I have been asking the Lord to explain the first miracle to me, about the water turning into wine. Not long after, I came across a book written by Dr. Joseph Murphy. The Power of the Subconscious Mind.
Years ago, I read Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peel who took the knowledge of Joseph Murphy and taught many people to think constructively. President Trump said in a documentary of his life that he attended the church of Norman Vincent Peel. He said that he could not wait to go to church because of the teachings. If you listen to Trump, he is always calling things of the future into being. He talks like a prophet. Aligning his words with Mark 11:23 You shall have whatever you say. He speaks with authority. Sometimes the things he says sound ridiculous, but this is how he became president.
You have to marry a thought. Jesus and his disciples were invited to a wedding where he turned water into wine. The water of the Bible is the word, and the following scripture fits here perfectly.
2 Pet 1:4: “God has given us exceedingly great and precious promises that by these we may be partakers of his divine nature.”
We hold scripture (water) in our thoughts. Meditate on it like pouring water into vessels and filling them to the brim. We make our minds full of the water of the Word of God, until it turns into wine. Wine means the realisation of desires; you are always turning water into wine when you are a constructive thinker.
Josh 1:8: “Keep this book of the law in your mouth night and day and you will have good success.”
Psalm 1 says He who meditates on the word of God day and night will be like a tree planted by streams of water. Whatever he does will prosper.
I have used this kind of meditation many times in my life. At first, we do it in a parrot fashion, and that’s alright. But if you keep speaking the Word constantly, one of those scriptures is going to fall into your spirit, and you will know that you have it. The moment that scripture falls into your spirit, you have a certainty inside, you will have what you say! Yongi Chow calls it ‘belly faith’.
You can’t just sit down somewhere and think that you will receive belly faith overnight. Only meditating on the word constantly will cause a knowing that you know, you know, that you will have what you say. In some cases, it has taken me months to generate faith in this way. Once the word has produced the God-kind of faith, nothing will or can stop you from having what you believe. Once the thing you hoped for is formed in your mind as a reality, it will most surely come because you do not doubt. The marriage has come to pass. You are now pleasing God! We were created to live by faith and bring glory to God in this way.
When it happened, you turned water into wine.
