This is an excerpt from John Parault's new book
"LIVING FAITH IS COMPLETE FAITH".

DO YOU BELIEVE IN THE reality of the MIRACULOUS?

The miraculous is realm of living faith for the child of God. You believe in God, then by virtue of what that entail you must believe in miracles, for God and miracles are inseparable; one demands the other. To declare that the God of heaven and earth exist, is to declare that miracles are in His hands to perform. There is no such thing as living faith in a weak God in Old and New Testament revelation, or in the heart of one that has experienced His love that released His power. Living faith cannot accept anything less than the God of power and might.

It is not given to the church to determine when and how God will perform acts of power that is to conclude that the day of miracles is over. That is the stand of many this day, and they die never haven witnessed a miracle in their lifetime. If they heard of one they don’t believe it. If it is before their eyes they discredited it. But there are some who are turn to acceptance and spiritual change.

Know those wrong interpretations initiates’ wrong doctrines about God that strips Him in the minds of His people of His ability to make sovereign decisions and to act in power in these days. This gives false understanding that can misdirect ones faith to lies, if believed. How can there be God and not power and miracles today. We are dependent, for the same needs are here as they have been through the centuries. There is nothing we can do to change what we cannot change; we still need Him and the miracles of His love and grace. Where faith is misdirected in the church it will always produce death, weakness, insufficiency, loss and problems and sadly to say religion void of the Lord’s presence. Temptation to believe lies comes from the adversary in order to stop the miraculous in the church. The church must know the purpose of God’s demonstrated power. Paul prayed for the Ephesians church to know the power that raised Jesus from the dead in the totality of life.

Eph 1:18-20 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places. (Us-ward means toward us, or in relation to us.)

For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1Co 4:20

Its time for the church to believe for the miraculous, it is preached, taught and written about, but only experienced on a small scale in some places; even when it comes it fades out, because flesh is permitted to touch the glory and to bring human ways into it. What we need to understand is, if we need divine intervention and we do, lets us turn away in humility from human interference, ( doubt and unbelief) for that will exalt the Lord. It is time to see that it is kingdom power for this hour. God is going to shake His church with acts of power, demonstrative power that is wonderful power, astounding power and advertising power of His greatness to arrest her attention in the midst of her unbelief, in order to deliver her out of it with sheer mercy.

To view things from another angle, which is power for everyday living and not so much in facing things needing the miraculous, but in needing God’s might daily to walk in victory. Here the church is also in unbelief and this has become a serious issue within her ranks, revealing degeneration in many areas. She is in unbelief in facing temptation to sin, bondages, fears, problems, hurts, rejection by others, pain, trauma and lost of varies kinds. I find the church confronting these crises not trusting the Lord, and then evil spirits gain access to their lives to control them, for they are not believing the Lord to do so. Unbelief in the church is a revelation of how inadequate her relationship to her Lord has been. A form of godliness is there. Yes, the externals are there in her, but not the substance of life. I repeat, “The just shall live by (living) faith,” and those who have really learned this, have really learn to live in the Lord. Again I repeat it is kingdom power for the hour! It is the power that establishes divine rule, purposes and life. Thy Kingdom come now O Lord, on this earth as it is already in heaven.
