Almost....right here:
Romans 4:19And
being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when
he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's
womb:
20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
1. He did not consider the physical 'reality' of his situation:
And

2. He did not stagger, question, doubt the promises of God:
20He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
3. He was fully persuaded, he knew the Lord could and would act on the promise:
21And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
4. The Lord was please with this ^^ (Abraham received his miracle):
22And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
The only part of the miracle process, and its a big one is remaining in this state in patience. We must hold onto faith in patience. That's it.
So when the Lord tells us, promises us this:
Matt 7:7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If
ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,
how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to
them that ask him?
Are these promises ^^? You bet they are. So what must we do?
1. Do not consider the physical 'reality' of the situation.
2. Do not stagger, question, doubt the promises of God.
3. Be fully persuaded, know the Lord can and will act on the promise.
4. Be patient in faith.
We all need answers to prayers, many of us need miracles. This nobody who writes to you is always completely in need of the Lord's working hands. The Lord has shown us the way, let us follow it.
grace and peace
