Miracles on the way

In our leaders meeting last night it seemed apparent that the Lord was going to begin to release miracles in our Body. I've felt this coming for a long time and especially since opening the healing room have I known that we're incomplete without miracles.

1Cor12 is the chapter to find the mention of miraculous powers and the working of miracles and it seems evident they are to be a part of the normal function of the Body. I was wondering what comes first, those who work miracles or the miracles. Are those with miraculous powers in our midst now, only latent, or does the Lord send a miracle and someone suddenly become a miracle worker? And if it's a gift why isn't it as apparent as other gifts we easily identify?

I don't really need to know these things but I will confess that I want to be a worker of miracles and I want the gifts of healings. I eagerly desire them and thus I think about how it happens.

One thing I more and more reject is the soverignty (sp?) of God theory that attributes healings and miracles to God's soverign nature, meaning He heals when he wants and does miracles when he wants and nobody can break the code of when he will and when he won't. He's God and it just happens as he sees fit. I don't buy it since it doesn't fit with the picture of Christ redeeming man to do his works on the earth. Somehow we are involved with this whole thing, right up to our ears.
