WORKING MIRACLES WITH GOD - ALBERT ELISHA OBERDORFER - SAMPLE
God’s work is supernatural. He “gives life to the dead and calls those things that are not as though they were.” God invites us to be co-workers with Him. But along the way, He needs us to learn a few lessons. He needs to remove pride from us so that we can be endowed with His grace—His supernatural enablement. So before He can work with us effectively, He needs to have done a work in us. Take Jacob, for example. God had to break him. He had to remove Jacob’s strongest part. And change His identity from a supplanter to a prince of God. God works in us because we are sons and daughters, not illegitimate children. Yet, because some of us are so used to achieving in the natural, it is almost inevitable that we will not be producing some Ishmaels along the way. That we won’t try to achieve the promises of God in our own strength—through natural means. But God is faithful, as He was in the case of Abraham. He will be walking with us right until the end. And in the process, teach us, transform us, and make us usable. For His purpose. Unto His glory. Read the insights in this booklet. They will impart to you some faith steroids that will encourage you in your walk with the Lord. If you are willing, He is going to use you as a co-worker with Him.

Spirit.<br />
In almost every letter, Paul will emphasize<br />
this point.<br />
For example, in the letter to the<br />
Ephesians:<br />
“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,<br />
beseech you to walk worthy of the<br />
calling with which you were called,<br />
with all lowliness and gentleness, with<br />
longsuffering, bearing with one another in<br />
love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the<br />
Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Ephesians<br />
4:1-3)<br />
Or in the letter to the Philippians:<br />
“Therefore if there is any consolation<br />
in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any<br />
fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection<br />
and mercy, fulfill my joy by being likeminded,<br />
having the same love, being of<br />
one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be<br />
done through selfish ambition or conceit,<br />
but in lowliness of mind let each esteem<br />
others better than himself. Let each of you<br />
look out not only for his own interests,<br />
but also for the interests of others.”<br />
(Philippians 2:1-4)<br />
Over and over Paul will emphasize this<br />
one point.<br />
