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.

31. Jesus left Tyre and went up to Sidon before going back to the Sea of Galilee and the region of the Ten Towns.
32. A deaf man with a speech impediment was brought to him, and the people begged Jesus to lay his hands on the man to heal him.

33. Jesus led him away from the crowd so they could be alone. He put his fingers into the man's ears. Then, spitting on his own fingers, he touched the man's tongue.
34. Looking up to heaven, he sighed and said, "Ephphatha," which means, "Be opened!"
35. Instantly the man could hear perfectly, and his tongue was freed so he could speak plainly!

36. Jesus told the crowd not to tell anyone, but the more he told them not to, the more they spread the news.
37. They were completely amazed and said again and again, "Everything he does is wonderful. He even makes the deaf to hear and gives speech to those who cannot speak."
Mark 7:31-17NLT
