Message
God made laws to control nature and the universe. However, these laws, along with every other thing that was created, were also made for His pleasure (Revelation 4:11). Whenever He wants, He can suspend the laws or reverse them to perform a miracle.
In today's Bible reading, Jesus persuaded His disciples to get into a ship and cross the sea to the other side while He went to a mountaintop to pray. By the time He came down from the mountain, the ship was already in the midst of the sea. Jesus then decided to suspend the law of gravity and walk on water to join His disciples. He didn't cancel the law; He only suspended it for a moment.
In 2 Kings 6:1-7, the sons of the prophets were cutting down wood by River Jordan, and the iron axe-head that one of them was using fell into the river and sank. Immediately, the man cried to Elisha, telling him that the axe-head was borrowed. Elisha then cut a piece of wood and threw it into the river. The wood that was supposed to float sank, and the iron axe-head floated to the surface. The Almighty God reversed the law of flotation just to perform a miracle. Likewise, in John 6:1-14, Jesus reversed the natural principle that causes things to reduce when you take out of them because He wanted to perform a miracle. When He gave His disciples the five loaves of bread and two fishes to share with the multitude, naturally speaking, the meal was meant to reduce as it was being distributed. However, because He had raised them in thanksgiving to the Father, the loaves and fishes multiplied as they were being handed out to the people.
Beloved, thanksgiving is a very powerful weapon that can cause God to suspend natural laws or reverse them on your behalf while also positioning you for tremendous multiplication. When Jesus gave thanks in John 6:11, the law of multiplication overruled the law of reduction. While grumblers and complainers experience destruction because of their murmurings (1 Corinthians 10:10), you shall experience multiplication and glorification if you engage in constant thanksgiving (Jeremiah 30:19). If you want God to suspend or reverse laws for your sake, I encourage you today to remember all that He has done and appreciate Him joyfully. I pray that the Lord will send help to you from above and reverse every law that is working against His purpose for your life, in Jesus' name.
