Introduction
The Holy Spirit In The Lives of Patriarchs
God is a God of wonders; He is miraculous and wants to bless all His children mightily and beyond their expectations. In another way, we also want to manifest the supernatural and have great blessings from God.
We desire a miracles, signs and wonders filled life. They are all absolutely in order. God is not how we a magician but a miracle worker and a miraculous God.
Miracles come by the suspension of natural forces, laws and processes. We also want the presence of God. It is the presence and the dominion of God that make all the things we want happen.
The presence of God goes and abides where the fruit of the spirit is dominating and in charge completely. So to secure and retain the best from God you need the fruit of the spirit – dominating your life.
