The Gift of the Working of Miracles (3)

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“To another the working of miracles; …” 1 Corinthians 12v10 (KJV)

“He gives one person the power to perform miracles, …” 1 Corinthians 12v10 (NLT)

The Holy Spirit might give the gift of the working of miracles in a situation whereby satanic obstructions need to be removed. I don’t know if you have or know someone who has encountered such a situation before where the enemy was putting up obstructions and the Lord used this gift to bring deliverance and clarity to the situation. Acts 13v6-12 gives the example of where Paul and Barnabas were once sent for by a governor who wanted to hear the word of God. But a sorcerer wanted to turn this governor from the faith. Paul who was filled with the Holy Spirit and through the power of the Spirit was able to make the sorcerer blind for sometime and when “… the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching of the Lord.” (Acts 13v12, NIV). God also used different giftings and as well the working of miracles through His servant Elisha, to help save the Israelites from the plans of the king of Syria (Aram).

Supplementary Text

“Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in such and such a place.” The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there.” So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.” 2 Kings 6v8-9 (NIV) [continued till verse 22]
