So I started to read the first book of the World Race assigned reading today. The book is
The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind by Bill Johnson. The first chapter jumps into talking about miracles, specifically healings. The first thought that jumped into my mind was “I don’t believe that. How is that possible?” Even before I could finish the thought, I was taken aback that my mind went there. It is hard for me to believe in these miracles that I have never seen, particularly healings. My mind is scientifically and medically driven. How can the tumors of a terminally ill man all of a sudden disappear? It just isn’t logical. But, then, God does not operate on logic. I don’t like that this is what I think, but it’s the reality.
I have only read several pages, but I pray that God will change my mind throughout this book, and the months leading up to the race. I am confident that God will work miracles on the race and that I will witness healings, deliverance, revelations, demons cast out and miracles of so many sorts. But still when I read it in a book, I am met with unbelief. There is this dichotomy in my thinking that I cannot understand. Is it just that I don’t believe it here, in America, where I rely so heavily on myself, rather than seeking God to perform miracles? I don’t know.
I do know that I will eagerly and expectantly pray for a bigger faith in the miracles of God. I ask Him to shatter my disbelief and to challenge my feeble faith. I pray for a transformed mind, for me and the entire WR team. I ask you to pray for miracles in our ministry. And I pray that you, also, believe.
“Have faith in God.” ~ Jesus
(Mark 11:22)
