You Are A Miracle

"The Miracle You Are should Manifest itself through your Fruit; Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, and Self Control." 

"The disciples asked Jesus privately, "Why couldn't we cast out that demon?" "You don't have enough faith" Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." Matthew 17:19, 20


God has a way of getting your needs met. When you plant a seed, so it can grow into a plant, God changes the nature of that seed. The power of life surges in the delicate young plant to such a great extent that even a mountain can't stop it from pushing upward! Jesus tells us that our faith in God is like a seed. When we give action to our faith and when we release it to God, it takes on a new nature. It takes on the nature of a MIRACLE in the MAKING.

What is the mountain in your life? Is it something like loneliness, loss of a job, disease, a damaged relationship, strife and trouble in the home? Maybe it's something else. Be Encouraged, because Jesus shows the way to see your mountain removed! In Romans 12:3 God tells us through Paul that we have a measure of Faith. It lives inside of you. Also, God says that this Faith comes alive by Hearing. Hearing what, you might ask? The Good News about Christ (Romans 10:17). God also says that you can put your faith into use to see your daily needs met. How you might ask? You DO SOMETHING as an act of Faith! You SOW the mustard seed smallness of your Faith into an action of Love. Then, when your Faith has been planted and is growing, that's when you speak to your mountain and watch God set up its removal.      

One of the keys to walking in the pathway of God's Miracles is to stay available to the meaning of Jesus' words. John 14:12, 13 says, "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." 

As you're believing for miracles and acting on your faith to receive greater things from God, the miracle you are already makes itself evident through your display of Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. As you display these everyday you are allowing God to move your mountain. Just imagine the mountains we can move together as we display these 9 Fruits. Living on the 9 isn't just a great saying, but it's an actual movement of God's grace and love through the Miracle that is US. 

"The Miracle You Are should Manifest itself through your Fruit; Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, and Self Control."

I like when it talked about receiving God's miracles and how we have to be open to his words.
