Looking at the world from the vantage point of “everyday life”, one might conclude that life is totally haphazard, reckless, and out of control. This could cause anxiety, stress, or even other unhealthy views of this life. Today’s message from the Holy Scriptures takes a glimpse at what the Word of God offers us a quite different, more wholesome view of the world as we hear this message called ” Dealing With The Realm Of The Miraculous”

Transforming Power Statements:
1) There are many things “professing” to be gods, however, King David through the Word of the True God, came to know that there is really only one God, Who reveals Himself through the showing up in every unseen area of this life by making the outcome in all the circumstances of life to bring the believer through victoriously!
2) There have always been liars from the Garden Of Eden up until this very second, but God, Who raised His Son Jesus Christ from the dead has given perfect prophecy which He has promised that His Word will never fail!
3) The Apostle Paul admonishes the Church to realize that there have always been liars who try to confuse people for the purpose of deception leading to destruction, but God has given us a more sure Word of prophecy, that has been proven by the Resurrection Of Jesus Christ from the dead, so that we who believe in Him can be joyfully certain that HE LOVES US!
