It is very interesting to note the "pattern" of practical preparation for real "Jesus" class miracles, and it has been pretty consistent since miracles began. There have been debatable explanations re: the reason Christ oftenadmonished hise n the receovng end of one of His phenmoenal wnders, to go and "tell no one". This is quite a contradiction to the posture and reasoning of our current "wonder workers", because they do all that they can, through every avenue of the media available, to publish how 'wonderful" they are, and the great "miracles" being wrought through their hands. The ways of the Prophets and servants of God of old, were founded in the umost humbleness, humility, and awareness that "no good thing dwelleth in them", and that they are "who" they are, and "do" what they do, through no more than the all sufficient grace, and mercy of the True and Living God! Unfortunately, amongst the latter day "priesthood",we have mutated into an army of "power rangers", and the weapons of ur warfare ARE, indeed, carnal, and our "miracles" don't always "pass the litmus rest of authenticity", don't "last", and those who come to us believing that the 'snake oil" we peddle for 29.95 + tax, will do for them what only the "blood" can do, and that price has already been paid, leave with broken piggy banks, and a couple of band-aids for their shattered hope,and disillusionment. Perhaps, this was why the Prophet Elijah, took the "subject" of his miracle (the widow's son) up to the loft,out of sight of spectators,and speculators,because, when that great a measure of God's "exousia",and virtue is about to be released, only those who are truly sanctified,proven in faith. and trustworthy to not speak or react,impulsively, are allowed to be in the same room with the miracle. Miracles are extraordinary by their very nature,and the means to them are usally so unorthox, that the simple minded, the weak in faith, the shallow, and the carnal ,can't handle the "absolutes and inner workings of a genuine miracle. Elijah didn't need a hysterical, emotional, Mother hovering over him, as he followed the unction of the voice of God to restore the ruwach breath back into this boy,'s body, and if the way he resuscitated him, hd been witnessed by someone who was not walking in the spirit, he may have been charged with perversion, or labeled a "pedophile', because the Bible says that "he stretched himself out "upon" the child three times." When you have been charged with a life or death assignment, you don;t have time to be distracted by, or to have to be concerned about folk who're not where they need to be in their walk with God, because they will cause you to waiver, to err, to doubt, and to 'miss it", because your own faith is diverted,so keep on loving them but "PUT 'em OUT!" Let them know that you love and adore their precious little hearts, but you've got work to do, and you'll fellowsip with them and give them a "debriefing" of the situation on the other side of the miracle!

In the medical field , when a patient "crashes"mor takes a turn towards "death valley", if family or friends are present, they are asked to leave, with the assuarance that they will be updated on their loved one's conditon and progress. Most peope think that this is because they don't want the family to witness, or be traumatized by the frantic, intense process of "coding", which can become a very disturbing sight , for the untrained, and those not in the medical profession. There's a secondary reason for this though, that no one may ever admit, and it is for the hospital's protection, in case anything goes wrong, during the process of the "code", (which often happens), then there are no "non-hspital personnel" to have to worry about, but whatever the rationalization, the call is still always to "put 'em out"! For everyone, there is a time to "see" a miracle, to "be" a miracle, and to "do" a miracle, and these times and seasons are detrimental to our becoming whom we were foreordained to be, and can not operate out of sequence, because a miracle has to be where the grace to perform it is,and where the grace to receive and believe it is! This is why our testimonies are personal, and uniquely indivdual, because no one was there when He saved you, the (ultimate miracle),and raised you from amongst the "living dead", and no one can tell your story with the impact and passion that you can,so while God is still working out the miracle of your salvation,and leading you through the vslley of totlal deliverance, you need to know that just "anybody",and not 'everybody" will be on that journey with you, and it is for your own preservation and protection. Only those who will genuinely celebrate your victories and elevations, only those of like precious faith, only those who share rthe same hunger and thirst after rightousness that you do, will be permitted past the 'velvet rope", and everyone else, well, you'll have to "put 'em out"! There's a secular saying that goes "You don't have to go "home',but you've got to......"!

When Christ healed the man blind from birth, the disciples were presen, and there was no record of anyone else bing within range of tis unusual miaracle, because he method, alone, would've stirred great controversy, and an uproar. The bible declares how that Jesus took the spit (which most of us consider to be "disgusting, in and of itself,because many of us have gone int battle mode over someone "spitting' on us, even accidentally) of His mouth, and mixed it weith the dirt, forming a mere "mud pie", and applied it to the man's eyes, and of course, the man walked away with a miracle, and he didn't have to leave an 'offering", or the small cost of 19.99+s&h. Had there been "spectators" to a miracle of this sort, they would've missed the actual "miracle" because they couldn' get past the "spit", and that's why, these kind, of little faith, you've got to "put ;em out!" When /christ delayed His arrival to jairuss daughter's dilemma, and she was dead by the time He finally reached her, the "church people" were all standing around, mournng and mocking the very Ressurectiion, Himself, because He showed up 'after" the need of the miracle, being too carnally minded to recognize,that that's what makes a "miracle a "miracle! The Bible says how that they were left behind, and not allowed o witness the miracle,because of their immaturity,disbelief, and the fact that they laughed at the Miracle Worker, Himself! Imagine these same souls being in the room , where the corpse of this baby had been stretched out on a "cooling board', already sitff in death, and Christ stretching forth His hand and saying "Talitha cumi" to her, and her spirit being quickened back to life in her body. One can only imagine the chaos, hysteria, and the stampede, and that's why that "kind" can't be allowed too close to a miracle,and you've got to "put 'em out!"
