ART - Miracles

A Miracle … is an unveiling of who God is.

.   .   .

A Miracle is the contrast between the Presence of God,

and the Evidence of God.

God is always present, but not always evident.

Evidence starts on the inside.

It comes from within.

Hebrews 11:1  KJV

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,

the evidence of things not seen.

From an engineering perspective,

God’s Miracles are accessed by tuning into God’s frequency,

and turning up the volume.

Tune in, and turn up,

because there are mountains of unclaimed Miracles upon the earth,

and an infinite number of new ones,

just waiting to be realized.

.   .   .

Miracles were designed as a celebration

of what already exists.

Miracles were designed to close the gap between God’s Spirit and ours.

In a fallen world,

miracles are rare, singular events,

that fix problems.

In God’s Domain,

Miracles are a continuous state of being;

a river that waters all of creation.

.   .   .

Miracles come from within.

Jesus described himself as living water,

and said that out of our “belly"

would flow rivers of living water.

That word for “belly” means “spiritual womb”.

There is a spiritual womb within us that is a birthing ground

for a continuous flow of God inspired Miracles.

When our  faith, hope and love,

 and our expectations,

mix with God,

a new thing is birthed.

John 7:38  KJV

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said,

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

.   .   .

All rivers have a source.

God is our source.

Genesis 5 says that Enoch "walked" with God.

Genesis 5:22  KJV

And Enoch walked with God …

The word in that verse for "walked",

 is the same word used to describe the Euphrates River.

The Euphrates River is over 2700 km long,

and delivers billions of cubic meters of water per year,

as it meanders its way to the ocean.

It draws water from snow capped mountains in Turkey,

and it has a massive watershed basin

of over 440,000 km².

This is the extraordinary imagery that God used

to describe Enoch's relationship with God.

The Euphrates begins near the foot of Mount Ararat,

one of the corners of the Garden of Eden.

Where the river runs,

it generates a habitat for life;

marshes, orchards and cities.

Similarly,

our "walk" with God,

is meant to water gardens of every form,

throughout the universe,

on God's behalf.

Where God's river runs,

we are meant to be one with it.

Where it becomes white water and runs fast,

we run fast,

where it turns,

we turn,

where it runs slow and rests,

we rest.

The power and life giving nature of the Euphrates River,

is meant to signify

the type of expectations that God has from us.

The Presence of God in us,

was designed to water a great expanse of gardens.

.   .   .

Sadly, we have forgotten just how beautiful,

and powerful,

our relationship with God was meant to be.

POEM - IRAQ

.   .   .

When a defeated human,

 “thinks” about a miracle,

they look for something outside of themselves;

something that is on the other side of an un-sailable gulf.

In contrast,

when God has a “thought”,

God draws from within God’s core,

from a place that is so Holy

that nothing can exist elsewhere,

unless it is first defined therein,

and once an “idea” emerges from that place,

then it automatically becomes life.

Isaiah 14:24  KJV

The Lord of hosts hath sworn, saying,

Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass;

and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

During creation,

an imprint of us was inscribed on the palms of God's hands;

a place where covenants, decrees and weightiness are assigned,

a place from which  the intentions of God cannot be revoked.

Isaiah 49:16

Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;

thy walls are continually before me.

and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,

and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Miracles occur best,

when they are drawn from the wells of God,

not just in power,

but in likeness of form and intention.

.   .   .

All of God’s creation,

 not only carries the witness,

and the likeness and character of God,

but as each one expands out from God,

their entire existence

is tethered to their creator.

From an outwardly perspective,

it is possible not to recognize God,

but it is impossible not to recognize God from your inward Spirit,

because your Spirit remembers being on the palm of God’s hand.

Luke 24:30-32  KJV

30 And it came to pass, as He [Jesus] sat at meat with them,

He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him;

 and He vanished out of their sight.

32 And they said one to another,

Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way,

and while He opened to us the scriptures?

.   .   .

Miracles were not designed to fill in the cracks between lack and lustre.

Miracles were not designed to close the gap

between what we want and what we do not have.

Miracles were designed as a way of living;

to seal the bond between God's Spirit and ours,

so that when we have oneness with God,

there are no gaps in our life,

nor in the people around us.

We were designed to live a continuous life,

of certainty, prosperity, and security.

.   .   .

All that we need to experience a Miracle

is already on the earth.

It lives inside of us in the Presence of God.

Miracles must be pulled up from within,

not pulled in from without.

.   .   .

Some people say that there are no miracles in heaven,

because there is no sickness or poverty there,

but miracles exist in the presence of contrast,

and since our journey with God

will always be a path of astonishment,

then we will always experience miracles with God.

.   .   .

Not all miracles are blessed.

Miracles can happen without God's intervention,

because God designed the universe to respond to “intention”.

The bible is full of examples

of people who used their "know how" to impress kings

with earthly spectacles that excluded a oneness with God.

If a miracle becomes “earth-bound”,

then it will be cut short or turned sour,

because it no longer has God’s signature upon it.

If you want a true Miracle, then you will have to have more of God.
