Being a miracle worker…
Aug 6th, 2010 by ljkim
I think one of the reasons why all the spiritual gifts don’t receive the attention of gifts like “knowledge” and “teaching” is because when we get to the part in 1 Corinthians 12 that mentions “working miracles” we are embarrassed and toss the list… None of the lists or items on the lists are definitive, so no one thing has to apply to every place, but I really believe there are people with the spiritual gift of doing miracles today… And we need them…
These are people who if they were willing to throw away their idea of self and follow Jesus wholeheartedly would be capable of anything God wanted. People whose passion and intellect would make it so that they could do impossible things, as long as they knew it was what God wanted them to do. When everyone says “it’s not possible… it’s not the right time… maybe God doesn’t want us to succeed…” those with the gift of miracles will make it happen. That’s a spiritual gift. It grows as one grows in trust and passion and depth as a Jesus-person.
