The Best Miracles are the Ones You Never Asked For

Sometimes we receive miracles we never knew we needed or wanted.
God who knows everything always has our best interests in the forefront of the battle.
There are many times when we do not ask God for something, and He blesses us with a beyond than perfect blessing.
One example is from the contemporary Christian artist Natalie Grant. She tells of how her and her husband had difficulty baring kids. After treatments, they had twins. The doctors told her and her husband that they would no longer be able to have any more children. She was blessed with another child after she was told this by the doctor. She now says she likes to say that her little girl is the blessing that she never prayed for.
It is in these instances when one hears stories like this that remind us that God is always in control. He sees us and gives us blessings when we follow His word. This is why we thank Him. This is why we praise Him. This is why we can say He is the one true Christ.

Israel As a Nation

Israel May 14th, 1948

The Lord gave the land of Israel to His people after He had miraculously delivered them from the land of Egypt. He wanted a special people to serve Him. He wanted them to enjoy the land that He had blessed, a land that was fruitful because He had given it to them to serve Him.
The children of Israel turned away from the Lord to serve other gods. Gods who had not delivered them from the Egyptians-gods who had not opened the Red Sea for them. God therefore allowed the children of Israel to be taken into captivity by the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Medes, the Persians, the Greeks, and other foreign armies. He did this hoping they would turn from their evil ways but sadly most of the children of Israel continued in their sins. The children of Israel were thrown out their homeland for hundreds of years. After years of hardships and severe persecution from anti-semitic groups, the Lord gave the Jewish people back their homeland. In 1948 the land of Israel became the homeland of the Jewish people once again.
The Lord delivered His people throughout ages. The following title is a DVD series that recounts different miracles that occurred in the blessed land of Israel: Against All Odds: Israel Survives. It can be found on Amazon. These miraculous stories told in this set should inspire and increase ones faith.

When We Love God Part 2

How many of you have heard of the truly miraculous story of Nate and Marj Saint, Jim and Elizabeth Elliot, Ed and Marilou McCully, Roger and Barbara Youderian, and Pete and Olive Fleming.

This story is a true example of people that totally loved God. They were so sincere about God and knew that He is real that they had to tell the natives of Ecuador about Him.
The Ecuadorian natives were ravaaged by hate. They never knew peace.
These missionaries had to tell them about Christ even if death came upon them.
Death did come to the missionaries when they went to give life and peace to the souls that were tortured by sin.
It took the death of the five missionary men to save the natives.
The natives conscious bothered them for the cruel act and acts they had done their whole lives.
But Christ created  a miracle and the widows of the men that died saw the vision which they had hoped.
The natives accepted Christ!
They stopped murdering their friends and families!
When we love God...He gives us the desires of our heart!

The book by Elisabeth Elloit gives extremely more insight into how miraculously these natives were saved.

When We Love God Part 1

How many times must we as people see the anger of the Lord poured out unto us?
Why must we have an excuse for trampling Christ's blood?
Christ died for the sins of the whole world and when those of us who have received Him into our hearts do not testify of Him and are ashamed of Him it angers Him. Many of us claim I love the Lord, but do we really?
Many people think because Christ died for them and because they have invited Him into their hearts, they can do whatever they want for the rest of their lives.
Christ is a jealous God!
He is angry with the wicked everyday!
He hates the workers of iniquities!
He does not like it when people who claim to be of Him, who say they love Him, do not the works that He commands.
People have come to think of our Christ Jesus as some Greek mythological god that if you beg Him enough He will come and help you.
Christ created hell for the wicked.
Yes, He even created it for all those who want to sin yet say they follow Christ.
He says ALL sinners will have their part in the lake of fire.
People who say I went to church at one point in my life will not be going to heaven. Christ does not want people who went to church.
He wants people who accept Him into their hearts, souls, bodies, and mind.
He wants those who committed their lives to Him.
He wants those who would and will lay their lives down for Him.
Is your life on the alter for Him?
He died for you!!!
Can we not give our Creator at least our life to serve Him?
He has already served us.

He has blessed us with healing, salvation, strength, power, faith, love, heaven...
What more do we want...?
He was only human!
But He did this for us.
Do you love Jesus?

Spring

Spring is a wonderful time when we can reflect on the many blessings and miracles Christ has given us. 

When we awake in the morning, we awake to the sound of birds singing, chirping, and maybe even chimes chiming. 

The earth is awaking to new life for the new year.

As we walk outside, we smell the air that is full of life. We see the beauty of the many different colored flowers that bloom and give off their comforting perfume. 

The dew is cascading the vibrant green grass as the sun shines through the trees and whispers hope into the world. 

The world is at peace...even for just a moment. 

 It can give us an assurance of hope that we need for this day. 

The day that we need it, and tomorrow, we can awake and once again be enveloped in the beautiful glory of His majesty.

For All Eternity

For all of eternity the Bible says we will be thanking God for all of the miracles He has done for us in our lives. We will be thanking Him for all of the miracles he has done in our friends or our families lives.
Christ has done so much for us we can not even begin to say thank you to Him.
Can that be fathomed?
Can you or I imagine thanking someone for ever!?
WOW!!!

The Answers Christ Gives Us

I am sure all of us have asked God for something and have received an answer that did not seem to answer the question we had asked.
Christ sometimes answers our requests in a way that would not have seemed convenient for us, yet in the way He answers us...we could never imagine the request answered any other way.
God has this ability to astonish us almost beyond belief when He decides to give us what we never knew we wanted.
He is an awesome power that continues to amaze us when He answers us.
He did not only give His Son for us-no! that was not enough-though that would have been enough, He guides us through each day and answers each question we ask.
How He answers us is astonishing!
Jesus is a wonderful Savior!
I hope you know that even though our prayers might not be answered the way we might want them answered, they are answered in the way that will strengthen or renew our lives for more fulfillment in Him. We always know that Jesus always has a perfect plan for us that wait on Him and trust Him to guide us with our lives. He hears every single prayer that His saints pray to Him. He is not slack concerning His promises as some men count slackness.*
I hope you all have a wonderful day/night.

*2 Peter 3:9
