Christians do you believe in miracles?

Question

My Pastors sister (Sister Patty) had a massive heart attack yesterday and not expected to live. This morning I got a call that she has no blood pressure and that she is on life support. The doctors said she is technically dead.

My Pastors wife told me they have her hooked to every machine possible and that Sis. Patty is not responding to anything.

Do you believe in miracles?
Will you pray for Sis. Patty?

Thanks to all. Continue praying.
May God bless your faith.

2 Kings 4
25So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
26Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:
27And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

30And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
34And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

Answer 2

You see a miracle everytime you look in the mirror, eat an orange, wave to another person, pick up a child, pet a dog, fly a kite, breathe the air. Religion cannot take the place of common sense and sound reason. Likewise neither can science and medicine. Our bodies were designed to quit someday. It has been this way for eons and will be this way for eons to come. Do not extend life where there is no end to suffering. To do so is cruel.

Answer 3

i will merely supply the Atheist view on why there is modern-day attractiveness of miracles and that i do no longer think that's what yu are finding for. i could think of that the attractiveness of miracles in maximum circumstances comes from the reported skills of Jesus in the Bible.

Answer 4

Answer 5

I do believe in miracles. There is also a time to die and move on to be with the Lord. I will pray, but remember there is a life beyond..do not despair.

Answer 6

Yes, I beleive in miracles, and yes I'll have her in my prayers.

Just remember that the great miracle of Christ overcoming death already happened - so whether she lives again in the immediate future or in the more distant future with the ressurection, it will happen. That miracle is guaranteed...it's just a matter of timing.

Answer 7

Absolutely! Here is my story:

Okay, I'm a 13 y/o boy and I live in a pretty well off middle class suburb in Phoenix. I go to a good school and I have a pretty good group of friends. All my life I've been a Christian, but I didn't always act like one in school. For example, there was a girl in my PE class 2 years ago in 6th grade who came from a problem family. She got into a lot of trouble, bullied kids from a nearby elementary school, shoplifts, and vandalizes things. She is always being mean to people in class too. Whenever she said anything nasty to me, I would say something mean back. Even though she did a good job covering it up, I could tell that my words hurt her more than her words hurt me. I would feel a little guilty, but I still felt justified.

Then came summer 2006. Our youth group went on a 10-day mission to Mexico. I met a boy from a Denver church there, who was there for the same reason as I was. He is my age, and we became good friends. I loved that mission trip so much because it was so easy to make friends and everyone was just so loving and accepting towards each other, even though we had only been together for 10 days.

Anyways, about this boy, I never noticed anything particular about him. He was an awesome person, and we could take to each other about anything, so I assumed that he was like me, growing up with Jesus sort of in the background. But I was way off on that assumption.

One night we had a little heart to heart discussion. He poured out to me his life's story. He used to be an atheist before the trip. He grew up in a problem family, and had bad friends who were always getting in trouble, and he often tried to avoid them but only succeeded sometimes. None of his family is Christian, and his church only has 8 people. He told me all about the car accidents, drug dealers, juvenile delinquents, suicides, and teen pregnancies he had seen in his life. Then he told me, "I really don't want to go back home. I have no real friends there. I don't see why God would show me a place where people can love each other in peace, and then only let me keep it for 10 days." I almost cried when I heard that.

When the mission was over, we hugged and said good bye, and I promised to keep in touch with everyone in that group. About 2 weeks later, I heard that this boy had lost his faith because his friends were giving him a hard time. I prayed really hard for 3 days, and then I received an email from him. He told me that he had burned his bible out of anger, and then regretted it and prayed. The next morning, his bible was back in one piece.

A couple months later, he told me that he had started to lose his faith again, but miraculously got it back. He had almost been killed by a paint ball shot 3 feet from his head. A loud voice in his head yelled out "Duck!" and he did. The paintball was shot before he ducked, but he was untouched.

These are the most amazing things that God has done to anyone I know.

It's the perfect friendship. God put us together because he needed to be loved, and I needed to learn how to love.

Apparently innocence is always destroyable by hate, but always redeemable by love. This boy I made friends with was similar to the girl in my PE class before he met Jesus. I wondered how different she would be too, if she had gotten a 2nd chance. I tried that out by inviting her to sit with my friends during lunch, and it's starting to work.

Answer 8

I believe in them 100 %. Everyone shall pray for.

Answer 9

Yes and Yes, God's will be done.

Answer 10

No, it's time to quit the pitiful pretense and lit her go. Dead is dead pumping blood through her veins does not keep her alive.
