Miracles: What to Do When You Need OneSample

PREPARE FOR YOUR MIRACLE

As you wait for the manifestation of your miracle, learn to respect the tension that exists between “now” and “not yet.” The expectation of a miracle requires the believer to find harmony between two seemingly conflicting realities. While he believes in his heart that the Word of God is true and that the promises God has made to him are reliable, he must also function as a citizen of the natural world while he waits for the promises of God to materialize in his life. 

From my perspective, there are two extremes that you must avoid as you wait for God to answer your prayers and provide you with the miracle you seek. First, avoid the tendency to only believe what you can see. But, you must also avoid the tendency to live in the make-believe world of presumptive faith. 

Learn to live in anticipation. Learn to prepare for your miracle, expect your miracle, and anticipate your miracle even while you continue to function without your miracle’s full availability. Prepare for your miracle by being a good steward of all God has given you to do. 

Believe me, if you have genuinely heard from God regarding your miracle and if you are faithful with all He has placed in your hands to do while you wait for His intervention, He will not let you down. He will show himself more than faithful to you. He will show Himself to be a miracle-working God!
