This writing is to support and encourage those believing for a miracle.
1. The Lord still does mighty works for His people in the visible, physical realm:
Psalm 27:13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
So when you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, remember and be confident of this: you will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. That means right here in the material world.
2. Ask, Seek, Knock
Matt 7:7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
The Lord our God cannot lie. If He said it, He meant it and you can hang onto it like a life rope and not be disappointed just do not let go!
Notice the finality and all encompassing Words the Lord uses:
For everyone who asks receives..
The way ^^ this is written in means everyone with no exceptions.
Yes, there are people who would say "well brother D I have asked for lots of stuff that I did not receive."
To which we should refer to:
Heb 6:12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
Through faith and patience we inherit the promises. Matt 7:7 is a promise which means we inherit it through faith and patience. How many have failed the patience test? Many.
The Lord knows every detail of our situation. There is no aspect of it He has failed to consider. He knows how every possible scenario that might happen in your life will play out. He is the Master Chessplayer, He knows the last move before He makes the first move.
In this we can rest with confidence. Our God who knows all and is all powerful has everything under control even when everything looks completely out of control. We cannot handle completely out of control but for Him nothing is impossible we just have to let go of our preconceptions and preconditions of how the Lord "has to" answer in any given situation.
He who parts the Red Sea and raises the dead can surely ensure victory for you at the end. How and when your victory come are completely His domain, not ours. Chances are good that the way He answers you have not even considered yet. One thing He has made me confident of after seeing many miracles is if we trust Him, in the end we will look back in victory on our situation and be satisfied. We will know that He did indeed come through for us according to His Word and our faith.
We have to be patient, and rest in Him. Miracles by definition are out of our hands. If the answer was within our power we would not need a miracle. Our Lord is in the miracle business. Bring Him your faith, His Word and wrap it all up with thanks and rejoicing for the answer is surely on its way.
Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
grace and peace
