I want the Bible-believing, miracle-working, powerful Gospel according to God’s Word! You can pray for an easy life, ask Him to prevent the problems, ask for a quiet time... but that means where there are no problems, there are no miracles!
We must go by faith, in obedience to what God is telling us to do. And God always makes a way. I have learned that everything God does is a miracle! If it’s not a miracle, then you or I could do it! In my life I know that it is God working when the totally impossible happens! Whatever the problem, God never, ever fails – it’s impossible! The day God fails, He’s no longer God. It’s in God’s Word, it’s His character. He’s the God of miracles! Yes, I have problems – these mean I spend much time in prayer and fasting. Why? Because you cannot have miracles without first having problems! Every problem drives me to prayer which then brings another miracle! But people aren’t prepared to pay the price. And because they don’t want the problems, they don’t see the miracles. The Bible says that ‘the things that are impossible with men are possible with God’.
The Relationship Between Problems and Miracles
Many believers seek a life free of conflict, but biblical faith teaches that problems are the necessary catalyst for miracles. According to the Gospel, divine intervention occurs precisely where human ability ends.
Why Problems Are Essential for Miracles
The Definition of a Miracle: If a situation can be resolved by human effort, it is a task. If it requires the "totally impossible" to happen, it is a miracle.
Faith and Obedience: Walking in obedience to God’s Word often leads into challenges where God must "make a way" that didn't exist before.
God’s Character: God is incapable of failure. As stated in Luke 18:27, "The things that are impossible with men are possible with God."
The Price of Seeing God Work
To experience the miracle-working power of the Gospel, one must be willing to embrace the struggle rather than avoid it. This process involves:
Prayer and Fasting: Problems should drive the believer to deeper spiritual discipline.
Shift in Perspective: Viewing a crisis not as a setback, but as the "raw material" for a miracle.
Dependence on God: Miracles are the evidence of God’s active presence in the face of human impossibility.
Key Takeaway: You cannot have a miracle without a problem. When we pray for an easy life, we inadvertently pray away the opportunity to see God’s power manifested.
