Miracle Ministry Of Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jul 11, 2016

There is a right relationship between a miracle and the Messiah. Jesus healed the paralytic’s to prove that He could solve the man’s bigger problem of sin. You could go to heaven with a sick body but not a sick soul. Salvation is the greatest miracle.

If God can open our spiritual eyes to see from the inside out the beginning and the end of our situation we will know the right step to take and we will have more confident in Him and won’t have to worry much.

I believe as Christians God has given us physical eye to see in the physical realm and He can give us spiritual eyes to see in the spiritual realm . Ephesians 1:18 says “The ...read more
