The Student Asked: Q1. Since I have authority over my "territory" and "domain" it seems to me that I should be able to pray for my clothes not to wear out, like the Israelites. Does that seem logical to you, or just way too simplistic? In regard to miracles of this nature, including that of turning water into wine, etc. there is a balance between the 'need' for the miracle and the provision of finances to purchase the item. There is a scientific law in nature that states that nature and energy will take the course of least resistance in its outworkings; same goes with the flow of water. Remember that all miracles in the natural realm is only the outworking of scientific spiritual laws working transcending the natural laws. All spiritual laws that work requires spiritual energy. Thus when a desired result is required - like provision of clothes or food - the best application of spiritual laws will be the course that takes the minimum spiritual energy required. In an environment where less spiritual energy is required to provide finances to buy the clothes as opposed to extending its life, then that will be the course taken by angels and the Holy Spirit in providing clothes in the natural realm. Where it is more impossible - like being in a desert with no means to develop the clothes industry like the Israelites - to provide the clothes through such means would take more energy than merely extending the life span of the clothes they already have, then the course of extension of life span would be taken. At other times, where there is a benefit of a sign and wonder to unbelievers and as a demonstration and a witness of God's power, spiritual energy is expended to create the demonstration. Of course, in the normal course of events and natural things, there will always be a greater life-span of all natural things around those who love the Lord and are in union with Him because the spiritual energy around them sustains the natural world around them far better than those who are not in union with the Lord. It is in this secondary area that you can exercise some level of 'power' through your yieldedness to the Lord. Although I doubt that you might want to wear the same clothes for the next fifty years J. J Q2. Thank you for this explanation. Yes, I see what you mean by the spiritual laws, which angels follow, likely being that of taking the path of least resistance in order to provide the desired result; thus in my situation, likely providing finances to buy the clothes rather than extending their life for 50 years. As a side point, in the natural realm, a dam can be built to direct the flow of water or collect it for a lake for fun. Does the Lord ever do things just for fun? In terms of fun, Yes, the Lord does do things which increase our pleasure and enjoyment of Him and of life. So in such a case where a particular work or miracle or need requires much energy but its beneficial effect for the many far outweighs the amount of spiritual energy required, such works or miracles are commissioned by Him. J God does laugh and rejoice. He finds His enemies amusing and laughs in Psalm 2. www.eaglevision.com.my |
