Miracle or Lifestyle?
Are you still waiting with great expectation for your next miracle? Well… that’s great! However there needs to come a time in our lives, when our level of faith augments from little faith to great faith. In other words, in all actuality – Why did Christ perform miracles? Was it not to affirm His character among the non-believers, increase their level of faith, and to draw them into a trusting relationship with Him? (St. John 4: 48)
A miracle can be defined as an act of God that can be identified by both believers and non-believers; and that defies the laws of nature.
As we do a little research we will readily discover that every miracle is associated with some degree of faith. The manifestation of the miraculous is primarily for those who are still yet “babes” in their level of faith concerning the Lord. For those who still need the Lord to “perform” a great task…. In order to solidify their believe in who He is.
So, let’s climb down out of those high-chairs, take the bibs from around our necks and walk in the assurance of every Word that God has spoken! It’s time for us to live a lifestyle of daily occurrences that defy the laws of nature. It’s time for us to walk in the confidence of the Lord that is recorded in I John 5:14. It’s time for us to EXPECT God to be faithful to His Word. It’s time that we begin to understand WHO God really is and not seek has performance to valid His authenticity,
How do we increase of level of faith?.... By getting out of the boat! In other words …by coming out of our comfort zones and trusting God to do exceeding, abundantly MORE that we could ever ask or think… And know that He will do it according to that power that works, lives and reigns in us. (Ephesians 3:20) We increase our level of faith by standing on the Word of God – REGARDLESS!
We are all excited when we see God move in a miraculous way. Miracles are great!!! However, we should no longer NEED a miracle as a platform for our faith in God. By now, in our walk with the Lord, our lives should daily reflect a revealing of the promises of God. So…Come on now… The world needs to see US; the true believers of God, living a lifestyle that is “Faith” filled and not join with them in a “Fear” filled lifestyle. YES! Our walk should prove to be a lifestyle of the daily manifestations of God’s miraculous power….Nevertheless, we should have reached the level of spiritual maturity that we are no longer “fleecing” God!!!
