Miracles Normal

Miracles Normal

Christianity began in miracles; it is propagated by miracles. Every new birth is a miracle; every answer to prayer is a miracle; every victory over temptation is a miracle.

When Reason takes the place of the miraculous, Christianity loses its virility, fascination, and fruitfulness. Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is the life of God in man. Christianity was the unveiling of the heart and nature of the Great Father-God in the Man Jesus.

There could not be a religion that would appeal to human¬ity that was not founded upon miracles and propagated by miracles. Man craves a miracle-working God today. Whenever there arises a man or woman whose prayers are heard and answered, the multitudes flock to them.

Man wants a living God. Man craves a miracle. The deep-seated hunger in the human heart for God is the reason for all religions. Men are easily deceived by pseudo-miracle workers because of this hunger for the supernatural.

One of America’s greatest psychologists, who ridiculed the miraculous for over thirty years in his classroom at one of the leading universities, finally sat at the feet of the high
priestess of Spiritualism and confessed over his own signature in a popular magazine that at last he had found faith in the supernatural.

What a pitiable picture! Turning from the miracle-working Jesus to the miracle-working Satan. God created man in His own image and in His own likeness, and through Jesus Christ allows him to become a partaker of His own nature.

This lifts man into the realm of God, and in that realm, the Father-God can unveil Himself to His child. The answer to the universal craving of man for the supernatural is found in the new birth, and indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, and the Name of Jesus.
Prayer becomes a miracle-working force in the world.
