How To Receive A Miracle! by Jeel: 10:46am On Aug 15, 2011 |
Have you ever thought that it’s easier to believe God will work a miracle for someone else than to believe He’ll work one for you?) A woman wrote me not long ago and shared that she was a well-educated person who had made a large income—until her crack cocaine addiction ruined her life! She said that she “lived with crooks and collected aluminum cans to pay for her habit”! But one day she had a glorious, life-changing experience with God. He totally delivered her from drug addiction; restored her economic status tenfold; and gave her countless opportunities to witness for Christ! This is a miracle, and your loving heavenly Father wants to give you miracles too! There is no such thing as a “hopeless” situation. Our Father God specializes in “impossible” situations and delights in giving us miracles. All we need to know is how to receive them! God Sets the Stage for Miracles Let’s look at II Kings 3 to find out how you can receive your miracle. The story is of two kings: Jehoram, the king of the ten tribes of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of the two tribes in Judah. The ten tribes under Jehoram were very ungodly, but Jehoshaphat served God with all his heart and led his small tribes to do likewise. Every year, King Jehoram received thousands of sheep and goats from the king of Moab. For 150 years, Moab had paid tribute to Israel—since the time David conquered Moab. Mesha, the then-present king of Moab, decided to stop paying the “tax.” King Jehoram was deeply concerned over this loss to Israel’s economy. So he asked Jehoshaphat for help. (See II Kings 3:7.) Should Jehoshaphat have been helping an ungodly king fight his battles? Certainly not! Jehoshaphat, in his desire for peace, did not do what God really wanted him to do; he made an ungodly compromise. Jehoram also made an alliance with the king of Edom, and the three kings prepared to go to war with Moab. (See II Kings 3:9.) God Has a Miracle for Every Crisis While on their way to Moab, the army ran out of water and it looked like God was against them. Jehoshaphat said, “…Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha.…And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him” (II Kings 3:11,12). King Jehoshaphat wanted a word from the Lord. And when you hit a crisis, you need to call on God, too. He alone has a “sure word” of wisdom for your situation. The three kings went to Elisha, and the prophet spoke to them very bluntly. Elisha said that he wasn’t the least bit interested in the idolatrous Jehoram; but for the sake of Jehoshaphat, Elisha prayed and God answered his prayer. (See II Kings 3:14.) God Has a Part for You To Play When you ask the Lord for a miracle, He will usually give you something to do. This is your part to play in the miracle—an opportunity to put your faith into action. The word Elisha gave to the kings required action on their part. (See II Kings 3:16-18.) I have found that God usually asks something practical—our obedience to His command causes the miracles to come. If you say, “I’m too busy to follow God’s lead,” then you’ll miss your miracle. The kings and their armies did as they were told, but nothing happened right away. Watch it—there is a testing time after you do the will of God, before you see your miracle. Their miracle didn’t come on the same day—it came the next morning. (See II Kings 3:20.) What is God’s timing for your miracle? Jesus purchased every miracle you could ever need 2,000 years ago. All you need to do is ask, “Father, in Jesus’ name, I need my miracle now!” Then do what He tells you to do. Stand in faith during the time of testing and YOU WILL receive your miracle. 2348062226124 for prayer and counseling |
