You Are A Miracle!

Today, I want to share with you the miracle that you may not be aware of. People, for centuries, have sought a sign and a wonder, not knowing the very thing they are looking for has been right in front of them all this time. Today, I want to show you through scripture, how invaluable you are to God and why you are so precious to Him.

My friend, don't ever let anyone tell you that you are worthless, that you don't matter, and that your life is meaningless! I assure you, that is a lie born of the pits of hell itself! In today's world, everything is ruled by logic and the belief that if you cannot see something or understand it with your own intellect, that it doesn't exist and must be a myth or a flat out lie! Most people today don't believe in miracles. They refuse to believe someone can be healed of cancer, or diabetes, or even Covid 19, all because their shrine we call science and logic tells them it's not possible for such things to happen!

People have stopped believing in God out right for the most outrageous reasons. I have known people who stopped believing in God all because things in their life didn't go the way they thought it should. God said in His Word that His ways are not our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. A lot of people don't believe in God just because they can't wrap their heads around the existence of a Heavenly Father Who spoke the Heavens and the earth into being. They can't imagine a God Who is perfect, Who is love, and Who is all knowing to ask Abraham to sacrifice his own son to Him to test Abraham's faith and devotion to God. They can't understand how a loving God can allow all this anarchy to take place in the world.

Let me tell you something. The truth of the matter is, God didn't allow any of the chaos in this world to happen! We did! How? By pulling further and further away from God. The 20th century alone was the century where the most people were the furthest from God. With all the different religions in the world like Atheism, Buddhism, Hinduism and so on, the 20th century saw the most people further from God than they've ever been!

And because of that, the 20th century also had the most violent and bloodiest wars of all time. World Wars 1 and 2, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the latest conflict in the Middle East. Over 200 million lives lost in those wars! Why? Because when we pull away from God and push Him out of our country, out of our lives, out of our schools, government buildings, and especially our homes, we pull just as far away from His covering and protection. If this world was as close to God as they were in the centuries passed, those wars would never have happened!

But there are miracles all over the world even now! And guess what? YOU are one of them! Read our text today, 1 Peter 2:4-10,

"Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion

A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected Has become the chief cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy."

Let's pray. "Heavenly Father, in Jesus Holy Name, we come before You today, with praise and thanksgiving in our hearts and on our lips for You, Lord. Father, bless every person here reading this message. Let the Word of the Living God ring in their hearts and open their eyes to see Your Glory today. Let the angels of the Most High God visit each and every home represented here today. Let the Glory of the Lord shine around them and in them. Let this word bring them joy and peace in every area of their lives. We come to hear from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, today. Ready to receive from the very throne room of Heaven itself! In Jesus Name we pray and ask it in faith believing and expecting! Amen and amen!"
