Who Am I? I am knowing and understanding the unlimited greatness of His power.

Miracles, are they rare?  Why do miracles not happen all the time?


Many believers consider miracles to be rare and precious commodities, much like diamonds and other precious stones.  

What is a miracle?  
According to Merriam-Webster online dictionary, a miracle is an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.

Many deny the existence of miracles because they violate natural law.  This is true.  A miracle by definition does defy natural law.   Why?  Because miracles are in accordance with God's Laws, the supernatural, not man made laws.  

As believers, God's laws can work everyday in our lives.  
What does this mean?  
  • It means being aware with renewed minds to what God's Word says is ours to have, to be, and to do everyday.  
  • It means knowing what Jesus did on the cross and when he rose again, and how that our lives can reflect who He is within us here on earth.  
  • It  means as Ephesians 1:17-23 (Amplified Bible) says:   [For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him,  (18)  By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),  (19)  And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength,  (20)  Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],  (21)  Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.  (22)  And He has put all things under His feet and has appointed Him the universal and supreme Head of the church [a headship exercised throughout the church], [Ps. 8:6.]  (23)  Which is His body, the fullness of Him Who fills all in all [for in that body lives the full measure of Him Who makes everything complete, and Who fills everything everywhere with Himself].

Believers can know and understand what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power.


Can you imagine knowing and understanding HIS GREAT POWER?

We must learn to match our own thinking with God's will for us in order to expect and experience the miraculous (extraordinary events manifesting divine intervention in human affairs) in our everyday lives.  "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he..."  Proverbs 23:7.  

What are your expectations today?  Do you think you can know and understand the unlimited greatness of His power?  Miracles (and so much more) can be the norm, not the exception in your life here on earth.
