Working Miracles by Faith Lesson 2

You need a miracle in your life? So who doesn't? If you need a miracle then you needed something to happen yesterday. You can't wait until tomorrow. If tomorrow comes it will be too late. You need to do something to obtain a miracle now. Time has run out. What will you do?

The next step is to prepare the soil of your soul.

That sounds really fancy. You might be asking, "are we planting a garden or are you being serious when you say to prepare the soil of your soul?" I am being serious. And this is what you should do.

Develop the reasons why you should receive your miracle.

That's right. You need to get serious about receiving your miracle and having the attitude that you will not be denied. You can give up or toughen up. It's your choice and that is where it starts too. Jesus Christ was in the Garden of Gethsemane when he was sweating great drops of blood. It was the hardest part of his test before going to the cross to die for your sins and my sins. He asked that the cup be removed from him if at all possible. And yet he surrendered himself to the will of God and made a decision to go through with what he had to do to redeem us.

You need to look beyond your financial hardships. Yes they are real, but even more real is the promise from God that he shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. You need to look beyond the cancer that is eating your head off and know that by whose stripes (Jesus Christ's) you were healed.

And it does not matter what area of life that you need a miracle. God's Word has a promise for you. When God says something it is the truth because it is impossible for God to lie. Not only that, but he is willing to use his power on your behalf because he loves you dearly. You do not have to suffer anymore. It is by faith which comes through hearing his Word that puts his grace into action and saves you. So do the following steps now.

Remove the Grass

Remove all negative objections from your mind. You do have control over your thoughts. Use your own will power to think about the promise of God's Word concerning the area in which you need a miracle. Renew your mind with the Word of God and realize you can change your circumstances.

Dig the Soil

Dig out bad memories and past failures by thinking on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, have virtue, and are praiseworthy. You may have failed and royally messed up. You may have got yourself in a jam or have had something that has happened to you that might as well be a death sentence waiting to be carried out. I am telling you right now my friend that you do not have to go down that road to destruction. It is a deception and you can be set free. I am not denying the reality that you face and I am not asking you to deny it. I am telling you to choose to shut it down and choose to go another way and to do it immediately without looking back or allowing yourself to get sidetracked. You must decide to come to the realization that through Christ Jesus you can control your destiny.

Break the Soil

Begin by breaking from inhibiting habits. You know the things that you do that you should not be doing. Included are those things that you do in private when no one is looking as well as those things that you do that you think as long as they don't hurt anyone they are okay to do. The person you are hurting is yourself. You can stop them through the strength and the help that the Lord provides. You ask him for his help after confessing any sin and repenting of that sin. Then you fast and pray regularly and I mean daily. You may have to see your doctor before starting any fasting, but you need to fast and to pray until you have a breakthrough. Maybe you start with one meal a day or maybe you do more. That is between you and God. But I tell you that you will not get away with anything that is not done without your whole heart, mind, soul and strength put into any effort.

In other words if you cheat, you lose. You must realize that you can create a whole new future for yourself through the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. But again I can't emphasize this enough that if you cheat you will not see the results you desire or for that matter need. Are you willing to totally commit to receiving your miracle? This is not a Hollywood production. This is real life. This is your life.

Rake the Soil

Listen to me right now. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. The bible says so. It is the truth and the truth will set you free. Do this throughout the day starting right now. Rake in positive affirmations and realize you can confess your success. That's right. You can call that which is not as though it were and bring into reality that which God promises with the words which you speak. I am not talking about some chanting stuff. I am talking about lining up what you say with the Word of God because you believe it with your whole heart deep down inside you.

Love the Lord your God with your entire mind.

You see it goes like this: For spiritual things you need to meditate on the Word of God concerning your situation and the promises for what you need. For mental things you need to confess the Word of God concerning your situation. For emotions you need to imagine or visualize the promise from God's Word as having been fulfilled in your area of need. See yourself working and the money coming in to your bank account. See yourself well physically and you going about your daily business as though you had never been sick. You take medicine three times a day. Do your affirmations from God's Word followed by three times a day visualizing your self possessing your miracle.

Say to yourself

I AMRich

I AMLoved

I AMSaved

I AMDelivered

I AMHealed

I AMSuccessful

When Moses asked God his name at the burning bush, God told him to tell the people of Israel that I AM has sent you. When you say I AM sick you are taking God's name in vain. God is not sick. When you say I AM broke and do not have enough to pay my bills you are taking God's name in vain. God is not broke. And since God has redeemed you from poverty, sickness, and sin through Jesus Christ, then you are not broke or sick either. That does not mean that your lack of finances or your sick body isn't real. They are. But there is a higher law that says the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. Just like there is a higher law that allows the birds to fly and supersede the law of gravity so there is a law that was implemented when God raised Jesus from the dead.

When you are born again through Jesus Christ you are a new creation and all things are made new. You can claim a change of circumstances and bring the truth into reality and throw out the garbage that is destroying your life. And if you are already a Christian then you can take hold of God's promises and still work a miracle in your life.
