I am looking for miracles. Things that cannot be explained by natural order. Have you had one? Want to share?

Answer 1

Yes I did. Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Answer 2

When I was 30, I'd been a smoker 10 years, been a Christian the last 3 of those. I'd tried every year at least once to quit smoking - months with each of my two pregnancies, and on National Smoke Out Day in November. The craving never left. July of 92 I saw what the new truck payment was going to be, and told the Lord I couldn't afford to, and couldn't quit smoking. He instantly took away the craving and I never had another want-to or after-effect and felt like a non-smoker! and lived with my smoking husband as such! What is impossible with man is possible with God. With God! I do believe our enemy, the devil, will perform signs and wonders and miracles if he can keep someone from believing in Jesus.

Answer 3

I originally was going to refer you to the 28th recognized cure at Lourdes, a youngster named LaVoye, and there are others as someone has pointed out before me, but consider this instead, also an idea suggested by someone else. The image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on a serape made of cactus fiber. Cactus fiber normally cannot last as long as this serape has lasted. A curiosity that, perhaps no one would consider it a miracle, and I will not advance it as one, though it in itself may be. Instead, consider the image. Juan Diego had wrapped roses (growing on a snow covered hill in Mexico, in winter, also a curiosity; again one I will not advance as a miracle, though it may well be) into the serape (I think the technical word is "tilma") and when he opened the tilma to show the bishop the roses (the bishop had asked for a sign of authenticity for the message Diego had delivered to him previously) they fell at the bishops feet. However, the bishops gaze did not follow the roses. Instead his eyes were riveted on the image of a lady in blue on the inside of the tilma. The image was so detailed that the lady's eyes, pupils and all could be discerned. I have read that if you examine the image very carefully, the image of the pupils of her eyes reflect the scene in the room when Juan Diego opened the tilma; the bishop and his attendants can be seen in the image of the pupil. That image is likely a miracle all by itself. Hopefully, someone will post an assertion that the appearance of the bishop in the image of the pupils of the lady is just a pious legend. Then, I would have one less miracle to have to accept; but just one. The resurrection of Jesus will always remain. If the followers of Jesus stole the body, why wasn't the Sanhedrin able to prove that. Their own guards claimed it was so. The Sanhedrin probably could have tortured anyone of the disciples they chose and force him to tell where they had hidden the body. But there i nothing anywhere in any writing that makes such a claim, as far as I know. Do you know of such? What if it turns out that Jesus actually is the Son of God and that all of the Christian belief system is truth? Where will that leave you? Is the satisfaction you get from your animosity and doubt worth the gamble you are taking?

Answer 4

I was diagnosed with Pelvic Inflammatory Disorder, which causes polyps to develop on the ovaries. Makes having babies hard. In addition, I suffered from some other conditions which made 8 doctors in 10 years of trying to get pregnant say it simply wasn't going to happen, not even if they did an invitro on me.

So I left it in God's hands, accepted it after 15 years of trying, and decided to just live my life as best I could, and never know motherhood. Just sort of gave it up, along with a lot of my spirit.

One year later, at the age of 38, I became pregnant. They told me I wouldn't carry it full term, but not only did I carry her to term, she came out perfect ... she is now a beautiful intelligent 4 year old ... then to make sure that I knew He loved me, God gave me a second girl 18 months later. Both of my girls are true miracles.

Answer 5

As briefly as I can.
My wife and I have been married for 33 years.
We are both 55.
We were unable to have children.
About 6 years ago while preaching I suddenly got the strangest feeling. I stopped, looked at my wife, shook it off and continued.
But again that same feeling came over me, once again I looked at my wife, shook it off and continued.
But again it came over me, filling my soul my mind and body.
I tried to shake it off put the Senior Pastor ask what was wrong.
After a little prodding on his part I shared it with the entire congregation.
My wife and I were going to have a family.
Several weeks later a young girl, now 33, came into our lives.
Before long my wife and I realized that we loved this young girl like a daughter.
Then one day she called me DAD and broke down crying.
We now have a daughter and five of the best Grand kids anyone could want.
There are those that may laugh but we know that it was an act of GOD.

Answer 7

After my divorce and my estrangement from my son, I was working as a preassessment nurse which meant I called people to get their medical history. One morning I called this woman who I had never met or spoken to, and said "Good morning, Mrs. whatever, my name is Anna and I'm from" before I could finish she yelled out "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE ANNA?" I told her yes and she went on to say that while she had been praying that morning God told her that she would speak with a woman named Anna and that she should tell this Anna that everything would work out. That God was with her and knew what she was going through. And that while it would be rough for awhile it would work out all right. I couldn't even finish the interview and just sat there stunned for a long time. Whenever I doubt God is there, I remember that.

Answer 8

Hi lucy, I have a testimony for you.

I have been to church all my life, i have been in Sunday school and at church camp etc. I was a good Kid and I thought that when I died I would simply go to heaven because I was a good person. ten came the shock of a life time. I looked into Gods law (Ten Commandments) and I came to realize How I have sinned and broken God's Law. I had lied, stolen, looked with lust, used Gods name in vain Etc. then i realized that The Bible says if we have sinned and broken Gods Law and he gives us Justice we will end up in hell. Jesus Christ came and suffered and died on the cross for our sins. I repented (turned from sin) and put my faith and trust in Jesus, and God saved me. I have the assurance of eternal life forever. my heart was changed and I was made a new creature in Christ. that's truly a Miracle unexplained by natural order.

Answer 9

I was thrown off of a motorcylce at 40 m.p.h.. The bike hit a hole in the street and went way up in the air. I landed about 70 to 80 feet and came to behind a parked car. My left foot had been dragged backward's and I couldn't walk on it. The next morning, I hobbled down to BIBLE Study at a friend's house befor work. There were four of us and after BIBLE Study, I asked them to Pray for me. My foot got very warm, I stood up and touched the floor with it, no pain. GOD instantly HEALED my ankle, and I went on to work and didn't miss a day. MY JOB? Pick-up limbs and bag's of leave's on the street, getting in and out of a flat-bed truck (dual-wheel) maby a hundred or more time's a day. Thanky-JESUS. Ditto.

Answer 10

A miracle = a “shift in perception”. That means that it is a miracle (perhaps the central miracle of our conscious existence) that we are able to change our mind ….we are able to “forgive & forget”. If we don’t think we are able to change our mind then maybe we don’t have one. Forget = “selective remembering”. We can choose WHAT to remember so that we may bring ourselves a measure of peace. Peace = cessation of turmoil. We do not have to “chew the cud” of making ourselves remember every detail of every transaction every minute of every day. We can simply choose to shift our perception. (Finally: some or all of this comes from A Course in Miracles) Best of luck!!!!
