Are you ready to receive your miracle?
Your miracle is ready for you!
That’s right, God is ready, willing and able to change your world through His supernatural, miraculous intervention in your circumstances!
Let’s be clear, God is not an ATM machine, nor is He Santa, but I do believe God is a loving Father who delights in blessing His children.
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? So, if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
(Matthew 7: 7—11)
God is forever faithful to His Word, (meaning scripture), and always attentive to His word, (meaning promises). One of the keys I have learned in life is that God desires to see me extend myself in faith which looks like depending on Him. Therefore, sometimes we must make ourselves ready to receive our miracle, and that looks like living in faith-filled expectation.
I have also found that it doesn’t matter who initiates the miracle. Sometimes God initiates the promise through scripture – His Word is our book of promises clearly demonstrating the nature of God’s heart for us.
This means you can apply the scriptures to your life and be blessed by God. God also speaks through prophetic words which, when tested, can be the catalyst for the faith we need to step into God’s provision.
Sometimes it is our need or desire that initiates God’s miraculous intervention. Jesus explained this with the parable of the Persistent Widow. “Keep knocking”, said Jesus as He told His disciples this parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up, (see Luke 18: 1—8).
Faith causes us to see (in what I call our ‘faith eye’) what we cannot yet see in the natural. Faith causes us to see those things God has promised and prepared for us as if we have already received them. (Hebrews 11: 1). Abraham was commended by God for this; “And Abram believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him as righteous because of his faith.” (Genesis 15: 6)
Even when life in the natural didn’t look as God had said, Abraham still believed. “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed…” (Romans 4: 18)
What a faith hero! “By faith Abraham obeyed…” (Heb 11:8), “for he was looking forward…” (Heb 11: 10), “because he regarded the one who had given the promise to be trustworthy” (Heb 11:13).
You can trust God. He is faithful. Lean on Him and believe that your miracle is coming!
“So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3: 9)
Let us all be ready to receive our miracles. I’m very excited for Miracle Sunday on the 25th.
