Understanding Spiritual Gifts: The Gift of Miracles… In Under 10 Minutes
WELCOME to Issue #203 of The Seedhead from Alex and Hannah at Dandelion Resourcing - a weekly confidence booster to help you step into naturally supernatural discipleship and mission!
The spiritual gift of miracles is a less common kind of God's activity, in which He arouses people's awe and wonder and bears witness to Himself.
There are many examples of miraculous signs recorded throughout the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments. Through Jesus, believers are empowered to pray for miracles in the lives of others around us.
The Bible example we talk about in the video is from Mark 4:39-40, when Jesus stood up in the boat and rebuked the wind and the waves. What’s especially interesting is the short, clear, even abrupt way that He spoke to the waves: “Quiet! Be still!”
There’s obviously a great authority represented in those punchy words. Note that they are effective commands due to Jesus’ submission to the filling of the Holy Spirit. In other words, they are not just something that only God can do, but rather a model for all believers in Jesus.
He in fact underscores that amazing reality in the very next verse. “He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’”
A life that sees miracles take place is something that all of us can ask for and grow towards. Of course, we must be saying ‘yes’ to Kingdom-advancing situations where we’re utterly dependent on some supernatural intervention! Hence, miracles and faith are often closely tied together as spiritual giftings.
In this video Alex shares a time when he saw supernatural multiplication of gasoline while on a missions trip in rural Siberia!

Next Steps
Obedience to God’s invitations is often the fastest way into seeing more miraculous moments occurring for or through you. This starts in the small things. Think of 3 ways where you can up your speed of obedience, or depth of obedience, in the little things that Jesus is asking of you.
Miracles also tend to be needed in the places of greatest risk. Where have you dialed back your faith into something less risky and more manageable that’s within your own resources and existing experiences?

Having your own stories of miraculous signs is not a crazy objective!
