Psalms 37:4 - Delight yourself in the LORD; And He will give you the desires of your heart.

HOW TO GET A MIRACLE

You can receive a miracle by following these guidelines. I would love to take credit but, these are not "my" guidelines and "I" didn't write them. This is what Jesus said to do if you want to get a miracle.

I am simply someone who can testify and tell you "matter of fact", that they work!

You think you did everything the Bible said to do, you believed, you had faith and still "nothing happened, and you didn't get a miracle!" (What's  the deal God!) Okay, I'm not saying this will be easy, I'm saying "it works!"

Follow the principles set below and your life will be changed. If you do these things you will either get a miracle, or you will find out that God had something even better planned for you. (I Promise)

Ask for it!

Let's start with an incredibly simple question, "Did you ask?" You know, God tells us not only to ask him for what we need, but to be a pain in the neck about it if we have to. (True)

James 4:2 - you do not have because you do not ask.

John 16:24 - "Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full".  (Who's name? - Jesus' name)

I asked and I didn't receive! Why didn't God hear me?

Be persistent - Keep asking! Keep praying! Don't stop and don't give up - God is true to his word! Isn't it amazing that if a person is in a financial crisis and only a miracle can get them out, they will work 40 plus hours a week doing whatever their boss tells them to do to earn a minimal paycheck, which at the end of the week, does not help much, but will only spend a few minutes in prayer asking God to help.

Lets rewind a bit and go back to the day you applied for your job. Suppose you told your boss, hey, I promise I will come in here a few minutes everyday, (unless I forget) and I am not really interested in doing all that stuff you asked me to do, but I would really like to come in every Friday and pick up the paycheck!

Do you suppose your boss would have given you what you need? The paycheck every Friday? Of course not! And, with that kind of devotion, it is highly unlikely God will either! Jesus told us several times in the bible how to get a miracle and how to get answers to our prayers. Most instance's had to do with being persistent.

Be persistent

Luke 18:1 - Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,         (My favorite parable)

Luke 18:2 - saying, "In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not respect man.

Luke 18:3 - "There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'

Luke 18:4 - "For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, 'Even though I do not fear God nor respect man,

Luke 18:5 - yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"

Luke 18:6 - And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge said;

Luke 18:7 - now, will not God bring about justice for His elect who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them?

Notice that Jesus is comparing the widow to "us" and the corrupt judge to God! Don't you see he is telling us to literally hound God for what we need? Many of us have heard preached in the past, "Ask God for what you want, then just believe. If you keep praying about it, you are not using faith".

Don't believe that and dont buy it! That is "not" what Jesus told us to do and that is "not" how to get a miracle, That is the voice of Satan talking! Jesus tells us plainly to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking!

In Luke 11:1 when Jesus' disciples asked him to teach them how to pray, he gave them the "Lords Prayer". Everybody stops there! Everybody knows the lords prayer and they like to recite it, but - READ after that!

Jesus immediately went into a parable to explain to them (and us) how to pray!

Luke 11:5 - Then He said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves;

Luke 11:6 - for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

Luke 11:7 - and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'

Luke 11:8 - "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

So, how do you get a miracle? How bad do you want it? Bad enough to hound God, asking him over an over again throughout your day? Praising him and thanking him in advance for the miracle you "will" receive? Are you willing to put in 40 hours a week praying, asking and praising him? That's the amount of time you put into your job for a much lesser reward.

Don't worry, God will not require that from you, Read Luke 18:7 again, God is awesome! but are you willing? Would it be worth it to you to heal your child, save your marriage or pull you out of the financial pit you've fallen in to?

This might seem a little harsh, but let me point out that "God is not Santa Claus". You don't just sit on his lap and read him a list of everything you want and that's it! Then Just forget about it and wait. 

Try to ask as many people as you can to pray with you or for you

Matthew 18:19 - "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven.

What do you suppose Jesus meant by this? Who do you suppose this applies to? The Pope and another real holy person only? NO! It means just what it says it means! Any two on earth. That means you and whoever you can get to earnestly agree with you in prayer. There is truly strength in numbers!

Go to your church and ask the pastor to ask the congregation to pray before or after the service! If you don't belong to a church, call one from the phone book and give them your prayer request! Better yet, call every one in the phone book! They won't mind. Praying is their business and if it isn't, it should be.

Ephesians 6:18 - With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

Saints, buy the way, means You!

FAST

I can tell you personally that for me, when I needed a miracle, Fasting was like "Bringing out the BIG GUNS" against Satan! Fasting, like persistence, is very powerful! But once again, make sure your prayers are lined up with God during fasting.

Isaiah 58:4 - "Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like you do today to make your voice heard on high.

There are a few different points to the above scripture if you read it and the verses that follow it, but for the immediate purpose, I will just point out only  that, "Fasting makes your voice heard on high!"  If you are in crisis, If you need a miracle or answers to prayer, you will want your voice heard on high.

Are you still wondering how to get a miracle? These principles not only worked for me, God has blessed me beyond measure! Why? Because I am so holy? Because I have led such a blameless, sinless life from birth? The answer is No, absolutely not!  When I really needed God, I fell on my face, begged, pleaded, prayed, fasted and asked people to pray for me.

To put it short, I used Faith! One does not waste time praying to a God he doesn't believe exists! One does not beg, plead, fast etc.. if he doesn't believe that God is able and willing to help them. 

If you are doing these things, regardless of what you are thinking or what your mind is telling you, you "are" putting faith into action, and you are pleasing God! And among other things, this is how you get a miracle.

For more information about Fasting, read "How to Fast".

Faith

You need faith if you want to please God. If you are asking for an answer to prayer, to receive a miracle, healing, protection or even a blessing, God does reward those who seek him!

Hebrews 11:6 - And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

How do I get Faith? and How do I have faith
in someone I can't even see or touch?

Miracles and Faith go hand in hand. If what I have written so far makes since to you or has blessed you, you need to continue on to the "Get Faith Here" page now. (click)

God Bless You
