Has anyone actually had God perform a miracle for you?

Answer 1

Not me personally, but I've seen someone elses. At least I believe it was a miracle.

The minister of the small country church that my family attends began cancelling several sermons. He had a terrible sore throat and was losing his voice. After a month of this, he was diagnosed with a particular type of esophagial cancer which targets the vocal cords. It was malignant and very, very slow; eventually he would lose his voice completely and it would a long drawn-out process. There was nothing to be done except to try and keep the cancer from spreading. It seemed his days as a minister were over.

He continued and tried to give sermons over the next two years. His voice was very weak and coarse. He wore a special microphone to help amplify his voice. (This was an extremely small country church; there was no need for a sound system before.) He felt that he should deliver God's message as long as he was able.

During a revival (probably to be his last) he began a sermon about faith. Faith that can move mountains. Trust in the Lord. You know the kind. The kind that cures the ill.

And on the word faith, in mid-sentence, his voiced cracked.

Suddenly there was a loud booming in the church as his voice, now as strong and clear as three years previously, strained the microphone and sound system designed to amplify faint sounds. He began crying, reached down and turned off the microphone. His voice was back, better than ever.

The doctors could find no trace of cancer or damage to his vocal cords. He continues to preach to this day (although for a different congregation).

True story. Saw it myself.

Answer 2

Whatever responses you get about miracles being wrought in this day and age will be the products of imaginative and religiously delusional minds. Some Christians will swear that they have seen miracles, but dollars to donuts the "miracles" will be of such PETTY natures ("I prayed over my terminally ill mother's bedside and God healed her") compared to raising the dead, walking on water, turning water into wine, resurrection of the mortal body, virgin birth, yada yada. Whatever happened to those stupendous events that defied nature? They ceased with the publication of the final versions of the three monotheistic holy books. Extraordinary claims (like miracles) require extraordinary proof. There has never been - and there is none now - any empirical evidence of supernatural occurrences outside of the holy books, and those miracle stories in these holy books are of such highly dubious origins that a reasonable response is to disbelieve the whole lot of them. Edit: You really expect anyone to believe your tornado story? You put yourself up as superior to all other humans because in your delusion you can control nature? There's something very wrong with you, dude. Why don't you sell yourself to a TV network and show how you can perform acts that completely defy nature? That should be a hoot.

Answer 3

I have experienced many of his Miracles.

How many women have had the power to fight off two men on an attempted rape? I have. And I'm not a superhero.

After praying in six months I lost 100 pounds, was healed of diabetes and many other illnesses brought on by my size. I wasn't even trying to loose the weight, just praying about it.

I was married to an abusive man who repeatedly tried to kill me and yet somehow survived to escape him.

I was hit by an F150 and survived with nothing but a couple of bruises.

I flipped my car wearing no seatbelt and didn't have a bruise. The Axel was broken and the car destroyed, but I was perfectly fine.

My bedroom caught fire while I was sleeping and somehow I woke up and escaped. "THATS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE POSSIBLE!"

All of this and more. I'M NOT A SUPER HERO SO WITHOUT GOD HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE? IT WASN'T!

Answer 4

Yes - when I was 11 years I had been sexually abused by an older guy - which caused emotional damage - and through a minister it was revealed and God healed me on the inside - where all a psychiatrist can do is prescribe medicine and listen to you talk about it. It may not be a physical manifestation but I know how it feels in my soul to be free of that junk.

Answer 5

Sure.

I was house-sitting for a relative who had shown me a book she bought on my last visit. Between the two visits, she misplaced the book. She'd been tearing through the house for two weeks looking for the book. I simply sat in the living room and asked God to lead me to the book. I had it in my hand in 5 minutes.

I had a clutter habit that had been plaguing me since childhood. I read all kinds of books and got all kinds of advice about how to get my home in order, but nothing happened. Then I started praying about it and finally significant progress was made. When I stopped praying, the bad habit came back. I'm praying again.

A co-worker had misplaced his keys after coming into the office. He spent 15 minutes looking for them and still couldn't find them. I asked God where they were and went directly to them.

There have also been times of extreme stress or pain, when I was driven to my knees and God replaced the extreme stress with extreme joy.

Answer 6

Some of my prayers have been answered, some have not been. I've never asked for a miracle nor have I witnessed one. That does not say that one did not occur in my presence. It only says I may have been too thick to recognize it for what it was.

Answer 7

I don't believe in God performing miracles for me. There's nothing I can't do in this plane of existence that He can't do.

Answer 8

Yes. I had two healthy baby girls and I'm still alive. Other than that, I pray for protection from the evils of the world, and nothing bad happens. Is that "miracle" enough for ya? I don't think God has to prove herself to me.

Answer 9

God performed a miracle for me, when He forgave me of all my sins when I accepted His Son Jesus as my savior. At the same time the same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead came to live inside me. It is a miracle anytime a person repents of their sins accepts Jesus as their savior and changes their life from self-centered to Christ-centered. It is against everything our society teaches us.

Answer 10

Well, I have seen the blind be healed etc. But really, we perform our own miracles. It is us that has the power of God, because we are God. This is it. All of us and everything around us makes up the body of God.

It is your belief in yourself, your enlightenment and your faith in the science that your thought is the energy that controls every subatomic particle.
