Ep. 47 I Believe in Miracles Collection - Lisa Schroder

The Full Life Podcast with Melanie Lynam

Today is the first episode of a collection called ‘I believe in Miracles’. Usually I release just 1 episode a month but I would like to do something special for this collection and instead bring you fortnightly episodes for this 4 part series!

I love to hear about the incredible things that God is doing in other peoples’ lives. It builds my faith, takes my eyes off of the natural and onto the supernatural, and increases my own expectation.

I am really excited about the people I am going to introduce you to in this Collection. Next episode we are going to hear from Jaylyne who tells us about how her baby boy was born with an underdeveloped brain and God’s response to that situation. So be sure to keep an eye out for that episode in a fortnight but today I am having a conversation with my friend, Lisa Schroder. Lisa is a Pastor at Hope Centre in Brisbane. She is a Mum of 3 beautiful girls, wife of Aaron and this is the 2nd time she has been on The Full Life Podcast and not the last. Lisa is full of wisdom and experience and full of the Holy Spirit. Today we lay a foundation talking about the theology of miracles, and also hear some incredible stories of what Lisa has seen the Lord do recently.

When we don’t receive the miracle.

The change and breakthrough came for Lisa and Aaron when - Her husband and her got tenacious. They thought, “Even though we don’t see a lot of miracles right now the Bible does say that He does heal so therefore we’re going to start believing that.”

They saturated themselves in the Word, reading every story about miracles in the Bible that they could find. They spent a lot of time listening to testimonies. In worship. Praying. They started to see things shift. Started small. One step in front of another. Fasting and praying.

What is a miracle?

Hebrew word

He loves us John 3:16

“I would rather pray prayers that match God’s ability, rather than my experience.”

“The reason He heals today is because He is passionate about His kids.”

Miracles are not conditional.

“Miracles should not be any more complicated than saying yes to Jesus.”

Mark 16:17,18

“I am so challenged to increase my expectation.”

“Faith works like a lighting rod.” My lightning rod is up. Trusting the timing. Fear is the enemy of faith. Have complete confidence that what you’re believing for is going to happen.

Hebrews 1:11

If it was going to be a sure thing, it wouldn’t require faith on our behalf. What’s more important? Seeing it in my time frame? Or believing what He says?

His ways are higher than our ways, his thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

Im not going to know why but I am still going to believe that God is good.

The question ‘why’ can bring into question God’s character. He is a good God.

Isaiah 7:9

Really important getting the Word of God into you. The Word of God is powerful.

Guarding our language. Make a decision to not speak negatively over your situation. Understanding the power of our words.

Proverbs 18:21 (tongue power of life and death)

“Get your eyes on Jesus and you get your Word going and you start declaring it.”

Acts 19:11 It is God who performs the miracle.

Faith is a fruit that we grow.

Unforgiveness in our hearts can be a barrier to receiving healing. (scripture Mark 11:29???) Sometimes spiritual roots to some diseases.

If you need a healing find as many testimonies to listen to as possible because it will build your faith.

If you need a miracle pray for someone else to get a miracle.

John 5 - the pool of Bethesda. You don’t need the perfect conditions. You just need Jesus to walk into the room.

Praise is a WEAPON.
