Expectation of a Miracle

One of the things that you rarely see in the contemporary, mainstream church is the expectation of miracles. Most of the time when I attend services on Sunday morning, rarely do I see members of the congregation exhibiting a visible and palpable desire to witness and experience the Miraculous Power of God! There's the expectation to hear a word. There's the expectation of worship and praise. There may even be the expectation of the movement of the Spirit. But it's not often that you witness the expectation of Supernatural Manifestation.

In the 21st century, this is a sad indictment on the Body of Christ. Nearly 2,000 years after Christ's death and the majority of His church (at least in America) are not witnessing His miracles, signs and wonders. Why is this the case? When you read the scriptures, on numerous occasions, when Jesus was preparing to perform a miracle, He would often say, "according to your faith, be it unto thee" (Matthew 9). It's not like God is not still performing miracles (Hebrews 13). The faith level of the church is not commensurate to receive them!
This, saints, must change. 

We have to re-establish our desire and our demand to experience the miraculous. No more settling for the natural. No more being content with the Normal. We don't serve a Natural God, we serve a Supernatural God! Take the shackles off of God and release your faith to do something miraculous in your life. I want to challenge you today. I am persuaded that there is something in your life that can only change, that can only be addressed, that can only be fixed, with a Miracle. I strongly encourage you to go to God and ask Him for the Miracle that your situation needs. Stretch your faith. Know that within your own power and resources it's not going to be fixed. But the God we serve has All Power!. Even if it's not directly related to you. It could be a loved one who's sick. It could be a friend that's going through something and there seems like no way out. You know what it is. And please hear me today. I'm not saying "pray about it". No. I'm saying, ask God for a miracle! Go to Him with the expectation of Supernatural Manifestation.

We're entering a season saints where the supernatural is going to be the norm. But you have to start building your faith now so that when the move of God starts you'll be in position to move with Him. Stretch your faith, take the limits off of God and let the Holy Spirit condition you for the Expectation of a Miracle.
