Christians don’t doubt that Jesus performed miracles, but whether or not miracles still happen today can be controversial.
Matthew Stephen Brown, pastor and author, believes miracles still occur and unwraps a holistic perspective in his latest book, “Every Day a Miracle: Trusting the God Who Heals Us Inside and Out.”
Along with other pastors who saw their churches shrink after COVID-19, Brown prayed for an answer and even thought about quitting the ministry. Then he understood that “we are all broken people. Our world is broken, our political system is broken, and our churches are broken. The more I pressed on, the more I began to see that the world needed healing.”
Brown came to the realization that he had been preaching about negative issues. God showed him that instead he needed to focus on the solution, not the problem.
‘Healer’
He heard one word from God — “healer.” Brown was nervous about where he felt God was leading, so he changed his next sermon series and “saw Jesus change [his] church.”
Brown doesn’t simply write about physical healing but how God’s presence is a miracle in itself. Relating a personal story of a time he was scared about a possible life-threatening diagnosis and was angry at God, he shares how he came to the point of knowing that God never left.
Analyzing spiritual, emotional and mental healing, Brown also explores why God sometimes says yes to prayers for healing, and sometimes no. He uncovers how to wait for a miracle.
“Every Day a Miracle” is a written form of Brown’s healing series, with exploration of the biblical basis for each topic, a prayer and a QR code that leads to a related video and discussion questions.
“Every Day a Miracle” can be found wherever books are sold.
