Summary

During this Miracle Week teaching, Dr. R.A. Vernon encourages believers to build high expectation for God's supernatural power while embracing the present moment. Rather than living trapped in regret over past mistakes or lost time, God offers us the "gift of now" to move forward in faith. Through participatory faith and active obedience to divine instructions, believers create space for God to meet their greatest physical, emotional, relational, and financial needs.

Miracles and BreakthroughActive ObedienceOvercoming RegretParticipatory FaithGod as Provider and Healer

Key Points

1.
God is actively working miracles today, performing what human effort and natural ability cannot achieve.
2.
Miracles are not merely God's emergency response to crisis, but a direct expression of the Father's love and character.
3.
Lingering in regret over past mistakes cannot change yesterday, but receiving the "gift of now" allows God to redeem your life.
4.
Active obedience is frequently the catalyst that unlocks divine breakthrough and supernatural intervention.
5.
As shown through the healing of the ten lepers who were made whole "as they went," faith acts on God's instructions before seeing the final result.
6.
Believers are often just one act of Spirit-led obedience away from walking into a brand new realm of miracle.
7.
Spiritual growth and deliverance are participatory, requiring us to actively co-labor with God rather than wait passively.
8.
God reveals Himself as Jehovah Jireh (our Provider) and Jehovah Rapha (our Healer) to meet every physical, emotional, relational, and financial need.

Sermon Moments

“God won't do what we won't do, but God will do what we can't do.”

“Miracles are not just God's response to crisis; miracles are an expression of the Father's love.”

“If regret could help me, I would regret every day. Yesterday's gone and tomorrow's not promised. All you have is now.”

“God can do a miracle even when I didn't do my part, if I commit to Him now and say, 'God, I need you to redeem the time.'”

“They were healed as they went. Some people want the miracle without going.”

“I need to participate in my own deliverance. I'm not just waiting for God, I'm working with God.”

“Sometime you're one instruction away from a miracle. Obeying one instruction could place you in a whole another realm.”

This Week

Let go of past financial or personal mistakes and embrace the "gift of now" rather than dwelling in regret.

Identify a specific divine instruction God has placed on your heart and take an immediate step of obedience.

Engage in participatory faith by moving forward in action ("as you go") rather than passively waiting for breakthrough.

Bring your specific personal, relational, emotional, and physical health needs to God, trusting Him as Jehovah Rapha.

Present your financial needs to God, trusting Him as Jehovah Jireh to provide for and sustain your family.

Practice spirit-led generosity and obedience, giving as an act of faith rather than out of routine or obligation.

Surround yourself with faith leaders and believers who elevate your faith and encourage supernatural expectation.

Remember This

Release past regrets and embrace the gift of today, knowing that stepping out in active obedience opens the door for God to work miracles in your life.
