Luck and Miracles Which is Real?

Many people have no problem believing in good luck and bad luck, yet they have a lot of trouble believing in miracles. This might be because not a lot of people know miracles are for, well in order for me to tell you what miracles are for I need you to know about luck.

Luck is something that man has come up with in order for us to cope with the good things and bad things that happen in our lives.

But the truth is luck is fake; in all the stories I have read about someone saying that they were “lucky” or had “bad luck” it usually has no real purpose it just happened.

But in the bible it says:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

Since everything in life has a purpose then that means luck cannot exist, however there is one thing that does have purpose and that is miracles.

Miracles are what we ask for in a time of need and if it is not a selfish request God will grant it.

For example when I was a child I had an almost fatal case of pneumonia I was going to have to stay in the hospital for a while for observation and to get well.

I didn’t know this when I was a kid but while I was there I kept on getting sleepy, and every time I tried to sleep my mother or a doctor would wake me up. But what I didn’t know was that if I had fallen asleep I would have died.

Now the part that was a miracle was a missionary from Africa had flown all the way to America to deliver my mother and I a message. He said that I would be better in two days and that by that time I would be going home.

And so after two days and all the prayers it came to pass and I was able to go home.

Now I am sure your wondering why bad things happen since there is no bad luck. Well there are some Christians who like to believe that all bad things happen because the Devil is just wanting to attack us, well that is partially true. The Devil does like to pick on us but the Devil does not have the power to do so. He must have permission to do this, when we disobey God by sin or by not doing what he asks of us. That is like giving the Devil the keys to your life.

God does not just take his protection from us if he does it is because we sinned against him and it is us who has pushed God’s protection.

There is a scripture that talks about God’s protection

Ezra 8:22

I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, "The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him."

Someone who has true faith that Miracle’s can happen they will feel ashamed if they ever have even a little doubt in him and his protection.

If your not ashamed of doubting him and his protection then you remove God’s protection and that will leave room for the enemy to attack.

If you notice there is a reason for Miracles to happen and there is also a reason for the Enemy to attack you. Both should make you want to run to God.

Miracles help you with life’s troubles and being attacked by the Enemy is something we bring upon ourselves when we disobey or doubt God.

So I suggest you have faith in Miracles and what God can do over Luck because it can come back to bite you in the butt.

Faith in the Impossible

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

These are not just words but a way of life; in life all things require faith. When a miracle happens it is because someone had the faith that a miracle could happen, and that God would be the one who could make it happen.

When someone asks for a miracle and it doesn’t happen it is because there was no faith in the heart of the one who asked. When you ask for healing would you ask with faith that you can be healed? Or will you question if it can happen?

Faith is needed to believe in events that are normally impossible

A Miracle is an "event" that occurs in a normal context, but which is normally impossible by the laws of nature.

Examples are the virgin birth, the resurrection of Jesus, Mohammed's night ride to Jerusalem and so on. Some people believe that miracles still occur in the present. Some people believe that miracles only happened in the past but some of the most amazing miracles happen today.

An example of one was when I was in the 3^rd grade I had the worst case of pneumonia I could have died but God had other plans; I was healed within 2 days.

Another is of my little sister she had hit her head so many times that eventually she had a seizure and died. But my entire family prayed and she was healed the same night.

These are but a few there are millions that I don’t even know of. Some people will try and say it is luck, let me tell you luck is something that happens on it’s own for apparent reason which means luck is impossible since all things happen for a reason and are pre-planned.

I am sure a lot of people would prefer to believe in luck over faith, since faith requires work and a strong spirit and a strong connection with God.

But God never said that Life would be easy and that miracles would just come out of nowhere. It takes faith for the impossible to happen, not luck or something you plan yourself.

Sometimes a miracle happens differently than what you asked for, God doesn’t give you what you want but what you need. He will bless you with the desires of your heart but he will not give you something you were not meant or need to have.

These are things that you need to think about…

Do you have faith in the impossible?

If you need something will you have faith that it can happen?

Will you question if a miracle can happen?

Will you accept what God gives you or will you complain?
