You
Were Born For This
7
Keys to a Life of Predictable Miracles
By Bruce
Wilkinson
From the
author of The Prayer of Jabez comes a new book about how to bring miracles to
life for the people you encounter in your life.
Bruce
Wilkinson has written a book that he believes will help us all live a life of
miracles. He believes that by following
a few simple principles you too will be able to be a miracle to someone
else. He uses this book to explain how
he believes this can be achieved. In
fact this book is written as a step by step plan to implement this blessing
into your life.
This brings
up the immediate question; is it achievable?
I do believe in leading a miracle enhanced life and I think that Bruce
has a valid plan to achieve this life. I
do have a few personal problems with how he sees things occurring in the realm
of heaven but aside from my own personal interpretations of the Bible, I
believe that Bruce has made this process as simple as possible.
This does
not mean that the performance of the process is simple or easy, but it does
mean that Bruce has the ability to make the complex, simple. He has seven key steps to putting yourself in
the path of Jesus and allowing Him to use you to bring hope to someone else.
Even though
the steps are written out: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7; it is still not as simple
as that. It requires both commitment and
faith on your part. You are the one who
will need to take those steps out in faith to put yourself in the path of the
needy. You are the one who will need to be available when Jesus needs you not
when you need to feel like it. You are
the one who will have to believe that Jesus will be there to give you the tools
necessary to provide what someone else needs.
I read this
book and enjoyed it because not only does Bruce give us a step by step plan; he
also gives us examples of how it has occurred in both his life as well as the
lives of others whom he has drawn stories from.
It
is these stories which encouraged me the most.
I am slightly intimidated by the process, yet these stories help me to
believe that it is possible but also that it is worthwhile. It is encouraging and hopeful. It is something we all need to have more of
in our own lives. It is interesting that
the book in and of itself is a miracle.
I am sure someone will read this and will find the book to be the
miracle they themselves are looking for.
My
advice to anyone who reads this book is to do the work necessary on your own
side to make it what you need it to be.
If that is to read more of the Bible to discern what is true; read the
Bible. If it is to pray for the opportunities
to start slow and grow with this process; then pray. As with anything worth having in this life,
it is all about what you are willing to put into something those values what
you will get out of something. In this
case you are not going to be the only one who receives value; it may be someone
who really needs the miracle you and Jesus are going to provide for them.
