What are the Secrets of Miracles in our Lives?

Our physical world seems to be approaching the outer limits of survival through its violation of the laws of the spiritual world. But there is what the writer call a law of miracles. It governs the question of God's willingness to suspend His natural order in order to accomplish His purpose. When He does, the result is a miracle, an overruling of the natural laws through which God usually works.

Jesus Christ introduced a new order of normality ar the Day of Pentecost -- miracles were to be normal, with the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus expected His followers to do even greater things than He did (John 14:12). We need to understand the secrets of miracles and act on them.

Firstly, have faith in God. Believe that He exists. Trust Him and expect Him to enter into communion with you, to show you His will and purpose. Next, recognize that God has total authority over demons, angels, circumstances and all of the physical world (see John 14:12). Thirdly, learn God's will in any given moment by regularly spending time with Him. Pray and ask, "Lord, what are You doing in this situation? What do You want to accomplish?" Then agree with whatever He wants to bring about.

Fourthly, take your eyes off the circumstances and the impossibilities. Look upon God and the possibilities. Don't consider that you have no money in the bank, or that the whole world is against you, or that the task assigned to you is impossible. Rather, grow strong in faith, giving glory to God.

Fifthly, be fully convinced that what God has said is going to happen. Such a belief cannot come from human effort. It comes only from depending on God, for "faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17). God's help comes when we trust Him, praise Him, and read His Word. Then His Holy Spirit quickens His Word in our hearts, and we hear Him speaking to our spirits: "This is what I am going to do. Believe it!"

Lastly, forgive. Lack of forgiveness is the major hindrance to the working of miracles in the visible world. Forgive all those who have wronged you to the point where you literally feel cleansed of grudges, resentment and bitterness, and you are actually praying for them. Husband, wife, children, parents, friends, officemates, etc. -- forgive them all. For without forgiveness we will wee no miracles.
