Discipleship Training by Heather ComptonWeek 3

Let’s jump back into the scripture starting in verse 5. This is where the miracle took place. We see in verse 5 that Mary looked at the servants and commanded them to do whatever Jesus said to do. Jesus needs you to be available to be used in the miracle process, and in order to get victory in your life, you must be willing to HEAR from Jesus and then do exactly what He asks you to do. As we see through this scripture there were steps that needed to be followed for this miracle to manifest. What if they would have gotten the water in the jars but refused to walk it to the master?  Had that happened, they would have just wasted time filling pots with water.  Nothing would have happened. The miracle manifested as they moved, as they stepped out in faith. I’m sure this seemed ridiculous to them as they knew it was water in the pot, but they just DID exactly what He said.  Pastor Chuck preached a series last year called “Whatever Jesus says, Do it” and is an excellent addition to this. It is a 4 part series and is available for purchase.

Lastly, I want to focus on divine acceleration.  We can all agree that time seems to be moving much faster than ever before. Jesus is also in the acceleration business. This miracle is a miracle of acceleration. The natural process of making wine would have taken a long time. The grapes would have needed to be planted; they would grow, then need picked, and so on.  What would have takes months/years Jesus performed in minutes, using something they already had access to.  Jesus isn’t held to our clock and our calendar; the natural doesn’t affect him at all. He wants to speed things up in our life.  I believe we are at the time in history that those with true Bible faith will see the instant manifestation. We will see things turn around for our good quickly! 

*Pastor Nancy Dufresne has a wonderful message on Divine Acceleration. You can find it on her podcast, episode 382.

Say it with me:

·         I will DO whatever He says to do!

·         I will be an active participant in my miracle!

·         I will activate Jesus and His power to work on my behalf!

·         I will refuse LACK in my life!

·         I expect instant manifestations!

Key Verse: Ephesians 3:20 (Take time to memorize if you haven’t already)

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that works in us!
