Subject: Why Could He Not Do Many Miracles? |
Bible Note: srbaegon, OK, lets work out the wording. If I have a gun that is loaded, my faith that it can kill, will not make it fire, it takes my finger pulling the trigger. The evidenced faith here is my finger pulling the trigger, I then get my desired result. What it comes down to is, God has something for us in his sovereignty, we have to come to Him and ask, before he will give it to us. Heb 4:5 And in this place again, (If they shall enter) into my rest. God has prepared a rest for His people. (ME,) entering into that rest provided for me, does not place me as sovereign over GOD. It is his Gift, all his. How could my accepting a gift prepared for me, from the foundations of the world, place me in a position of sovereignty over him, who has prepared it for me? All Healing, Deliverance, Salvation, and whatever else you can think of, that God has prepared for those that love Him, ALL are sovereign gifts. Only He, as the God of the Universe, the Only Wise God, can provide those gifts. The only stipulation to receiving any of these gifts is, you must go to the giver of the gift, you cannot get it any other way. The flow of the virtue is always present with GOD, our action releases it. For without faith we can do nothing. In Him Imm |
