I live in the supernatural grace of God every day. I walk in faith and love and and the providence of God. If God withdrew His Holy Spirit and lovingkindness from my life I would self-destruct in seconds. I experience the intimacy of His Presence in worship. The kindness, patience, humility and generosity that are demonstrated habitually through my life don't arise from anything that resides in me other than the power of God.
I live in love, therefore I live in God, and He lives in me.
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."
I John 4:7-16

Not knowingly. That is, now not one who I can run up the flagpole and claim an irrefutable miracle centered on empirical proof. I've certainly not noticeable plenty of matters, however that does not by any means imply that the ones matters which I have now not witnessed didn't or don't particularly occur. C.S. Lewis discusses this in a few intensity in his e-book titled, "Miracles." I totally advocate this e-book, however will be aware that it's not for the informal reader (comprises a few alternatively significant phrases and ideas and can take a while for so much readers). But when you consider that you appear so knowledgelably approximately what Christians believe of miracles, I'm close to precise you have got learn it a couple of times. You say that notion and next delivery isn't a supernatural occasion? Lewis disagrees with you on that. That there may be existence in any respect has now not been appropriately defined through any technology, and technology, as Lewis very readily facets out, has now not been ready to disprove the probability of miracles, nor can it ever due to the fact technology need to most effective manage nature, and certainly not amazing-nature. You would additionally determine out this essay. "The Grand Miracle" from Lewis's "God within the Dock." He says, "The Christian tale is accurately the tale of 1 grand miracle, the Christian statement that what's past all area and time, what's uncreated, everlasting, got here into nature, into human nature, descended into His possess universe, and rose once more, bringing nature as much as Him. It is accurately one nice miracle."

When I pray for things, if they are things that God can bless, he does! Like when my Christian radio station is needing pledges, and when I pray about family or friends who are acting like Satan likes people to act, I see them slowly over time moving away from the evil and some start to talk about Jesus more. I have had a wonderful experience in Church with my arms raised in the air, singing, totally focused on Jesus, when the light in the room became warmer and brighter, my eyes were closed until that happened and I was surprised and opened them. This happens when I'm really focused on God and worshipping, but it's there all the time a little bit, the presence of God in my life, being true and keeping me at one with all of the universe in that it's all His and we're all His and His will will be done so I don't have to control the world...just live in His truth. He is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus is beautiful!

I was the recipient of my very own little miracle. I used to be a bank teller. I hated the job and despite my best efforts, I wasnt that good at it either. Every day at closing time, each teller has to count the cash in his or her "Can." It is supposed to match with what your computer says you have. If you are not in agreement, your in trouble. Especially in large ammounts.
I had been having a difficult month with customers, my can AND my wicked menopausal bosses. This particular day I was counting the money and ended up $50 short. I counted repeatedly and for the life of me could not figure out where it went. I was very familar with my own can and knew that everything appeared to be in order. As required, my boss had to come over and count my can since I was out of balance by so much. She was not happy with me. She did not find the money either, closed my can for the day and we all went home. During the night, all paperwork from the days transactions gets processed and compared against the computer. Often cash or other errors are found and corrected with a note to that effect comming in the next morning I was not so luckey.
Well for some reason one of my other supervisors (the nice one) took pity on me and decided to re-count my can one more time. To my shock.. it balanced. I watched her count all my paper money and looked at the $50 roll of coins that had been there all this time and knew that once she included that, my can will have come out to perfect balance from the previous day. My bands, bundles and rolls of coin looked were exactly as they had been the previous night. Yet somehow it now added to $50 more. I have no doubt that God saw fit to somehow fix this for me. I KNEW what was in my cash drawer and that $50 was NOT there the night before. No one has access to another teller's can, and no one put that money there. But this miracle saved me much agony, heache, chewing out.. and possible saved my job.
So that is my little story. Hope you enjoyed it.

the real happiness, it is truly an supernatural feelings!
lot of people think having money and all the wealth in this system, fun w/ friends, nice and good jobs can make them real happy but the truth is serving of the true God and trying to follow his councel and the Christ what ever circumtances, even if you dont have anything in life can make you truly happy and secured in life!
not trying to be holy.... Ive done lot of things too as mentioned above and found out emptyness and lonelyness inside then realized that serving and knowing the true God(Jehovah) gives true meaning in life.

Back in the 1970's I spoke in tongues, had visions and dreams and seen many things that Christians today claim is from God, but I have had these same things as a pagan.
My advise is to just read the bible as if it says what it means and means what it says. Trust the bible more than your supernatural experiences. Paul warned the corinthian church about speaking in tongues that it was possible they were cursing God instead of blessing God.
This is a danger anytime the supernatural takes place of scriture.

My relationship with God is built on what I know about him from the Bible, not on the basis of experiences. My experiences are irrelevant from the standpoint of what it teaches me about God or about life.
Experiences can be deceptive, where knowledge is true. Am I being blessed financially by God or is Satan tempting me to stray from God by making me wealthy? Is God making it possible for me to get a new job or is Satan trying to pull me away from where God wants me to be? If all we have is the experience, we can't make those decisions, and we're bound to learn the wrong lessons from the ones we do make.

Not sure what you're looking for here but I was riding behind a pickup truck one night that was carrying a chest of drawers on top of some other furniture. The chest of drawers was laid flat on it's back & tied down. Suddenly the chest flew up of it's back & toward my windshield & all I could say was "Jesus help us!" You would have had to seen what happened to truly appreciate it but the chest of drawers stopped in mid-air & was laid gently back down into it's former position. I got chills all over me just as I have now remembering that night that the hand of God saved me & my children from certain death. To those who say miracles don't happen anymore....I wish you could have been with me that night in my car. There is NO OTHER explanation.
