I know how you feel because I want God to guide and direct my life in that kind of immediate way, too. Our greatest desire to is bring His hope and healing to this needy world. That desire is admirable, but it has it's pitfalls. We can be diverted from the real relationship with God into a place of magic thinking or a kind of Christian voodoo. Think of the purpose of magic.
Magic seeks to alter the normal, to change reality.
True, modern magicians are illusionists. They only appear to do things that are supernatural by tricking our senses. We trade off the real and lasting work of the Almighty God for some cheap tricks, for some smooth psychological techniques. We are willing to deceive ourselves and others with a mere illusion in place of a real, life-changing experience of God's power. This is seeking power without relationship.
