Sermon Summary
K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the illogical nature of miracles, asserting that they often occur beyond human understanding and logic. He encourages listeners to recognize the miracles happening in their daily lives, even when they feel stuck or overwhelmed by problems. Yohannan highlights the necessity of miracles for salvation and success, urging a 'spiritual uprising' to overcome life's challenges. He reminds us that the invisible truth of God's power transcends our visible circumstances, inviting us to seek divine intervention. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper desire for miracles in our lives.
Miracles for You (Part 1)
The famous philosopher Pascal once said, “It’s illogical to not believe in miracles.” Miracles look illogical. But I have to say in the light of experience that in reality the realm of miracles extends beyond the limits of logic. A lot of miracles happen in our daily life with or without our knowledge. Sometimes we feel like we can’t take a single step forward. If we think logically, we can’t take a step further. The border of logic ends there. That is where we expect a miracle. A miracle, which can’t be measured by logic and is beyond human intelligence, happens there. This reminds us that beyond the visible world there is an invisible truth. An important door to a spiritual and invisible world opens here. depression-94808_640 You might be stuck with a lot of problems in your life. Your plans and schemes might have failed. Your calculations might have gone wrong. Today what you need is a miracle. You can never be saved without a miracle. In politics and international sports we often use the phrase, “He succeeded through an uprising of supporters.” Today you need a “spiritual uprising” to achieve success. Do you desire that from the depth of your heart?
