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.
