The Believers Prayer

In Acts 4:28-30 we find Peter and John in prayer while Herod and Pontius Pilate are deciding the fate of Jesus. Funny, how His fate had already been decided from the onset of Creation! God used Herod and Pontius Pilate to bring about His will just as God uses "vessels of suffering" to bring about His will in our lives. Peter and John called upon God and ackowledged that this was His will but also petititoned God to perform miraculous signs in the name of His precious Son, Jesus. Many times in the Bible miracles were granted because of the condition of the petitioner's heart and belief in the ability of Christ. Remember, Christ is Lord of everything or Lord of nothing!

During our pain and suffering do you acknowledge that this season is God's will and do you really believe He is in control of everything? Based on the petition of the Believers Prayer (Acts 4:28-30) do you have the active and complete faith that God can work "miraculous signs and wonders" in your present season of suffering?

I do have an active and complete faith that God works miracles because it is stated over and over through the scriptures.

Our Father is so powerful that he chooses what and when a mirales will take place. The bigger the miracle the more people it can encompass. Even those on the sidelines get a sweet wift of Father's aroma of wonderment.

Miracles abound in the world, just open your eyes.

Praise God!
