John 14:12:
12 “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
OUR GOD HEALS. BUT HE DOESN’T HEAL EVERYONE ALL THE TIME.
Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.
2 Timothy 4:20
… use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. 1 Timothy 5:23
THREE REASONS JESUS DIDN’T DO MIRACLES
1. Jesus refused to perform miracles to prove Himself.
The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” Mark 8:11-12
2. Jesus never performed a miracle that interfered with God’s ultimate plan.
“Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly? 54 But if I did, how would the Scriptures be fulfilled that describe what must happen now?” Matthew 26:53-54 NLT
3. Jesus didn’t do miracles where there was no faith
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.
Matthew 13:58
… “Daughter, your faith has healed you. …” Mark 5:34
… “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:19
“Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” … Mark 10:52
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!” Mark 9:24
Our faith isn’t based on what God does!
Our faith is based on who God is!
