Why Ask for God's Manifestation? (08/08/04)

Text: Jeremiah 29:13

Introduction.

  • This verse is part of the letter that Jeremiah sent to his people in the Babylon.
  • In the text we have the beginning established by God.
  • Miracles are not the rule in the Kingdom of God.
  • Jesus did not pass 3 years only performing miracles.
  • Then miracles are exception. But they happen.
  • Thousands of Christians a day find Jesus as Savior, that is miracle.
  • But many times they never experienced a special manifestation of God in theirs lives.
  • The Bible narrate experiences of persons that sought and found God’s manifestation in theirs lives.
A) Elijah.
  • You find the history of Elijah on chapter 3 of II Kings.
  • 21 miracles that revealed wisdom and the power of God.
  • Religion in Israel was at war. The people worshiped Bali.
  • The miracles of Elijah had the same characteristics of Jesus’ miracles. "They were always in aid of the others."
  • Let’s see only 3.
    1 - II Kings 4: 1-7. Increase the widow’s oil. Applying today: Proverbs 10: 22.
    2 - II Kings 4: 8-10 and 14-17. To Shunammite (foreigner) sterile. Twice achieved by a special manifestation of God.
    3- II Kings 13:20-21. Blessings even after death.
  • Persons leave material inheritance. Others, spiritual inheritance.
  • Spiritual inheritance are left by the ones who experienced manifestations of God in their lives.
B) Jairus and the woman that had blood loss.
  • Mark 5: 21-42.
  • The girl was 12 old years. The was woman sick for 12 years. Time: Greatest enemy of hope. Abraham waited 25 years for a son. The man at the well of Bethesda, waited 38 years for a cure.
  • Pr. R. Gondim: "Faith at times is to seek the blessing (woman) Other times, faith is to speak and to wait (Jairus)."

Conclusion.

  • Why seek as says Jeremiah did? 29:13
  • Why desire a special manifestation of God in our lives?
1. We get to know the grandeur of the God that we serve. He is working, he invites us to join Him. We enter a crisis of Faith. But we obey. Then we have the experiences.
2. We give witness with confidence. The woman blood stream, prisoner in her home for 12 years. Gives her testimony in the plaza. Jairus, a public man, receives the miracle in the bedroom of his home. The entire city has knowledge of it.
  • The Bible contains the history of persons that saw the manifestation of The Lord.
  • The heavens itself "tore over them" and to blessings came completely.
  • Lets seek today a special manifestation of God in our lives.
  • Which area of your life is in need of this manifestation?
