Faith in the Bible creates faith in the miraculous

He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. (John 14:12 NKJV)

 I cannot understand how anyone cannot believe in miracles, when the Bible contains so many accounts of miracles. Well, those miracles did happen just like the Bible says they did, and in every case it took two elements: the power of God and someone’s faith. The power of God hasn’t changed, so you can expect to see miracles today.
 Faith in the Bible creates faith in the miraculous. The Bible not only reveals the acts of the supernatural God, but it also imparts faith to anyone who reads it with an open heart. The Bible has a miraculous, transforming effect on our lives, and that gives us faith for other miracles. Faith in God and His Son Jesus Christ, faith in the Christ of the Bible, makes for faith in our everyday lives. That’s because real faith believes in the changeless Christ and His power.
 If Jesus is “the same yesterday, today, and forever,” (Hebrews 13:8) why is it so hard to believe that He, in answer to prayer, can do the same kinds of miracles today?
 Wherever you find real faith manifested, you will find miracles. If you live in His Word, if you dig out His promises and build your faith on them, if you trust Him to keep His word even when it seems impossible, you’ll see God at work in the realm of the supernatural. —V.B. Berg [1]

 It is great to be faced with the impossible, for nothing is impossible if one is meant to do it. —Amy Carmichael
