Week 28, Day 5: Walking in the Gift of Miracles Without Pride or Performance
Key Verse: Matthew 6:1 (NASB 2020)

Episode Highlights
• Miracles are not for performance—they’re for God’s glory.
• Jesus modeled supernatural power with supernatural humility.
• Pride follows power when intimacy with God is neglected.
• The gift of miracles must be stewarded with brokenness, not bravado.

Takeaway Thought
You don’t have to prove anything when God is the one moving. Your calling isn’t about crowds or clout—it’s about obedience. Let your hands bring healing, but let your heart remain hidden in Christ. The gift of miracles is powerful, but purity will keep you in it for the long haul.

Call to Action
Ask yourself: Is my motive for the miraculous pure?
Take time this week to check your posture. Renew your intimacy with the Lord. Seek His face, not just His hand. And as you move in power, move in humility. Because when you walk low, God can move high.
