You can receive a miracle by following these
guidelines. I would love to take credit but, these are
not "my" guidelines and "I" didn't write them. This is
what Jesus said to do if you want to get a
miracle.
I am simply
someone who can testify and tell you "matter of fact",
that they work!
You think you did everything the
Bible said to do, you believed, you had faith and still
"nothing happened, and you didn't get a miracle!"
(What's the deal God!) Okay, I'm not saying this will
be easy, I'm saying "it works!"
Follow the principles set below and
your life will be changed. If you do these things you
will either get a miracle, or you will find out that God
had something even better planned for you.
(I Promise)
Ask for it!
Let's start with an incredibly
simple question, "Did you ask?" You know, God tells
us not only to ask him for what we need, but to be a
pain in the neck about it if we have to. (True)
James 4:2 -
you do not have because you do not
ask.
John 16:24 - "Until now you have
asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive,
so that your joy may be made full".
(Who's name? - Jesus' name)
I asked and I
didn't receive! Why didn't God hear me?
Be persistent - Keep asking!
Keep praying! Don't stop and don't give up - God is
true to his word!
Isn't it amazing that if a person is in a
financial crisis and only a miracle can get them
out, they will work 40 plus hours a week doing
whatever their boss tells them to do to earn a
minimal paycheck, which at the end of the week, does
not help much, but will only spend a few minutes in
prayer asking God to help.
Lets rewind a
bit and go back to the day you applied for your job.
Suppose you told your boss, hey, I promise I will come
in here a few minutes everyday,
(unless I forget) and I
am not really interested in doing all that stuff you
asked me to do, but I would really like to come in every
Friday and pick up the paycheck!
Do you suppose your boss would have
given you what you need? The paycheck every Friday? Of
course not! And, with that kind of devotion, it is
highly unlikely God will either! Jesus told us several
times in the bible how to get a miracle and how to get
answers to our prayers. Most instance's had to do with
being persistent.
Be persistent
Luke 18:1
Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all
times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
(My favorite parable)
Luke 18:2
saying,
"In a certain
city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not
respect man.
Luke 18:3
"There was a
widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying,
'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'
Luke 18:4
"For a while he
was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even
though I do not fear God nor respect man,
Luke 18:5
yet because this
widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection,
otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"
Luke 18:6
And the Lord said,
"Hear what
the unrighteous judge said;
Luke 18:7
now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who
cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over
them?
Notice that Jesus is comparing
the widow to "us" and the corrupt judge to God! Don't you
see he is telling us to literally hound God for what we
need? Many
of us have heard preached in the past, "Ask God for what
you want, then just believe. If you keep praying about
it, you are not using faith".
Don't believe
that and dont buy it! That is "not" what Jesus
told us to do and that is "not" how to get a miracle,
That is the voice of Satan talking! Jesus tells us
plainly to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking!
In Luke 11:1
when Jesus' disciples asked him to teach them how to
pray, he gave them the "Lords Prayer". Everybody stops
there! Everybody knows the lords prayer and they like to
recite it, but - READ after that!
Jesus
immediately went into a parable to explain to them (and
us) how to pray!
Luke 11:5
Then He said to them,
"Suppose
one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and
says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;
Luke 11:6
for
a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I
have nothing to set before him';
Luke 11:7
and from inside
he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has
already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I
cannot get up and give you anything.'
Luke 11:8
"I
tell you, even though he will not get up and give him
anything because he is his friend, yet because of
his persistence he will get up and give him as much as
he needs.
So, how do you get a miracle? How
bad do you want it? Bad enough to hound God, asking him
over an over again throughout your day? Praising him and
thanking him in advance for the miracle you "will"
receive? Are you willing to put in 40 hours a week
praying, asking and praising him? That's the amount of
time you put into your job for a much lesser reward.
Don't
worry, God will not require that from you,
Read Luke 18:7
again, God is awesome! but are you willing? Would
it be worth it to you to heal your child, save your
marriage or pull you out of the financial pit you've
fallen in to?
This might seem a little harsh,
but let me point out that "God is not Santa Claus".
You don't just sit on his lap and read him a list of
everything you want and that's it! Then Just forget
about it and wait.
Try to ask as
many people as you can to pray with you or for you
Matthew 18:19
"Again I say to
you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything
that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My
Father who is in heaven.
What do you suppose Jesus meant by
this? Who do you suppose this applies to? The Pope and
another real holy person only? NO! It means just what it
says it means! Any two on earth. That means you and
whoever you can get to earnestly agree with you in
prayer. There is truly strength in numbers!
Go to your church and ask the pastor
to ask the congregation to pray before or after the
service! If you don't belong to a church, call one from
the phone book and give them your prayer request! Better
yet, call every one in the phone book! They won't mind.
Praying is their business and if it isn't, it should be.
Ephesians 6:18
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the
Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all
perseverance and petition for all the saints,
Saints, buy the way, means
You!
FAST
I can tell you personally that for
me, when I needed a miracle, Fasting was like "Bringing
out the BIG GUNS" against Satan! Fasting, like
persistence, is very powerful! But once
again, make sure your prayers are lined up with God
during fasting.
Isaiah 58:4
"Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to
strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like
you do
today to make your voice heard on high.
There are a few different points to
the above scripture if you read it and the verses that
follow it, but for the immediate purpose, I will just
point out only that, "Fasting makes your voice heard
on high!" If you are in crisis, If you need a
miracle or answers to prayer, you will want your voice
heard on high.
Are you still wondering how to get a
miracle? These principles not only worked for me, God
has blessed me beyond measure! Why? Because I am so
holy? Because I have led such a blameless, sinless life
from birth? The answer is No, absolutely not! When I
really needed God, I fell on my face, begged, pleaded,
prayed, fasted and asked people to pray for me.
To put it short, I used Faith! One
does not waste time praying to a God he doesn't believe
exists! One does not beg, plead, fast etc.. if he
doesn't believe that God is able and willing to help
them.
If you are doing these things,
regardless of what you are thinking or what your mind is
telling you, you "are" putting faith into action,
and you are pleasing God! And among other things, this
is how you get a miracle.
For more
information about Fasting, read "How
to Fast".
Faith
You need
faith if you want to please God. If you are asking for
an answer to prayer, to receive a miracle, healing,
protection or even a blessing, God does reward
those who seek him!
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please Him,
for he who comes to God must believe that He is and
that
He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
How do I get
Faith? and How do I have
faith
in someone I can't even see or touch?
Miracles and Faith go hand in
hand. If what I have written so far makes since to you
or has blessed you, you need to continue on to the "Get
Faith Here" page now.
