A Miracle Living Within

What happen the day that you asked the Savior to come into your heart? Did you have an obvious change take place within? Did you want to keep on doing the sins you had done before you met the savior, Jesus? Will you crucify Him afresh each time you sin? The Holy spirit can come in and penetrate the toughest heart and make it tender. When we have such great love for the Lord we no longer want to sin against Him for He and the Father come and make their abode within our heart. A miracle begins to live within our hearts. Not only in the mind but it goes to the heart where God searches and will know us if we are genuine. If the change is sincere we want to show love to others it is because God lives where there is love, for He is Love. The bible says that God is Love, and he that loveth knoweth God. The bible teaches me that we have passed from life unto death if we have love for the brethren.
Sometimes we have to act on faith that a change has taken place not always by feelings. The bible tells me there is no condemnation to those that have came by the way of the cross. There would be no remission for our sins without the shedding of Jesus blood for our purification. As a new babe in Christ the bible refers to us when we are born into the kingdom of God. If we call it quits at the very first time we fall back into our old ways or our sins than the Lord tells us that we have an advocate with the Father. He never gives up on us. Will you give up on Him? He will tell you over and over in your walk dont give up. He wants us to know in whom we believe and hope in. He has applied His precious blood to make us clean, indeed. Our sins are as far as the east is from the west. They have been cast out by the blood of the lamb into the sea of forgetfulness. The slain lamb that stood for the slaughter to be nailed to the cross for you and me was, Jesus. He remembers our sins no more as He wipes our slate clean. We will sing a brand new song in our heart, worthy is the lamb. We will continue to grow as His spirit leads us until we go home some day to be with Him. I have found the only way to find out what He wants from me is by reading His Holy Word and praying to Him for His guidance. Sometimes He comes to us right where we are at for the moment, for He says come as you are. I will do the clean up work for you as I make you whole in me. We must worship Him in spirit and in truth. If His spirit is not living there, how can we worship Him in truth and spirit. It is a must to be filled with the miracle of His spirit in order to know Him and worship Him in truth. Put on the belt of truth and the whole armor of God so that you can stand against the wiles of the devil. You are clothed with the helmet of Salvation upon your head. The breast plate of righteousness has been applied to your heart. Shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherein you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one as they come against you. As a soldier in the Lords army take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the bible the Word of God. For me to have eternal life from Him someday is to trust Him and believe and confess with my mouth that He is the Son of God. He would desire me to be baptized in His name for the remission of my sins. His name is Jesus. He came to be a sin sacrifice for me by shedding His blood as He hang on the cross for the sins of the whole world. Mary, a virgin, the mother of the miracle within who was Jesus, Gods only begotten son ,coming to the earth in the form of a man. When she gave birth to Gods son, she was implanted with the a seed from the Holy Spirit. She had not even known a man the bible teaches me. We too, man or woman have the seed of the Holy Spirit implanted into us when we accept Him into our heart. We will also give birth to miracles as we allow God to work through us and around us. Anyone that has accepted Jesus as their personal savior has the same miracle implanted into them. The Holy Spirit, God, and Jesus have came to make their abode within your heart. The Lord says that He is not a respecter of persons. What He can do for one, He can do for another. It takes faith to birth these miracles into our lives.
In Psalms 20:6 the word says, Now know I that the Lord saveth His anointed; he will hear him from His holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. Verse 7, Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Let the miracle that has been implanted within come forth to a new birth that will be in Christ. You have been born of the spirit and of water as you come to Him in baptism. Your garments have been made white by the blood of the Lamb. You will grow from a baby on the milk and then as you grow on the word which is God as you learn from Him from the bible you will be able to take on meat the stronger word of the Lord as you learn from Him and mature in Him by faith.
Ephesians 6:18 tells me to be praying always with all prayer and supplications in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplications for all saints:
I will pray for you always as we go forth as soldiers and servants of the lord spreading the gospel and fighting the good fight for Jesus Christ.
