Contents
Through miracles, we experience God's grace and enter a new turning point in our lives. miracles can happen
It is because God exists, and also because some problems have come upon us. if nothing to us
Without problems, miracles would not have happened.
Now, we are going through a lot of difficulties in the IMF economic system. We can't help but find a way to live in the present situation.
Because we cannot find it, we desperately need God's miracle. In today's text, Peter's problem is meat.
that it did not catch the . You can see that he experienced miracles by meeting Jesus when he faced these problems of life.
There is. How are miracles revealed through these words, and what is the purpose of God performing miracles for us?
Let's find out together.
First, problems come before miracles.
The problem is the trigger for miracles. Faced with problems before miracles happen, just like lightning is the signal of thunder
will do. Therefore, when we face problems, we do not despair or become discouraged, but hope that miracles will happen.
You must have a network.
The fisherman Peter was faced with a serious life problem. Peter fished hard all night long, but no cattle
There was no benefit. Because fishermen have to catch and sell fish to make a living , it is the fisherman who cannot catch fish .
For them, it is a hopeless thing, like losing the foundation of life.
Problems motivate miracles. Edison is
“Necessity is the mother of invention,” he said. In our country's proverb
"If you're in trouble, it works," he said. The problems we face in this way are the motives for creating miracles. therefore the problem
If you just look at it when it comes to you, you will be in despair, but if you look beyond the problem and look at the result after that, you will have new hopes and expectations.
can.
We must look to God when the flood of problems comes. We can never be ruined by a problem. Problem
Miracles will surely happen to us when we have faith that the God behind us will turn the matter into a miracle.
is. {The LORD is enthroned in the flood; the LORD is enthroned as king forever and ever;
He gives strength, and the LORD blesses his people with peace.] (Psalm 29:10-11)
Second, miracles happen when there is a dream.
Dreams produce miracles. In despair, miracles do not happen. Even in difficult circumstances, do not give in and have faith
When you lose, miracles happen.
Peter had a dream. Peter fished all night, but got nothing. but he just
They did not leave their nets and return home, but washed them cleanly for tomorrow's harvest. At that time, Peter was only rumored
I met Jesus, whom I had heard of, and I decided to put my hope in him. So Peter asked Jesus
I surrendered my boat to him and listened to him.
If you lose your hopes and dreams of life, you lose everything. More important than the environment is our mind. So Sung Kyung Eun Woo
He said to Lee, {More than anything else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life} (Proverbs 4:23).
Hearing the word of God gives us courage and hope (Psalm 119:49-50).
Joseph, who was called “the dreamer,” could eventually become the prime minister of Egypt because he took the word of God as a guide for his life.
It was.
Third, miracles occur when we obey the Word.
God's miracles happen when we obey the Lord's Word. Jesus will perform the miracle of raising Lazarus from the dead
He said, “Did I not say that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?” (John 11:40). we do
Faith and obedience are necessary to see the glory of everyday life and experience the miracles of life.
To Peter, who heard the words of Jesus and had a dream of hope, Jesus said,
He said, "Go into the deep and let down your nets." The common sense of fishermen is that they catch fish in the Sea of Galilee in broad daylight.
It was impossible. For when they let down their nets from the Sea of Galilee, clear as grains of glass, the fish are not blind.
Because they see the net and run away. But Peter believed in Jesus and, relying on His words, went into the deep.
lowered the net. As a result, Peter was able to catch countless fish through a miracle that transcends common sense.
In this way, God gives blessings according to our obedience rather than our ability (1 Samuel 15:22). Judge Gidodo Midian and cheap
Tens of thousands of thousands of people were obeyed God's command to lead only 300 out of the 32,000 soldiers who had gathered for the rain.
I was able to win the battle against the enemy of
Fourth, miracles occur when we give up our greed.
Human greed is a factor that blocks the path of God's miracles. {But it is that each one is tempted, drawn away by his own lust,
It is delusion; when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death” (James 1:14-15).
Peter was not greedy. After miraculously catching a lot of fish, he did not try to satisfy his greed alone.
All. He called on his colleagues to make sure that this benefit also goes to them. If Peter had his own greed,
Had I been concerned, the net would have ripped and all the fish I caught would have been lost. But he shares with his comrades
By begging and sleeping, their stomachs were also filled with meat.
Miracles should benefit many. As the gifts of the Holy Spirit edify the church and benefit everyone, so miracles
should benefit everyone around you. Also, miracles appear in various forms depending on the person receiving the gift.
And it happens when we pray (Mark 9:29).
Fifth, what is the purpose of performing miracles?
The purpose of God's miracles for us is to give faith to those who do not have faith (John 2:11).
Therefore, miracles are a means of gaining faith and should not be the goal of our faith.
Also, God works miracles to make us devotees. Experience the miracles of Jesus
Just as Peter forsook everything and followed the Lord, miracles make us devotees. Accordingly, the Bible
{Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid, from now on you will take men."
He left everything and followed Jesus” (Luke 5:10-11).
In addition, God works miracles for the glory of God (John 15:8) and for the happiness of the saints.
(John 2:1-9).
Miracles still happen today. Therefore, we should expect and believe in God's miracles. how are we
No matter what circumstances we are in, when we earnestly hope and expect God, God will work miracles for us for the good of the community.
you release
By experiencing the miracles of God, you all receive new strength and new hope, and have stronger faith,
I bless you in the name of the Lord that you may become a saint who pleases the Lord, and a saint who lives a happy life.
