The Birthing of
Miracles

Prophetic
Encouragement
During two thousand and ten (2010) we will see the
multiplication of the miraculous works of God. As He raises up a great company
of women (Psalm 68:11), he is also bringing men alongside, so spiritual
procreation and the birthing of dreams will be naturally supernatural.
Jesus came to give life … abundantly, and life is created by
division and multiplication. When a baby develops, the cells divide and
multiply to form "the dream." Even Elohiym divided Himself, so He could
multiply Himself. He's still doing that today, multiplying Himself as He forms
Christlikeness in His believers, so they can cover the earth with the knowledge
of His glory.
I love how our Heavenly Father never gives up on us! The Word
says in Galatians 4:19, "My little children, of
whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you." Beloved,
Holy Spirit is hovering over His people; the power of the Highest is waiting
for the full gestation of miraculous seeds deposited in the spiritual wombs of
many. It's time for holy deliveries to come forth!
Devotional
Teaching
Unfortunately, the oneness needed for procreation of
miracles has sometimes been absent in the body of Christ - namely, that of male
and female serving in unity. As you know, Jesus and the Father are one. So it
is that we actually only reach our true individuality when we are merged with
one another. A paradox, indeed. But Jesus said, "The glory which You have given Me I have given to
them, that they may be one, just as We are one (John 17:22). Therefore, we are not created to live and function
independently, but interdependently. In fact, the church itself was birthed out
of unity with 120 people [male and female] in the Upper Room.
During this season of restoration, miraculous seeds in the
spiritual wombs of God's people are waiting to explode with good news. But, as
with any delivery, the proper timing and position is crucial. So, as a great
company of women prepare to deliver the dreams of God, it's important they are
covered and nurtured by men of God. As one, for one!
Friends, if it has seemed dark for awhile, be still as the
Creator overshadows thee. Ponder His
dreams in your heart.
Run with Your Dreams
As we walk into a season of fruitfulness, remember it's
important to find someone to share the dreams of God with. Of course, we don't
share with any who might try to kill the firstborn. Rather, we find those whom
we trust, with like-mindedness. Do you recall how the Virgin Mary hurried to
I'm saddened when I hear people speak of their dreams, often
with prophetic words hovering over them, but they haven't done anything with
them. Friends, let's be as Mary - hear the Word of God, believe, pray … and
then get off our knees and on our feet and run to live out the promise! Let's
also be mindful that those whom God is bringing around us may be spiritual midwives.
They may be the ones God is sending to help protect the "baby," as with Moses
in Exodus 1.
As you pray to step into the birthing of your miracle(s),
let's look at some processes necessary in order for the grand event to take
place.
Preparation
First of all, preparation is crucial. If the baby/dream is
too small, the Lord may have you wait until it grows in hiddenness - in the
womb of God. He may bring others around to feed and nurture the dream, infusing
it with love to generate miracle growth.
If the baby/dream is too big, the Great Physician may bring
more support. The deliverer [you] must stay in peace, so coaching from trusted
individuals is very important. Focus, focus, focus on Jesus!
Let's say, for example, a huge dream is deposited in a small
church/ministry - then the body there must stay in unity, as there is strength
in numbers. It's through their intercession that hindrances are pushed aside so
the birthing is smooth.
Do not despise small beginnings, beloved. Remember, everything
you see now was hidden at one time until it was birthed. Dreams are fashioned
into the seen from the unseen. So, as you ponder these things in your heart, can
you visualize the beautiful baby/dream so it can be seen? Try thinking of your
sanctified imagination as your Heavenly Father's ultrasound pictures.
Position
Humility is the perfect position for any miracle to be born.
Who knows, perhaps you'll be led to a little stable rather than a state-of-the-art
delivery center. Humble beginnings are of God … even the Son of God emptied
Himself and became poor for our sakes. In other words, He laid aside the glory;
He voluntarily placed restraint on the power of His Father. He knew He must
accept hardship, isolation, mistreatment and misunderstanding; He was sent as Love
for unlovely men. He came so that through His poverty we might become rich.
Look at Elijah's position. Certainly his humble posture in I
Kings 18 is no coincidence. The inspired Word shows us an important position in
birthing. It's called prayer! Going low and staying low is extremely significant
with Christ Himself, as with Elijah.
In I Kings we see Elijah bent
over. He was praying for showers of blessing to return to
And what about Moses, the most humble man on earth, who led
two or three million people?
I'm telling you, friends, the revival that's coming will
take mega grace to sustain, so it must be lead by the humble, as we know God
gives grace to the humble.
Only Believe
Luke 1:37 says, "Nothing will
be impossible with God." Alleluia - expectation is the greenhouse
for miracles. There may be times during pregnancy of
vision that we cry out, "Lord, I believe;
help thou mine unbelief!" (Mark 9:24) That's okay. The Lord knows waiting can be uncomfortable
and difficult, but don't give up!! God's timing is perfect and HE always
delivers His promises. He is not a man that He can lie.
While waiting, remember it's crucial to speak words of life over your dreams not vice versa. Remember
Zacharias in Luke one. He was a priest of the Jewish temple. He and Elizabeth
were very holy people. They had prayed for children, but had never been able to
have a child. Now, they were too old.
Then, the angel Gabriel appeared. Zacharias was afraid, but
the angel said to him,
Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard,
and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name
John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For
he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor,
and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother's womb. And
he will turn many of the sons of
Zacharias should have had faith and given thanks to God for
the good news, but he was not convinced. He told the angel that he and
Elizabeth were too old to bear a child. Due to his lack of faith, the angel
told Zacharias he would be unable to speak until his son was born. Now, we know
that the power of life is in the tongue, so Zacharias was no longer allowed to
speak words of death. He was muted, as God would not let unbelief be released.
Taking a position of belief
as well as staying seated in heavenly places is crucial to the birthing of
miracles. Where are we seated? According to Ephesians 2:6, in heavenly places. My,
what a safe place to be, so your dreams are not thwarted or prevented by
earthly hindrances. Beloved, are you in the right position for life/revival to
be birthed?
Push, Push, Push
In the natural, pregnancy can be fun and exciting during the
first few months. We want to run and share our joy with friends and family. We sing,
dance and decree a thing so it shall be established (Job 22:28). Ah, but the
final stages seem so very difficult. No more dancing, no more running; in fact,
just bending over to tie our shoes seems to take lots of effort.
Spiritual birthing can be like that, too. Oh, but beloved,
do not grow weary in doing well. For in Isaiah
66:9 (NIV), the Word shows us we serve a God who delivers. It says,
"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?"
says the Lord. "Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?" says your
God.
"Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to
bring forth?"
Beloved, I say to you today, even when it's difficult and
takes a lot of effort - push, push, push! For what happens if the dreams of God
are not delivered? How sad that His purposes would not be fulfilled. How sad
that a touch of heaven was not brought to earth because someone gave up.
Stay connected to a heavenly umbilical cord and feed your
spirit so your dreams are nourished, friends. The world needs the multiplication
of miracles. Devastated nations need a couple loaves of bread and some fishes.
Now is the time, this is the hour for the church to shine for Jesus.
