Expect Miracles

We are currently living in a society that expects nothing to happen.

What happens happens becuase "we" told it to, or it was a result of something we humans have done. Satan is using this belief and our lack of faith to gain grounds in our culture and our personal lives.

Satan takes hold of our weaknesses and makes them his stronghold. He is gaining ground and movement because we no longer show through our lives or faith that we believe in an all-powerful God. If we did we would be reminded daily to expect miracles instead of merely "hoping" that they "might" happen.

We have stopped training our eyes to even see the miracles of God everyday because our little faith is slowly waning. Times of challenge arise and we begin to cry our to God to do something while fully believing in our hearts that He will not. That is a lack of faith.

James 5: 14-18;
"Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much."

Ephesians 6:10-20;
"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel lf peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, whihc is the word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints, and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit; do not despise prophetic utterances. But examine everything carefully, hold fast to that which is good; abstain from every form of evil."

These verses encourage us how we are to live, and that is in full faith of God, praying for everything, holding fast to what we know to be true, equipping ourselves for the battle that Satan is waging, and abstaining from the sin that so easily entangles us.
