Half of Reality
Instant coffee is only the illusion of a real drink, created to save time. It is the same in the spiritual life: sometimes we settle for half-solutions and half-answers, calling ourselves realists.
But what is reality? Pastor Andrey Polishchuk talks about how most of us live only on the "ground floor" of our lives, refusing to see the upper floor. We substitute religiosity for spirituality and theology for revelation.
You will discover why the problem is not the absence of God's miracles but our closed eyes. How does the story of Gideon and the prophet Elisha prove that our reality is only half of the picture? And what do you do if your personal faith is not enough for a miracle?
Key thoughts:
«Our problem is not the absence of God or His angels. Our problem is closed eyes. Pray: "Lord, perhaps there is something I am not seeing? Open my eyes to the full picture"».
«If your faith can be broken by logic or by someone else's persuasive speech, it means it was built on human wisdom. But if you have lived through a supernatural God, no one will convince you otherwise».
«The worst thing you can do is to start explaining to yourself why God will not be able to help you. Everything you justify in your life will stay with you forever».
«Miracles do not happen for the sake of special effects, but for the sake of real need. But sometimes God's miracle is simply taking out your own money and paying for someone else's need».
