In September of 2019, God said to me, “It’s time for miracles!” Yes, it’s always time for miracles, but when He declares something like that, He’s letting us know what He’s emphasizing, and what He’s emphasizing will have a greater flow of grace and revelation. When God makes a decree, there comes a grace and revelation available to fulfill that decree. A miracle can be received anytime, but now a grace, a window, is open for there to be a greater flow of miracles.
Miracles can be received anytime we release our faith for them, but when there’s a grace (an anointing) for miracles, then miracles will seem to be “in the air.” There will be an ease and a greater flow to them.
God is letting us know what HE’S emphasizing so WE will know what to emphasize. He is letting us know what we are to become skillful with.
Jesus wants to say to us all, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” He’s looking particularly for two things in our lives and in our serving – that we be good and faithful. If a man is good at his job, he’s skillful. He won’t be promoted if he’s not good at his job. So we could say it this way, “Well done, thou SKILLFUL and faithful servant.”
In the 1990s, Ed had a vision of Jesus when fire shot out of His eyes. Jesus said to him, “You’re not being SKILLFUL with the healing anointing!” Lack of skill displeased Him. Without skill, we don’t receive, and others don’t receive. We are to have skill in receiving from God and skill in ministering to others.
Oral Roberts stated, “Every day miracles are coming to you or going past you!” So we need to become skillful at cooperating with miracle power so miracles don’t just pass us by.
When Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus was coming down the road, he called out. Because he called out in faith, believing that Jesus would do something for him, POWER (JESUS) stopped – it didn’t pass him by. Jesus wasn’t headed to Blind Bartimaeus, but He went where faith put Him. God goes where faith puts Him. The call of faith will call for miracles and receive them.
In an excerpt from Kenneth E. Hagin’s book, I Believe In Visions, Jesus said to Brother Hagin that this is the last great revival. He went on to say, "All the gifts of the Spirit will be in operation in the Church in these last days, and the Church will do greater things than even the Early Church did. It will have greater power, signs, and wonders than were recorded in the Acts of the Apostles." He said that we have seen and experienced many healings, but we will now behold amazing miracles that have not been seen before. Jesus continued, "More and more miracles will be performed in the last days which are just ahead, for it is time for the gift of the working of miracles.”
He stated, “Many of My own people will not accept the moving of My Spirit and will turn back and will not be ready to meet Me at My coming. Many will be deceived by false prophets and miracles of satanic origin. But follow the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and Me, and you will not be deceived. I am gathering My own together and am preparing them, for the time is short.”
It’s time for miracles! It’s time to grow in greater skill toward God’s power. It’s time to move with the Spirit in a greater way, because the greatest days of the Church are ahead of us!
