Never-Ending Miracles

What does it look like to live a life where miracles continually follow you?
Pastor Ivan Tate teaches on the principles that he believes unlock a life of unending miracles, beginning with consistent, personal fellowship with God. Using Mark 1:35, he challenges believers to develop a lifestyle of unbroken fellowship with God rather than limiting their relationship with Him to occasional moments of prayer.
The message continues with practical challenges to love difficult people, examine our lives by their fruit, become radically generous, and demonstrate the compassion of Jesus to hurting people. Rather than settling for an intellectual Christianity, Pastor Ivan calls believers to become increasingly like Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to work through their everyday lives.
Finally, Pastor Ivan emphasizes knowing the Word of God and allowing it to transform who we are. God desires for His people to experience His power, carry His love into the world, and live expecting Him to work through them wherever they go.
Hi, this is Pastor Daniel Bracken. You're listening to Kings Alaska Podcast. I hope the Word encourages you and you get a touch from God that brings transformation and equips you to experience life with people, power and purpose. Thank you for joining us. Enjoy the Word.
Let's go to Mark Chapter one, and in the time that we have, let's minister to you from the Word. Let's say, let's have a thought come into our mind and that is, is there a place where you can experience unending miracles? Is there a place that you can get to as a believer where you are experiencing a flow of unending miracles? And the answer to that is absolutely. As a matter of fact, the Bible is very clear that signs and wonders follow believers and that it is natural and normal for you as a true Christian, authentic, genuine Bible believing man or woman of God, that you are supposed to have miracles follow you.
Your family is supposed to all get saved. That's one of your miracles that belongs to you. You're supposed to be out of debt completely. That's one of the miracles that you get to experience. You're supposed to have divine health till you die.
That's one of the miracles that's supposed to follow you. You're supposed to be anointed by God and have a manifesting, evolving, growing ministry that continues to increase and multiply with power. You're supposed to have skills, abilities, supernatural insight, revelation, divine love. All of these are miracles. Your children are all supposed to be saved, baptized in the Holy Spirit and filled with the knowledge and wisdom of God.
You are no longer supposed to be susceptible to demonic activity in your home. Your home is supposed to be a place where no one has bad dreams, no bad dreams, no nightmares. No one in the family gets depressed in the house. No one in the family gets in contentious fights with each other. No one in the house is undisciplined in their eating, undisciplined in their personal life, undisciplined with their language and words that come out of their mouth.
All of that goes away when the miracles of God are introduced to you and you begin to flow in the things of the Holy Spirit. The truth is, my brothers and sisters, that not all Christianity is equal. Not all Christians are the same. Not all Christians are actually fully engaged or fully converted.
So you have in Christianity many different kinds of Christians, as you do have many kinds of churches. You have the fully converted lamb Christian that is fully a lamb, and they manifest all the attributes of a lamb. But then in the midst of that, you Have Christians that are half lamb, half wolf.
You have Christians that are half lamb, half snake. You have Christians that are half lamb, half goat, half lamb, half frog, half lamb, half chameleon, half lamb, half spider, half lamb, half dragon. These are people that are on the way to transformation but are not yet fully transformed. But no matter who you are and what stage you might be because of what you brought with you in your Adamic nature that your dead relatives put in you in genetic form, just like your nose was not your idea, nor were your ears or your feet, they are manifestations of dead people who put those things inside you and they shoot out of your face.
And all the people said, hala, hala. Everybody raise your right hand and wave it around and say, oh God, I really need some help. Hallelujah. Am I born again right now? I'm not sure what I'm getting.
I'm getting skinned alive and it's only been six minutes. Hallelujah.
Okay, so let's learn. What are the secrets that unlock unending miracles in your life? Do you want that number one, mark 135. A great while before morning, Jesus got up and went to a solitary place and prayed. As was his habit.
As was his habit. Let's all say it together. As was his habit. The number one secret for having miracles follow you is that you spend more time with God than you do with people.
If you study this and you can fact check me, the national average for Christians in the United States of personally praying is three minutes. One minute to bless breakfast, one minute to bless lunch, and one minute to bless dinner. That is the prayer life of the body of Christ in the United States. Three minutes as a whole. So if you want to have miracles follow you, you need to develop a personal habit of having fellowship with God all day.
Which means what? You have to learn how to commune with God and fellowship with God and be talking with God all day long. It's called unbroken fellowship. Hallelujah. For me to fellowship with my wife, for example, I have to be with her, but I don't have to actually have a physical God and a physical body me to commune with him.
I can have unbroken fellowship with God. And what that's going to do is it's going to cause me to fall in love with God. And what that's going to do, it's going to cause me to be like God. And what that's going to do is release a magnet for miracles. I then you then become a living, walking God magnet that you are literally drawing God into your Daily situations and circumstances, and everywhere you're going, the Lord is with you as he was with Joseph.
And the Lord made everything that Joseph did to prosper in his hand. And the Lord blessed Joseph with favor and prospered him. And even people that didn't want to like him had to like him because the Lord was with him. And this is supposed to be your testimony of your life? Not torment, not snakes, not demons, not the devil, not hassle, not depression, not misery, not torment, not I hate everybody.
Not everybody hates me. Not everybody. How many of you would be good Christians if there were no people?
That's the number one secret to having unending miracles. It is abnormal for Christians to to go and live for years at a time without seeing tangible miracles with their eyes everywhere they go. If that is what you have, then you are not spending enough time with God. And if you don't spend enough time with God, then the people you spend the most time with is who you reflect.
So you draw from your TV programs whatever power that is. You draw from your dog, whatever power that is. You draw, God forbid, from your cats, whatever power that is. But if you're not spending time, more time with God than you are with your device that's in your hand with your gains and technology, then you are a technology Christian. You are not a biblical Christian.
You are a technology Christian. You are becoming an AI.
This is going to cost you everything if you don't manage that correctly. Hallelujah. Everybody wave your hand again and say, my God, what is going on? This morning I was expecting a real mellow kind of service, Perhaps a little singing, a little shouting, a little hallelujah. But I'm getting skinned alive.
Hallelujah. And all the people said, hallelujah. Turn to somebody and say, hallelujah. Give somebody a high five and say, is that a wig you're wearing? It's amazing.
Is that a toupee? Oh, my God. I never seen nothing like that. How much did that cost? Glory to God.
Hallelujah. Look at your neighbor and shout. Those your teeth? They're amazing. Praise God.
Hallelujah. What's that? Your original hair color?
Now you may say, what are you doing? I'm being not religious. Religion chokes on freedom because religion demands that God behaves like man wants him to Give someone a high five and say, oh, Jesus, help me out.
Number two secret to having unending miracles. Say it out loud. I'm going to have unending miracles. Tell the person behind, I don't know about you, but I'm having unended miracles. I want a life full of miracles.
I want to come every week to church and say, hey, I got to tell you about the miracle that happened this week. I, I, I, I, I, I want you to come to church every week with a lost person that got saved. When you went to Fred Meyers over there, and we're standing between the lemonade and the pickles, I mean, I, you want to have those kind of testimonies where you said, man, you know, I used to be afraid of everybody. Now I'm just bold. I got a miracle.
I got a deliverance miracle. I mean, I am like a roaring lion when I go out in public. I am, I'm ready to eat up all the sinners that I come in contact with, Praise God. Instead of just going home. And everywhere you are, you're just quiet, you're minding your own business.
You don't talk about Jesus. You don't throw the life save. You go and get people nobody saved. You don't pray for anybody at the grand grocery store. You don't pray for anybody at the gas station.
Ain't nothing happening. Because intellectual Christianity cannot release the flow that you desire. Because let me tell you, if you're married and you want to stay married and be happy as long as I have, I'm going on year 50 50, let me tell you that you're going to need the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Everybody wave your hand, say, oh, I need the gifts. Don't you ladies need the gifts of the Holy Spirit to get along with your husband, who is nothing like you at all?
Praise the Lord. Husbands have special superpowers, just like women do, but they're completely different. For example, if you ask a man, what are you thinking? And the man says nothing, he is not lying. This is one of his superpowers.
It is one of the superpowers he's developed since he was a child. He can literally just stop at any point during the day, at any time, at any second. He can just stop right there and just.
What are you thinking? Nothing. Nothing at all. There's nothing going on up there. It's all just blank.
I'm rebooting, I'm recharging. I'm like the Borg on Star Track.
But you can never find that in a woman. There is no such thing. If you ask a woman what she's thinking, you better sit down for two or three hours. And especially she's had nobody to talk to for a week. You know, it's scientifically proven that a woman needs to speak 25,000 words a day.
You know, after two weeks of not talking to people, she's going to want to talk to somebody for about 300,000 words worth. And it's not a matter of making sense. It doesn't have to make sense. It just has to be words coming out of her mouth. You just have to, as a man, learn how to interpret what she's saying.
It's called womanes, and you've got to be able to interpret that. And if you can't interpret that, you're going to have a problem because she may say no. But that no, she said, if you can't decipher and say, oh, that that means yes, that no means yes. And when she says no and it means no, you better know that. And when it means maybe you better know that.
And it would mean when it. Sometimes the no will mean prove it to me. But it'll just come out in a no.
Men don't have these issues. Why are men happy? Because we are shallow.
We don't complicate anything. You can put five men in a truck for three hours and they'll have gas all the way. Nobody will want a divorce. Nobody will want out of the truck. They'll just say, can you roll the window down?
You're killing me up here, brother. Glory to God. But if you put a woman in the truck, everything in the universe changes because a human being has entered the scene.
If you want miracles to follow you, these are some of the things you have to know. 2. You have to love people you never want to see again. That's how miracles will follow. You have to love people that you never want to see again.
You never want to talk to them. You want them to die. You've asked God to kill them in the middle of the night. You laid hands on him and said, die, die, die, die, die. You have to love those people.
Because if you don't love those people, miracles are not going to flow. Because he, even the Mafia can love the people that love them. Christianity is about doing what's impossible because of the help and power of the Holy Spirit.
We're only as close to God as our ability to love the most difficult person in our life. That's the measuring. That's how you measure it. If you want miracles to follow you, you have to love the people that God has assigned to torment you.
When God is ready to promote you, he will send someone to offend you, wave your hands and say, I don't think I can handle this kind of preaching. Surely Ivan is Out of his mind that this can't possibly be true. Because I got a whole list of people that I hate. I can't stand them. Drop dead.
Drop dead. Drop dead. Drop dead. Drop dead. Oh, you're not in this to play religious games, ladies and gentlemen.
We're in this to be genuine Christians and we must crucify our old man that wants to take revenge and kill everybody. We don't actually get to do that and have miracles at the same time. 3. Look at two people and say, oh, my God. If you want miracles to follow you, then you've got to judge everything in your life by fruit, not by what you say or others say by fruit.
Show me the fruit. Because you are the fruit. You are the fruit. Everything about you is the fruit. Don't say you love God.
Show me the fruit. Don't say you obey God. Show me the fruit. Don't say you believe in God. Show me the fruit.
Because everything is fruit based in Christianity. It is not intellectually based and it is not communicatively based. It is based on fruit. You shall know them by their fruit. And if you want miracles to flow, you've got to get ruthless with yourself and say, hey, I got a dead branch right here.
I need to cut it off. There's no fruit coming out of this. I hate that person. In the name of the Lord God, I hope they die. Hate is how you make Satan your pastor.
Four.
Understand what I'm about to say, because it's really important.
This is an important thing to know.
Very, very important.
Everything boils down to generosity. You're here to be trained to be like God. And the first trait of God that we, anybody ever saw was generosity. For God so loved the world that he gave. If you want miracles to follow you, you have to become a radical giver.
Turn to two people and say, you have to become like God for miracles to follow you. And. And God is a giver. God gives everything all day, every day. God gave everything all the time.
Totally gave Jesus. He didn't have to do it. He gave Jesus. Because God is a giver. And Jesus said, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father.
And I only do what the Father tells me. And I only do what I see the Father say. Say the idea of the widow woman was not how much she gave, was the fact that it was everything she had. It's not the level of giving, it's the level of possession. If you possess 10 million and give a hundred thousand and somebody else possesses a hundred and gives a hundred.
You are not giving more than the person that gave a hundred because they're not going to eat that week.
Generosity is how you attract the miracles of God.
Hallelujah. That was five, wasn't it? That was four. Here's number five. If you act like Jesus, heaven will come.
If you go out and get and talk to somebody about Jesus, and here's the way you do it. I'm going to show you how to do it. This is how you get people saved every day. This is how you do it. Not about memorizing all the scriptures.
It's not about knowing psychology. It's not about understanding all the objections and apologetics. It's not all that hard work. There's one way you can do it. It works every time.
It is the miracle of the Bible. Jesus used it. And it's the one way to change the whole world. And that thing is called compassion. If you have compassion for a person, you feel their pain.
And if they know you feel their pain, they will open up to you. They don't care what Romans 6:23 said, or Romans 23, or Romans 10:9. They don't care about that when they're hurting and broken and mean and mad and. And ugly and full of the devil. But when they have someone that cares about them, that feels their pain, that touches them on the inside, they will open up like a flower to the sun.
They will open up to you no matter who they are, atheist, agnostic or whatever. Because there's one thing that man cannot resist in man, and that is the genuine love of God being pointed towards. Towards them without any religiosity, without any gimmicks, without any weird stuff. Just pure, unbridled compassion. I can see you're hurting.
I can see that something bad has happened. The Lord is telling me this. Is this right? Yes. Okay.
If God reveals it, then he heals it. So let me pray for you. Well, I don't even believe in prayer. I believe in prayer. You don't have to believe in in prayer.
Just let me pray. Because I can feel your pain. Yeah, I can tell you care. I don't know why you care. I mean, I'm a total stranger because God put that inside me.
The love is inside me. That the love of God that he has for you. This is God's love for you. And so I'm gonna pray for. You're gonna get saved right now.
Right now. Let's kneel down. Right. Right now. Give me your hand right now.
Say this out loud. Whisper it. Because A lot of people. I don't want to embarrass you, but let's just do it right now. You feel better?
Yeah. I feel light. I feel something. Well, all your sins are gone. You realize God just forgave you.
Your guilt is all over. You're not going to hell anymore. I'm not going to hell? No, you're not going to hell. It's called being saved.
Being born again. This is what just happened. Glory to God.
Act like Jesus and heaven will come towards you.
Act like a jerk and hell will come towards you. Cuss people out on the highway, throw the finger at them. Lie about everything. Lie to people. Watch things you shouldn't be watching.
Do things you shouldn't be doing. And you'll invite hell right into the house. Christianity is not a joke, but it is also not cheap.
Praise the Lord. All right, raise both hands now and say, this has got to be the end for sure because I can't handle more than this. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Everybody say it together.
Hallelujah. Turn to the person next to you with your hands up like that and say, give me all your money. Hey, I've always wanted to say that to somebody. How does it make you feel? I want to look through your purse or your wallet because you're going to pay off my house tomorrow.
I believe you're going to pay off my car tomorrow. Somebody here is going to pay off my children tomorrow. They're costing me a lot of money.
Lift your hands up and say, oh Jesus. The last thing I want to mention to you, found in second Timothy 2, 15, is this. You have to learn the superpowers in the Bible. If you don't learn the superpowers in the Bible, you will not attract the Holy Spirit and the miracles. The Holy Spirit is connected to the word of God, the Bible.
And if you learn the superpowers and mysteries of the Bible, then you will walk around with miracles following you. And everywhere you go, everywhere you go, you will be learning things that normal people who read the Bible cannot get because the breath of God is not on their reading. But when you have the breath of God on your Bible, it comes back in Revelation and changes your DNA and changes who you actually are. And you go from a worm to a butterfly, you go from a skunk to an eagle. You go from a rat to a demon chasing warrior of Almighty God.
Hallelujah. Everybody take a praise break right now and praise him a little bit and act like you're born again and say, I'm leaving all My religion. Come on, say it out loud. I'm leaving my religion behind. I. I don't want anything to do with dead religion because it's going to kill Jesus.
Going to kill me, going to kill everybody. We don't want anything like that. We want the healing power of God. We want the signs and wonder. We want some miracles in the middle of the night.
We need the Lord loving people through us who we can't stand and would rather have them die. We want the Holy Ghost on us wherever we go, in our job and in our work. We want the Lord selling the deal, selling the house, selling the building, selling the land, selling the stuff. We need the Holy Ghost in there. The best pride, top pride.
We need every.
Shake somebody's hand and say holla to end. Then let me say this.
If you're thinking right now, if he's right, I'm living way below where I'm supposed to be living. You're thinking right. And if you think there's nothing like what I said around, you are deceived by the devil. You are God's child and he does not prefer one above another. He is not a respecter of any kind of genetic inheritance.
White, black, brown, green, blue, anything. God respects nothing. Because. Because he loves everything God does is not colorblind. He's color coordinated.
That is a whole different thing. He does not ignore you. He celebrates you. That is who God is. You are someone to celebrate, not someone to throw in a big pot of stew.
But make no mistake, my brothers and sisters, miracles is your destiny. The lame walking is your destiny. The blind seeing is your destiny. The orphan being rescued is your destiny. The chains breaking is your destiny.
The power of God getting everybody saved at the restaurant is your destiny. Between the enchiladas and the flowers, tortillas and the hot sauce, there's gonna be a salvation. Hallelujah. Unless you're weird and stranger than I'm acting right now. Praise God.
Everybody wave your hand, say you are weird and strange. No, I'm not. I'm just free.
I'm just free. This is who I am. I'm weird. Give somebody a high five and say, stop editing yourself.
You're just living in a prison of self editing. I don't do that. Whatever comes out comes out. Because my heart is pure so I always know it'll be okay. Turn to two people and say, is that really your original hair color?
May I say to all the white haired people, everybody look around and look at all the white haired people. Do you know why they have White hair because there's so much of Jesus in that brain that it literally sucked the color right out of the hair and just turned it white with wisdom. We are the wisdom people. So if you see a white haired person, just touch them.
But if there's a bald headed person around, genuinely bald, there's so much of Jesus in that brain that they can't. The hair can't even stay on the head. It just blows right off the head, just blows right out from the revelation that's in that person. Touch those people. Say, give me some power now.
Hug everybody. Just go ahead and hug them. Say, you owe me $147 and I expect to get paid before the service is over.
We end with this.
God loves you and wants you to be chased by miracles.
Hallelujah. Close your eyes for a moment.
Put on that music, and I want you to think about heaven for a minute. You're closing your eyes for privacy, not a religious reason. Simply that's what we do when we think and don't want to be distracted, we close our eyes. I want you to think you're going to die. Some of you will be dead by this year.
Some of you will be dead in 2, 3, 5. You don't have 50, 100 years left. Some of you will be dead in the next 10 years. Some of you are young and may be dead. We don't know.
People die at all ages. It is unwise and unintelligent to be not to be prepared for eternity where you will actually not die. This ends. That does it. To not be prepared for heaven is very unintelligent.
It is like living in a hurricane zone without having flood insurance. It is very unintelligent.
You guys have the music.
Every single thing that has happened to you till now has brought you to this point. And the question is this. Do you want to go to heaven when you die? That is the big question. Do you want to go to heaven when you die?
God is watching. Jesus said it very strongly. If you're ashamed of me in public, I'll be ashamed of you. I hung naked on a cross publicly for you. If you're not ashamed of me in public, then I'll introduce you to my father, very, very powerful.
You have a body which some people can steal, kill and do whatever they want to, but they cannot touch your soul, they cannot touch your spirit. You alone have power over that. You will end and spend eternity based on how you conducted your soul and your spirit when God was calling.
And God is calling. So let's say it like this.
If you want God to put that peace in your heart that you cannot buy at a store and that no person can give you, where you wake up every day. And you know that. You know that. You know that if you die that day, you will go to heaven.
And God is watching. You'll go to heaven. If you want that in there.
All I'm going to ask you to do right now, right there where you're sitting, If you want God to do that, all I want you to do right, right now, publicly, with no shame, is lift your hand right now high enough for me to see, and then I'm going to pray for you. God is going to do a miracle. Oh, my gosh. Look at all those hands, Lord. Look at that.
Unashamed. Unashamed. Would you lift? Would you stand on your feet right now, right there where you're at, and let me pray for you. Those of you that lifted your hands, that is a lot, a lot, a lot of people say the prayer.
I don't want to go to hell.
I don't want to have any doubts about it.
I want to know where I'm going. I want to wake up every day knowing. So I repent for everything. I renounce the devil. I renounce Satan.
I renounce the world. And I give my heart to Jesus. I give my life to Jesus right now. Jesus, come inside. Live in my heart for the rest of my life.
Please forgive me, God, and wash me clean with the blood that Jesus shed at Calvary.
Write my name in the Lamb's book of life. I forgive everyone who ever hurt me, as you are forgiving me. And I also forgive myself. And now I declare. Say it out loud.
I declare. I'm not going to hell. I'm going to heaven. God is with me, and God is in me. Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Turn to somebody, give them a hug and say, I'm on my way to heaven.
