Are results hard to come by? Do you worship, and pray......and then socialize with your church members...and then worship and pray some more...but you are not getting what you want out of Jesus? It is a common problem. People go to church, maybe because friends invite them, or because family makes a special request...and deep in their heart they want to feel a connection, but it just does not happen. Let me fill you in on something...
No one feels the serious rush all the time. NO ONE! Ministers don’t, priests don’t, experienced church goers do not. If you are going through all the motions, but God is not showing up the way you expected....THAT IS NORMAL.
For years I have tried to describe miracles, and for years I have probably failed at that job. The reason for that is because miracles are in a class by themselves. Sometimes they are completely imperceptible. This world is made up of miracles! You are a walking, talking miracle yourself. You have been brought up....and you may have grown quite old....without ever understanding that you have seen thousands of miracles each day. But when you start walking around with what I call....the eyes of Christ....you have stepped into a new arena!
Okay, back to results. The only thing required is to ask, and realize that you might not see the results. God will DEFINITELY deliver! There is NO PREREQUISITE for prayer. God will hear you every time, in every circumstance. He does not care about the volume of sinning you have done in your life. He does not care about what is currently going on in your life. He cares about YOUR SINCERITY!!! Genuine prayers ALWAYS get God’s attention.
Take a minute, take stock of your life, and then write out a list of your needs. THEN, write out a short plan for how you will start YOUR MINISTRY! Folks, that is the secret. The secret is working for God every day, in your own personal ministry. It does not matter what you choose to do, just that you are helping the folks around you. God is interested in give and take. He tends to be very generous to those people who are very generous.
Understand that you and all those around you are miracles. Then start firing off a bunch of your own! Believe me, if you believe in Christ and work for Him regularly, you do indeed have the ability to create miracles. Wherever you think they are needed, you can send miracles into those situations. You can do it as fast or slow as you like, but folks, doing it none stop all day is a lot of fun! I suggest you try and build up to that.
