READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. THE "WORKING OF MIRACLES!" MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30,2015.

But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues (1 Corinthians 12:7-10).

“The working of miracles” is one of the manifestations and gifts of the Spirit. When that gift is in operation in your life, the Spirit of God causes you or guides you to perform a miracle. There’s a wonderful example of such in the Old Testament, where the sons of the Prophets came to Elisha to help them retrieve a borrowed axe which had fallen into the river. The Bible says Elisha cut a piece of wood, dropped it in the water, and the axe head came afloat (2 Kings 6:6).

How did he know what to do for the axe head to come to the surface of the water? That was the Spirit’s leading. Elisha worked a miracle when the other folks didn’t know what to do about the situation. On another occasion, a widow lost her only son and pleaded with Elisha for help. The Bible says, Elisha “…walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes” (2 Kings 4:35). Again, howdid Elisha know what to do to bring the child back to life? That was the gift of the working of miracles in operation!

If you want to work with God for your financial success, for instance, you must have the thinking of the miraculous. As long as you think impossibility, you can’t work miracles. You must have a different mind-set. The miraculous isn’t based on the wisdom of this world. When there’s a seemingly “impossible” situation, and no human mind can comprehend a way out, trust the Holy Spirit for the working of miracles.

Always, your desire should be to be synchronized with the Holy Spirit; filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. That way, your life will be the expression and manifestation of the supernatural.

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for granting me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, to know you more and to walk according to your Word. As I yield to your guidance, counsel and promptings, my understanding is enlightened to function with the precision and accuracy of the Spirit, in the working of miracles, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
