Miricles

The speaker begins by praying for the listeners, asking for open hearts and minds. They express gratitude for the support and encourage listeners to take the wisdom shared and bring it to God for discernment. The speaker asks how many listeners feel stuck, burdened, or in need of a miracle, emphasizing that only God can provide those miracles. They use the example of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding to explain that these miracles are symbols of what we are seeking. The speaker encourages listeners to recognize and understand their problems, to stop comparing their lives to others, and to be grateful for what they have. They emphasize the importance of seeking God for power, trusting in Him, and participating in the actions He leads us to take. The speaker encourages listeners to have faith, obedience, and belief in God's ability to perform miracles in their lives. They stress the need to trust, do the work, and surrender their lives to God, assuring that He will set them free Lord, I come before you today and lift up each and every person listening. I ask that you open their ears, their hearts, and their minds, Lord. I lift them up to you and I praise you. I give you glory and I give you thanks because without you, none of this would be possible. And I pray all of this in Jesus name. Amen. Hey there, it's Anna with God's Podcast and I just want to say thank you for coming each week and listening to each episode. I hope that you take what I say, the words and the wisdom that I give you and bring it back to God and pray about it and ask for discernment and open his word so that you can get true understanding of what God is telling you. How many of you feel stuck? How many of you feel like you don't know what to do? How many of you feel like you've been weighted down and are carrying so much on your shoulders? How many of you feel like you need a miracle? I can't hear you. How many of you feel like me? I need so many miracles. And just like in Galatians 6, 8 through 9, only God can give you those miracles. And that comes with patience, trust, faith, obedience, and believing God's going to do it. Going to the Bible, it explains in so many different chapters, Jesus performing miracles. And in John chapter 2, Jesus performs his first miracle. He is attending a wedding with his family. And his mother is the one who asks him for help to turn water into wine. And it's not about the wine. The wine is a symbol. Giving you an example, just like when Jesus tells his disciples to drink from the cup, this is my blood, which I have given to you. It is a symbol, a symbol of Jesus and all he can do for us, all the miracles he can perform for us. It's not about the wine. It's about what Jesus did for us. He went on that cross and died for us, allowing us a second chance, being the symbol of our sin. My point is this, the Bible talks about certain things, but they're symbols of what we are looking for, like the miracle that he performed in John 2, where he turned water into wine. So I want to try to break this down so that it's easier to understand. At least this is what I had to do for myself. First, you must see the problem. And in this chapter, it was his mother who saw the problem. Call it a mom's intuition, if you may. Moms can see things that most of us cannot see. Moms can feel things that most of us do not. At least this mama can. So the question is, can you see the problem, your problem? Maybe you think you can see the problem, but you're missing the problem. Maybe it's the problem behind the problem. Maybe you think your problem is what you are praying for, but you're missing all the miracles right in front of you. Meaning, maybe you need to dig deeper into what you are praying for, and how you are praying for it, if you are trusting God fully in what you are praying for. Which brings me to another example. Are you looking at others' lives and think yours is not enough? You don't have this, you don't have that, or maybe you're wanting your life to be more like someone else's. And that's the problem. Your life is not theirs. Your life is what God has given you. Stop wanting what you think your life is supposed to look like, and be happy with what your life is. I am not saying stop dreaming. Stop becoming a better version of yourself. I am saying stop thinking your life is not good. Stop looking at all the things you don't have, but look at all the things you do have. That is the miracle. Stop yourself from being stuck in where you are. That is the miracle. God gives you the ability to move. God gives you to get whatever is on your shoulders off. God gives you the ability to move. That is the miracle. But you have to be willing to do it. No one else is going to do it for you. The depression, the self-petty, the self-loathing of why me needs to stop. Get out of that mindset. That is not from God. And I know you're thinking, that is easier said than done, Anna. How do I get out of this? How? Anna, how? I got an answer for you, and it's simple. God. God is the answer. Reading his word for wisdom, praying for understanding, and living close in relationship to him, that's the answer. Yes, Anna. You say this every episode. I know. I know. I say this over and over. I know. You're like, but what else? There is no what else. I am telling you, God is the answer. God. Do you hear me? I'm not sure you heard me. God is the answer. He continues to get me through each and every day. God is the only one who can give you the miracle. He is the only one who can break those chains of addiction, the chains of generational curses. God. God chose you. God made you. God loves you no matter what you have done. You are not your past. You are not what someone has done to you. You are not what you have done to others. Stop living in the past. Stop thinking you are unworthy. Stop believing you are not forgiven. God forgives you. God gave his son for you. Do you hear me? God sacrificed his son for you. Stop and think about that. I am a mother. I'm not sure if you who is listening is a parent. And even if you're not, could you sacrifice someone you love for others? Could you sacrifice someone you love, your child, your spouse, your parents, the person you love the most for the sake of others? God did because he loves you. You are not your past. And you are forgiven. So you need to forgive yourself. God will leave the 99 for you because God loves you that much. God has the power. God can make any miracle happen. But you need to seek him for that power. Which brings me to number two. Seek God for the power, for the understanding, for the miracles. You need to seek him. Seek God. And you may think, but I don't see God doing anything. And yes, I hear you. I know how this has felt. But God is working, even when you don't see it. God is working behind the scenes, even if we don't see it. Listen, I know. I've been there. I've been waiting. I've been on the cusp of when is my prayer going to be answered? And I know your prayers are not answered right away or in the manner you want. But God is still working. Working in your patience. Working in your learning and your growing. God is working on your behalf because he loves you. Just like you know wine, it takes time to make it the best tasting, the most perfect. You are like that fine wine. So be patient. Wait upon God because just like it said in Galatians 6, 9, he will answer your prayers. For at the proper time, I will reap a harvest if you do not give up. God's word gives us the answer. You need to trust him. You need to believe in him. And you need to seek him for that power. Going on to number three, you need to seek the participants. Just like in John 2, where Mary goes to Jesus for this miracle and tells him she needs help. She seeks him. She seeks the participants who are going to do what is needed. You need to participate. You need to participate in what God is telling you you need to do. If you need help in your finances, seek God first and foremost. Then get up, do your research, get out and start applying for those jobs. Or you're not going to get your help in that situation. You need to move. You need to get up and move. Trust him and move. Trust him and do whatever God tells you to do. Have faith. Have obedience to what God tells you to do. It may be crazy. It may look like you're crazy. But trust what God is telling you to do. If he's telling you start a business, quit your 9 to 5, spread my word, start a church, do it. God's telling you to do it. You better trust him and be obedient and believe that he knows what he's doing just like it says in Jeremiah 29 11. He will do the things to prosper you, not to hurt you. Which brings me to number four, trust in him and do. Just like I was saying, you need to get up and do. If my God can turn water into wine and did it and is going to do it for me and for you, then you need to trust and do. The Bible talks about miracle after miracle in the Bible. Do you not trust that God loves you that much that he can't make a miracle happen for you? Do you not trust what his word says? If God can do it like he says in the Bible, like he sent his only son for you, what makes you think he can't make miracles happen for you? Trust, believe, seek, and watch him work no matter how long it takes. You are fine, whine. You will take time to make you taste the best, to get to where you are supposed to be. And maybe it won't be as quickly as you want God to answer you. Either way, trust and see and put in the work and take it to the master. He has you. He will get you through. He will break all those chains. He will renew you. Lay your life at his feet. Surrender your life over and over daily. He will set you free and make miracles happen in your life. Lay it down and keep moving. You are not alone. I am here and so is God. Say this right now. Lord God, I am here in front of you and I surrender my life to you. I surrender my heart to you. I surrender my soul to you. I cannot do this alone and I surrender it all to you. Clear my mind, clear my heart, and I trust you, Lord. I believe you will make miracles happen in my life, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen. I just want to say thank you. Thank you for listening to what God has put upon my heart. I hope this helps you. I hope this can help someone else in need because we all need God. So please share this with someone you feel can use God's encouragement today or to hear from God. I want to say, until next episode, keep bibling. Keep spreading God's word. Seek the problem, seek the power, seek the participants, and trust in him and he will do. Lord, as I come before you today, I lift up each and every person listening, Lord. Whatever they may be going through, wherever they may be stuck, Lord, I ask you to guide them, to give them wisdom, to help them get up and move. Lord, I want to thank you. I want to praise you. I want to glorify you because without you, none of this is possible. I thank you, I love you, I praise you, and I pray all of this in Jesus' name, amen. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
