Matthew 13:58 (NIV):"And He did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith."

Miracles are directly linked to our faith. In truth, everything about our Christian walk revolves around and depends on faith. In His Word, God insists we respond to Him in faith! In fact, the Bible says we can't approach Him, or please Him without it (Hebrews 11:6). Even Jesus - the Son of God - couldn't perform miracles in an atmosphere of unbelief. In this particular passage, people recognised Jesus as the local carpenter's son, and that familiarity bred contempt. They just couldn't see Him as the Son of God and had no faith to believe He could work the miraculous. There is nothing more crucial for a believer, than cultivating an atmosphere of faith in our lives. We do this by remaining in the Word! God's Word holds and creates a sure hope of wonderful promises for us, and builds a solid, living faith in His willingness and ability to honour it. Even when we don't see the reality of His promises immediately, that atmosphere of faith keeps us rooted and grounded - trusting Him until they are manifest. Make spending time in God's Word your priority, and consciously build an atmosphere of faith for Him to freely operate in.

Daniel 3:25 (NKJV): “‘Look!’ he answered, ‘I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.’”

 

Divine exemption permits us to walk above the waves, amidst a devastating storm, just like Peter did. It enables us to experience supernatural increase in spite of economic collapse. It provides us with supernatural immunity against an epidemic, just like it did for John G. Lake. This reality of divine exemption doesn’t come by accident; it’s experienced by believers who have received supernatural revelation from the mighty Word of God! This revelation knowledge of the scriptures permits us to access the supernatural reality of heaven, in spite of the natural limitations here on earth. Even in the fiery furnace, the three Hebrews boys experienced divine exemption because of the revelation they carried on the inside of them. They knew their God had the power to save them, and chose to remain faithful to Him regardless the risk of natural death. Today, as you open your heart to God’s Word: trust and expect the Holy Spirit to give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation to understand Who your God is, and the power that exists in His Presence inside you – ready to flow in and from you, providing you with divine exemption.
