How Do We Get A Miracle?

 Miracles are answers to prayer where God changes the 'reality of something in our world.

There are facts and there is truth….for instance the facts can be that  the doctors have said a person has 'incurable' things going on in their body, but the truth is, healing cam come  because 'greater is He that is in the person, than he that is in the world.'

And we do not trust  in what we say as much as what we say that is spiritual agreement with God and will bring 'spirit and life' to the situation–it is His power not ours.

I have seen instant miracles, instant healings….each have been different, and each a testimony to God's goodness. Many have also been healed by doctors, and at times, diet and supplements.

There are no formulas but there are 'principles of prayer' that help us to stand in faith, some are outlined in the Lord's prayer.   Not formulas or law, but foundational  principles that the Holy Spirit can use in our life as we pray, i.e. acknowledging God and thanking Him (two of many).  It is so cool that we have three persons in one  God  working on our behalf.

 I am working on a book titled, THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF THE PRINCIPLES OF

PRAYER.  Hope to have it available soon.

My best, warmest advice always is to love God whether we get our miracle or not. Never confess that it is not happening….we always want to be in agreement with the Word of God that 'all things are possible.'

Who Do You Say I Am?

Recently I heard a sermon that made me spend time thinking about the scripture in the above titlle.  It is quoted from Matthew 15:16. 

The Pastor, and I don't remember who it was, said, "Jesus is asking Peter, 'Who Am I to you?'"   I am very grateful to that Pastor and I know God is blessing him, as it was one of those quotes that linger in your brain for 'good'!

Who is God to me……I have been thinking ever since.  Is He an austere far-away God declaring doom and judgment….certainly not for me.  I have know for years that the Holy Spirit is with me always.  I found it easier to relate to Jesus because we can 'see' Him with spiritual eyes from Scripture.  I am learning to know the Holy Spirit more all the time….recognizing how wonderful He is, at all He does.

I found through teaching in the SOZO ministry at Bethel Church, Redding, California,  that some of the leaders have personal relationships with God, the Father.  As I learned I was so excited to find I too, could have that.    It is a little different for each of us, but so wonderful.  Just as we relate to family members differently and friends we can relate to the Godhead personally and relationally.  They are One, yet each is a person.  It is exciting to  know them and relate to them individually and together.

It takes faith and a willingness to receive, as we learn about them from the Bible.  Jesus came to set us free but also  to let us know the Father, as He did only what He saw the Father do, and what the Father told Him;  yet Jesus was very much His own person.  It isn't easy to understand…..we just believe, accept and receive until we are on the other side of this life and it's problems.

Who is God to me….a wonderful 'Abba' who is kind, loving, and fair…..Creator of the Universe, but just Abba Father  to me.  (Rom 8:15)  How about you?
