Divine Miracle

A "Miracle" is defined in the Random House College Dictionary as " an event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a divine or supernatural cause." In other words, GOD DID IT!

Dear Father, I am so thankful that You are still the God or miracles, for they do take place every day to those who ask and believe. I am a believer and one who expects miracles. Father, as I write this, names and faces come before me of people who need a miracle today. In the Name of Jesus, I ask you to intervene and miraculously show again that You are God the One who can do anything.

I have started this blog for my sweet precious sister and her family in their time of need and prayer. I know that God can work miracles and there is NOTHING, that is too great for him. My sister and her husband have just found out that their baby to be born in October of this year may never have a chance to see the world, and know what wonderful parents he/she has. The news they were given today was there is an issue with the baby that is not allowing amniotic fluid to flow in and out properly, causing the baby to fill with fluid. The condition has a name, however I was so upset upon hearing the news I can't remember the medical term for it. I am asking for all who believe in the power of prayer and that God works miracles to pray daily for a divine miracle in the life of this precious child.

As I was told the news this morning, a rush of emotion came over me, but the two things that came into my head were - Jeremiah 32:27 and 1 John 5:14-15

Jeremiah 32:27 - " I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"

1 John 5:14-15 - This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us- whatever we ask- we know that we have what we asked of him.

After the initial reaction of sadness and disbelief I have comfort to know that The Lord God of all mankind can do anything, there is nothing that is too great for him. Whether or not it is His will for this baby to live, we do not know, but I know that God can work miracles. I am asking all of those who receive this to pray for a miracle of life for this sweet baby. Not only for a miracle, but also that my sister and her husband would feel the arms of their Savior and Heavenly Father wrapped around them, that the Lord would hold them close to Him during this time of waiting and unknown.

Asking is faith in itself... every born again believer who is in Christ Jesus is encouraged to "Come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)

The Bible commands us to pray about EVERYTHING in Philippians 4:6, so that we can have the peace that passeth all understanding in verse 7. That peace is believing that God keeps his promises, and won't let us down. If we have done our part, then we must rest in the character and integrity of God that He keeps His Word. This is why Psalm 138:2 says that God magnifies His Word above all His name, because God's name is only as good as His Word.

Prayer is truly a miracle, because we have a miraculous God in Heaven, our Maker, Who loves and cares for us.

As the next few weeks unfold I am asking that you please pray that the Maker would spare the life of this precious baby if it is His will, that my sister and her husband would rest and know that God is in control and there is a purpose in all he does!

I will keep this site updated with new information as it is given.

Thank you!
