Lord if it's you...

On Sunday, March 13, 2011 our Pastors son, Minister W. Lott, preached an amazing service on Miracles, Signs, and Wonders.  One scripture that is resonating with my spirit is Matthew 14:25 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

While many of us would love to experience such a miraculous thing, we often walk in too much fear.  Either and sometimes both, the fear of looking foolish, of fear created by doubt.  As Minister W. Lott preached he began to explain how our fear keep us in the boat.  Instead of trusting the Lord and stepping out of the boat, we would rather sit back and feel "safe".  Additionally, we are often so caught up in what we look like to others that we miss the miracle.  One thing Minister Lott said was, that our miracles come at the point of looking foolish.  This I know and believe to be true, it is with radical praise, that we cause the heavens to open and God begins/continues to show himself to us.

 He continued on to teach on the supernatural:  1.) Something that has no natural explanation2.) Natural laws are stopped so God can act on your behalf.   Understanding that God is supernatural.  We as mere humans want to put and keep God in a box, when the truth is, that to know God is to know that He cannot be boxed.  Isaiah 55:8-9 teaches us “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,  neither are your ways my ways,”  declares the LORD.  “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
No matter how many degrees we have, how many places we have experienced, no matter how elite the institutions in which we have studied, we will not be able to "figure" our God nor apply logic to him because He is supernatural!
