Title: Miracles in Faith

Miracles come from faith
Acts 14:8-18
Long ago, a German farmer named Doburi lived in a village near Warsaw. Unforeseen financial problems prevented him from paying the rent, and the landlord threatened to kick him out immediately.
Doburi begged for more time, but to no avail.
Doburi and his family knelt down as they heard the church bells announcing the evening prayer meeting and asked God to provide for their needs.
After the prayer, they got up and started singing hymns. "Don't worry, I'll protect you." As I finished the hymn, I heard a strange knock on the window.
When Mr. Doburi opened the window, he saw a crow that his grandfather had tamed years ago. An expensive ring was attached to the crow's snout. It turns out that the ring was lost by the king who visited the village that day.
He returned the ring to the king, who in return gave Doburi money enough to build a house.
God does not always provide for everything so dramatically. But these experiences give us courage. God lives and knows our needs.
Therefore, when you need it, it will be supplied in the most suitable way.
If you are facing difficulties, remember this. Know that God is preparing unexpected 'crows' to give you what you need most. I hope you remember.
Dear saints,
Two people were in danger while preaching the gospel, so they fled to Lystra to preach the gospel, and there, they met a crippled man and wanted to share grace through the text about what happened.
Lystra is a region originally established as a group residence for retired Roman soldiers, and is a city with a low intellectual level and high superstitious tendencies except for an elite class composed of a small number of Greeks.
And because the power of the Jews is weak, the concept of one God is also sparse.
Look at verse 8.
True Christians must evangelize no matter what the circumstances. The environment has to be good or bad.
Japanese missions are also very difficult missions. But do not give up. The true Christ has a zeal for the gospel.
In Acts 3, Peter also meets a crippled man while going to the temple to pray. The lame man Peter met was the one waiting to beg. However, the crippled man in verse 8 today is the one who waited to hear the word.
