The first thing that draws attention when a person recognizes that alone he can’t is that when he does the first step seek for help. But where can you get help? In God. Let us look at the example of the widow’s husband, a God fearing man, and faithful to his wife, a good father, but he did not recognize that he alone could not. He tried to solve the problem on his way but got into debt and made a pact with an unbeliever. His faith was weak, eventually locking up, became sick and in debt, he never seek the help of Elisha. But why didn’t God helped him? Because he respected that mans decision. And today is the same with those who think that by praying and reading the Bible, their problems must be solved by God. But the miracle has a price we have to give and do all that he can, on a voluntary basis.
After dying, the creditor didn’t respect the death of this man or his widow or children, having come to take them as slaves. This happens because when a person makes a pact with evil, his faith is weakened and evil comes to collect what is his. So the first thing to do is recognize that you alone can not, break the pact with evil and keep your covenant with God today.
Remember that only you know what’s inside of your home, your heart and, although God knows well, he does not oblige. If you love a person more than God, how can you know the supernatural? God wants you to love your mother or your child to the point of giving his life for them, but never more than Him that’s not good for you, because you will eventually idolize that person and you will see that she or he is not perfect, it will disappoint you, then the sorrow will speak louder.
And when the time comes that God puts to the test: to take or deny your faith? If you take your faith, you can not let anyone interfere with it, because it’s just you, God and the problem. So who will win? Christ had already said that the strong wins. And who is brave? The One who invests in their faith. So, use your intelligence and close the door on what is not, because their decisions must be made on the Word of God. So what can I do? Recognize, be honest, take the faith, to develop communion with God, or give all of you!
But it is God who makes the miracle? Yes, but only after you do your part, surrender your heart, your life. The miracle that you want depends on 50% of you. God will not take action if you don’t do and give everything of you. Only then He will do all that is out of reach! This makes it independent and no one can prevent their happiness.
And even after knowing the supernatural, you will not be satisfied, as was the case with the widow who continued to ask for more containers, even after they have finished. So also is the case with those people who know the supernatural, they always want more because they know it all just depends on them, so that God can act.
