What You Need To Conceive Your Miracle

“So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground”; – Mar 4:26

When Mary reminded the Angel Gabriel that she was a virgin and thus unable to give birth to this “Jesus” that he talked about, he replied that she’ll conceive because the Holy Spirit shall come upon her. However, Scripture gives us no record that anything dramatic happened to Mary after the angel left; all we do know was that a few weeks later she was walking around with a bump, (Lk 1:35;41). That means that, for all practical purposes, a baby started forming inside Mary the moment she believed what the angel said!

In explaining the Parable of the Sower much later in Lk 8:11, Jesus said “The seed is the word of God…” Even the Apostle Peter in 1Pt 1:23 compared the word of God to an incorruptible “seed”. What happened to Mary literally is what happens to us metaphorically; the faith for your miracle comes when the seed of the Word of God is planted in your heart; because “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom 10:17).

An expectation for a miracle that was not provoked or instigated by exposure to God’s Word is probably just daydreaming or fantasy. It’s God’s will that everyone lives a good life (Jn 10:10); but your good life is not my good life, so your prayer point cannot be my prayer point. It’s under the atmosphere of the word of God that our faith is provoked to specifically believe for “the things that are freely given to us of God” (1Co 2:12).

And just as a woman mustn’t expose herself to just about any man in the physical, you mustn’t expose your heart to just about any “word”. Real, God-inspired miracles are only birthed in an atmosphere of faith-filled, grace-based words of the New Covenant.

So, Beloved, “Let the word of CHRIST dwell in you richly” (Col 3:16); read the word daily, listen to good messages, read grace-filled books and devotionals, etc... and watch your spiritual life birth a miracle that’ll be just as spectacular (at least for your level) as a virgin giving birth to a baby.

AMEN.

More Blessings await you today; you’ll not miss them in Jesus’ Name.
