Production - The magician produces something from nothing. A handkerchief appears in the once empty hand; a rabbit comes from a vacant top hat; or confetti showers out of the magician's hand which once held a shredded, soaking wet napkin.
Vanish - The reverse of production is when something goes to nothing. A knot tied between two handkerchiefs suddenly is no more or a quarter disappears into thin air.
Transformation - One item/person becomes completely different in appearance. A handkerchief, once white, becomes a rainbow of colors; a girl transforms into a tiger; or a blank paper evolves into a beautiful piece of art.
Escape - The magician or assistant comes out of the most confined, restrained, or painful places unharmed. An assistant cut in half comes out without a scar or a magician handcuffed, tied in a bag and placed in a securely locked box will escape in minutes without a sweat.
The act leaves you baffled, on the edge of your seat. Our minds cannot wrap around the unbelievable. We need answers to how, why, when, where and what? The questions remain and bind up our thoughts, all the while draining our energy. We must abandon all the questions and believe in the unknown, accept the amazing and enjoy the performance.
The miracles Jesus performed when dwelling among men could very well been speculated by nonbelievers as "magic". He produced sight from blind eyes. Jesus made leper's sores vanish. He transformed water into wine. Those who demanded answers could not escape binding thoughts. Unbelievers did not follow Jesus, but rejected Him and refused to accept the miracles performed through the power of the Holy Spirit from His Father. Those individuals lacked joy in their lives. They were not promised an eternal life in Heaven. Life remained hard without any hope.
As a believer, we can get caught up in the questions arising from an event or situation. We do not feel this should happen and demand a reason from God why; how will we get through; when will this end; where can we turn; what shall we do next? Each day, our minds race with no answers appearing to satisfy or ease our thoughts. Our energy drains completely and we feel hopeless. Well, guess what? There is a much easier approach, an amazing answer that will make the seemingly impossible come to be possible. One Way, one Source fits all situations and circumstances - God!
"how shall we escape if we ignore so great a salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will." (Hebrews 2:1-4)
Give Him the situation. He produced you from dust. His only Son sacrificed to vanish all our sins. He will transform your life and replace lies with Truth. He will help you escape the bondage placed on your life from the devil. Guess what? All we have to do is believe in Him, accept Him into your every day life and enjoy every breath He provides. God is not a magician and does not perform magic. He is our Maker and performs miracles. He will leave you standing in awe of the ways He blesses, provides, loves, comforts and strengthens.
Read (2 Corinthians 3:17-18)
Give your life to Him and receive the miracle of transformation. A life once dead will come to life. Eyes once blind will now see. You will learn Truth to follow and a Rock on which to stand.God, thank you for another day. Rid me of any unbelief which hinders my journey with You. Thank You for transforming my life. Thank You for sending Your Son to vanish all my sins. I love You.
Keep praying harder than the devil can work.
