“And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” –Matthew 9:20-21.
EXPLORATION
In this series we will be looking at things that affect or drive us towards receiving our miracles as God has already finished the work concerning our needs before the beginning.
Needs: These are the very first things that drive many people toward God, or towards seeking a higher power for physical and spiritual help.
INSPIRATION
However, needs vary in different ways and everyone’s needs are different. In fact, in a family—the husband’s needs are different from the wife’s needs—the children’s needs are, likewise, different from one another.
Needs are also a means or way in which the Lord gets our attention when HE wants our full attention and we are busy with life activities.
The Bible says, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” –Revelation 3:20
Our response to His call will always position us to manifest Miracles. Psalm 46:1, says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Below are some needs we may fall into but they all draw us closer to God for a miracle, and life changing experience;
The Need To Love God And To know God. Your need may be that you desire to know God and love God—it’s like there is an emptiness in you that needs to be filled—and you are trusting God to fill this gap, this emptiness, and change your life for the better.
The Need For Healing and To Be Healed. Just like the woman with the issue of Blood (Matthew 9:20-21) her desire, in faith, was to get to the healer (Jesus Christ). She already believed in her heart that if only she is able to touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be made whole (Healed), she was determined… she never gave up getting to Jesus. She forgot pride or self pity and she positioned herself in faith for a life changing experience and miracle and she received it.
The Bible says, “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” –Romans 10:13
The Need For A Change In Situation/ Circumstances. To some, this is the way life has been for them or their family but God is waiting to send them one and, this could be you, who will be fed up with the status quo in their life and seek God for a change or miracle—just like Jabez. The Bible says he got to a point in life that he recognized that it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob who can turn his life around for a Divine Blessing and he sought HIM—and he got his miracle (1 Chronicles 4:10) Matthew 7:7, Matthew 21:22.
The Need To Be Blessed and To Be A Blessing To Generations. The Bible makes us to know that we have been blessed by God with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). To receive and daily manifest these ordained blessings becomes a need for many of us. Likewise this draws us closer and closer to God—by doing so we become more faithful, obedient, and loving—our faith grows bigger and bigger. Hallelujah. We are position for greater miracles.
The Need To Change From Evil (Bad) To Good. This is the greatest miracle anyone can receive through Christ Jesus. It is the miracle of a life which has been redeemed. Giving our life to the Lord by confessing, believing, and accepting Jesus Christ into our life as our Lord and Savior—thus, this miracle is greater than raising a dead person to life. This may be your need today—your desire to know God and be saved will position you for this great miracle.
The Bible says, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance” -Luke 15:7.
We will continue in the next part of the series... in which we will be looking at “Determination.”
This week! As you get yourself positioned for a greater miracle, let it be known to you that your present situations and conditions are the recipes for your miracle—you are not just passing through for nothing, there is a purpose for it—to change your life while you get closer to the Lord. Your manifestation is certain. Amen!
Remember, the Bible says, “But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul” –Deuteronomy 4:29.
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all” – Psalm 34:19.
You are blessed, we love you!
