Jesus Is Working
Author: Pat Aman..
When we are faced with a great need, either for ourselves or for others, we should begin by humbly seeking to know God’s will in the matter: “Father, what do You want to do in this situation?”
(St. John 5:17) Jesus says, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”
(Matthew 17:20) Jesus says, “Because of your unbelief for assuredly, I say to you. If you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible for you.”
Be careful not to start or end a prayer by saying blindly, “If it be Your will.” Rather, you should seek to know God’s will in the situation and then base your prayer upon it. Praying for a miracle is welcoming a gift of the Holy Spirit to manifest. When His will is to work one, He will witness that to your heart. Then you can ask Him to perform the miracle that you know He wants to bring about.
It is often important to exercise a key to the miraculous—the spoken word. God has given us authority over disease, demons, sickness, storms and finances.
(Matthew 10:1) says, “And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.”
(Luke 10:19) says, “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
Remember that we are his disciples now. We are the ones that He has called to carry on the work of the disciples in the beginning.
Often, we may keep asking God to act, when, in fact, He calls us to employ His authority by our actions with divinely empowered speech. Then we may declare that authority in Jesus’ name: we may command needed funds to come to us, command a storm to be stilled, command a demon to come out, command any affliction to leave, command a sickness to depart.
(Mark 11: 23-24) Jesus said, “Whoever says to the mountain, Be removed and be cast into the sea and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them and you will have them. “
Believe in your heart that it has already happened!!! With the anointing of faith that God gives you, speak it forth. But remember, miracles come by faith in God’s present power, not by a ritual or formula of human works or willpower.
You need to also remember that the key to be able to have this authority in Jesus stands on where you stand in Jesus. You need to know Jesus as your personal Savior. You need to make sure that you keep His commandments. You cannot live for the Devil and then ask God to help you get out of trouble. You must come to accept Jesus as your personal Savior and then let God through the Holy Spirit start to mold you into the person He would have you to be. It will be a daily process. A daily Sanctification. You did not get where you are now overnight and it will take a life time of depending on God and His grace, to bring you where you need to be.
Asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart happens the minute you ask Him. Then you can become the clay and let Jesus mold you.
Note: I am looking forward to sharing God’s Word this coming Sunday May 3rd @ 11:15am est, in the vacant lot beside our home. It will also be live on my personal FB page- Pat AH Aman
Teaching will be on The Prodigal Son: Parable of the lost son and the loving father. Of all the parables that Jesus spoke, this one featuring the prodigal son may be the most touching and best remembered. Luke 15:11-32
And a song time for the children…
God bless each of you,
I promise not to keep you long, so you can enjoy the beautiful weather outside with your family.
We are hoping to cookout and enjoy swimming in the pool ourselves. They are saying 87 degrees….
A beautiful day to start off celebrating with God first and then Family.
