(Be blessed by this DWOD by guest blogger Luc Niebergall)

About a year ago I was heading home from a meeting, when I felt a sudden urge to go love on people. I headed over to Wal-Mart with the expectancy to see Jesus set some people free.

As I walked past one of the aisles in the store, I began feeling a pain in the left side of my back. Looking down the aisle I saw a woman who worked at the store. I walked up to the woman and asked her if she ever gets pain in the left side of her back.

She looked at me in shock. I told her that God spoke to me and told me about her pain and that if she let me pray for her, she would be healed.

After I prayed a quick prayer, the woman stretched and her back was completely healed. The woman then gave me a response that I will never forget.

“I’ve seen this happen many times on television where God would miraculously heal someone and I never once doubted that it was true. However, I never thought that it would ever happen to me. After today. for the first time in my life I know that God truly cares about me.”

When I first went into the Wal-Mart, I was originally going to blitz the mall and pray for as many people as I could, but once this woman said this, I was too moved to continue.  I was moved because she understood that God chose her.

Once I finished my conversation with her, I just went into my car and wept because I knew that she would never be the same again after encountering the love of God.

As we develop a culture where the supernatural happenings of Jesus are common, we need to make sure that we don’t allow ourselves to become blasé when God moves.

This was not the first time I had seen God heal a back. I had actually already seen hundreds of backs healed, not only in the church but also on the streets.

If we aren’t moved when God moves, no matter how small the miracle is, then there is an issue in the inner man which needs to be addressed.

Psalm 103:7 says, “He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel.”

This is extremely important for us to understand when we see God moving supernaturally. Israel saw God’s acts. They saw all of the miracles, signs and wonders, yet their hearts were still bitter towards God.

Moses understood something greater than God’s acts–he understood God’s ways. This means that not only did Moses see God’s miracles, signs and wonders to deliver Israel from bondage, but he also understood God’s heart behind the miraculous. Moses saw that God did what He did because He deeply loved the Israelites.

Whereas Israel’s hearts remained bitter, Moses grew in revelation of the love of God for Israel every time God moved.

This is important. When you see Jesus do a miracle, no matter how small it may be, you have a decision to make.

If you see someone’s back healed, you can either only see God’s act which will appease your curiosity for the supernatural for a time. Or you can choose to see that God did the miracle because He is madly in love with the person who was set free from pain.

When we choose the latter, even if we are not the one receiving the miracle, we are still transformed, because we are encountering Jesus’ heart.

If we don’t understand this then our drive for the miraculous will only be out of curiosity for the supernatural instead of out of a deep love for people.
