Daily Word: Our Part in Miracles Part 2

Yesterday, we examined the miracle of feeding the five thousand. The emphasis was on the role the disciples played in the operation of the miracle. Today, we want to summarize Yeshua's teaching to enable us to be involved in miracles today. Why is this important? It is important so that others will see the hand of Eloheim and also become followers of the Way. If we, the true disciples of YHWH, would act and live the way he has instructed, then we would most likely see many coming to YHWH. The problem is that we spend too much time just trying to get people to agree with us about some particular doctrine. How silly and what a waste of time! Yeshua wants His disciples moving in authority according to His word. Are you ready for such a radical lifestyle or would you rather just play church?

From the verses in Mark 6, we find the following principles:
1. Action is more important than understanding. At one point, the disciples completely misunderstand what is about to happen. Yeshua commands them to feed the five thousand and they check their finances. They are looking for a natural way to obey. Yeshua is operating in the supernatural and He desires us to operate in that realm also.
2. Action is required to receive. At any point in the process, the miracle would have ceased if the disciples quit moving. If they had refused to pass out the food or if they had stopped mid way of the feeding, the miracle would have ceased. Yeshua was requiring them to be involved in the process. Presumably, He could have called down manna from heaven, but He did not. He wanted the disciples to act, see, and then believe. Notice the order. Action first; seeing second; and then comes belief.
3. Yeshua's word directs our actions. This is not a call to individual thinking. This is a call to follow what Yeshua has said. You don't get to decide what miracle you want to perform. You must wait for the command, "to give them something to eat." This can be the most difficult part; the waiting. We are in to big of a hurry to hear the command. We act and then want Yeshua's blessing on what we have decided to do. Wait until you receive the command, and then act, especially if you don't understand it all. Faith is in the action. Faith brings the miracle.

Today, spend time alone with ADONAI. Here the voice of the One who loves your soul. If He gives a command, then act. If you hear no command, still enjoy His presence and let Him know you are available.
