"Your ways, God, are holy.
What god is as great as our God?
You are the God who performs miracles;
you display your power among the peoples."
I think one obstacle we experience in believing God is that we don't see miracles today. We pray to God asking Him to show us a sign that He exists and when He doesn't answer that prayer then we are left with piercing unbelief...both believers and unbelievers.
"Much of the body of Christ is paralyzed by unbelief. Our unbelief has likely ushered
us into a frustrating, disabling cycle: we believe little, so we see little,
so we continue to believe little and see little"
~Beth Moore~
We believe little so we see little. We believe it's rare to see miracles, if at all, so we believe that today God no longer performs them, when really the real obstacle is that there is an astonishing belief in our generation.
"God is not offended by our requests for supernatural intervention. On the contrary,
God is pleased when we exercise faith. God is offended when our desire
for signs and wonders eclipses our desire for Him
or becomes a request for God to prove Himself"
The simple question is this: Do we believe God is who He says He is? Do we truly, with all our hearts, believe this? It is natural for us to desire to see God's distinguishing mark in our society today. We desire to see signs and wonders, but we don't believe God can or will perform them. We need to earnestly and fervently seek Him and search Him.
"My son, if you accept my words
and store up my commands within you,
turning your ear to wisdom
and applying your heart to understanding - indeed,
if you call out for insight and cry aloud
for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver
and search for it as for hidden treasure."
~Proverbs 2:1-4~
"We are given no signs from God;
no prophets are left,
and none of us knows how long this will be.
How long will the enemy mock you, God?
Will the foe revile your name forever?
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the folds of your garment and destroy them!
But God is my King from long ago; he brings salvation
to the earth.
It was you who split open the sea by your power;
you broke the heads of the monster in the waters.
It was you who crushed the heads of the leviathan
and gave it as food to the creatures in the dessert.
It was you who opened up springs
and streams
you dried up the ever-flowing rivers.
The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and the moon.
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth
you made both summer and winter.
Rise up, O God, and defend your cause;"
~Psalm 74~
Do you believe God is who He says He is?
I HIGHLY encourage you to watch this...
and if you want just a glimpse of the video above....
