Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You mean like something supernatural? I have never witnessed anything like that. The only thing I can think of is when I was a baby, I was born blind due to congenital glaucoma, but started developing sight at around 8 months. I don't think this is a miracle per se, because I was getting lots of surgeries and medications.

Another time was when I was 11 and had another eye surgery, this time to remove a cataract. Five days after going home, I returned to the hospital in intense pain. The Dr scheduled me for another surgery for the next day. What happened was that the pressure in my right eye had skyrocketed up to 60 (normal for me is 16 - 17). The pain was INCREDIBLE!!! It was so bad, I was vomiting. When my stomach was empty, I had dry heaves. Even a shot for pain did nothing. There was intense pain whether I was awake or asleep, and any touching hurt A LOT. I took meds but it did no good, the pain prevailed.

After being admitted to the hospital again, the chaplain came into my room, placed his hands on my head (owwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!), and prayed for healing. The next day I was fine, eye pressure was down to normal. BOY, WHAT A RELIEF!!!!!!!!!!!! WHEW!!!!!!!!!!! I was kept a few days under observation, then was discharged.

No Dr had ever explained why I had a surge in eye pressure, only to be followed by a sudden release. God surely was at hand.

Answer 3

The miracle of modern medicine that saved the life of my daughter and my now 1 month old granddaughter.
My daughter had to have an emergency C-section because my granddaughter had tied her umbilical cord into two knots (something the doctors had never seen before) and her heart rate was flatlining. My daughter's body instinctively knew something was wrong and she had stopped dilating.
If we'd been living in a time before the advent of the Caesarian section procedure, I'd have lost both of them.
That, is a miracle.

Answer 4

The breakdown, and fall, of the mighty Soviet Empire and the decline and fall of Hitler's "Thousand Year Reich" after it had risen to apparent mastery in Europe. God works miracles through natural means (the order of the universe) and one of the most effective is the natural working of the arrogance of rulers who think that they can beat the House by gambling against the House in the casino of life. The fact that there is almost always a non-miraculous explanation to these things (e.g., Hitler attacked the Russians and also chose to declare war against the U.S. — Dec. 11, 1941 in support of the Japanese) doesn't explain the fact that he was stupid enough to do these things. The degree and prevalence of arrogant stupidity is either pure chance or is a miracle. I choose to regard this pattern as a miracle. And there is a full range of measures, big and small, that occur every day that one can regard as miraculous or as pure chance, depending on one's perspective. The fact that one cannot prove things definitely (scientific proof is generally statistical proof, but as Einstein said with regard to the quantum theory, it is statistically true, but is it truly true?)

Answer 5

Our daughter had a life threatening surgery that need to to be operated on immediately....it was located in her throat and this was blocking her airway.....Ten minutes into surgery..the plastic surgeon and her ENT doctor came into the room and asked us who has been praying for her...I looked at him puzzled and with my heart at my feet because I wanted to know what in the heck was going on......he explain to us when they went in to prep her for surgery, the hose thingies that they used to help suck some of the blood and extra tissue from her throat helped with this bubble lympangioma in her throat. It was totally gone!!!!!!!!! As fast as this thing grew in her throat(2 days) it was gone....JUST LIKE THAT.............I still to this day have no explanation of this occurrence and why in the world shouldn't my baby be gone....We had so many CAT scans done to make sure this wasn't some crazy cancerous thing either. She was 4 months old at the time and was looking at a 4 inch scar on her neck and a tracheostomy was to be put in as well. She is the healthiest 3 year old!!!! And no surgery was ever performed. This was a miracle no doubt;)
