BREAKOUT | Crosstraining 8.10.12

Read James 1:19-27 OBEDIENCE ALWAYS PRECEDES THE MIRACULOUS

• Noah had to build the ark for the coming flood in order to find safety.
• Abraham had to leave his familiar surroundings to discover a new dream.
• Moses had to stretch out his hands over the red sea to experience deliverance.
• Esther had to boldly go into the King’s presence before God rescued his people.
• The ten lepers had to make their way to the priest before they were healed.
• The blind man had to go wash in the pool before Jesus gave him sight.
• The four men had to open the roof to let their sick friend down at Jesus’ feet.
• Paul and Silas had to sing and pray while they were stuck in jail so that God could shake the building and give them hope in the midst of hopelessness.

If you want to see God do a miracle in your life, the first step is always obedience to what God has asked you to do. God won’t show up in our life in a big way unless we’ve shown we can be faithful to Him in the small things. What are some of the things in your life that you haven’t been obedient to God with? Start your breakthrough by being obedient to God in those things and pray that God will do the miraculous in your life.]]>
