instant miracles?

Dale Cresap's picture

Do you think that miracles must happen in an instant to be authentic? If a miracle is something that can’t happen without my intervention then there is no need to impose a time constraint. If something won’t happen without me and it does happen then it is just as much of a miracle whether it is instant or over a long period of time. Do you need a miracle in your own life? Do you want it right now? That is understandable but I have my own schedule and agenda. A transformed life only occurs with my intervention. It is a worthy goal and a miracle even if it takes a lifetime to occur. In patience possess your souls.

My hearts cry is to know and walk with our Lord like Enoch, no other desires consumes me more than Him and I seek Him as best as I can physically do, which amounts to very little. I work full time but pain and suffering from a back injury from 20 + years ago consumes me all night on top of waking up miserably sick in my stomach every morning stripped of every ounce of strength and energy. Pain medication has been the only relief from this hell, without it suicide is constantly knocking. But I cannot be on the pain killer when I need to sleep because of a side effect that keeps waking me up multiple times thru out the night, so I lose priceless sleep every night from agonizing relentless pain or from the side effect of the meds. When I am on it during the day drowsiness is only moments away if I'm not physically and actively involved with something that doesn't involve sitting still. Over the years countless people have prayed for healing but none has come. Even traveled to see a well known faith healer but told he can only heal the people whom the Lord shows him to heal. I was not one of them. What am I supposed to make of that?
As I read "instant miracles?" my heart was gutted and hope shredded when "Do you need a miracle in your own life? Do you want it right now? That is understandable but I have my own schedule and agenda. A transformed life only occurs with my intervention. It is a worthy goal and a miracle even if it takes a lifetime to occur.

It is almost impossible to have any quiet time, Either the pain and suffering destroys it or the medication puts me into restless sleep within moments of quieting myself down which then brings on frustration and hopeless. After all these years of living hell I'm now confronted with it might take the rest of my life time before any healing will occur. Until then there is little hope of getting to know and walk with Him.
What hope and encouragement am I supposed to get from what our Lord has said about instant miracles?
I journal when I can which is rare now days. I have been thru prayers that heal the heart and love everything that Mark has taught and am really excited with what Charity is teaching us and try with pen and paper next to my pillow to write down the dreams but hell awaits every night and obliterates any remembrance of what I dreamt the moment it wakes me up.

The kingdom of God SUFFERS violence and the violent take it by force.
Well the Lord work me up in the middle of the night with His answer for you.
You are blessed, because I just published a new blog on 22 spirit-led ways to pray and a good number of them apply to you. Here are the things I would do. I would violently go after this pain problem with the clear intention that it is going to leave my body in Jesus name.
I would ask God for a vision of what my body, my health and my life will look like when this pain is completely gone. I would journal that out and then speak it over myself daily, and see it constantly. That causes faith to raise in your life.
I would break off the word curse and all demons attached to it through what the healing evangelist spoke over you. I would bind the demon of pain and the demon of infirmity, and the demon of hopelessness, and the demon of despair, and command them all daily to leave in Jesus name. I would repent of harboring any of those sins which have allowed them to attach.
Every time I was in church or with a group of Christians, I would ask if they would lay hands on my back and pray for healing for it.
I would put in an hour of prayer in the morning and in the evening, which was focused on removing this issue from your life. Following are the types of prayers I would do.
See how three weeks of daily doing this prayer (http://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/healing-cellular-memories-worksheet) brought much release to my back. Plus I highly recommend seeking out chiropractic care from a Maximized Living Chiropractor, as they have helped me greatly, and I believe e they could help you also (http://www.cwgministries.org/blogs/after-40-years-of-doing-cardio-exerci...).
I have not yet tried the strategy recommended here, but a person emailed it to me, and that would be worth a try (following is an email I received from Shirley about this… I meant to share this with you when I saw you in Raleigh. I am taking your Health Course right now and it reminded me. I used to have all kind of body issues with pain from injuries and stress. Chiropractors hurt me so I wanted something that worked and to relieve my pains forever. Check this out…they have had 1,000’s of patients do this with close to 100% success rates…worked for me…thought I would share… https://totalmotionrelease.com/tmrhome
Off this list of prayers, http://www.cwgministries.org/ways-to-pray-lord-how-do-i-pray-today ... I would pray, prayer number: Number 6 daily, Number 12 daily, number 13 daily, number 14 daily, and yes, that means you will be putting an hour of healing prayer in, in the morning and another hour in the evening.
I would then plan on writing up your healing testimony of full, miraculous healing over the next 3 to 6 months and sending it to me as a testimony to inspire others.
And I would be sure open to dropping out of my life the things I have been doing in the past that did not result in healing and doing the above stuff as new stuff. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
OK, now the Lord may let me sleep. The above revelation was given to me in the middle of the night for you. It is now 4:00 in the morning. Receive it as God’s gift to you please. Be blessed and full of hope. The God of miracles is at your doorstep knocking and wanting to come in. Your profound testimony of complete healing is going to be your sword to inspirie many others to faith for healing.

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

How to Walk by the Spirit eBook

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.

Imagine That eBook

Imagine That eBook

by Rev. Jimmy D. Smith | 85 Pages

Beginning sometime around my 72nd year, my imagination really started to wake up again.  I was reading Dialogue with God, by Mark and Patti Virkler, when wheels began to turn.  In the weeks that followed I decided that this was a “do” book, not just a “read to learn” book. I began to do what the book suggested. Somewhere along the line I felt that the Lord gave me permission to experience the freedom of using my imagination to worship Him, to talk to Him, and more importantly to hear from Him.
