, this power is available to you. Banish doubt and believe God for miracles. Extraordinary miracles. He is the same God who worked through Paul. Nothing is impossible for Him!
