Braggin on God
I love to hear people braggin on God ! It reaffirms my own faith in His abilities to handle any situation I’m in or may “be” in , in the future. My oldest son, Hunter Lewis, sent me and Pennye Jacobs Lewis this clip last night that proves, yet again, the power of God over infirmities, handicaps and human ailments. God ain’t limited by small-mindedness; He’s capable of doing miracles even when those around us see no hope. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains ( Matthew 17:20 )…It’s “who” we place our faith “in” that either opens doors or leaves em closed. God’s already told us that when we pray for something, we need to pray as if He’s already granted our request…thanking Him for hearing and answering…even before we see the results ( Mark 11:22-24 )! It’s “faith” that trusts in His power…”faith” that He’s aware of our problems and situations…”faith”that believes He’s more than capable of handling the issue and faith that proclaims His majesty and greatness, boldly before others. We don’t have to understand it all…we just have to place complete faith in Him. Jesus said it numerous times …”Your faith has healed you”…” Your faith has made you well”… “Your faith has made you whole”( Matthew 9:22; Mark 10:52; Mark 5:34 ). You know what limits God from performing more miracles than He does ? It’s a “lack of faith” ( Matthew 13:58 ). You know what produces a lack of faith ? Pride. We tell ourselves,” I can handle this myself”… “Whatever comes, I’m good with it”… “ I’ll deal with it when the time comes”…and God would have us hear, “ I can take care of that for you if you want me to. All you gotta do is ask “ ( James 4:2-3 ). Don’t limit an unlimited God ! Don’t forfeit a miracle because of foolish pride ! And don’t block God’s opportunity to reveal His powers to a world that needs to know there’s hope ! His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness. Through these He’s given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them, you may “participate” in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. ( 2 Peter 1:3-4 ) Won’t you be a participant in something He’s already wanting to do ? Come on ! Show the world your faith !
