Miracles In Your Home

“The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth.” Psalms 145:18

How much of Jesus do you have in your home? You may think that spirituality and miracles are supposed to happen only in the church, but many examples in the Bible show how much God wants to move in your own home. In the book of Acts, the church is mentioned 18 times, but the home is mentioned 39 times. The New Testament is filled with stories of miracles and salvations in people’s houses. God can do and has done some of His greatest miracles in homes.

In Acts 2, the Holy Spirit was poured out, and the New Testament church was born. This great move of God did not happen in a sanctuary but in the upper room of a man’s home. God can pour out His Spirit on you and your family as you sit in your living room. 

In Acts 9, God told Ananias to go to Straight Street to a man’s house to find Saul of Tarsus, who was staying there. God told him to lay his hands on Saul and heal him because he was a chosen vessel. The greatest apostle in the world and the man who wrote half of the New Testament was not healed in a church. He was healed and ministered to in a house. God knew exactly where he was staying. God also knows your address and wants to meet you there.

In Acts 10, Simon Peter is led by an angel to the home of a Gentile named Cornelius. Cornelius was waiting for him and had brought his family and friends into his house to hear what Peter had to say. Acts 10:44 says, “And when Peter spoke these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them who heard the word.” Most of the world is comprised of Gentiles, and it is amazing to realize that none of us would be in the kingdom of God had it not been for an outpouring of God’s mercy on a house of people. Previous to his visit, God had revealed to Peter His will to include the Gentiles in His plan of salvation. This huge plan to reach the majority of the world started in a man’s home.

God’s power can reach you in your home right now. He can heal your body and break the bondage of sin. He can restore marriages and broken family relationships. He can reach your sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. God still wants to bring miracles into your home. He is looking for people who will become evangelists to their own families. Start talking about Jesus to everyone who enters your home. 

Remember that you are either building your house on the sinking sand or building it on a rock. 

Pray this prayer today: “Lord, I would love for you to pour out your spirit on my house. I want my family and children saved. I want to worship you in this house. I give you my family, marriage, and children and invite your Holy presence into this home.”
