More on Miracles, His Perfect Plan

Last week I wrote about believing in miracles. Do you believe in miracles? Are you expecting a miracle, are you hoping for one? There are so many different scenarios, different ways we wait, and even different ways we ask. We may ask for ourselves, we may ask a friend to pray for the miracle, we also ask to be put on a prayer list through the church--believing the prayers of the body will help us receive the miracle we need faster.
The truth is, we all can have our miracle. It is the timing that we have no control over. The timing is up to our Lord Jesus. He has a plan. In His plan is the manner in which we receive our miracle, the type of miracle we receive, if He so chooses to use someone to help bring our miracle to life, and the timing of our miracle.
Philippians 1:6 (AMP)- I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return].
God has a perfect plan for us. It is not the perfection we have come up with in our own minds, it is the perfection God has planned out for us. Whatever it is we need, physical healing, emotional healing, financial help, our Lord Jesus has a plan. Nothing is too difficult for God.
Many times we think of ourselves as "stained", and not deserving. That is true, we have been stained by our sins. We don't deserve all that God has for us and freely gives to us. But we must remember, we have been washed clean by the blood of Jesus. Our stains have been washed away.
Jesus loves us more than words can express. He has saved His best for us. That best is Himself. He gave Himself up so that we can be washed clean. He gave His all so that we can be washed clean by His blood. And so that we can be healed by His grace and love He has for us.
We all have a need in our lives, we all need a miracle for ourself or a family member. We have an open phone line 24/7 to the Lord. We can call on Him anytime night or day and ask for our needs to be met. He is more than willing to accommodate us.
Can you believe or have faith for your miracle? If not, call on the body. Call on the church to step in and intercede for you or for your family member. There are plenty of times I have had a need and I just could not get the words to pray. My heart could cry out to God but my mind couldn't seem to get those words together. That's why we have the Holy Spirit to stand in for us. And the Holy Spirit to speak to the hearts of the body to intercede for us.
Remember, the Lord God has that perfect plan for us, for our loved ones. He will see to it that our needs are met. He will use His Holy Spirit and the church to bring that perfect plan to life. Or since He is God, He may just see what our heart cries for and touch us right then.
However God chooses, or whenever God chooses, we will receive our miracle. Hang on to that hope. Trust in the Holy Spirit, reach deep down inside and grab ahold of that faith the size of a mustard seed. Hang onto it tightly. Don't let go.
Today I am praying for a miracle for someone very special in our family. I pray that as you read this you are inspired to step out in that faith and hope to stand in the gap for someone you know needing that miracle.
Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].
