I.Blessing and Miracles
A.Walking in the Blessing vs. Miracles
1.There are basically two ways to receive from God: blessing and miracles.
a.The blessing is God’s divine favor spoken over you. Walking in God’s blessing requires cooperating with natural and spiritual laws.
~(Rom. 8:2 AMP)
~(Rom. 3:27)
b.Three characteristics of the blessing:
~prevents crisis from overtaking you.
~is permanent
~is abundant
c.(Num. 6:22-27) The blessing is a spiritual law that is voice activated. The blessing in not “the things:” houses, cars, health etc. Things are the by-product of the blessing.
~(Ps. 3:8; [24:5-6 AMP])
~(Prov. 8:32-36; [10:22 AMP])
2. A miracle is an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs. A miracle may defy natural laws but will cooperate with spiritual laws.
a. A miracle may or may not be God’s best depending on the circumstances.
b. A miracle:
~requires a crisis.
~is temporary and not permanent.
~is usually just enough.
c. (John 2:1-11)
~(Matt. 14:14-21)
~(Matt. 15:32-37)
~(ref. Exo. 16) Manna in the wilderness
