FAITH CAPSULE: Counting on God will keep one from courting on magic device agents!
Isaiah 46
Gain understanding in the word of God to know that truly a miracle is not magic.
One expecting manifestation should give self with the expectation to the miracle of God instead of magic.
The miracle is simply a wonder, and God alone is the wonder-working God.
Miracles are of God, miracles last forever, and it runs deep.
Just as worship is in opposition to worrying, so is a miracle to magic.
The miracle belongs to God, while magic belongs to the deceiver of all.
Magic is a device of the enemy.
Magic glitters, and it will only last for a moment.
Seeking magic for the manifestation of expectation is seeking a substitute for God.
It is wrong! It is wrong when likening God to another god.
Isaiah 40:18 warns, “To whom then will you liken God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?”
God for today, just like in the past, seeking manifestation concerning expectation in the place of magic will provoke the judgment of God.
Do not substitute the miracle of God for magic.
Anyone that does not liken God to any other god will count on God to gain and retain His presence.
Counting on God will keep one from courting other means that will always lead to self-disappointment and discouragement.
God is God that is incomparable to any other god.
Isaiah 46:5 said, “To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal and compare Me, that we should be alike?”
Counting and courting God is the only avenue not to be a victim of magic devices in this wicked world.
Counting and courting on God is evidence of getting close to God to experience His miracle.
Disallow the magic and devices of the devil, and be close to God.
Magic will fail!
Physically or spiritually, no matter how the result of magic glitters, waiting on the miracle hand of the Almighty God is the only way of receiving from God.
Also, one that gives self to God will receive from God.
Pharaoh was counting and courting magic to deny Israelites from the request of God through Moses to serve God.
Exodus 7:10-11 records, “So Moses and Aaron went into Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.”
The magic worked for the magicians of Pharaoh but could not match against God.
Any power demonstration outside of the name of God is a failure.
Allow the manifestation of a miracle by following through the way of God and not a way that seems right.
The way out of bondage is a miracle of God, not magic.
Prayer for today: Ask God to keep you from the magical snares of this wicked world.
