“So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn’t realize it was actually happening” Acts 12:9 (NLT).
First off, we are mortals and we have the propensity to always look for a logical reason behind every occurrence. If a house collapses, it probably has a faulty foundation. If earthquake happens, it is either caused by the sudden breaking of underground rocks along faults or by the reshaping of the Earth through the movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates (geographical jargon). We always want to find natural reasons for things to happen.
Even amongst Christians, we most times feel that the blessings we enjoy is because we do certain things like pay our tithes, give offerings, pray and fast, go to church every Sunday etc. Now all of that is good, but those are merely reasons that help us explain the blessings the we enjoy. At least, the rational mind can come to terms with those reasons.
I make bold to say that there are certain things that happen, which defy the bounds of logic and reasoning. Things like a child that was rescued after being trapped for days in the debris of a fallen building, or another child that came out unscathed after being run over by a vehicle. Some things cannot just be explained by mere logic and reasoning.
The fact that we cannot explain them, does not negate their reality. Peter could not understand what was happening, he thought he was in a trance. He had no explanation to why someone would just wake him up and the chains that held him bounds broke lose. That looked so good to be real. However, though it looked so good to be real to Peter, it happened all the same.
God is giving you a miracle that will look so good to be real! Your testimony will keep men transfixed at the amazing wonders of God in your life. There is nothing that God cannot do. You may not understand it, but your breakthrough is already happening. You may not be able to explain it, but your deliverance has taken place already! You are coming out of that situation in ways that will confound the theories of men. You are receiving a miracle that will be so good to be real!
“When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them. The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad” Psalm 126:1-3 (KJV).
