Many Miracles?
Many tend to want a miracle when they want some intervention in life..
A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws.[1] Such an event may be attributed to a supernatural being (God or gods), a miracle worker, a saint or a religious leader. Theologians say that, with divine providence, gods regularly work through created nature yet are free to work without, above, or against it as well.[2]
The word "miracle" is often used to characterize any beneficial event that is statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature, such as surviving a natural disaster, or simply a "wonderful" occurrence, regardless of likelihood, such as a birth. Other miracles might be: survival of an illness diagnosed as terminal, escaping a life-threatening situation or 'beating the odds'. Some coincidences may be seen as miracles.[3]
================================================================
Yet a miracle is not always The Best from God - because it is often just a desired quick fix to cover some emergency situation! While there a few very special times when perhaps such a condition exist - most times if we lived our lives in a truthful God directed way there would not be any emergency!
I know that there are many who were brought up going from one emergency situation to another as their normal life experiences... This is sad because then they never get to use their God given freedom of choice to manage their life.
This is where much of the world has gone the past fifty years - here in the US...
** Chasing the hype and drama of the world system!
There are three types of miracles in today's world:
1) Start with the most sought after Blessings of God!
These are the ones which are seen in the Holy Bible and in the lives of some people today!
{Prayers to The Lord Almighty God who brings miracles is outside both time and space!}
2) New Age fallacy - is the kind found in " A Course in Miracles or The Secret " by Maianne Williamson
This is the idea that all you really need to do is get your thoughts in tune with the Universe! Whatever that means! So you just get your thoughts in tune with the "universe" is self-empowered is not humbling yourself before the Creator of the Universe!
3) Religious Fallacy - While using the name of God is actually a " Prosperity Gospel " - it is more a name it and claim it type of belief! Is a similar trap. It should not be denied that the faith of personal prayer does have a connection - yet pushing it too far will may appear that it was a personal not God which made the outcome! {Prayers for a miracle involves both human and God!}
*** We should not fall into a trap of becoming convinced that either we are not praying long enough or because your faith is too weak... All this puts too much emphasis on our role in whatever happens or not!
Remember no matter what you do or not; we could not force God into doing or not doing anything!
Learn to pray for the Blessing of The Lord God in your life. Because Blessings go on beyond just the moment of need... The Blessings of The Lord God are available when you earnestly seek them through fasting - prayers and supplications...
Seek the Blessings!
