Miracles and Waiting

According to a Timex survey, Americans wait:

  • 32 minutes for every doctor visit.
  • 28 minutes in airport security.
  • 21 minutes for others getting ready to leave the house.
  • 13 hours for customer service.
  • 38 hours waiting in traffic each year.
  • 37 billion hours Americans wait in line each year.
  • Humans will spend 6 months of their lives just waiting in lines.

Our solution:

Cell phones (talking)

  • 23 days a year.
  • 9 years of the average person’s life.

Cell phones (Social media, gaming and texting.)

  • 27 days a year.
  • 3 hours and 15 minutes

Every rewrite of your struggles and impossible problems is because every prayer is a sentence added to your miracle story!

Principle of Prayer and Miracles:

Prayer is the necessary tool that God has decreed to activate His plan and will.

Command

Rejoice always, 

I Thessalonians 5:16

Contact

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

Jeremiah 33:3

Prayer releases God to do what He has already _planned_ to do but prayer does not _make _God do something He hasn’t planned to do. 

Isaiah 65:24 “Before they call I will answer …..”

Faith + Prayer = Miracles

Faith and prayers grabs the invisible (what I can’t see) to produce a miracle (what I can see.)

Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he payed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit. 

James 5:16-18

Take care lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them;   then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you, and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and you will perish quickly off the good land that the LORD is giving you.

Deuteronomy 11:16-17

You will never know how to pray God’s will if you do not know what God’s Word says. God’s Word is the foundation to our request for miracles. 

God is not going to bless you so you can share it with an idol.
