Dear Father,
Several times, I have had dreams where, by my hand, You opened deaf ears and blind eyes. Whenever I awake, I cannot help but think, “You think too highly of me.” Recently, I joined a meeting organized by a man through whose ministration You opened sixty-seven deaf ears. I listened to him intently and with anticipation for the answer to one question: “How?”
This is one of the closest I have been to a man who trusts You for miracles as easily as I trust You to inspire our daily letters. I am aware that the difference in our levels of trust is first found in our priorities, and then in the price we are willing to pay. Still, I needed to know: what price was paid to attain those results?
I remembered the part of Scripture where Jesus said, “This kind goeth not out except by prayer and fasting.” When this man spoke, I realized he was one man who desired a height in this Kingdom, knew the cost, and paid the price. He spoke about how often he fasted and how he prayed for a minimum of three hours daily. And as he spoke, I realized again that results in this Kingdom are not accidental; they often accrue to those willing to pay the price.
Father, I do not just want to talk and write about Your goodness; I also desire to demonstrate Your power--for the compelling effect that mastery of both will have. And I wonder: can I pay the price?
