I remember the day I saw a miracle happen before my eyes that confirmed God is real. It was the day a pastor asked me at age 10 and all the children stand up on the alter. Then the pastor told the praying church to watch Gods power fall over us. All of a sudden all of us children fell like domino's and the children in front of me fell on me. I couldn't get up! My legs tickled like when a person wakes up early in the morning, it made laugh. I remember the girl next to me, I told her to get up and she couldn't either she said it tickled her as well. We were all laughing, then the leaders came and picked us up.
Soooo how do you explain this not even science, this it was so real I promise to the lord.

You are fortunate to be part of this,some never ever see or hear of miracles.For some reason you were involved,probably so you could spread your testimony to others.I believe with all of my heart in Christ and the Holy Spirit.I feel his presence everyday around me and my family.

Sounds like a case of False Memory Syndrome. On the other hand, as someone else pointed out, children are very suggestible. Maybe your fear of your god and his practitioners made it happen. Or it's also possible he prearranged it with the child on the end, who fell first. Religious shills know no age limits. Also, the 'tingling" sensation in your legs could have been caused by compression of the sciatic nerve (which is located in your backside) when you fell to the floor. Either way, sorry, girlfriend, I'm not buying it for a second.

Was it really? I'm sure it happened just as you remember it, but maybe there was more to it. I believe in God and Jesus but I don't believe in miracles. I believe they happened back in the days of Moses and Jesus but not in to days world. Kids falling like domino's is not a Miracle, it is a magic trick or an illusion. Hypnotist can do the same thing and a magician like Chris Angel can do it as well. A miracle to me is resurrecting someone from the dead as Jesus did , and splitting the red sea in half as moses did.
I don't need magic tricks to know God is real, I just look around at all the beautiful things in nature and I know he is real...
I don't ask God to give me a miracle, instead guidance and strength so that I may make my own simple miracles in life.

There are many other explanations equally (if not more) plausible than yours, which is essentially "The big invisible man in the sky pushed us over". Take hypnotism for example. Ever been to a hypnotist show? They make people do all sorts of crazy things.
By the way, even without alternate explanations, anecdotes like this don't "prove" anything. They're just that: anecdotes. If YOU want to attach more significance on the event, fine. But just realize that this is only your own subjective choice.

No.
You are describing the syptoms of what doctors call "orthostatic hypo-tension". A very well known and documented phenomenon.
Oh, by the way.
Did you know that only the Vatican is allowed to decide if a specific event is miraculous or not ?
Just because you see or experience something that you do not understand does not qualify it as a miracle otherwise each time you see a Boeing 747 taking off it would be one....

wow, sounds cool....
i hear what the other say about hypnotizing and all that, and i don't say that it's not possible for someone to try and manipulate people in such a way, but what happened to me throws that theory out the window.
I was on a retreat with friends of mine, having a great time but not telling anyone that I was really struggeling with my relationship with the Lord. I had guiltfeelings that kept me from talking to him...and I just couldn't beat it.
Then one day, we were practising the crusifiction of the Lord (for a show...we were doing as part of the retreat) and the girl who played Mary couldn't be there, so they asked me if I could stand in for her. Nothing serious, I just had to stand there.
then as they started with the practice, it was like i was zapped by some amazing force, and my guild and sadness just ran out of me....Everybody looked at me like ...wow, she's really taking this rehearsal seriously...well, i pretended to be ok and walked to the
bathroom....
then the holy spirit came over me, if felt like my body was on fire...and the power was so amazing, I wondered if my body would be able to handle all the power surging through me. It was sorta ticklish, but awsome, and the most amazing was the way I could feel God coming close, telling me it was ok.
The thing is, I never knew the holy spirit could come over people like that. Six months later, some people where talking about God's power and myracles...and how the Holy spirit can come over them...and that the first time I ever heard of it. and the first time I understood what had happened to me!
But, ever since then God was closer...Doesn't feel so far away anymore, you know?

got another one you answered 21 questions
and supposed to only get 20 a day
so there you go again
but any way i feel some one could duplicate it with electricity and a metal floor ,but there you go i wasn't there , so that's just the doubting Thomas in me
its a weird sort of experience ,
it didn't seem so threatening ,
though to me feel it could be replicated i note by your works you have great belief and that is better than me using sarcasm just because i could see 'a' way for men to do it ,
i have my own proofs , not as spectacular as yours ,and it is great to know for a certainty
you had witnesses thus yours beats mine ,
i just threw in the first bit to be silly so don't take it as rebutting miracles ,.they [miracles are every day we just accept them as being somehow unique] but just living/life is amasing
the tingling of the legs seems weird but it certainly sounds strange ,and you have got good works
so bless you , a great witness.

So you were child then....? You have missed some details, things like you platform, surroundings and etc.... this is because you were a child then that you do not focus on what transpired that made it happen. But rather you focus that it is a miracle. Everything can be explained by science, but miracle can only explain what people don't want to believe is true... Perhaps an electrocution and psychological matter, that's what happened to you...

This sort of thing has happened in lots of different kinds of public situations, both religious and non religious.
Children, especially, are susceptible to the power of this sort of suggestion.
I call into question any pastor that feels God stoops to parlor tricks in order to convince people of God's existence.
The church I went to for a long time used to have 'healings.' I realized later on that most, if not all, of these, were completely fake. The rest 'worked' because people wanted them to.

"Then the pastor told the praying church to watch Gods power fall over us. "
you literally interpreted "gods power fall over" to mean "fall over" and you did.
Unless you think God spends time making people fall down. And compared to some of the stuff in the bible this seems like rather an inane miracle and certainly not worthy of capitalising the "M" in miracle.
