This is probably a question many of you have asked for a variety of reasons in your lifetime. Today I am pondering it from a different perspective. I believe all the things that happened in the Bible, even the supernatural things that happened to average every day ordinary people, are true. I even believe they can happen today. But I don't see myself as a recipient/conduit to those things happening today. I totally believe that they can happen to and through other people, but I find myself wondering why I don't think they can happen to or through me.
Is it that I do not feel worthy to have supernatural experiences?
Is it that I do not really know my identity in Christ and therefore miss the supernatural in my life?
Is it that I simply am blinded by culture and society that rationalizes away anything of a supernatural nature?
Am I just missing it?
Why not ME?
Am I not a child of the King?
Do I not have the same spirit in me that the early disciples had in them?
Am I not a joint heir with Jesus Christ?
Can I not trust that He is willing and able do all things through Christ in me?
The answer to all of those questions is most definitely yes. So I will ask the question with a different emphasis. WHY NOT me?
The tone completely changes from questioning my usefulness, to questioning why it isn't happening in my life. It certainly can, and sometimes even does, and I simply mistake it, rationalize it or miss it all together.
