Miracles. What does it
take to experience a bona fide, too-good-to-be-true, honest-to-goodness
miracle?
Why are miracles a way of
life in Africa and in other Third World nations but are scarce in the Western
church?
Where are the miracles?
Some great theologians
believe that the age of miracles has passed. I feel sorry for those particular
theologians, don't you?
I choose to believe.
I
choose to stand in faith for a miracle of epic proportions in spite of the
winds of circumstance that blow ferociously and in defiance of the clouds of
doubt that loom threateningly over my life.
The Israelites crossed on dry ground when the Red Sea parted |
I choose to pray.
I
choose to pray without ceasing and to push mountains out of the way while on my
knees. I choose to stay in the prayer closet until hell surrenders with just a
whimper of protest.
I choose to declare.
I
choose to declare the goodness, the power and the authority of God over every
impossibility in my life.
.
I choose to declare the things to come and to usher God's promises into every circumstance by the words that I boldly speak.

I choose to fast.
I
choose to fast until a breakthrough occurs in the circumstances of earth.
You know, every man or woman who saw the miraculous occur in the Bible chose to fast rather than to faint.

God has not changed. The
same God who parted the Red Sea, who closed the mouths of lions and who
protected three men in the fiery furnace is the God of me.
The same God who turned
water into wine, who raised Lazarus from the dead and who fed a hungry,
ravenous crowd with five loaves of bread and two fish is the God of today!
The God of Acts is the
God of now. The God of Moses, Abraham, Esther, Hannah, Peter and Paul is the
God of you. His hand still moves ... His power is still strong ... and He
always has the last word. Always!

I believe that we are about to see blind eyes instantly be restored to 20/20
Jesus healing the blind |
I believe that babies
will be birthed from formerly infertile wombs, that prodigals will come home
and that doors of destiny will be opened in a "suddenly"! God's hand
is extended still, and He has not changed.
Jesus healing the sick |
The miracles of the New
Testament are about to become the expected occurrences of daily life in the
21st century. His power is headed toward Earth in an avalanche of grace and
goodness. Time does not lessen the authority, resolve or intention of God.
I choose to believe in God's Word - the BIBLE ...
I will pray ... I will declare ... I will fast ... will you? Your miracle may be just one choice away.

Would you want to have a
deeper relationship with God?
God has made it possible for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in your own life
by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, and have
eternal life.
Say the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and
my sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past
sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid
sinning again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died
for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my
life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that
according to your Word, I am now born again.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me
obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your Word - the Bible.
Please use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

“I believe in miracles”
John W. Peterson Carlton C. Buck
lyrics
Verse
Creation shows the power of God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
Chorus
I believe in miracles, I've seen a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily push its way up through the stubborn sod;
I believe in miracles, for I believe in God!
I believe in miracles, I've seen a soul set free,
Miraculous the change in one Redeemed through Calvary;
I've seen the lily push its way up through the stubborn sod;
I believe in miracles, for I believe in God!
I cannot doubt the work of God,
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
There's glory all around,
And those who see must stand in awe,
For miracles abound.
The love of God! O pow'r divine!
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.
'Tis wonderful to see
The miracles that He has wrought
Should lead to Calvary.
