Miracles will become expected as we walk in the higher Law of THE SPIRIT!

The Kingdom of GOD has arrived and exists today on earth.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

He didn’t say the Kingdom would come later, He said It had come. 

Miracles are not interruptions of natural law.  They are expressions of a higher law. 

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

2 For the (superior, higher) Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made Me free from the (lower, inferior) law of sin and death.

Which law would you rather submit to in your daily life?

Laws do not disappear because time passes.  The law of lift and thrust existed before man discovered how to use it in order to fly in an airplane.  When we discover how to operate effectively in the higher Law of THE SPIRIT, we will expect miracles in our daily walk and interaction with others.

Some believe that miracles were necessary only to establish the early church.  Wrong!  I have experienced miracles in the past, so has my wife.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 13:

8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

If He is the same, His compassion is the same.  His authority is the same, and His willingness is the same.  What has changed from the early church?  Our expectation!  We must correct our mindsets so that we can expect and experience the same results as the early church.  We must no longer accept and live under the inferior law.

When expectation is removed, faith suffocates quietly.  People still pray, but without anticipation.  They still read Scripture, but without confidence.  They still sing about power but rarely expect to encounter it.  Believers then read The Gospels as historical facts instead of present invitations to walk in the same manner.  Miraculous healings become illustrations instead of promises.

This change in mindset causes the believer to defer to worldly solutions to their problems for relief in their bodies.  They defer to treating symptoms rather than addressing the core issue.  Any and all issues are addressed by operating in the higher realm of THE SPIRIT.

The authority Jesus delegated becomes symbolic rather than operational.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

In other Words, “I tell you this timeless Truth: The person who follows Me in faith, believing in Me, will do the same mighty miracles that I do—even greater miracles than these because I go to be with my Father!

Are you going to remove His Words from your Bible so that you don’t have to account for what He said?  Are you going to rationalize what He said by redefining His stated Intent?

Jesus continues:

13 And whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.

Do you want to glorify THE FATHER and Our Lord Jesus Christ on the earth?  What should be our motivation?

15 “If you Love Me, keep My commandments.

Walking in the higher realm of miracles is an outward expression of our Love for Christ.  As we pursue a mature walk in the higher realm, Jesus makes a commitment to each of us:

16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever–

17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.

18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

What a promise!  We have been given the means to walk in the higher realm where miracles are not the exception, but the rule.   

Are we walking as the manifested Sons and Daughters of GOD?

In 1996, I taught on the revelation of us being Sons and Daughters of GOD to the “Young Married couples” class in church.  Within months, I was effectively ushered out of that church because it did not line up with the doctrine of the pastor.  That was 30 years ago and that church is no longer around.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 1:

12 But those who embraced Him and took hold of His Name He gave power and authority to become the Sons (and Daughters) of God!

This was the Scripture that started it all.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing (manifestation) of the Sons of God.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

23 And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s Sons and Daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed.

And in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 3:

18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same Image from Glory to Glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

In other Words, we can all draw close to Him with the veil removed from our faces. And with no veil we all become like mirrors who brightly reflect the Glory of the Lord Jesus. We are being transfigured into His very Image as we move from one brighter level of Glory to another. And this glorious transfiguration comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit.

We are being transformed into the Image of Jesus Christ… in all areas, and this includes the ministry of miracles.  All of creation is groaning for this level of maturity to be widespread among the Sons and Daughters of GOD.

The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in 1^st John chapter 3:

1 Look with wonder at the depth of the Father’s marvelous Love that He has lavished on us! He has called us and made us His Very Own Beloved Children. The reason the world doesn’t recognize who we are is that they didn’t recognize Him.

2 Beloved, we are God’s children right now; however, it is not yet apparent what we will become. But we do know that when it is finally made visible, we will be just like Him, for we will see Him as He truly is.

3 And all who focus their hope on Him will always be purifying themselves, just as Jesus is pure.

The Truth is that we are now Sons and Daughters.  The only issue is our level of maturity.  When we are mature, we will walk in the higher Spiritual Law I wrote about yesterday.  We know FATHER’S Will and Intent, and we simply carry it out on earth.  Miracles, signs, and wonders follow us as they did Jesus.  HE alone is our Perfect Example of how we are to walk.

We are not to walk as mere mortal men; we are to walk as Sons of GOD!  If we walk like Sons of GOD, we’ve only got one example, and that’s Jesus.  He was the Perfect Example, He was the prototype Son, and we are supposed to be living that Life.  That life includes miracles.

Unbelief is not ignorance; it is the refusal to act on The Word!

This reality exposes the heart of the issue.  Believers in essence refuse to act on The Words of Jesus.  Their unbelief limits their expectation, and they are more concerned about their reputation than achieving results expected by Jesus. 

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

And in Matthew chapter 19:

26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

And in Mark chapter 10:

27 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

And Mark chapter 14:

36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

Whether healing the sick or raising the dead, with FATHER, all things are possible.  That Truth has not been modified or removed!  FATHER’S Divine Intent has not changed, nor has HIS Word been altered to fit our expectations due to unbelief.

Belief that miracles have passed away is not merely misunderstanding, it is the decision to stop acting on certain Scriptures while still affirming others.  It is selective faith disguised as theological maturity.

The New Testament never presents miracles as optional “add-ons” to the Gospel.  They were not promotional signs for apostles only.  They are manifestations of The Kingdom!

You can recite the Lord’s Prayer, but do you really believe those Words?  Are you really expecting FATHER’S Kingdom to come?  Is there any sickness in HIS Kingdom?  Are there any devils in HIS Kingdom?

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 12:

28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

Jesus did not say that the Kingdom would come later.  He said it had arrived.

When Jesus sent out the twelve disciples, He said in Matthew chapter 10:

7 And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.’

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

Have His expectations changed?  I think not!

Miracles are not interruptions of natural law.  They are expressions of a higher law!

Jesus intends for us to live by the power of The Holy Spirit.  Paul expressed this expectation as he recorded by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

1 So now the case is closed. There remains no accusing voice of condemnation against those who are joined in Life-union with Jesus, the Anointed One.

2 For the “law” of the Spirit of life flowing through the anointing of Jesus has liberated us from the “law” of sin and death.

We are now able to operate in the higher law of THE SPIRIT rather than the lower, natural law of sin, sickness, and death.

3 For God achieved what the law was unable to accomplish, because the law was limited by the weakness of human nature. Yet God sent us His Son in human form to identify with human weakness. Clothed with humanity, God’s Son gave His Body to be the sin-offering so that God could once and for all condemn the guilt and power of sin.

The Blood of Jesus has enabled us to walk in this higher Law.  It is vital that when we take Holy Communion, we understand the importance of the Blood Covenant that allows us to operate in the higher law.

4 So now every righteous requirement of the law can be fulfilled through the Anointed One living His Life in us. And we are free to live, not according to our flesh, but by the dynamic power of the Holy Spirit!

We have been set free from the lower, natural law yet many are still sitting in the jail cell even though the door is not only unlocked but is open.

5 Those who are motivated by the flesh only pursue what benefits themselves. But those who live by the impulses of the Holy Spirit are motivated to pursue Spiritual realities.

6 For the sense and reason of the flesh is death, but the mind-set controlled by the Spirit finds Life and peace.

7 In fact, the mind-set focused on the flesh fights God’s plan and refuses to submit to his direction, because it cannot!

Are we fighting GOD’S plan by not expecting miracles?

8 For no matter how hard they try, God finds no pleasure with those who are controlled by the flesh.

9 But when the Spirit of Christ empowers your life, you are not dominated by the flesh but by the Spirit. And if you are not joined to the Spirit of the Anointed One, you are not of Him.

Miracles are not meant to be an optional part of your life!

Miracles are Love expressed in power!

The majority of believers do not expect miracles, and it is due to unbelief.  Teaching from the pulpit has watered down the Gospel because of unhealed disappointment and unanswered prayer.

Jesus spoke in Mark chapter 9:

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

26 Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”

27 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

The Gospels recorded 37 miracles performed by Jesus in His 3 ½ years of ministry on the earth.

Jesus spoke in John chapter 14:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

13 And whatever you ask in My Name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If you ask anything in My Name, I will do it.

How many of us are walking in the manner that Jesus spoke of in the above passage?  Do you have to travel a thousand miles to a meeting to experience a miracle?

The expectation of miracles has been limited by redefining GOD’S present activity.  Unbelief doesn’t say “GOD no longer heals.”  Instead, it whispers, “GOD can heal, but HE usually doesn’t.”  The excuse that GOD is sovereign is associated with such thinking.  This doctrine essentially removes accountability and responsibility away from the believer.

That being the case, what do you do with Jesus’ command to do “greater works” than Him?  Lack of miracles is not drawn from Scripture, but from experience.

Scripture never authorizes experience to interpret Truth.  Truth interprets experience!

What you believe about miracles determines how you pray, how you expect, how you interpret delay, and how you respond when symptoms remain.  Your belief shapes your posture and your posture shapes prayer, and ultimately, prayer shapes experience.

Jesus never adjusted Truth to accommodate disappointment.  He never softened revelation to protect wounded expectation.  Jesus never said, “Miracles once happened, but times have changed.”  Instead He said, “”If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

Did He really mean “All things are possible?”  Did that include miracles?  Did FATHER change HIS Divine Intent in the last 2,000 years?  Jesus’ statement has never been revised and has never expired nor was it ever limited to a generation!

Did Peter believe that miracles had passed away when Jesus went to the cross?

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 3:

6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”

7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

The man had been lame his entire life but that did not intimidate or limit Peter in any way.  Peter had just spent forty days being instructed by Jesus Himself after His resurrection, concerning the Kingdom of GOD.  Peter had been baptized in The Holy Spirit, speaking in Tongues.  He was no longer a “knucklehead”, but now endued with power from On High and, he knew it and embraced it.

After the Day of Pentecost where 3,000 souls were added to the church, Luke records by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

43 A deep sense of Holy awe swept over everyone, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.

People change when they see miracles happen, especially when they experience a miracle themselves.  Isn’t it time to no longer allow unbelief to determine our personal walk with Christ?  Isn’t it time that each of us begin expecting miracles to take place as we pray?

Don’t let your past experience of disappointment determine your future!

Don’t allow yourself to be distracted!

As I have written in the past, we must not allow ourselves to be distracted when we are immersing ourselves in The Word.

Distraction during the study of the Word of God is a calculated spiritual strategy by the enemy, not merely human weakness. The enemy understands that the Word, when truly received, is an active force that threatens darkness.

Distraction is one of satan’s most effective devices because it appears natural while causing Spiritual interruption. The enemy fears believers who consciously receive Scripture, as reception leads to transformation.

Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 13:

19 When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

22 “The one sown among thorns represents one who receives the message, but all of life’s busy distractions, his divided heart, and his ambition for wealth result in suffocating the Kingdom message and It becomes fruitless.

The enemy tries to snatch the sown Word immediately, not later, to prevent it from taking root in the heart, which is the soil of spiritual growth.  The Word of God is “God speaking to us,” meaning authority is being transferred, and dominion is shifting. Distraction prevents believers from hearing God clearly, which in turn hinders faith and action.

In Hebrews 4:12, The Word of God is described as quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, designed to cut through error, expose false agreements, and dismantle fear-based identities. Distraction is a subtle attempt to prevent this penetration.

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 8:

18 So pay careful attention to your hearts as you listen to My teaching, for to those who have open hearts, even more revelation will be given to them until it overflows. And for those who do not listen with open hearts, what little light they imagine themselves to have will be taken away.”

Hearing is intentional and participatory. The enemy targets the believer’s posture because it determines how deeply the Word can penetrate.

James wrote by The Holy Spirit in James chapter 1:

21 So this is why we abandon everything morally impure and all forms of wicked conduct. Instead, with a sensitive spirit we absorb God’s Word, which has been implanted within our nature, for the Word of Life has power to continually deliver us.

And Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Corinthians chapter 10:

5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

In order to remain sensitive to absorbing The Word, we must not allow our thoughts to drift away from focusing on The Word.

Distraction during the Word is often about protecting existing strongholds, which are held by beliefs and imaginations that exalt themselves against God’s knowledge. The Word is designed to dismantle these patterns.  Distraction is aggressively deployed by the enemy when faith is about to rise, as faith comes by hearing the Word, leading to authority and the collapse of the enemy’s influence.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:

17 So then faith comes by hearing (and embracing), and hearing by the Word of God.

Distraction delays the renewing of the mind, which preserves old patterns and agreements, ultimately preserving spiritual bondage.

And in Romans chapter 12:

2 Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God’s will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His Eyes.

The enemy is not threatened by casual exposure to Scripture but by its assimilation into the believer’s inner framework.  Learning to guard one’s attention during the Word is a strategic act of Spiritual warfare, Shaping spiritual outcomes by allowing Truth to awaken, restore, and realign.

When the Word is received without interruption, it awakens, restores, and realigns the believer, reminding them of who they are in Christ.

Praise is agreement with GOD’S Character and is the highest expression of faith!

Clarity produces authority and when you praise GOD, your clarity increases.  You align your mindset with HIS.  Once you do, the battle is won. Praise brings you into the continual awareness of GOD’S triumph!

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Chronicles chapter 20:

20 So they rose early in the morning and went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.”

21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the beauty of Holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the LORD, For His mercy endures forever.”

This is clearly contradictory to what man would do.

22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

Praise defeated their enemies!  How?

King David recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 22:

3 But You are Holy, Enthroned (and inhabit) in the praises of Israel.

Praise shifts the battlefield and atmosphere: Praise moves believers from the seen to the unseen realm, focusing their eyes on God rather than the attack. When praise rises, the enemy’s influence collapses.

Praise is not about moving God, but about aligning oneself with what God has already done. It shifts believers into a realm governed by God’s promises.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 16:

23 And when they had laid many stripes on them (Paul and Silas), they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely.

24 Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.

25 Paul and Silas, undaunted, prayed in the middle of the night and sang songs of praise to God, while all the other prisoners listened to their worship.

They shifted the realm from the physical to the Spiritual.  What was the result?

26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill himself.

28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.”

29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

32 Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And immediately he and all his family were baptized.

34 Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.

Paul and Silas did not escape but were set free by the legal authority of the guard.  Salvation came to the guard and his family because praise changed the atmosphere.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Colossians chapter 3:

2 Yes, feast on all the treasures of the Heavenly realm and fill your thoughts with Heavenly realities, and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

Paul was not distracted by being in prison and shackled, he focused on the Heavenly realities and sang praises to THE LORD.  He understood that praise is a weapon.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 149:

6 God’s high and Holy praises fill their mouths, for their shouted praises are their weapons of war!

Praise is a powerful spiritual weapon that the devil fears more than prayers or Bible reading. Unlike what many believers perceive as a soft emotion, praise is a war cry and Spiritual resistance.

Praise stills, stops, and shuts down the enemy’s mouth, stripping him of influence and denying him access. This is why the devil wants believers silent and focused inward.

Praise creates a realm around a believer where darkness cannot legally operate, building a “Throne Room atmosphere”. It’s the believer enforcing the reality of Christ’s finished work.  Every act of praise reminds us of Christ’s triumph, declaring that satan’s authority has been broken. This is why the enemy tries to empty praise of its revelation and power.

Praise is a lifestyle and posture, not merely an emotion or a reaction to circumstances. It should rise from identity in Christ, righteousness, and the finished work of Christ, leading to clarity, strength, and authority.

The following song is such an expression of praise:

We are to initiate revival, not wait on a Sovereign move of GOD!

The term “Great Awakening” has been declared for this final move of GOD on the earth.  Who is meant to be awakened?  Not God, we are to awaken to our responsibility to bring forth Heaven to earth.  These latest writings are meant to awaken us, not FATHER.  We must not shirk our responsibility and defer to FATHER to bring forth this Great Awakening.  HE is waiting for us.

Light does not wait to shine.  Light shines because shining is its nature!

The deepest obstacle to revival is disagreement. This includes internal division between a believer’s mind and spirit, their confession and God’s Word, and their prayers and expectations.  Revival flows in agreement—agreement in spirit, expectation, and faith.  

When believers tolerate internal division or act in contradiction to their prayers, they unknowingly sabotage the awakening they are seeking.  Revival responds to spiritual consistency, where believers think, speak, and act in agreement with God’s Word.

Prayers for revival often fail because Christians are praying for something God has already placed inside them or already provided.  This is due to a human misunderstanding of what God has already accomplished.

The following are reasons for the failure of prayers for revival:

Asking God for what He has already given and begging Him to do what He has already commanded.

Pleading for Holy Spirit Fire that is already burning in their spirit and waiting for winds that have already filled their inner man.

Praying from a place of separation, insufficiency, or distance instead of union, fullness, and indwelling with Christ.

Praying for what they already possess.

Praying from unbelief about what God has already given.  A believer who prays for revival while believing they are powerless, unworthy, or spiritually empty is praying from contradiction.

Refusing participation and expecting God to move sovereignly without requiring anything from them.

Waiting for Spiritual sensations or feelings instead of acting on Spiritual Truth and faith.

Tolerating internal division between their mind and spirit, confession and God’s Word, and what they pray and what they expect.

Speaking discouragement, defeat, or unbelief, which cancels the awakening they are asking for.

The early church should be our example of revival as contained in the Book of Acts.

To reiterate:

Unlike many modern Christians who pray for revival to be “sent” from Heaven, the early church never prayed, “Lord, send revival.”  Instead, they prayed, “Lord, stretch forth Thy Hand”, indicating a belief that God was already present and moving through them.

The early church recognized that revival flows from within the believer, not from external sources. They understood that the Fire from the upper room took residence in people, rather than returning to Heaven.

The early church did not ask God to stir them because they already knew they were stirred and declared the Word with boldness. This contrasts with modern believers who “wait for God to ignite what He commanded them to stir”.

They did not ask God to give power but rather acted on the power they had already received. This directly opposes the modern tendency to pray as though “power must be requested rather than released”.

The early church did not plead for Heaven to move; instead, they moved because Heaven had already been given, and as they moved, Heaven manifested.  This highlights that they were “being revival,” rather than waiting for it to be an external event.

The early church operated from an understanding that God had already supplied all things pertaining to life and Godliness, and that revival was the believer awakening, not God finally responding. This contrasts with the idea that prayer for revival fails because Christians “ask God for what HE has already given”.

In essence, the early church exemplified a posture of releasing and acting upon what God had already provided within them, rather than passively waiting or requesting something they believed had yet to come
