We Are More Than We Know.
I’m going to take a moment to talk about miracles. Such things are what many would call the wonder or the magic of life, the unseen beauty of life that shows its face only when its timing is perfect. It’s also the faith in such things that saved my life. There are wonderful things in this life that are only an arms length away to reach, there is a song in all of our hearts that are not random but divinely given to sing our own tune to a silent world. We are the creators, or rather witnesses of a destiny set forth for us since before we were conceived, and God orchestrated a life for us that is only meant for good, and not only good, but in such perfection and overwhelming power in that which the world has never seen before. And that is what is called a miracle. There is nothing more to this life except a grand demonstration of salvation.
Surrender Is Salvation.
Obstacles and struggles are utilities of the narrative to be overcome in such a grand way that is almost like a play, good would slay evil and once again remind the world that beautiful things can happen and faith will always make a way even in our darkest circumstances, that light can in fact show us the way if we have just enough faith to take the hand reaching out to you. “A beautiful sound” is the remark that is repeated upon my heart, a sound we can’t quite locate the direction of but giving us just enough direction that ensures we’re on the right path, and the more we listen, the louder it sings a more beautiful sound. That is the Holy Spirit. The one factor that so many Christians miss and some will never reach is the purity of faith. I don’t mean external things such as how often we go to church or how often we tithe or how many good deeds we think we’ve done. I mean pure and absolute faith in the impossible, standing alone in the presence of God and believing in the unbelievable things that would confound the wise, a complete and total surrender in the very existence we are a witness to. The very same faith that Jesus told us to believe in that would give us the power to heal the sick, the blind, to raise the dead back to life and making everything from nothing. Such power is shared to us by the New Testament, “I will tear down this temple and rebuild it in three days.” The sanctified power of God that the people had to cleanse themselves for to even be in His presence is now free to all of us who simply ask, as Jesus had payed the final debt for our lives and now we are FREE to ask for Him anytime, anywhere. Believe with all of our heart and pray, believe that such things will always be possible and believe it is already yours (Mark 11:24).
God Believes In You.
Jesus wants us to be lions, to demonstrate such miracles of the Spirit by merely faith and faith alone, belief that whatever we bring to God, He will make so in the best form possible, by the healing of our minds, our spirits, to provide what we need, and ultimately strengthen our faith to be ever more perfect and more effective than ever before. That is why so much pain reaches those who pray for such character, because He BELIEVES in you as you believe in Him. Miracles do not happen randomly, but the beauty of life is revealed when that miracle was woven into so many different events playing on each other that it was almost as if such things were known of since the beginning of time, and the perfection of faith is having those impossible things made to also witness to the world that God is greater. So many in America are taught a kind of belief that we are not worthy of good things or happiness in our lives. That is a lie. Jesus had come to give us life and give us life more abundantly by the Spirit, to not be stripped but to be empowered and justified by faith in the presence of His love, that we would receive the crown of life and be made perfect by His love and His constant desire to see us soar. Make a few mistakes, feel guilty and downtrodden because clearly there’s no way out? Pray about it, and the Spirit will heal you if you have faith strong enough to believe so, He’ll dust you off and show you a purpose for such pain to find teachings in them, and become more than you ever imagined within even a few months. That’s a miracle. Fall down ten times He’ll pick you up twenty, ask for forgiveness a hundred times He’ll forgive you a million. He has never left us and prayer changes things, because in that moment you surrender your control to such beauty in miracles. A beautiful song is what it is, and what Christians must do to truly become perfect is to trust in the impossible beyond all human comprehension, to believe that we share of the same power that Jesus called on from the Spirit, and by Jesus’ authority the Spirit would come unto us and heal.
Do You Believe?
When He told Peter to walk on the water, He only said “Come.” When they asked to be healed, He simply asked “Do you believe.”, that “even with faith as small as a mustard seed, you can tell this mountain to move and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.” Pray to God and He will listen, but you must believe, and send the prayer forward like a dove that is sent ahead on your behalf, because that’s exactly what is it. Pray, and release it, and He will hear you. God healed my heart within a matter of three months at such a rate that it can only convict me to believe that greater things are in store. Every good thing must be in the belief that greater things are in store, and He delights in us when He brings joy to our weary souls. We are not meant to crawl or beg, we’re meant to run and soar. Don’t ask for mercy but ask for grace, we’re all deserving of death so asking for mercy is just asking Him not to end our lives, but that’s why He sent His son. Grace to ask for the things we don’t deserve but still have enough faith that God’s love would grant it to us despite all. So don’t mourn any longer, ask God to give us the desires of our hearts so that we can become greater than who we are now, ask for the beautiful and miraculous things of life that creates music in the greatest fashion possible. As David said in Psalms 22, let all the generations say that surely this was the Lord. That should be all of our prayers. In the gospels, a man asks Jesus to heal his child “if He can”. And Jesus replies “If I can? All things are possible for one who believes.” And the man replies “I do believe, help me to overcome my unbelief!” And that is very same prayer I have prayed, to ask for God to come through in such a way that teaches our very hearts that all things are possible through the Spirit and by the authority of Christ. We are meant for greater things in this life, for surely it is a short time we are here. So therefore, ask God for life more abundantly and live well in His purpose, for surely we would live in perfection with such guidance.
