Human logic does not understand the miraculous!
We don’t understand how FATHER performs miracles. Men have tried to figure out how HE parted the Red Sea by natural means. Who cares? Does it really matter?
There is something about a testimony that conditions or positions us to receive for it provides hope from Above when a trial comes. I am going to trust GOD, HE’S the One Who works wonders. I don’t understand what HE’S going to do, I don’t understand how HE’S going to do it, but I am going to trust HIM.
We are instructed to set our hope in God, forget not the works of God, and keep His commandments. (Psalm 78:7) Those are simple commands, but many have strayed away. The testimony and the courage to obey are connected. Are you courageous enough to stand on The Word whether spoken or written?
It takes courage to obey GOD!
Courage is defined as a willingness to act despite fear, motivated by a faith in God’s power and guidance. It’s not the absence of fear, but rather the ability to face challenges and adversity with steadfastness and trust in God’s promises. We are to walk in courageous, radical obedience!
The Psalmist provided us with an example of this Truth as he recorded in Psalm chapter 78:
9 Take, for example, the sons of Ephraim. Though they were all equipped warriors, each with weapons, when the battle began they retreated and ran away in fear.
10 They didn’t really believe the promises of God; they refused to trust Him and move forward in faith.
11 They forgot His wonderful works and the miracles of the past.
They forgot past testimonies of GOD’s faithfulness toward Israel, and it cost them. Remembering past testimonies helps us keep strong in our confidence and faith in GOD.
What happens to the testimonies of The Lord if we decline in sharing testimonies? Then, we see miracles less. If we see miracles less, we expect them less. If we expect them less, we talk about them less to the point where we no longer expect miracles to happen. It’s a downward spiral and miracles become a mere part of our history some time ago that GOD used to do such and such, where so much of the church is right now.
We are commanded not to let that downward spiral happen! You and I are called to change that. We are to be a part of FATHER’S Divine Intent for miracles to occur in our lives and in those to whom we minister as Jesus commanded.
Jesus commanded in Mark chapter 16:
15 And Jesus said to them (as un), “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the Gospel to the entire human race!
16 Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned.
17 And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe: They will drive out demons in the power of my name. They will speak in tongues.
18 They will be supernaturally protected from snakes and from drinking anything poisonous. And they will lay hands on the sick and heal them.”
Jesus expects miracles to follow us. When those miracles happen, new testimonies are created to be shared and provide hope to all those in need. Instead of a downward spiral, we are to initiate an upward spiral which will reach to Heaven!
