God does not want us to try and grasp it or understand it all. He is telling us to simply believe and trust Him.<\/p>\n<p>We like to try to touch, feel, and see things before we believe it, but that would be like Thomas. And what did Jesus say to Thomas in John 20:27?<\/p>\n<p>John 20:27 (NKJV) Then He said to Thomas, &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thomas didn&#8217;t believe until he touched, and saw it for himself.<\/p>\n<p>If we need a miracle, we have to believe. Believe God for it! If we are struggling in believing for it, \u00a0we have to ask God to help us in our unbelief. Don&#8217;t ignore it, but be open and honest with God.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing we must remember is that we have to fast and pray for certain things. In this situation, this man&#8217;s son was tormented by a deaf and dumb spirit. The disciples tried to cast it out and they couldn&#8217;t. Why? Jesus explains in Mark 9:29 (NKJV) So He said to them, &#8220;<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting<\/span>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We can&#8217;t expect every situation to happen the same way. The only thing that is the same is that we must believe! As we believe, pray and even fast for certain \u00a0situations, God will lead us in what needs to take place.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t just imitate what you have seen happen before. Listen for God and let Him lead.<\/p>\n<p>Miracles come by believing, praying &amp; fasting.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<p>Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
