The first time you ever touched the realm of the miraculous was when you were born again. Someone preached the Word of God to you. You called on the Name of Jesus and reached out into that realm.
The experience of the new birth is the most miraculous event that will ever occur in your life. You were reborn from a death of trespass and sin and made alive unto God. You were recreated and made to be righteousness - a spotless child of Almighty God.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Cor. 5:17).
You instantly became a new creature. One translation says you became "a new species of being that never existed before."
Some people have experienced only the new birth, not realizing God has provided much more. Many have taken a step further and experienced the infilling of the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking with other tongues.
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And when they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:1-4).
With the Holy Spirit active in you, you have the ability to witness to the world of God's great power and love.
