This is “Miracles Are Knocking At Your Door.” What do you have in your home? The New Testament is filled with stories about miracles, blessings, and the power of God being poured out—in people’s homes! There are Christians all over the world who are unable to congregate at “church.” Not because of COVID-19, but because it’s forbidden. Yet it doesn’t stop them from experiencing powerful moves of God. It’s time to have church in your home! In this message with Jentezen Franklin hear about the miracles knocking at the door!
the following program is sponsored by
friends and partners of Kingdom
connection I want to preach for a faith
building experience right there in your
home I told them that I wanted to do a
series on miracles in your home because
when we got quarantine I felt that it
was so important that people not limit
God to a sanctuary or a church or a
church service where they’re gathered
together all kinds of believers but that
God actually can can do and has done
some of his greatest miracles in
people’s homes I love that story in
second Kings 4 where the Prophet asks
what do you have in your house the woman
needed a miracle
the woman needed God to do something for
her family because her sons were being
taken into slavery to pay a debt that
her husband had died and left her with
and in Bible days they could arrest the
children and enslave them if the parents
didn’t pay the bill and she went to the
prophet and the Prophet said what do you
have in your house it tells me that
what’s in your house can hinder revival
or it can help revival and it’s amazing
to me that we’re living in a time where
the emphasis is on our homes more than
our church it’s something how that the
Bible commands us to bless one another
and to be there for one another but
there’s 18 times in the book of Acts it
talks about the church but listen to
this there’s 39 times in the book of
Acts where it talks about in
as the word home our house our present
situation of being quarantined would not
have stopped the New Testament church it
would not have stopped and does not stop
the persecuted Church in China in Muslim
nations that are radical and forbid
Christians to have services they can’t
go to a building to have Church they
have to have Church in their home with
their family the New Testament is filled
with stories not of miracles in churches
or synagogues but it’s filled with 39
times the book of Acts says that
miracles happen blessings were poured
out Holy Spirit power was poured out in
people’s homes and in their houses it’s
a good time to check our version of
Christianity if you stop praying and put
your prayer life on hold until church
goes back to normal then you’re in a
crisis if you stop reading the Bible if
you stop giving if you stop with
witnessing if you stop worshipping
waiting on church to come back together
you’re in a crisis because we don’t know
when that’s going to end I want to ask
you how much church do you have in your
house how spiritual what our church be
if we measured it by the depth of
spiritual power in your home the Bible
said in Acts chapter 2 when the Holy
Spirit was poured out perhaps the most
famous church scripture the the
beginning the birthplace of the New
Testament church was Acts chapter 2 and
it was not poured out the Holy Spirit on
the day of Pentecost was not poured out
in a sanctuary it was poured out in a
man’s home in the second floor of that
home called
the Upper Room
been in that room I’ve been in where
they think that is and I assure you it’s
not very big
did you know that God could pour out the
Holy Spirit on your living room right
where you are their spiritual their
spiritual proof of that in the Bible in
Acts chapter 2 it started the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit started in a home in
Acts chapter 9 Ananias was told by God
listen to this in acts 9 and 11 go to a
street called straight and you’ll meet a
man there named Judas and he has a he
has a person in one of his rooms by the
name of Saul of Tarsus and you are to
lay hands on him and I’m gonna heal him
he’s a chosen vessel and I’m gonna use
him now I want you to think about this
we know that Saul of tour Tarsus became
Paul the Apostle after hands were laid
on him and he was filled with the Holy
Spirit where did that happen it did not
happen in a sanctuary a temple or a
church it happened in a man’s home where
God said I know what Street that man
lives on is called straight street I
think God had Paul in a house on
straight street cause he needed to be
straight now he was trying to kill all
the Christians and God was about to
radically change him but think of what
I’m saying the greatest apostle in the
world the man who wrote half the New
Testament God said go to a street called
straight in a certain house where a man
lives I know his address and I’ve got a
chosen vessel that I’m going to use do
you know God knows your address and God
can do the most incredible miracles in
your house in Acts chapter 10 one
chapter over there’s a man who is a
Gentile not a Jewish man but a Gentile
by the name of Cornelius and he loved
God and he was praying and God sent
Simon Peter to his house an angel said
follow me to this man’s house and when
he gets to
the man’s house this Gentile the Bible
said and while Peter this is in acts
10:44 and while Peter spoke these words
the Holy Ghost fell on all them who
heard the word where was the word being
taught in their living room
he brought his whole family in he was a
Gentile I want you to understand that
none of us Gentiles I’m a Gentile unless
you’re Jewish by descent you’re a
Gentile and none of us would be in the
kingdom of God had it not been for an
outpouring on a house it failed the
Bible said the Holy Spirit fell on the
house and well Peter was teaching the
Holy Spirit was poured out in the living
room and they heard them they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost this is in
acts 10 and they spoke with tongues and
magnify God and they heard them
glorifying God that happened in a house
the Holy Ghost can fall on your house
the great power of the Holy Ghost that
filled the Upper Room that was not a
church but a house can feel the room
where you are and heal your body and
break the power of bitterness and anger
off of your family unforgiveness and
heal every wound and bring revival bring
the backsliders bring the alcoholics the
drug addicts the depressed that defeated
the worried those that are confused and
at the point of hopelessness the power
of the Holy Spirit can reach you in your
home he knows your address let me show
you another one in Acts chapter 12 and
verse 12 the Bible said Peter had been
imprisoned and there was a woman named
Rhoda who was having a prayer meeting in
her house and because the church was
praying not in a sanctuary but in her
house they were praying did you know
that God doesn’t just hear prayers of a
preacher prayed in a sanctuary for
people but God hears prayer
that are prayed in a person’s house
because Rhoda and all of the believers
had gathered in her living room and they
got down on their knees in the living
room
they said turn the TV off turn the
internet off except for that preacher
turn everything turned Facebook or
whatever it is that’s distracting us the
the ringing of the phones
turn it off we we’ve got a desperate
situation and they got down on their
knees this is right in your Bible in
Acts chapter 12 and verse 12 and while
they were praying Simon Peter was
released from prison from chains and
bondage to come to the house where they
were praying and he started knocking on
the door
can I tell you that miracles are
knocking on your home right now they’re
knocking on your door
God knows where you live and he says I
can bring miracles not just in
sanctuaries and Crusades and mighty
gatherings of believers and conferences
I can bring a miracle to your door and
when they opened the door there was a
miracle standing at their door
miracles are knocking on your door in
the book of Acts chapter 16 the Bible
said that Paul and Silas in the midnight
hour sung their way out of the darkness
sung their way out of Chains and bondage
they begin to sing and praise God in the
earthquake hit and the chains fell off
of them and they were released from
prison and the Bible said the jailer
said what must I do to be saved and I
love the answer that’s given in acts 16
in verse 31 believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and you shall be saved
and your house Wow that today every one
of you can claim that promise believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ and not only will
you be saved but your whole house is
gonna get saved I believe
God has us own location all together in
our homes and he’s saying get in touch
with your parents get in touch with your
family get in touch with your brother’s
your sisters your mom’s your dad’s your
sons your daughters couples pray
together families pray together I want
to save the whole house I want to save
your cousins I want to save those on
drugs I want to save those who haven’t
been to church in decades I want to save
moms and dads and sons and daughters and
I will I want to save the whole house in
acts 20 Paul said this in verse 20 I
taught you publicly and listen to this
house to house you know we think of
these great preachers their great
Apostle Paul you know we see him up on
the platform with tens of thousands of
people coming out to hear him and he’s
sitting in one of those big preacher
chairs like we used to sit in in days
gone by you know and now we’re going to
present the great Apostle Paul and he’d
come up and and grab a microphone in a
Bible and stand like Billy Graham and
preach but notice what it said in acts
20:20 I taught you publicly and
house-to-house in acts 20:1 in verse
eight it said that there was a man by
the name of Philip the Evangelist and
when Samaria needed revival God sent
Philip down to Samaria and the Bible
said an amazing revival happened in
Samaria and they brought their
witchcraft and they brought their
curious arts and they burned them and
they just had a revival in the whole
city the Bible said tens of thousands
were filled with the spirit and the
whole city was filled with joy but then
you read something else and we we only
think of that great revival there but
listen to what else happened he was an
evangelist not only to a whole nation in
a whole city of Samaria but he was an
evangelist in his own home because the
Bible said this about Philip the
Evangelist it said in acts 21 in verse 8
which is called the house
ah Philip the Evangelist and years later
the Bible said he was at home after a
citywide revival with his daughters I
think it said he had four daughters and
they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and they prophesied and his wife
we need people who be like Philip and
evangelize their home we need people who
will become evangelists to their own
family gifted to reach people in their
own family his home became a center for
evangelism God can do miracles in your
home start sharing Jesus start talking
about Jesus start speaking of Jesus
start reading the scriptures in your
home since you’re there
God wants to visit your family become an
evangelist to your own family God can do
miracles in your home I remember when I
was growing up my granddaddy granddaddy
stone was an amazing man he had 28
children and he was an amazing man but
the most powerful thing that I remember
about granddaddy’s house had a beautiful
home but I can remember pulling up at
Thanksgiving pulling up at Christmas
pulling up on Easter Sunday sometimes
and we would heat my god we would eat
like horses you’ve never seen so many
cakes I’m talking about hundreds of
people in my family I have I’m still
meeting cousins that I didn’t even know
I had but when we would pull up my
granddaddy in his living room you’ll
love this he had a piano on one side is
a big room you could get you could get
in that room it was it was about the
size of this stage and we would cram in
there and those who couldn’t get in
would be outside and outside on the
outside and up on the staircase I’m it’s
hard to describe it it’s a massive room
he had a piano
one side of the room and he had an organ
you know like the old church organs yeah
hammond b-3 on the other side right in
his living room that’s how I grew up and
when I started to learn how to play the
piano
my uncle Michael was a was a concert
pianist and a professor in a university
and played music and and and it just I
grew up around music when I started
playing the sax my brother dole played
the trombone my brother Richie played
trumpet and we would bring our horns to
Grand at his house for Easter or for
Christmas or for Thanksgiving and we’d
begin to play those horns in the living
room I’d start playing my socks and my
smile my Aunt Sue played the organ and
she would be over there playing and
Michael would be playing and we’d get to
singing I’m not making I’m telling you
my brother and Ritchie and I really
believe our ministry started we started
evangelizing after that sometime but it
really started I think and my
granddaddy’s living room because there
were times where we didn’t plan it but
we’d just start singing because
granddaddy would not let any family
gathering take place granddaddy and
Selma my grandmother they wouldn’t let
it take place without you’re not leaving
children and grandchildren until we have
Church in my house you go eat my food
you’re gonna run around here ride these
horses and ride these four-wheelers and
all this blessing you gonna remember who
gave it to me and we’re gonna have some
worship in this house and we play
football we had football out in the
front yard like you wouldn’t believe
but he wouldn’t let us play football
until the service was over
would go in that living room and I could
remember me and my brother would start
singing some him sometimes he touched me
oh he touched me
the power of the Holy Ghost would fall
on that living room I’d look over my
uncle would be weeping my uncle Ted my
Uncle Tony my Uncle Jack they would be
weeping I would see ants and my mother
my father my dad would get up and preach
and they had so many preachers in the
family that it would become a preacher
thon and one after another would get up
I just got to say one word but before it
was over they were prophesying the power
of God was moving and the children were
captivated by the presence of God not in
a sanctuary in the home in the family in
the living room would you get on your
knees
would you just join me if you can
physically would you just get on your
knees right there and your living room
and your bedroom and your kitchen you
just get down if you physically can and
just throw your hands up and say lord I
I would love for you to pour out your
spirit on my house I want my family
saved I want my children saved I want us
filled with the Holy Ghost I want to
worship you in this house you gave me I
give you my house
I give you my family I give you my
marriage
I give you my children I invite your
holy presence into this room now right
where I am just say that I dare you to
open your mouth and say I invite you now
into my home show us what it’s all about
it’s not about what the world makes it
into it’s about how much Jesus do you
have in your life and they’re back
sliders that are listening to me right
now you can’t let this crisis just come
and go because this is your wake-up call
this is your moment right there in that
room to say Jesus wash me say it Jesus
cleanse me Jesus forgive me Jesus I’m
coming back to you in my home I want
every parent to lay your hands on your
children and your grandchildren and I
want you to speak the blessing of the
Lord over them I want you to plead the
blood of Jesus over them I want you to
ask God to fill them with the Holy Ghost
right there in your living room because
when my parents and my uncles and my
aunts started worshipping God it was a
holy noise in that house that I can
never get away from I can never erase
from the from front from its forever
embedded in my spirit and it happened
not in a church service but in a house
our time is almost gone but I want you
to just take a few moments in your home
maybe have some singing maybe have some
worship maybe have some time where you
just reach around and lay hands on one
another and pray for one another and
hold one another and love one another
because when it’s all said and done
all of us no matter is Jesus and your
family so worship him right there in
your home and we’re gonna go out
worshipping God
gonna go out just lifting Jesus high
today let’s glorify Him and now may the
Lord bless you and keep you make his
face shine on you be gracious unto you
lift up his countenance upon you give
you peace and protection and blessing
