Miracles don’t create the message. The message makes way for the miracle.
Acts 8:6 tells us, "The crowds gathered and were paying close attention to everything Philip said, as they heard [the message] and saw the [miraculous] signs which he was doing [validating his message]."
People were drawn in first by what they heard, and then by what they saw.
Miracles confirm what’s already true. The disciples saw so many because they lived like Heaven was already here. They didn’t wait for a big sign to prove God was real—they believed it, walked in it, and miracles naturally followed.
Think about it: In the Kingdom, there’s no sickness, no lack—just wholeness. And when we live with that reality in mind, it changes everything. We stop passively waiting for God to move and start walking in the expectation that He already is.
Mark 16:20 says, "And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word by the signs that followed."
The signs came after they preached. They didn’t chase miracles—they chased Jesus, and miracles followed.
So, what if we lived like that? What if we spoke truth boldly and trusted that God would back it up? What if we carried an unshakable faith that Heaven’s reality is already breaking into ours?
I think we'd see more of what we’re longing for—not because we’re striving for miracles, but because we’re fully anchored in the One who makes them happen.
Preach! So good. I strive for this.
