"I'm Looking For A Miracle"
A miracle is not a violation of the laws of nature.
It is God’s acting upon nature in a degree far beyond our powers, but the same kind of act as our wills are continually exerting upon nature. We do not in lifting a stone interfere with any law of nature, but exert a higher force among the laws.  (Nelson’s Electronic Bible Reference)

Miracles & Miracles Today
A miracle is simply the exertion of God’s will upon nature.

     There were miracles in the Old Testament that were divine in nature, in that God himself judged Egypt in the Exodus of the Jewish people.  He poured down His wrath with ten plagues against Egypt and protected the Jews while these events took place.  The most compelling miracle was how God's people were protected during the Passover from judgment and that wrath still reached those who it was meant to chastise.  How miraculous this event alone was! 
    
     Miracles happened throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.  One major contributor to biblical miracles was Jesus Christ.  Jesus performed miracles throughout His ministry.  He raised the dead, cast out demons, healed the sick, made the blind see and fed 5,000 with two loaves and five fishes.  Jesus' resurrection is the most widely known, discussed and challenged miracle. 
   
     Many people want miracles but the only way to get real ones is to develop a personal relationship with The Lord.  The only way to develop that relationship is based on the scripture in Romans 10:9.  "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt belive in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (The Bible). You must just ask and believe.  The point is not to be afraid but ask to ask.  Jesus’ ministry is not dead!  God answers all prayers, just believe and witness His power!  In II Corinthians 4:7 KJV, "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the Excellency of the power may be of God, and not us.  God has the power and if you have the will, He is the way.

Miracles Today
     Seventy percent of Americans polled believe in miracles.  A television program, Miracles (Fact or Fiction), takes a look at alleged miracles and religious visions occurring around the world.  A woman is reported to bleed spontaneously from her forehead, the palms of her hands, and the tops of her feet in sympathy with Christ's crucifixion on Good Friday.  And the controversial Shroud of Turin (the burial cloth that Christ was supposedly wrapped in) boasts the apparent imprint of Christ's body. A Georgia housewife, reports the Virgin Mary's apparition communicates messages to her on the thirteenth of every month are just a few miracles investigated by the show. Viewers are asked to make up their own minds based on the "never-before televised" footage.
    
     I have been a part of living miracles since I was a child.  I still remember the first time I began to have visions.  I was sitting in a room in my grandmother’s house.  Suddenly, what visually appeared to me was completely different from what was taking place in the room.  An unknown force took control of my sight and my mother’s (our) house appeared.  The vision lasted approximately 60 seconds.  It was as if I was in a trance.  I was led from the front door of our home to the back door.  I could see our living room, it was dark, and where the television was kept, I saw nothing.  The coat closest was also shown to me for reasons I did not understand and finally the room divider was lying on the kitchen table and I could see that the back door was opened.
    
     In those days, you wouldn’t dare interrupt adults as they talked. Since my sisters were in the room I told them what had just happened and they urged me to inform our mother.  It took a while to convince her that something wasn’t right at home; but finally, she did listen.
     
     As soon as we entered the front door, we could tell that our home had been violated.  Someone had stolen our television, and from the coat closet, they took -radios, cassette players and other electronic devices had been stolen.  As we looked toward the kitchen, we noticed the room divider was on the kitchen table and that the back door had been left opened.  My mother and sisters looked at me with a combination of fear and complete shock.  Things were just as I had told them.  How could that be?  As I grew older, the visions came mostly when my family was in danger.  I began to respect the miracle I was granted.  I knew that the Lord’s divine presence was in my life at an early age. 
    
     I am still amazed every time a vision comes to pass.  I can only imagine how strengthened and full of God’s love Moses felt when God first appeared to him.  God’s miracles are not dead; He speaks to us in many different ways.  But do we really hear?

Don’t Forget To Pray
Written By:  T.Dionne

When Times are hard
And it seems there’s no hope
That’s the time to try something new.
But new to you cause the price was paid.
Fall to your knees
& lift your hands with praise

Now you’re on your way.
Seek the Lord Jesus each day.
But don’t you forget to pray.

Your life has been restored
Even better than before
You’re on your way
But don’t forget to pray.

Don’t forget to pray
You know you need Him everyday
Jesus listens while you pray
Give him due praise.

Each day starts a new
Some of them with the blues
Don’t forget to pray.

Like a car without a wheel
It won’t work if you don’t kneel
Don’t forget to pray

Like a tree with out leaves
It won’t shade you when you need
Don’t forget to pray.

I have said ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most high. Psalms82:6
Is it not written in your law I said, ye are gods ? John10:34

With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. Matthews19:26

Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for I am meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Matthews11:28-30

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart ; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thine ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thine thy paths.

Be not wise in thine own eyes....... Proverbs3:5-7
Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthews5:13-16

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. IITimothy2:15

I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John14:6

All things are delivered unto me of my Father: no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Matthews11:27

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthews6:33

And be not conformed to the cares of this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Romans12:2 And this is the condemnation, that light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light , neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. John3:19-21

But the hour cometh; and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John4:23-24

It is the Sprit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life. John6:63
