Answer 1

A few years ago,I placed myself in a very dangerous position.For certain reasons I am not going to reveal where this happened,but I can assure you I had a very strong chance of not being alive the next morning.My car had broken down in this place and I was absolutely terrified.I was not praying,but out loud I said 'please God,If ever I needed your help it's now.Instantly a car pulled up and a Priest stepped out,he said are you in trouble.I said yes father .He said,is it because of where you are that you are so frightened.He then said to worry no further because before he was a priest,he was a mechanic.He fixed my car on the spot and escorted me to a safer area.I know that God intervened through that priest because it was at 1 o clock in the morning and the chances of getting a priest there at that time was zero never mind one who was also a mechanic.

Answer 2

I went to a number of pentecostal churches in my teens and early 20s. The services frequently resembled revival meetings, with lots of screaming, and shouting, and people being 'slain in the spirit.' One thing I saw time and time again was when an evangelist would 'heal' someone of having one leg shorter than the other. I thought it was amazing: someone would sit in a chair with one leg obviously shorter than the other. Then the evangelist/minister/visiting healer would pray and shout and pull on the 'shorter' leg. It would grow! It would lengthen! The person would get up and dance around, God be Praised!
Well. One time a 'healer' pointed me out in a crowd and said that God had a 'word of knowledge' about me. Apparently God was telling him that one of my legs was shorter than the other. I had never had any problems with slanting as I walked, or listing to one side. I told the minister this, and he told me that I should not question something that came from his 'gift of the spirit.' He then put me in a chair, and positioned me in such a way that my hips were uneven. It made my left leg look like it was a good 3 inches shorter than my right. The minister shouted praise and hallelujah, that I was just now noticing this 'defect.' I tried to sit normally, but he wouldn't let me. He then proceeded to 'heal' me, by pulling on my leg so it 'lengthened.' The organ music swelled and I was told to get up and rejoice. I walked back to my seat in the pews thinking, "Okay, I shouldn't criticize what just happened because that would be grieving the Holy Spirit... but... that was completely bogus..."

Another service I remember a 'miracle.' A woman stood up and announced that she was going grocery shopping that day. The Lord 'told' her to go to another grocery store, one that she never visited. And, lo and behold: THEY HAD A SALE ON HAMBURGER!!! The organ music swelled, people shouted Praise Jesus! I could not believe my ears. A sale on hamburger is a miracle? I wondered how this woman could get through reading the circulars that accompanied her newspaper every day, since obviously these were just one 'miracle' after another.

I have heard that people have experienced spontaneous healing. But the scientific articles I have read have attributed these healings to a belief in the power of healing, not the object of that which was invoked to heal. That is to say, if someone really, truly believes that a crystal can heal them of a sore throat, there is an equal chance that the crystal will work as a prayer to Jesus.

The power of miracles is not who you address when you pray. The power is in what you believe, and how fervently.

Answer 3

life itself is a miracle. I'm a nurse and to know how the human body is constructed-how can one not believe in Miracles.?I'm alive today because of a miracle from God. I came very close to dying several years ago, and my blood count went to high, enormously high, and over night I prayed to God seriously,people all over the eastern seaboard was praying for me, just like that it went back to normal-even the doctors were astonished. They could not believe it. They even admitted there must be a God! That is why I decided to become a nurse. I wanted to try and give back a small portion of the love that was shown to me, not to mention the love that God showed me, and of course his MIRACLES!!!

Answer 4

I was saved from two suicide attempts, alcoholism and depression by my Creator. Of course He didn't say Hi it was me but they were all hopeless situations where there was no way out.
I took potassium cyanide on one occasion and nobody survives that but God saved me. No other power could have. Today I have two lovely children-a boy aged 21 getting married in April and a girl aged 18 goung to university. Sometimes we are carried-one set of footprints in the sand. May God bless you too.
I would just like to add here that I had a similar experience to Don H. I was in bed about 11am and all of a sudden this peaceful sensation washed over me and my mind suddenly felt it was connected to a vast computer spilling out endless information. It just went on and on. Very complex ideas just kept passing through my mind. It was an amazing experience but hasn't happened since. i wish it would.

Answer 5

I'm not sure what you would consider a miracle but this sure seemed like one to me.

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 is 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.

`Miracles` at Lourdes have been recorded, they occur at the same rate as natural regression and in the same numbers as Roman, Greek ,`Pagan` miracles. ALL miracles can be explained in natural terms.
