Ok, it is 4:35 in the morning and God will absolutely not let me continue in slumber. He used an approaching middle aged bladder and two ducks, who would not quit quacking at my back door to wake me up to write this one, so He must have something really important that He wants to encourage me to write. First, I must add, the ducks are in my backyard and I live in town not out in the country, but that is an entirely different story I will save for another time. I know anyone out there reading this that knows me is smiling and thinking, “Christine, Christine………..”
Well, back to it! Yes, all joking aside, God did prompt me to share something very specific this glorious morning.
DO YOU NEED A MIRACLE?
Do you believe miracles still happen? Have you forgotten that God still does miracles? I must confess, I do not usually ask for a miracle. I pray and present request to God, but very seldom do I come straight out in total and complete weakness and ask, “God, this is going to take a complete miracle. I believe you are the God of miracles and I ask according to your good and perfect will for a complete and total miracle to happen.”
I sat on my bed a couple of days earlier in the same spot I was when Squeaky and Quacky, not so gently went to work for the Lord this morning in waking me up, and said in total frustration, “I don’t know what I am expecting to happen, a total miracle? It is going to take a total miracle for this to work out!” I said this in vain and it was not a prayer to my Lord, and for this I am truly sorry, because a miracle is exactly what He delivered. The Lord brought me a peace that surpasses all understanding. This peace was the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. The next day I began to pray and actually ask God for a miracle. I knew there was going to be one even before the evidence showed up, because the power and peace of the Holy Spirit was so strong in my heart and mind. I was at total peace resting in the will of God, whatever that turned out to be. This was the first part of the miracle, which was enough. But, God did not stop there.
He delivered a full blown, shock and awe miracle that only He could deliver and I got in bed last night and went to sleep. How could I? This is why I was awoken this morning earlier than I would have liked, because I am on God’s schedule, He is not on mine, Amen! He reminded me I need to shout, praise and remind everyone out there reading this right now…
“OUR GOD IS A GOD OF MIRACLES AND HE WANTS TO DO ONE IN YOUR LIFE TOO!”
My prayer this morning is that you will truly hear this and believe. God is an amazing, awesome, powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent Lord. He wants to, through His son Jesus, receive your request and by the power of The Holy Spirit infuse a complete and total miracle in your life. Ask for a miracle!
Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that we are God's children and He does want us to come to Him and trust Him for the answer and yes even have the trust and faith in Him that He still does miracles and it is ok to ask for one. I have to confess that I have never put that much trust in Him out of either fear of dissapointment, because if I don't ask for it then He can't say no and that I think I can handle things on my own but that never turns out right:( Thanks for waking up before the roster and sharing God's word with us. Anne
Anne, thank you, and do, "ask for a miracle!" My friend read this and commented that I should have given more detail about what the miracles was. She wanted more information. If anyone wants detail, let me know and I will be happy to fill you in with exactly what was going on in my life that so desperatly required a miracle. Sometimes the miracle is in God changing your attitude or perspective on the situation. However, He is still working miracles on your behaf everyday. You are loved and so special. I pray you will be blessed supernaturally today and I am praying very specifically for God to show you a miracle. You are loved! Christine
ReplyDeleteWhy do we put God in a box? I too am very guilty of this, which is sad because it's such a simple task! I see God stirring in your life my sister and I feel blessed to be a witness!!!
