We have a newborn boy in our church and last week his parents took him for testing as prompted by his doctor who heard a heart murmur. The tests showed a heart murmur. We prayed for the baby on Sunday morning believing for a miracle. His parents took him to the cardiologist on yesterday (monday). After his exam he said to the parents "Do y'all believe in miracles? Well it shows on the test, but I don't hear anything. There is no heart murmur!"

I most certainly believe in miracles. I have witness many.
One somewhat like yours. My daughter when she came though the birth canal pull both legs from the sockets. she was in braces and they said she would have to wear them for a least 5 years. She was so unhappy and so was I. I cryed most every day for a month. My husband came home from work one day and I was crying and so was our daughter. He told me it was time to take her to a new doctor, the Great Physician. We cared her in and layed her on the bed , he anointed her with oil and we prayed. When we cared her back to the doctor the next day he was amazed, they could find nothing wrong. She is now 19 and going to have her own little miracle in August, Twins.

Yes.
I completely believe in miracles and have witnessed at least two of them. When I was 14, I nearly lost my eyesight to a genetic disease that came on quickly. I couldn't see for two weeks anything other than blurs and light and dark. When I went to an ophthalmologist, he tested the pressure in my eyes and asked what I could see. He was amazed because I should have been blinded already by the incredible pressure on my optic nerves. It was the most severe case he'd ever seen. Over time, my vision returned completely to 20/20.
A few years later, when I was 20, I learned that the condition and the treatment I had been through had caused glaucoma - a permanent condition for which there is no cure. Within months of the diagnosis, the glaucoma vanished even before it was treated.
I'm not sure why God saved my vision, and this is the first time I've shared this story like this. But I think that people should believe in miracles. Had I lost my sight, I wouldn't have been able to continue in my chosen field - Deaf education.
What's the second miracle?
My twin brother came home from Iraq. For this I am forever grateful to God.

Awesome! And yes, I do believe in miracles. Last summer I was bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider. It took 3 weeks plus meds to heal. Just a few weeks later, another Brown Recluse bite in the same area on my leg. This time I relied on God, didn't take any meds, and prayed and had friends and family pray also. In three days the bite was completely gone! God is soooo awesome!!!

I do believe in miracles, I depend on them to get by in life. I know that the God who worked miracles in Bible days still works them today. First He makes the planet, and all that is in it, then everytinme there is a major problem, He answers it with a miracle.
Examples? Moses at the Red Sea.. Samson's strength, water into wine.
Consider this: in Malachi He said I am the Lord I change not.
In Exodus 15:26 He said "I am the Lord who heals you." In Isaiah 53 We are told that it is Jesus stripes on His back that paid for our healing, In 1 Peter 2:24 this repeats, as well as Matthew 8:17.
The same God who healed in Moses days, led the Israelites out of Egypt, and all of them were well, and the Bible says none of them were feeble, is still heling today.

Yes - I believe in miracles! I think anyone who doesn't is just
fooling himself.
I am a Christian - anything we ask Him to do in His name He
will do - I prayed for a lady who had a growth on her hand -
In the name of Jesus I prayed for it to leave - within 5 minutes
her hand was smooth and she was rejoicing in the Lord!
God uses others to do His work sometimes, when we pray
believing He will answer & do what He said He would do.
Yes! there are miracles today!

Last July a friend I had met in college called me and asked if I could have my church to pray for her mother who had been diagnosed with cancer in all three lobes of her right lung. Her doctors told her that there was no point in even treating treating her illness was so for advanced. Long story made short we prayed for her, and six weeks later her doctors could find no cancer in her body and she is still cancer free today. Our God is still in the miracle business.

i believe in miracles, they happen every day.
at my church, friends know a woman who had a baby 4 months early (dead serious, no lie) and it is still living. it is under developed, but from what i heard, still healthy, but under watch. but its not all big miracles, there are small ones too. just the fact that we can wake up every morning and live a normal life is a miracle sometimes.

So, what you are saying is that it is easier to believe in miracles than it is to believe that doctors make mistakes? You really trust doctors, don't you?
If you ask, "Do you believe there are things that happen that you will never track down the reason for?"- if you ask that, I would say, "Yes."
But I don't usually call them miracles. What I call them is 'things that happen that I can't track down the reason for'.

Yes i do. When my sister was about 5 years old she used to like looking out from the valcony of our apartment which was on a third floor, but one they she leaned too far and she fell from the valcony and when may parents say this they went down the stairs as fast as they could, but when my father got to her and saw her his first thought was that she was dead but she really wasnt so they took her to the hospital and before going to the hospital my parents thought of taking the bible along (which they rarely do), when they got to the hospital my sister was still unconscious and had a lot of broken bones. While my parents where seated by her in the room they decided to open the bible and read the first thing that came you out, and when my father opened the bible the first thing that he saw was the passage in Acts 20:9:, which is about a boy who also falls from a third strey building, but find him to be alive. As soon as my dad finished reading that passage my sister woke up and she was perfectly fine, she still had all the broken bones but she could speak perfectly and she was ok.
isnt it amazing? and still people dont believe in miracles.
good luck and God bless.

No, I don't believe in miracles, or coicendences. All are just mathematical occurances that happen to fall in the same time area, either due to your thought input (also known as a prayer, but it is more of a "wave".) or just mathematically in place.
Weird, ain't I? :P
