30th Strategy.
Are Miracles Involved?
​

• Enter your time with the LORD in prayer.
• Read the entire passage.
• If there is a miracle in the passage, stop and re-read it.
• Continue through the entire passage.
• After reading the passage through one time, go back and find the part/parts describing the miracle in the passage.
• Read two verses or more before the miracle of the passage.
• Read two verses or more after the miracle of the passage.
• In re-reading the verses surrounding the miracle of the passage, did you find a conflict occurring because of the miracle?
• If you did, write down the conflict. What brings this conflict up. Is it due to people? People in power? People in darkness? People in anger? Ask God to allow you to ponder the reasons given for the conflict.
• If you did not find conflict, ask yourself if you yourself would have been convinced by the miracle.
• Do you see miracles and pass them by?
• Ask God to broaden your vision for the miracles in your world.
• Thank Him for His guidance and praise Him for His words.

13. As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns.
14. Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15. That evening the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves."

16. But Jesus said, "That isn't necessary — you feed them."

17. "But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!" they answered.

18. "Bring them here," he said. 
19. Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people.
20. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.
21. About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children!
Matthew 14:13-21 NLT
