There is a miracle with your name on it.
"Jesus said, “Our friend Lazarus is now sleeping, but I am going there to wake him.” John 11:11 (ERV)
"It’s never too late to see a promise fulfilled in your life. What was a no yesterday can be a yes tomorrow. God's not done with everything He's going to do this year. Get ready for a last minute miracle!" Watch John Gray's inspiring sermon "Last Minute Miracle" at Lakewood Church on YouTube.
Pastor John Gray of Relentless Church is believing for a last minute miracle, He said recently in a sermon at Lakewood Church. He believes the last days of this year will be the best yet and some amazing things will start happening before this decade ends - and he is inviting people to get excited in expectant anticipation alongside him. Pastor John talks of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead after three days(!) In John 11:11 (GNT) Jesus says, “Lazarus, our friend, has just fallen asleep. It’s time that I go and awaken him.” His disciples thought He meant Lazarus was asleep, but He told them Lazarus was dead. “And for your sake”, He said, “I’m glad I wasn’t there, because now you have another opportunity to see who I am so that you will learn to trust in me.” (verse 14) (Jesus wants us to trust Him!) Jesus deliberately waited until Lazarus was “good and dead” before going to “wake him”. He could easily have healed Lazarus from afar before he died, but He wanted to use raising Lazarus to show His mighty power and so that God would get the glory (after three days, Lazarus was too far gone in death to have been raised by any earthly power!) If Jesus can do that for Lazarus He most definitely has the power to raise any Lazarus in all our lives. And that means you too. Jesus can bring back to life in a last minute miracle (before this year ends) any situation that seems too far gone to save. “God is picking last minute moments in your life to shock and surprise you with miracles signs and wonders and when he finishes what he's doing in your life, the only one that will get the glory and the credit is God himself. The only thing you're going to be able to say (before this year is out) is only God could have done this,” says Pastor John.
A lot Christians, like John Gray, have been saying that 2020 is not going to be just another year. The next decade is going to be a decade of growing clarity. 2020 = 20/20 = perfect vision. People will see Jesus more clearly. There will be more miracles, revelations and breakthroughs than ever before. The future's looking bright, but God is still not done with 2019 yet, because He is preparing for a decade of perfect vision. We have some days left of 2019 and there can be a miracle or breakthrough any minute of any one of those days. Now that’s exciting. It may be time to finish some old things and start some new things, to get us ready for a decade of new blessings. That friend of yours that’s fogging your view of God with their opinions that don’t sit well with you; that relationship that’s clouding up your vision of God with tears and arguments: God may be saying it’s time to let them go, so you can see Him more clearly. God wants the best for you in 2020 and your life can change in a miracle moment, because God is the master of the perfectly timed miracle.
John Gray prayed: “We need miracles to be released. We need supernatural adjudication in our favor. We need you to remove devils and we need you to open up the windows of heaven and I need you to open a door that no man can shut then I need you to shut some doors that no man can open then. I want you to send Michael the Archangel and I need you to let him war on our behalf. I need you to do things so profound that only you will be able to get the credit for it. And so Lord as I pray let faith rise in this church and around the world and we give you the honor that you are worthy of and it is in the name of Jesus Christ that I pray these things. Amen. Amen. And amen.”
What has the last decade been like for you? Will you fondly reminisce over it as a decade of joy, or will you be glad to see the back of a decade of pain? Has it been a decade of clarity, or a decade of feeling lost and confused? Friend, whatever the last decade has been like for you, this new decade has a clean slate and endless possibilities. If it feels like you’ve been wandering in a wilderness or desert this decade, God is preparing new things for you in 2020 and making ways where no man could ever make a way. (Isaiah 43:19) If you are needing a miracle, start getting ready to receive it as of now, because it’s coming. Keep your faith strong, maintain your hope, keep praising out loud, because that miracle has your name on it. PRAYER: Lord, if anyone reading this is needing a miracle, I want to stand alongside them in saying they can have that miracle. May they receive what they need. May You meet them and their families with whatever miracle they need, be it health, finances or release from strongholds in their lives. May they see the “goodness of the Lord in the land of the living” before this year is over. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
