 Believe God For Your Miracle

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Matthew 28:18

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. Romans 8:37

Our Jesus conquered death, hell and the grave, and He has all power to conquer all for us.  Jesus is our great Redeemer; He is our Great Physician; He is the Prince of Peace; He is the Great Deliverer, and He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. And in the all-conquering name of Jesus Christ we become more than conquerors as He does for us all that which we cannot do for ourselves.  The bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 1:20, “All the promises of God are yes and amen.”  We know that healing and prosperity is God’s will for every believer.  3 John 2 says, “Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”  Yes, it is God’s greatest desire that we would walk in abundance in the current time of life.  Just as much as Jesus was the substitution for our sin, so was He the substitution for lack in our lives.  Just as we see ourselves forgiven, we must see ourselves blessed according to the Word of God. No matter what our circumstances may look like, God’s Word is true and it never changes:

Bless the LORD, O my soul;  And all that is within me, bless His holy name!  Bless the LORD, O my soul,  And forget not all His benefits:  Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction,  Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things,  So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm 103:1-5

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19.

Yes, we can dominate and utterly master all circumstances supernaturally by a simple faith in God's Word. We can have faith based upon the Integrity of the Word of God alone.  We can live by faith in the Word of God, based upon the sole foundation of the Authority of God's Word. Yes, God had promised in His word, Exodus 23:20-28, that if His people would obey His voice and do all that He speaks, then He would an enemy to their enemies and an adversary to their adversaries. He promised that His Angel would go before them and bring them into the land of their enemies and He would cut them off.   Because God is God and He is the LORD, victory is guaranteed for His trusting ones no matter what the battle or circumstance that they might face (Deuteronomy 1:30, 20:1-4, 2 Corinthians 9:8).

Yes, God is able to make all grace abound toward His trusting ones, so that they, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have abundance for every good work. He desires to perfect, strengthen, and settle them. He desires to bless and prosper them in all things and be in health just as their soul prospers. He desires that His people search for truth daily, reading scriptures and asking the Holy Spirit for enlightenment and not be led by the worthless shepherds, who eat the fat of the elect (Zechariah 8-14). Replacement and dispensation theology has been used by worthless shepherds to confuse and belittle the elect, to control the elect and to eventually condemn those who did and taught the way of lawlessness, to the extent of living continually in sin. But we are all members of the household of God with full rights to all the promises and full responsibilities as heirs of Christ and we choose either the blessings or the curses God placed before our forefathers at Sinai.

Yes because of Jesus and His name we can cast demons out from the inside of our bodies and the outside of our bodies, from in and around the home and family until we feel that we have gotten rid of the thief that is Satan and/or his hordes who want to steal away the gifts that God wants us to have. (We do not ask for a thief to come into our body or be around us, they just do it without any prompting from us.)  Although there is nothing we can do to remove the false prophets and teachers from our midst as this is predicted in God's word, what we can do is to warn others.

Yes, in all things we can through our faith have victory if we focus on Jesus.  He alone can give us the victory. God will always help us when we ask. We just have to make sure to get rid of the thief before we pray because many of the good gifts of God are stolen from us, often before we ever know that they were directed at us. God’s word is true:

For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. Romans 12:3

"I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.  Galatians 2:20.

We all need a miracle at some time simply to jump-start our faith. If it weren't for miracles, we wouldn't grow to the point where we can walk in the blessings of God. A miracle is a supernatural intervention of God in a crisis situation. A blessing is still God's power, but it flows through natural channels. Blessings are better than miracles. If we live our life from one miracle to the next, we will live from crisis to crisis.  It's better to be blessed with good health than to always need divine healing.

God's will is for us to walk in blessing. All of us have needed a miracle in the past, need one now, or will need one in the future. And we don't wait until a storm hits to learn how to believe God for a miracle. During a storm, emotions will cancel out our faith. But the good news is that we have enough faith to believe for a miracle. The truth is that we can't get any more faith than we already have.  God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. God gave us all the same measure of faith.  Paul said that he used the faith of the Son of God, Jesus. And we have the same amount of faith that Jesus has. That should be enough!

God has created order in this universe. Everything in our physical world is orderly including the fact that the sun rises consistently each morning and it’s not a random act. Unfortunately many of God’s people believe that miracles are a random act of God that is dependent on His moods. You pray for a miracle but you don’t know if you will receive one because it’s dependent upon God’s mood at the particular moment!   Yet, God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is forever faithful and the kingdom of God operates under the law of faith (Romans 3:27). We accept that there is a law of gravity which tells us that if we jump of a high building we will be killed. But if we cooperate with the law of gravity we will be fine. So when someone is killed by gravity, God had nothing to do with it? He simply set up the law of gravity. Similarly to receive a miracle from God, we must recognize that miracles are not just hit and miss but we can tap into a miracle.  We learn the laws of God and how they work, and miracles happen.

God is always a miracle working God and is always wanting to move on our behalf. God is for us -He is a good God.  His desire is for us to prosper (Psalm 35:27). His will is for us is to be healthy  and wealthy (3 John 1:2). His will is for us is to be above only and not beneath (Deut. 28:13).  But we must through our faith plug into God and release His power and ability in and through us. And then we can see the power of God operate in our lives and circumstances.

God has created us in His image including having a free will and making our own choices. We are the ones who control God's ability in our life. God doesn't. It is God's power and His ability, but it's up to us to let His Spirit and power work in us. God’s word is unchanging:

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man,  that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,  may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height- to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,  to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:15-21

God will never violate our will. He has chosen to operate in us and through us.  Satan can't stop God's power, but we can by our believing or unbelieving!  God wants us to have many miracles but we must use our faith and believe!  Early in my youth the LORD spoke to me and told me that He wanted me to speak in tongues, (pray in the Spirit). So I agreed to His request and asked some people to pray for me about it. They prayed and a warm feeling hit my belly and came up to my mouth but it never came out because I kept my tongue still and didn’t cooperate with the Spirit and utter something even though the bible stated:

And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Acts 2:4

Over the next few months I became thirsty and hungry to have the Baptism of the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, that I finally in faith spoke the words that the Spirit gave me and it was first a few syllables and then it became a language. And now I can pray in tongues any time I want for the Holy Spirit with His mighty river is there in my inner being to let it flow whenever I open my mouth and release it. But it is and it remains my choice.  Similarly it’s my choice to pursue Spiritual gifts, including the gifts of healing and miracles and to allow them to operate in my life and circumstances.  By my faith I determine whether I can speak things into existence as the Spirit gives me the faith and favor. God’s word is true:

 Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I do not know a man?"  And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.  "Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. "For with God nothing will be impossible."  Then Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:34-38

The angel came and spoke to Mary of her coming miracle. Then the miracle happened when Mary answered  "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." God spoke a miracle into existence by His word and Mary accepted God’s word.  So to have a miracle we need a word from God about our particular need which we receive through prayer and seeking.  Then we stand on the seed, which is the Word of God (1 Peter 1:2-3) and confess it. As a result the seed or the sperm of the Word of God in due season  gives us our needed  miracle. God’s word is true:

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." Romans 10:8-11

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony.  By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.  By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, "and was not found, because God had taken him"; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:1-6

A miracle begins when the Word of God enters into our hearts and germinates and we conceive a miracle. Sometimes we receive a miracle as a gift through someone else's faith. But we can't depend on someone else always; God wants us to be able to conceive a miracle.  We need to have a fresh word from heaven for our need. Without planting the Word of God in our hearts we will not receive a miracle just like a farmer who will not receive a harvest if he didn’t plant any seeds even if there is a time of sowing and reaping (Galatians. 6:9).

Yes, there is a law of sowing and reaping in the natural and in the supernatural. Farmers believe that if you plant wheat, you get wheat. If you plant corn, you get corn. They don't question it-they are simply laws.  But the problem is that in the supernatural God’s people have not received a word from God, but usually a false word from other men. So if they believe men rather than God they will not receive their miracle. They need to receive a word from God and then stand on it until they see their miracle even if the devil fights them and they just have more problems.  They can choose to believe God and His word and have the absolute confidence that God's Word is going to prevail in their lives for God’s word is true:

I will love You, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;  My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;  My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.  I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised;  So shall I be saved from my enemies.  Psalm 18:1-3

As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven;  He is a shield to all who trust in Him.  For who is God, except the LORD?  And who is a rock, except our God? It is God who arms me with strength,  And makes my way perfect.  He makes my feet like the feet of deer,  And sets me on my high places. Psalm 18:30-33

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:  "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,  Who bring glad tidings of good things!" But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, "Lord, who has believed our report?"  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:14-17

Yes, there is a physical world and there is a spiritual world. The spiritual world created this physical world. There is a spiritual reality for everything physical. And we can choose to be moved by the physical world or by the Spiritual world. Our free will and faith determines the outcome and demons or negative circumstances have nothing to do with it. God is waiting on us to stand against the devil and bring things into being.  God’s word is true:

And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, there was an army, surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, "Alas, my master! What shall we do?"  So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, and said, "LORD, I pray, open his eyes that he may see." Then the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

So when the Syrians came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, "Strike this people, I pray, with blindness." And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.   Now Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." But he led them to Samaria. So it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, "LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and there they were, inside Samaria!  Now when the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, "My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?" But he answered, "You shall not kill them. Would you kill those whom you have taken captive with your sword and your bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and go to their master." Then he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syrian raiders came no more into the land of Israel. 2 Kings 6:15-23
