It Begins With A Tree: Expecting Miracles 0:00 Hello, pray dot com audience. My name is Isabelle Bowling. I'm Marilyn Hickey's granddaughter, and I am so honored to get to share today's teaching with you. We're so excited that you are engaging with our content here0:11 on the pray dot com app. And whether you've been engaging with us for years or this is your very first time, I know that today's teaching will bless you. Marilyn Hickey Ministries is an intergenerational ministry0:21 committed to covering the earth with the word, and that includes encouraging every single 1 of you to get into the word of God today. My grandmother always says, it's not over until you win, which means no matter what0:33 you're going through, if you have not seen the victory, you are not done with your story. I wanna encourage you, get in the word, buckle down, continue to believe and intercede for your victory, and join today's0:44 teaching. It will bless you enormously.0:49 So this morning, God has a miracle for you. Stand up for a moment. Say, I believe. I believe. God has a miracle for me. I believe. God has a miracle for me. I have a miracle for me. This is June 20 third. This is June 201:02 third. My miracle day. My miracle day. Amen. Amen. So let's get focused on what you're gonna believe for because I'm telling you the word that I'm bringing forth this morning, the Holy Spirit is bringing forth has a1:14 miracle for you. So put your hand on your heart again. Say I'm receiving I'm receiving. The miracle that God has for me. Amen. And you know, I think1:25 the balcony is gonna get an extra bonus. I think the overflow is gonna come up there. So I'm so glad you're here. You can be seated. Now Jesus, I1:37 love this about Jesus. He wants to be in the middle of everything. And I think sometimes, and those of you watching on television, I want you to really get this in your spirit. I think sometimes we1:49 don't expect him to be in everything. We think we have to settle the problems, but he wants to be in the middle of your life. And so when you look here, you see2:01 that there was a tree in the middle of the Garden of Eden. There actually there were 2 trees. There was a tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and the tree of life. Now2:13 that tree of life could have given them eternal life, they would have never died, but they made the wrong choice. They took the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but that tree of2:25 life was available for them. That's in Genesis. So what did Jesus come to give us? Did he come to make you sad? Did he come to take things away from you? Did he come and say, you2:37 know, you gotta go through all these things, maybe you'll make it to heaven? No. Jesus came to give us abundant life. Amen? Now look at someone beside you. Say, honey. Honey.2:48 Jesus has abundant life for you. He has abundant life. And so let's really look for him. Look for him in the middle of our circumstances.3:00 So the first 1 I wanted you to see is, and I just follow through the midst things here, is that Jesus was in the midst of the temple when he was around 12 years old,Jesus: Our Wisdom in Confusion 3:12 and he was teaching wisdom. And I love this about Jesus, sometimes we think, I don't have a clue what to do. How do I handle this? What do I do? And you just3:24 feel confused and so you try with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from your own experience to figure it out. But Jesus is made unto us wisdom.3:36 Is that true? Yes. And so if we can say, hey, I want your wisdom. I believe there's abundant wisdom for me in this situation. Now while we were in China, and this is3:48 extremely exciting to me, you know we have a man who has a tour company, David. And some years ago, maybe 7 years ago, I got to lead4:00 his wife to the Lord. He was a Christian, but I got to lead Jessica to the Lord. She was a Buddhist, received Jesus, they couldn't have children, and you know, we prayed that God would give them children,4:12 now they have 2. And so they said, could you water baptize us as adults while you're here? And could you dedicate our children? Well, how to do it? You4:24 know, we're in a nice hotel, they have a swimming pool, but I don't know if the government will be just slap happy. If we go out in that open pool, you know, with other Chinese4:36 and baptize in the name of Jesus and all of our group goes out there and we get happy, we could get thrown out. So, wisdom. Jesus is made unto us wisdom.4:48 So I said, Lord what shall I do? He said, well do you have a shower? Well yeah, I have a shower. So I text David and Jessica, I said bring a change of clothes we're gonna baptize in5:00 the shower. Now that's the first time you say, well you're sprinkling. No, we didn't sprinkle them, they got showered. And so you know, you don't know what to do in a situation,5:12 but do you ask Jesus? Do you ask Jesus? Let's just take a moment right now, and let's just pray that he will give us wisdom in a circumstance that we need him. So pray with me. Say,5:24 father, I need wisdom in my circumstance. I don't know what to do, but Jesus, Jesus is made unto me wisdom.5:37 Amen. Let him be your wisdom in the middle of the things that you're questioning. Well, then I looked at another 1, and it's when Jesus came to them in the midst ofJesus Calms the Storm 5:49 a storm. And it said when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land. So they're on the sea, and it's so interesting when you read the6:00 gospel, it says, he saw them. Now this is at night. He's on a mountain. And he sees them, and sees their agony, their fear, and their distress. And6:12 so he comes walking on the water to them, gets into the boat, and immediately is at the other shore. When you get fearful,6:24 can you call on Jesus? Can he give you peace? Can he get in your boat? And get you in a miraculous way to where you need to be. So I'm gonna share6:36 with you several years ago, I was in Islamabad, Pakistan. Oh, we've been praying. We we had everybody behind us praying, praying, praying because we were getting the cricket stadium, big6:48 big stadium. And we were expecting 150000 to come. So, you know, everybody's behind this, everybody's praying. And then when we got there, the government said, you can't use a cricket6:59 stadium because 34 suicide bombers have taken an oath to kill you. And they said, we don't want cricket stadium blown up. They didn't7:11 act like they cared about me. But anyway, what do you do? Will he be in the middle of your store? And so I prayed and they said, you know, you can't do a7:23 meeting, but I don't believe that you can't do things. I believe you can do everything. And Jesus says that about you. I can do all things through? So I said,7:35 well is there anybody would let us use their lamp? Well, they said the Catholics have a football field. And so we went to the Catholics and the priest is spirit filled. So we used7:47 all of that and it filled into the streets. We didn't have time to advertise, but we only had 30000 people. You know, so we did 2 nights and, you know every night when I7:59 would stand up the devil would say, you know, they could shoot you. I said, yes they could, but they won't. You see, he comes to you in the storms of your life. If you've gotten a bad,8:11 report maybe from a doctor and they say, you know, you don't have a long time to live or this thing is chronic, your mother had it, you're gonna have it. Let me tell you, get Jesus in the middle of it. Get him in8:23 the middle of your report and say, hey, what can Jesus do in it? So I just want to encourage you, he comes to you in the midst of your storm, but he doesn't just get in the8:34 boat, he gets your boat where it's supposed to be in a miraculous way. Amen. And this is what I did at Islamabad. I remember this, I stood up and I said, I8:46 will be back. And the next time I'll have 100000. Well, I went back but we had 200000, because we have a miracle working8:58 God. He loves to do the miraculous. Now let's look at the third 1. Jesus is in the midst of demonic activity. Because sometimes you canJesus Over Demons and in Politics 9:10 feel demonic activity, and you can sense the enemy is really on you. And you know sometimes when you have 1 problem after another after another after another, you say wait a minute, the light goes on,9:22 could this be the devil really harassing me and bringing these crisis? So can Jesus get in the middle of demonic activity? And it tells us in Mark9:34 7 that he departed from the region of Tyre and Sidon, and he came through the midst of the region of Decapolis, the Sea of Galilee, and there9:46 he met a demon possessed man, a Gadarene. And what did he do with him? I mean, this man would, try to hurt himself, cut himself. He had chains,9:58 nobody could take care of him. He was terrible terrible demon possessed. So what do you do? Did Jesus come to be in the midst of that to deliver that man? Is Jesus bigger than10:10 the name of the devil? Come on people, is he? Absolutely. So I'm gonna tell you wild thing that happened when we were in Russia. And Reese, you may have been with us when this10:22 happened. We were in Moscow and had a major meeting in Moscow and I had a quite a big team. And so we had a big meeting in a nice theater and then we invited people to come up who10:34 needed healing. So we have our team, maybe 120 people or 30, I don't know. And they're praying for people laying hands on them. And so this man comes up who's demon10:46 possessed, and he bit 1 of our people. And he began to bleed and so 1 of the team said, let's get to the restroom and wash that right away. So they went into the10:58 restroom and he was cut here where the teeth had sunk in. And so 1 of our team members said, I'm gonna pray for you that the cut disappears. And the cut totally disappeared. I mean he11:10 never had anything. It was as though it never happened. Why? Is Jesus bigger than demons? You say, well what about the man who did the biting, he got delivered. Because the rest of the team grabbed him.11:23 You know, so I'm just telling you, don't fear demonic activity. Take the name of Jesus, put it in the middle of the circumstance. So let's see what else in11:35 politics. Now I know this is a hot subject right now, because when you turn on the news, it's not very good. And it's not good around the world. And I'm telling you,11:47 I can't watch too much of the news at 1 time. I mean it it's just depressing, am I right? But can we change it? Could you watch the news and change the news?11:59 And you know, we get into such political arenas and we fear and we talk about it and we worry. And so I want you to see how Jesus handled political situations.12:11 Can we bring Jesus into our politics? Can we? Well stand up, we're gonna pray. Somebody said, oh God, don't let her have us stand12:22 again. No this isn't in this service. You would never say that would you? Okay. Let's just pray over our nation. Pray with me, say Father. I believe.12:34 I believe. You have a revival. You have a revival. For our nation. For our nation. Especially among the young. Especially among the young. Father I believe. Whatever our politics. Whatever our politics.12:47 Jesus. Jesus. Is the greater name. And Jesus is moving in this nation. This nation. This nation. Does more for missions.12:59 Than any nation in the world. Thank you, Lord. We're not going under. I want that to be in my heart that I pray over nations. I13:11 don't give up. I pray for Syria. Ugly nations. War, confusion, I pray for. And I can make a difference because of the tree of13:23 life. That tree is in me. Abundant life for every circumstance.In this video 0:00 It Begins With A Tree: Expecting Miracles3:03 Jesus: Our Wisdom in Confusion5:43 Jesus Calms the Storm9:01 Jesus Over Demons and in Politics
