Change always comes through prayer! III

Good day to you, dear readers of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! May God bless you and keep you from all evil today!

Over the past few days we have been talking about the idea that a person is the main initiator of the miracles he needs in his life. In order for God to do something supernatural in a person’s life, that person must create the natural platform, or foundation, for the miracle. When you mix your distress with prayer, the miracle will surely happen, and you will have true and indisputable proof of God’s miracle and His supernatural intervention.

We talked about the life of Hannah, who cried out to God in spite of her practically hopeless circumstances and kept expecting her miracle. People who saw Hannah thought she was drunk. But it was her despair mixed with prayer and trust in God.

What was the result of Hannah’s prayer?

The result, or the answer to Hannah’s prayer, was not long in coming. A year later she was holding in her arms undeniable proof that God intervenes in human affairs.

„So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, „Because I have asked for him from the LORD.” Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to the LORD the yearly sacrifice and his vow. But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, „Not until the child is weaned; then I will take him, that he may appear before the LORD and remain there forever” (1 Samuel, 1: 20-21).

In her prayer Hannah promised God that if He gave her a son, she would give him back to serve God.

If we are ready to give the Lord all the blessings He has given us, then the flow of miracles in our lives will never stop. If our hearts cling to God Himself and not to His blessings, then God will not be able to take His eyes off us.

After Hannah weaned her son, she returned to Shiloh with the proof of God’s faithfulness.

„Now when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, one ephah of flour, and a skin of wine, and brought him to the house of the LORD in Shiloh. And the child was young. Then they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli. And she said, „O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the LORD. For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me my petition which I asked of Him” (1 Samuel, 1: 24-27).

We looked at Hannah’s situation and saw what she did, how she acted, and how God rewarded her trust and perseverance.

If you imitate her, then you too will be able to obtain your own solid and undeniable proof. Do not sit around waiting and wasting your time! Start initiating your miracle, and may your life be filled with God’s miracles!

May God abundantly bless you!
