Miracles of Faith in Action!
“And Jesus said to him, “If you can’! All things are possible for one who believes.” Mark 9:23
Faith has been a source of strength for countless individuals and groups throughout history. It is no surprise, then those miraculous acts have been attributed to the power of faith. Likewise, miracles of faith in action are accounts of powerful moments where the power of faith has led to amazing outcomes. These inspiring stories demonstrate the immense potential that lies within those who practice their faith with conviction and dedication.
The story of the miraculous fall of Jericho recorded in Joshua 6 is one of the most powerful examples of faith in action. As Joshua and his people prepared to march around the walls for seven days, the Lord gave them a clear command: “Shout, for the Lord has given you this city.” The Israelites obeyed without hesitation, and their faith was rewarded with a miracle – as they shouted, God caused the walls to collapse. This act stands as an example of how trusting and following God’s instructions can lead to miracles that defy all expectations.
Joshua 6:10 says, “But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”
The obedience demonstrated by Joshua’s people set an example for us today as we seek to live faithfully and trust God’s sovereign power. We can accomplish a lot through faith and obedience to God’s word. By following His instructions precisely and trusting in His promises, Joshua could see miracles come to fruition. Even today, this passage reminds us all about how powerful believing in something greater than ourselves can be—that we can achieve great things with enough faith and commitment.
Brethren, miracles of faith are never far away. They can be experienced in any situation, no matter how big or small. All we have to do is take action on God’s instructions. It might be a small step or something more dramatic, but it will always bring a miracle if we are courageous enough to act upon it. Faith in action is essential for miracles to manifest. If you lack faith and rely solely on yourself, you may not easily experience that transformative power that comes through miracles but end up settling for less. But if you trust and have confidence in God, he will lead you in the right direction, no matter what your circumstances may be at the time. When we act out of obedience to His commands, He will ensure that a miracle comes through for us. Amen. Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Amen.
Prayer:
1. Lord, increase my faith in Jesus’ name. Amen.
2. May you experience God’s faithfulness in any Seasons of life. In Jesus’ name. Amen
