Or so says My brother.<br /><br />Something you wrote here about miracles came pounding back to me today. I'm fine, it didn't hurt. Thanks for asking. <br /><br />I would propose you're looking at the response to miracles through the context of religion. I had to go find the passage in Mark 16 that says "These things SHALL follow them that believe...." <br /><br />As believers we're supposed to have these things follow us.<br /><br />But you know what? Signs and miracles really aren't supposed to be for the believer. We're supposed to KNOW those things exist and happen. However, we get too tied up in the religious bandaid. Fix me now so I can keep doing what I've been doing. <br /><br />We, as believers and disciples, are supposed to be the vessel God uses to WORK these miracles.<br /><br />Signs and wonders were for the WORLD to know that HE exists. By the time the Israelites got to Jericho- the people were already trembling in fear of the people. Of their God. <br /><br />That's what they're for now. Proof that He does exist. That He did conquer the powers of death.<br /><br />There isn't much you can do about the nature of man. We are needy people - but what we can do is continue to prove that we Serve an ever loving, forever God who is powerful. Someone somewhere will be touched. It's just the way of it. It's really cool that we get to be in on it.Amelia Antwilerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584920083164732963noreply@blogger.com
