The Father's Glory through Miracles in the Name of the Son 12-4-07

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name be glorified in my heart and throughout my day. … "Very truly I tell you, the one who believes in Me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in My name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in My name you ask Me for anything, I will do it" (John 14:12-14). Father, You receive glory when we ask and receive in the name of Jesus. Lord Jesus, You do what we ask in Your name to bring glory to our Father. Holy Spirit of the Living God, You move in the hearts of those who believe in Jesus to ask the things Jesus would ask and to do the works Jesus would do, all in the power and authority of His name. Father and Son, abiding in us by the Holy Spirit, You are honored and glorified by our prayers and our obedience in the name of Jesus. "Those who love Me will keep My word, and My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them" (John 14:23). Through the spiritual gifts of words of knowledge, miracles, and healing, You healed many people yesterday during our school of ministry led by Randy Clark in Tucson, Arizona. The Holy Spirit was welcomed, the name of Jesus was exalted, and our Father was glorified. We erupted in praise when You opened the deaf ear of a man who had a fever when he was a little boy and had been deaf in that ear all his life. Many others testified to the immediate release of pain and other signs of healing and freedom in the presence of Your glory. And we are expecting more and more as Your name is glorified in our hearts, in our land, and throughout the earth (Habakkuk 2:14). Miracles are a means of Your grace to reveal Your glory and bring people to faith in Christ. It was after Your first miracle of changing the water into wine at a wedding celebration that Your first disciples believed in You. "Jesus did this, the first of His signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed His glory; and His disciples believed in Him" (John 2:11). Your miracles are for the sake of bringing people to salvation. And the world needs that as much today as ever before. In these days, You are increasing an awakening of faith and a revelation of Your glory throughout the earth. Instead of focusing on what You're not doing, we're learning to focus on what You are doing. You are empowering Your church to display Your nature and glorify Your name and our Father through our prayers. "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit and become My disciples" (John 15:7-8). Your kingdom is coming and Your will is being done -- more and more as we believe and obey -- on earth as it is in heaven. And the glory of the Son is the glory of the Father, now being glorified through us (John 17:1). "The glory that You have given Me, I have given them, so that they may be one, as We are one, I in them and You in Me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me (John 17:22-23). As the old song says, "Glorify Thy name in all the earth!" In Jesus name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
