| Don't pray for miracles, expect them |
**NOT BORING**
We don’t have a boring Faith, because we don’t have a boring God. From the very Beginning, Super-Natural events are reported in writing and fill the pages of the Scriptures about how magnificent and exciting our God is. Considering the amount of splendor describing our God found not only in Sacred Scripture, but in many other writings, I am limiting this to the fulfillment of two Prophetic verses that Isaiah proclaimed. These are found in the Book of Isaiah chapter 7:14, and in chapter 53. This Book of Isaiah was written many years before Jesus of Nazareth, arrived.
In Isaiah 7:14, we read about a virgin giving birth to a child, "and you will call him Emmanuel."
This is found also in the Gospels, especially Mathew 1:23, referring to Mary and Jesus. The 53rd chapter of Isaiah, gives us a preview of our Lord`s day of Crucifixion.
Miracles are followed by more manifestation of miracles throughout the readings pertaining to our Lord Jesus Christ. A miracle is an event or a series of conditions that cannot be explained by scientific theory, or according to the known laws of nature. Super-Natural is a descriptive way of describing miracles. An `Action of God` is a popular expression used by those who believe.
The Apostle John wrote a Prophetic verse found in the Gospel bearing his name. John says “if all the works of Jesus could be written, the world could not contain all the books.” This prophecy has been and is being fulfilled to this very day. To experience this, all you have to do is enter a bookstore, or enter the terms “Christian reading material / books” in a computer search engine.
Throughout History and presently, people of all the Earth's nations, have called upon the Name of Jesus Christ in prayer. The outpouring of God`s Love and Mercy in response to the prayers directed to Him in profound trust are voluminous and overwhelming. We witness healings of many hopeless illnesses, deliverances from “impossible” situations, the filling of needs of the many, and the satisfying of acutely `heart felt` desires of many on a daily basis.
The Blessings of God occur at every moment of every day because Jesus Christ is Alive, and that is the *Reality*. The Presence of our Risen King Jesus Christ can be perceived when we turn to Him to send up a sincere request for His Presence. Many times, in many places, many people, with just a very small amount of Trust, have experienced *Supernatural* (miraculous) answers to prayer in their entire being.
Continuing and persevering Faith and Trust in our `Risen Lord Jesus Christ` is the most exciting Adventure that we can experience. Be encouraged, for a life filled with Faith in Jesus Christ, is not `boring`.
Take some time today and read Isaiah's chapter 53, reflect on what our Lord accomplished.
But don’t just stop with this reading. Move on a bit; continue; explore a little....and find our for yourself that our Faith is Not Boring.
