Overcoming Unbelief For Extraordinary Miracles
The power of God can help you receive any miracle if you can conquer unbelief. Since nothing is impossible for those who believe, only unbelief can hinder people from having their desired miracles. This article teaches how you can overcome unbelief.

The Scripture
So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour except in his own country and in his own house.”
Now , He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. (Matthew 13:57-58 NKJV)
Understanding the Scripture
One day, Jesus went to preach in His hometown, Nazareth. The residents didn’t believe in Him because they were too familiar with Him. They knew Him from childhood and knew His mum and siblings. They found it difficult to believe that someone they knew so well could have wisdom and power from God. Thus, they questioned His source of knowledge and power and refused to believe in Him.
Jesus responded by saying that a prophet doesn’t have honour in his hometown and house. The scripture ends by stating that Jesus didn’t do many mighty works in His hometown because of their unbelief.
Implications of Unbelief
Although Jesus was filled with the Holy Ghost’s power and compassion, the scripture says He didn’t perform mighty miracles because of their unbelief. In other words, the unbelief of the residents of Nazareth made the power of the Holy Ghost in Jesus ineffective, hindering Him from performing many mighty works there.
Nothing hinders a miracle more than unbelief. Unfortunately, many people who don’t believe think they believe. Hence, it’s vital to look at the meaning.
What Does Unbelief Mean?
Unbelief, which means a lack of faith, is the inability of a person to believe that the power of God from a particular source can help them have their desired miracle at a given time. Put differently, someone who believes in God can still doubt that God can perform a miracle through a particular source. The residents of Nazareth believed in God but didn’t believe that God could use Jesus to perform miracles in their lives.
Similarly, many Christians believe in God but find it challenging to understand how God can use a particular person to perform miracles in their lives. So, such Christians may not experience many mighty miracles in their lives, not because they don’t believe in God, but because they don’t believe God could use a particular person to perform their desired miracles.
How to Conquer Unbelief
To overcome a lack of faith, you must first understand and believe that the heavens and earth did not exist on their own. God created them (Genesis 1:1).
It’s also essential to know that God is omnipotent, meaning nothing is difficult for Him to do. No situation is difficult for Him to overturn. Impossible is nothing to Him (Genesis 18:14).
Further, you must know that God loves you so much that He sacrificed His Son, Jesus, for your sake. Hence, He will not withhold any good thing from you (Psalm 84:11). He wants you to have your desired miracles.
Also, you have to believe that Jesus is the Son of God who came to save humanity and succeeded by sacrificing His life for us (Luke 1:35).
You have been saved if you have received Christ. In that case, you are a child of God, meaning God sees you the way He sees Jesus (1 John 3:2). Therefore, you have the right to speak a word, and it will happen.
Ask whatever you want, believing, and you shall have them in Jesus’ name (Mark 11:24).
