Miracles




Do you believe in miracles? That's a question I got the other day from a colleague.

Yes I do believe in miracles. I in a way had the experience once . I know many are waiting for a miracle to happen.

It can be a lot of things: Get that job you so desperately want, get well from a sickness, get that call from a family member you been loosing track of, many many things.

God hears you, God works all the time, God helps you but he does that in HIS time.

I believe in miracles, I want miracles to happen, but miracles require one thing!

It requires you to be in a so to say desperate state.

When God do miracles to us we are in great need.

I love miracles do doubt about it, but I do prefer to live with blessings. Do be blessed all the time. To understand what He does to me.

It is great to have a miracle recovering from a severe sickness, but it is a blessing to live day by day with good health..

I once heard a preacher said: It’s always better to avoid problems, which is the result of living in blessing, than it is to be delivered out of them, which requires a miracle.

What do you think?

  1. I believe that at times God allows us to go through terrible times of pain and suffering in order to draw out our very best; we need to sink low on our knees at those times, you see, and it makes us very dependent upon His care. This is a place of deepening learning and growth. Jesus Himself suffered in order to be perfected - who am I as His humble follower to expect to walk in His footsteps and not suffer something for His sake as well?

Debate

A year ago I saw a debate on tv between one Christian British mathematician and philosopher of science named John Lennox and an evolutionary biologist named Richard Dawkins. The two seams to know each other very well and even if they sometimes really disagree on God's existanse they seem to have a rather good relationship. It is a bit pointless to have these debate since none of them want to change their oppinion no matter how wrong or right they might be. As a follower of Christ I support Mr Lennox but I have respects towards mr Dawkins. What stroke me the other day when my wife and I were at the bookstore was the many books written by Richard Dawkins where he really tries hard to convince us that there is no God. If you are absolutely confident that there is no God, why on earth do you have to write all these books!? If people don't believe there is God, why go so hard? You don't believe in Him yet you hate Him. Psalm 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There

Forgiven

Saul who later on changed his name to Paul was once a dangerous enemy to Christians. He did almost everything to hunt them down. Saul was a cruel man, responsible for the stoning of Stephen. In my view and in many others he deserved to be treated the same way, he deserved to die. But God had another plan for his life. God wanted him to serve as an example of grace (1 Timothy 1:13-16). Jesus reached out to Saul in a direct and startling way (Acts 9, 22, 26). Saul came to realise that the Gospel was true. He recognised the seriousness of his crimes against God On the road to Damascus Jesus revealed himself to Saul who was stunned and afraid but he did what Jesus told him to do. Blind for three days he waited. Imagine how terrified he must have been not be able to see. Not to be able to really understand what was going on. Once so feared but now so vulnerable A man named Ananias was sent by Jesus to lay hands on Saul and when he did so Saul did three specific things that

Task oriented!

I read a small article by Pastor John Ortberg from Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in California. He said that: "If you are a Pastor or a Church leader you have a calling far more important than you may know". Lots of Pastors or leaders are very "task" orientated. "The great danger in ministry is that we think about the task before us in ways that are too small!" Make budget, trying to fill up the church hall every Sunday, launching nice programs, Working hard to make the church and its vision so easy to understand and handle. We have a task all of us. Jesus said: " Go out in the entire world, go and make disciples. "Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you" Lets go out there....
