New Testament believers did not go around searching and probing ‘to get a miracle.’ They lived on miracle territory. They were in the kingdom of God, and they perceived the miracle-working hand of God in every situation. Believers understood everyday-Christianity to be miraculous, miracles through and through. That theme is common in the letters of the apostle Paul.
Regrettably, what was normal then is not normal now. So much emphasis has been placed upon finding new methods for miracles that it sounds as if it were all a profound secret.
We need to remove the mystery and get back to the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Corinthians 11:3). “He said to her, 'Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.'” (Mark 5:34, NIV)
Can you hear the voice of Jesus?
