If you Desire that God use you in the Miraculous…

1. Make a holy covenant with God that you will ALWAYS give Him the glory for every miracle that He does. Glorify HIM and never credit "my faith" or "my anointing.”

2. Never use the miracles that God does to draw attention to yourself or to your ministry. Share these things with people only to point to our Lord Jesus, to glorify Him, or to encourage others to have faith in God.

3. Never use or exploit the ministry of the supernatural for financial gain. Don't use people for money. Never receive money from people for praying for them. Jesus has already paid for their miracle, and they do not need to pay anything. In the New Testament nobody is told to "sow a seed in order to receive a miracle." Jesus took the ticket and paid it all at the whipping post and the cross.

4. Always stay in and with the Word. Don't preach or practice anything that is not found practiced or clearly taught in the New Testament. Don't preach your personal "revelations," just the Word of God. Only God's Word can heal and bring faith to people.

5. Stay close to Jesus through a life of personal fellowship with Him, with prayer and devotion at His feet.

6. Love people and ask God continually to put more compassion in your heart towards people.

7. Do not "compete" against others who have a ministry of miracles and healing. We are not competitors but all on the same team. Speak highly and well of their ministries and how God uses them. Promote others and God will promote you!

8. Be small in your own eyes. Don't use fanciful superlatives when talking about yourself or your own ministry. And remember, you DON'T have to resort to theatrics or be flamboyant or a "Mr. Personality" to be used by God. You are not playing to an audience or building up a fan base; but you are a humble bondservant of Jesus Christ and a servant to His church.

These are just a few keys. Be mindful of these and you will do well and last in the long run.
