Miracles

Quotations to stir heart and mind.

IF A MAN believes in unalterable natural law, he cannot believe in any miracle in any age. If a man believes in a will behind law, he can believe in any miracle in any age.

Excellent topic about miracles. I received one of those miracles by faith when I was a child and to this day a doctor would not be able to explain how it happened. It was driven by faith in Jesus love. Miracles is indeed a manifestation of Jesus love for people who accepts and believes in Him. Unless you accept Jesus in your life no miracle will take place. The kind of faith we need these days is believing in Jesus as He is the son of God and that we surrender to the will of God not what we want. That's what happened to me. My mom's faith and love for me was just the start of it all and the rest is God's works. It was not easy to surrender your faith in God but in need when bad circumstances took place you have a choice to turn to God or to enemy. Remember the enemy does not and will not do any miracles!

What stir my heart and mind even more than the quotations cited are the application by men and women of varied and appropriate underlying spiritual principles (unknown today) which unleashed the miracles one after the other!

William Stringfellow's words above, are especially powerful. They point to the sadness of miracles. I have experienced miracles of healing and we are forced to ask; "if God can heal so quickly and easily why does he not simply keep us healed forever?" And we have to answer our own question that it was us who fell and it us who are sinfull and need to walk closer to God; and then when the time is right we will go on to heaven where there are no tears and no illnesses. I must say I am a little sad as I write this. Things could have been so much better had we not fallen as a human-race. God is so perfect and his ways are so safe and healthy. Why could we not keep his laws so that we remained whole and holy? But all things good will happen in God's time. Glory to God and may he be blessed forever.

I believe because I know the Great Physician. I believe because I have seen the Great Physiocian at work. I believe because I have had the Great Physician work His power and love on me.
