Little Miracles

I have often posted of the more grandios fruits of walking this path, the path of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  These fruits come because of walking circumspectly before the Lord.  They happen, because of true faith in the Lord Jesus Christ! 

This means that faith must be based on correct principles, in order for it to have the desired effect.  If we believe that drinking sand will quench our thirst, we may be dissappointed.  No amount of faith in an incorrect principle will yeild results contrary of the law of God.  In fact, it is not faith at all, because faith is actually aligning with correct principle.  We must also know that what we are doing is actually according to the will of God, so that we can have full confidence in the outcome. 

Today, I would like to tell you about the greater fruits of following the Path of the Saviour.  This is a story that was told to me, and I will try to relate it to you as accurately as I can.  I do know those involved in this event on both sides. 

There was a man who once had a tremendous desire to serve God.  He prayed to God and received a powerful spiritual experience.  This man went forth striving to help others onto the correct path of following the Saviour, but found many were not interested.  They were too busy following the various paths that would lead them to the fulfillment of their worldly desires.  They loved to follow the paths that claimed the name of the Saviour, but were really just compromises with the world. 

Those compromised paths are many, they are the wide path which Christ has warned us against, and yet so many go in thereat.  The path of the Saviour is narrow, it is precise, it is in keeping the commandments of God. 

This man, got discouraged, because he could not get anyone to see and follow the narrow path.  With time, he lost hope.  He began to drown his sorrows in strong drink.  His life went ary. 

Then, as time went on, he met an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, who also walked that narrow path of the Saviour.  Something changed inside him.  The flame of Christ, in this man's heart was re-ignited.  Soon, he was baptized, and started his life anew!  He was instructed and given the priesthood of God.  Then went he forth in great power, the power of God unto the convincing of men!  He spread the Gospel of the Narrow Way to his family, and several others.  Now, there is a striving branch of the Lord's family there.  He left behind the ways of the world, and moved into the ways of Christ!  That joy that he longed for so long ago, is becomming a reality! 

To see someone's heart touched, to see their lives changed, to see peace and love triumph in their lives!!  That is what the Gospel of Messiah is truly about.
