Often we have expected God to perform miracle or at best magic on our behalf regardless of what we do or don't do,becos men want to see before before believing, they have cheated themselves out of blessing &benefit of God.There is an agreement between man &God upon which both parties can function effectively and this has been His word,the amount of it,u know is the quantity &quality of the benefit u get,He created all things by the word Jn 1/3,and still sustain all things by the same word Heb 1/3,which is the power of God.He would not do anything outside His word even ur expected miracle will be done by the measure of His power in u which is His word.This is why He wil do &can do exceedinhgly abundantly above what u can think or hope about by the power at work in u Eph 3/20,that is by the word working in u,the power of the word in u is the measure of what God will do in u,get more power(word) to get more miracles.
