Man Demands Miracles

Man was created by a miracle-working God-that miracle element is in man. Man yearns to perform miracles and live in the atmosphere of the supernatural.

This miracle element in man has made him an inventor, discoverer, and investigator.
It has caused him to experiment until he has conquered chemicals, electricity and the air.
It is this element that has given to us the aeroplane, submarine, radio, and wireless, and all the other devices, inventions, and discoveries that make up our modern civilization.

The miracle realm is man’s natural realm-he is by creation the companion of the miracle-working Father-God. Sin dethroned man from the miracle realm but through grace, he is coming into his own. It has been a hard struggle for us to grasp the principles of this strange life of faith.
Sin has made us workers-grace would make us trusters.

In the beginning, man’s spirit was the dominant force in the world; when he sinned, his mind became dominant, sin dethroned the spirit and crowned the intellect; but grace is restoring the spirit to its place of dominion, and when man comes to recognize the dominance of the spirit, he will live in the realm of the supernatural without effort.

No longer will faith be a struggle and fight but an unconscious living in the realm of God.
The spiritual realm is man’s normal home; it places him where communion with God is a normal experience, where faith in the miraculous, miracle-working God is unconscious, where he will exercise the highest type of faith and yet be as unconscious of having exercised faith as he is when he writes a check.
