THE SAME GOD WHO RAISED LAZARUS STILL WORKS MIRACLES TODAY
Charisma News – June 28, 2026 -- The miracle that helped propel Jesus’ ministry into the national spotlight still carries a message for believers today.
In a recent teaching from John 12, Rabbi Kirt Schneider pointed to the raising of Lazarus as evidence that God continues to work supernaturally and that miracles remain a powerful witness to the truth of the Gospel.
“The people were coming because they were hearing what He did,” Schneider said.
As Jesus entered Jerusalem before His crucifixion, many in the crowd had witnessed or heard about Lazarus being raised from the dead.
“They wanted to see this prophet that had raised somebody from the dead,” Schneider said.
Signs and Wonders Follow the Gospel
Schneider said the growth of the early church was connected not only to preaching but also to God’s supernatural power.
“The Gospel of the Kingdom spread in the first-century church, and the Gospel of the Kingdom continues to be spread today when the Word of God and the Word of the Kingdom of Heaven is proclaimed, followed by signs and wonders,” he said.
He pointed to Jesus’ earthly ministry as the model.
“Everywhere Jesus went, He did three things: He preached the Gospel. He preached the Word. He healed the sick. He did miracles, and He performed healings and signs and wonders.”
According to Schneider, that pattern has not changed.
“The same way that the church began with the Word being preached and then it being confirmed with signs and wonders, this is the way the Gospel is still penetrating the earth today,” he said.
When God Confirmed the Message
Schneider recounted the story of missionaries who spent years preaching in India with little response before discovering teachings on healing and miracles.
After returning with renewed faith in God’s supernatural power, the results were dramatically different.
“They began to declare healing over people,” Schneider said.
“People started getting healed. Signs and wonders and miracles took place.”
“From there, the Gospel exploded in India,” he said.
God Is Still a Miracle Worker
At the heart of Schneider’s message was a simple truth about God’s nature.
“God by nature is a miracle worker,” he said.
“By nature, the God that you have a relationship with is supernatural.”
Schneider pointed to the miracles recorded throughout Scripture as evidence that believers should continue to expect God to move today. “All these miracles are what cause people to wake up and look up and pay attention,” he said.
Don’t Be Trapped in the Natural World
Schneider concluded by encouraging believers facing difficult circumstances to keep their eyes on God’s power rather than their limitations.
“Don’t be trapped in the natural world,” he said.
“There are answers for you and I beyond the natural world.”
He urged Christians to trust God for healing, deliverance and breakthrough.
“Believe God, beloved, to work wonders in your life,” Schneider said.
The lesson of Lazarus remains just as relevant now as it was 2,000 years ago.
“The same One that Jesus bore witness to, His Father, that was doing the miracles through Him, He’s at work in your life,”
ONE OF JESUS’ FINAL WARNINGS BEFORE CALVARY
Charisma News – Jul. 14, 2026 -- For many Christians, conversations about the end times stir anxiety. Rabbi Kirt Schneider believes they should produce something entirely different: hope, courage and a renewed commitment to follow Jesus faithfully.
In a recent message, Schneider said believers should not attempt to predict the exact timing of Christ’s return, but should recognize the spiritual season unfolding around us.
“Obviously, no one knows the day or the hour, but we can know the season of His return,” Schneider said. “Yeshua gave us the signs of His return.”
A call to stand with love and truth
Schneider pointed to Jesus’ words in Luke 17, where Christ compared the days before His return to “the days of Lot.” While acknowledging that every person is in need of God’s grace, Schneider urged Christians not to compromise biblical truth out of fear.
“We are all, beloved, saved by grace,” he said. “However, we need to understand that … we need as a church to take a stand for truth.”
He emphasized that Christians should respond differently depending on the individual. Those who are hurting should be met “in the softest, most gentle, most loving, most compassionate way,” while those who openly reject biblical truth should be challenged with Scripture.
Courage over compromise
Rather than retreating from difficult conversations, Schneider encouraged us to remain faithful even when standing for biblical convictions comes at a personal cost.
“You have to be willing to pay the price. You have to be willing to speak up. You have to be willing to stand up. You have to be willing to be rejected because there is a price to pay,” he said.
Yet his message ended not with fear, but with confidence. Schneider reminded believers that the Holy Spirit empowers us to live boldly in a dark world and that the nearness of Christ’s return should motivate us to share the gospel with urgency and joy.
“Be strong and courageous, and do not be afraid,” Schneider said, adding that Jesus is coming again and calling His people to be “bold witnesses.”
The signs of the times are not an invitation to panic. They are a reminder that our hope is anchored in Christ, our mission remains unchanged, and our greatest response is faithful obedience until He returns.
Did you know that “Trees” in the Bible represent Mankind? In Mathew 3:10, it refers to John the Baptist’s Ministry as given to him by the Lord. John likened his Ministry to “God’s Ax, clearing the Lord’s orchards of dead wood, especially that which did not bear fruit of Repentance.”
John is described in the Bible as a Man “Clothed in Camal’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and his food was Locust and wild honey.”
The question is why would the Lord choose such a wild man as John to be his chosen spokesman to bring the message of Salvation to Mankind?
The point of this question is …no matter how inadequate you think you are, how unimportant you feel, no matter what you look like, no matter how old you are, God can call on you at any unexpected moment in time to serve Him. I know for sure as it happened to me at a time in my life when I felt inadequate in my service to the Lord.
Jerimiah 29:11 indicates that the Lord has a plan for each one of us… before we were ever born! I pray that you have found His plan for you.

THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OF GOD
God's love isn't something you can earn or lose. It flows from His nature, not your performance.
Related Scripture: Romans 5:6-8, Romans 8:38-39, Psalm 139:13-16, Ephesians 1:4-5 Bible in a Year, Psalms 29-34, Romans 5:6-8
New believers may find it difficult to accept that God loves them just as they are. After all, much of the world operates by conditional love, which offers approval and acceptance on the basis of performance. So, when we first come to Christ, there is often a natural tendency to assume we must strive to “earn” blessings.
Divine love can never be gained by human effort. There’s nothing we can do to make our Father love us more. Nor can we do anything to make Him stop loving us (Romans 8:38-39).
No matter what has occurred in your past or what you’re struggling with right now, God’s love is freely given to you. Our heavenly Father pours His love upon us without exception. It’s not as if He postponed loving you until the moment you invited Him into your life. In truth, the Lord never began to love you at all; He always has. From the creation of the world, God knew you and loved you (Psalms 139:13-16; Ephesians 1:4-5).
Rejoice in the Father’s love. Experience His peace instead of focusing only on what-ifs, and embrace a life characterized by purpose rather than fear. It’s available as soon as you prayerfully open your arms to His unconditional love.

SUMMARY OF ARTICLES
Chrisma News – Apr 14, 2026None of us knows how much time we have left. That is the sobering truth Jesus emphasized shortly before going to the cross, and in a recent teaching, Rabbi Kirt Schneider said His words still call Christians to respond to God without delay.
Pointing to John 12, Schneider highlighted Jesus’ warning:
“So Jesus said to them, ‘For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so the darkness will not overtake you… While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.'”
Schneider said Jesus’ words extend beyond His impending crucifixion and remind us that every believer has a limited opportunity to faithfully follow Him.
“Just a little while longer, beloved, and the opportunity to choose light is given to you and I. Because our life is short. Our life is like a vapor on the earth.”
He urged Christians not to delay obedience.
“So we just have a short opportunity to do the things that the Spirit’s calling us to do, and pick up our cross and obey the Lord and follow the light.”
Schneider challenged believers to examine their hearts.
“How long will we be selfish? How long will we put off mastering anger?… How long will it be, beloved, until we make a decision to truly repent, to believe and follow Jesus?”
He added, “You can’t wait and put it off because you don’t know if you’re going to die tonight. You may die today. It may be tomorrow. It may be next week. It may be next year.” Instead, Schneider pointed to the hope found in responding to God today.
“This is why the Scripture says, ‘If today we hear His voice, do not harden your heart.’ Today is the day of salvation.”
Walking in the Light
Schneider also addressed those battling fear, anxiety, loneliness and spiritual discouragement.
“How do you get out of the darkness? How do you come out of depression? How do you come out of anxiety? How do you come out of loneliness? By believing in the Light.”
He reminded listeners that Jesus and His Word are the source of that Light.
“God’s Word is light. God’s Word is a light into our path. Jesus is the Word. So we put our faith in the light.”
As fearful thoughts arise, Schneider encouraged believers to stand on Scripture.
“When thoughts of fear assail you, what do you do? You affirm God’s Word. Father, I will trust You. I will not be afraid.”
Spend time with the Lord
Schneider also pointed to Jesus’ example of regularly withdrawing to spend time alone with the Father.
“Beloved, you can’t ever know God if you don’t spend time alone with Him, just like Jesus did, oftentimes going to a lonely place to pray.”
Rather than running from difficult thoughts, he encouraged believers to bring them before God.
“Don’t run from your thoughts. Face your thoughts. Sit before the Lord in your anxiety… It will become a stepping stone for you into God’s presence.”
Schneider then returned to Jesus’ warning and encouragement.
“Beloved, I want to encourage you, believe in the light while you have the light, lest you become blinded by the darkness. This is a warning, beloved. Today, the kingdom of God is at hand for you.”
Schneider’s message is ultimately one of hope. Christ continues to call His people to walk in His Light today, trusting His Word and following Him wholeheartedly while the opportunity remains.
