John 4:46-53

•1.     Make It Personal

Don't be a spectator sitting back and seeing God's miracles from a distance.  Make it personal.  Get up and go to Christ.  He has one waiting for you.  Word of Jesus miracle of water into wine spread quickly throughout the region.  However, the royal official wanted to make it personal.

California Gold Rush

•2.     Believe Without Seeing

Don't be a skeptic.  Too often we let the skepticism of our secular life bleed into our Christian life and rob us of a blessing.  Jesus blessed this man with a great miracle because he was willing to believe without seeing.

Those that prospered the most from the Gold Rush were those that believed without seeing.

•3.     Realize God's Blessings

We need to realize that God may already have answered your prayers; you just don't know it yet.  The son was healed the moment the official believed, but he didn't realize it yet.  Sometimes there is a road we have to travel down before we realize God's blessings.  Yes He already answered our prayers but we haven't realized it yet.

The prospectors that left the east coast in search for California gold were destined to be rich and there was gold waiting for them, they just needed to travel the tough road first.
