The PATH to Your Miracle!



                                                 The PATH to Your Miracle!

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1.

• Stay positive…
• Pay attention…
BAM—There It Is!!!

         Usually when you think about a Miracle, you think about a SUDDEN
Amazing Change. However, I’m beginning to see and appreciate the PATH that some Miracles take. If you pay close attention and stay positive, you will find a stream of Blessings on its “Pathway.” In Ruth 2:16, Boaz ordered his field workers to drop handfuls of grain on purpose for Ruth to gather. God will drop little goodies (miracles) along the way as you wait for, “THE BIG ONE.”

            This waiting period can be a time of testing to see how we conduct ourselves when our circumstances are challenged, Deut. 8:2. Can we appreciate the goodness and blessings around us? Can we even see the goodness and blessings around us? For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. II Chronicles 16:9a.

            If we let the devil’s illegal suggestions (lies) overpower us, we will become negative and miss out on the blessings of God that are sprinkled along the Path. We have to purposefully look for the diamonds in all the debris. It takes a positive eye of hope to spot them. In Proverbs 4:18 it says, But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 

          Goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our life, Psalm 23:6.
  In Nehemiah 13:2, God turned the curse into a blessing.
        
                  While Waiting, Enjoy the PATH to Your Miracle!!!

Thank You for Saying NO!



                                              Thank You for Saying NO!

• God, please let me get this job…
• God, please let me marry him/her…
• God, please give me a child…

      In hindsight, I’m sure we can all look back and say: Oh, My Goodness! Thank You Lord, for not giving me what I prayed for. As a matter of fact—please forget I even asked!!!

Some prayers we have prayed could have turned out pretty SCARY if they had come true. I know God’s Love and Wisdom caused me to dodge a few BULLETS in my lifetime.  
                             Thank You for Saying NO!
     
            The Word says in I Cor. 13:9, we only know in part. Consequently, we need God’s help to know what to pray for. We can make our request known to Him, but we must humble ourselves and confess: “I Don’t Have Enough Information about the Situation.” (Therefore,) Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, Matthew 6:10.
          We can get a LOT accomplished praying in the will of God. On the other hand, we can WASTE a LOT of time praying amiss.   

         When we pray in God’s will, we work as a TEAM; He being the Team Leader. Our Faith Builds, and Power is Released. Now that’s a “Dream Team.” AWESOME!   
                    
WARNING, WARNING!!!  Proverbs 3:5-6 says to trust God and He will direct our path. We have to be willing to accept the fact that sometimes He directs us by saying, NO!
That might be a hard pill for us to swallow at times, but in the end; we can all say, Thank you.

This Might Take A Minute!




This Might Take A Minute!

• Losing 250 lbs…
• Finding a needle in a haystack...
• Looking for your keys…


          Some of the prayers we pray might take time before we can see the answer. We have to keep in mind that everything is not centered on just Us. God’s purpose goes beyond an individual’s life, especially if the prayers involve other people. It can get complicated!

For instance, a whole chapter in another person’s life might have to be played out before we see any results. It could involve lessons that they have to learn, experiences that they must experience. These Things Take Time!

These lessons and experiences could start an avalanche, a chain reaction in other people’s lives connected to the person we are praying for. The situations in those other lives might have to be dealt with, and so on, and so forth, and so on, and…   
 The circumstances we are praying for could have DEEP Roots! In other words…
                                  
                                         This Might Take a Minute!

     We love it when God blesses us suddenly. But, every suddenly has an origin. A beginning that we know nothing about. All we know is—  

                                                   SUDDENLY!
   However, sometimes our FAITH must be S-T-R-E-T-C-H-E-D. The enemy will use this waiting period to illegally suggest that God isn’t going to answer our prayers. The devil wants us to exchange our Faith and Peace for his tormenting fears. Our job is to Pray, and Believe God is working it out. Of course, keep in mind...                            
                                      This—Might Take a Minute!
