Are your circumstances so gloomy that you feel like it would take a miracle from God for things to turn around for you? If you need a miracle from God, have you made preparations to receive a miracle from God? There are five primary areas that you can expect trouble when you ask God for a miracle. Each area can provide you with either slowing down your miracle so that you quit trying or they will try to steal your miracle away from you entirely so that you don’t get it. How you deal with each of these areas will either make or break your success in getting your miracle manifested from God when you need it!

Cultivate the Garden of Your Soul

1. Remove the pests from your past by abstaining from changing decisions.
You cannot be double minded and doubt God, or His word when you need to receive a miracle from God. You either want it or you don’t. You either believe that you will get a miracle from God or you don’t! You either will go through with it until you receive your miracle or you won’t. There is no middle ground or compromise. The way you stay on track is to totally obey the Word of God. Do not go to the right or to the left. Do not look back. Stay focused. If you stumble and fall do not stay there. Pick yourself right back up and get back into the game as they say. If you sin then use 1 John 1:9 and confess your sins to God and ask him to forgive you. He will forgive you of those five sins you confessed and wash away those 5,000 sins that you may have forgot about. And he will do it because he loves you and he wants you to receive your miracle. It is wise to ask for Jesus Christ’s help when you need a miracle from God.  Jesus Christ paid the price for you to be free from sin and sickness and poverty. Pray and ask Him to help you and get your miracle.

2. Reject confusing trials from circumstances which come from Satan’s deceptions.
Jesus quoted scripture when he was confronted with temptation. You should too. He said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. You need to stay focused on the Word of God. Keep visualizing yourself possessing your miracle. Keep confessing and giving thanks to God that you have received your miracle. And keep acting like you have received your miracle even when it seems like your miracle won’t happen.

3. Remove the diseases of doubt by abstaining from harmful relationships.
You need to listen to your inward witness, your “gut,” that inward feeling that tells you what is right for you. You need to refuse false solutions from people which can come in the form of Satan’s accusations. There are well meaning people in your life and then there are those who really don’t care about your life and then there are those that would rather see you destroyed. Sometimes you have to shut off the world. If people are not helping then consider that they could be hindering you from receiving your miracle. And beware of half nice things people say which are used for encouragement which are also combined with poisonous words. These words from “Well meaning people” can sink you before you know it. You have to be like Jesus and say, “Get behind me Satan: for it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” Remember you either follow God or the world. If you follow the world you follow Satan. There is no “in between.”

4. Remove the weeds of wishful fantasies by abstaining from insatiable desires.
You probably know what this means already. If you have caused this “thing” or “situation” to come upon you because of the lifestyle you lead or the behavioral activity that you do then you will need to cease and desist right now. You need to repent, get forgiven and do a 180 and head in the other direction towards Christ and stay there on that road which leads to salvation. You can do this by simply following and doing the works of Christ. Be like Jesus in your thoughts and your words and your actions. Just read the New Testament from the bible and do what it says to do within those pages. The New Testament was written for the church, particularly what is written between the gospels and the book of Revelation.

5. Return challenging temptations from things which are Satan’s seductions.
Now what does that mean? We promise you that you will be tempted to quit or change your mind or do something else or go back to an old lifestyle or any number of “things when you are seeking God for a miracle.” Sometimes it can seem that you are doing everything you know to do, reading God’s word, praying, helping others, etc, and the miracle that you might need from God may still not be showing up. If this is your situation, that is when you will need faith like you’ve never had it before. Because if what you want or need from God is taking a long time, wanting to quit and being tempted by the devil is a never ending battle. It’s a fight that God will help you win if you include that in your prayer. That is why the bible says to fight the good fight of faith. You have to stay at it until you win. No compromise. That means never compromise. And again, you can say like Jesus, “It is said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”

The following is the most important part of all these lessons on working miracles by faith. Read it, know it, and do it.

When you ask God for a miracle ask for it in the name of Jesus Christ. When you give thanks to God and praise him for your miracle, do it in the name of Jesus Christ. When you take action and act on your faith, do it in the name of Jesus Christ. It is his name that will start the miracle process, make the miracle process happen, and manifest the miracle for you if it is what God wants you to have. The bottom line is that Jesus Christ paid the price for you to have your miracle. He has provided the goods to make your miracle and he is the one who makes your miracle happen. Your miracle starts and ends with Jesus Christ. He is the Alpha and Omega. If you think or say or do anything and leave him out of it, your miracle might not happen. Sometimes the best miracle that you can get is not the one that you ask for but for Jesus Christ to show up and save you. If you don’t receive the miracle that you want from God, Jesus Christ can save you from your dilemma, perhaps in the long run, that will end up being much better for you anyway. That is why the bible says that all who call upon the name of the Lord will be saved. No matter what happens or what doesn’t happen, don’t lose hope in God or grow weary waiting on Him, God knows what you need, what you want and He knows where you are, if a Miracle is in His plan for you to have, in His own time and in His own way, He will deliver it to you!
