Believing God Can Do What He Says He Can Do!

WONDERS NEVER CEASE

3 John 1:2
Dear Friend, I pray that you may enjoy
good health and that all may go well with you,
even as your soul is getting along well.

God has never ceased showing off His wonders. Although our local news channels prefer to sensationalize disaster and do not report on wonders, that doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. The interesting thing is that believers in Third World countries report of them often. This could be because of a greater need, however, I would suggest that faith is much more apparent in those poorer countries.

The work God has begun in the Middle East is nothing less than staggering. It appears that the primary way Christ is revealing Himself to Muslims is through dreams. Many Christians in the field are reporting that when the time to witness finally presents itself, many of those who accept Christ do so because the encounter confirms their dreams. In many of the dreams, Christ Himself appeared to them, telling them that He was the Son of God and that they could confidently believe.

Following are some examples from the Bible:

Genesis 20:1-7
1 And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and stayed in Gerar. 2 Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, "She is my sister." And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "Indeed you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is a man's wife." 4 But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also? 5 "Did he not say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she, even she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this." 6 And God said to him in a dream, "Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 "Now therefore, restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours."

Daniel 2:1-3; 24-30
1 Now in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was so troubled that his sleep left him. 2 Then the king gave the command to call the magicians, the astrologers, the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king. 3 And the king said to them, "I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to know the dream."
24 Therefore Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said thus to him: "Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon; take me before the king, and I will tell the king the interpretation." 25 Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king, and said thus to him, "I have found a man of the captives of Judah, who will make known to the king the interpretation." 26 The king answered and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen, and its interpretation?" 27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, "The secret which the king has demanded, the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, and the soothsayers cannot declare to the king. 28 "But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these: 29 "As for you, O king, thoughts came to your mind while on your bed, about what would come to pass after this; and He who reveals secrets has made known to you what will be. 30 "But as for me, this secret has not been revealed to me because I have more wisdom than anyone living, but for our sakes who make known the interpretation to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your heart.

According to Acts 2:17, “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all the people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”

We are challenged to believe God’s Word over what our eyes have seen. The lack of supernatural intervention could very well be a result of a stronghold of unbelief.
