Have you ever experienced a miracle?

Question

Do you have any experiences or personal story to share where a miracle when you kept praying to God for something?

Answer 1

Yes. The conversion of my husband (then boyfriend) to the Catholic Church. He was a Protestant Calvinist and had many doubts but had a hard time leaving it behind because of prejudices and misunderstandings about Catholicism.

We talked alot and read books, etc.....but nothing changed.

I prayed every day for nearly 5 years.....and then after doing a special novena to St. Jude, one night he called and said the light had finally come on. The Holy Spirit had given him the faith and understanding he needed.

He was received into the Catholic Church our first year of marriage.

He is so happy now to be in the true faith of our fathers - the biblical and historical Church.

Pax Vobiscum+

Answer 2

Yes, I have had miracles happen, but not really the kind of "against all odds" miracles, more like the "I prayed for a long time and got it!" miracles.

Experiencing love for the first time seemed like the most precious gift God has ever given me! I feel really bad for breaking it though. I had prayed for so long to experience it, but since I'm on my own now, I have other things to pray for like better grades because my studying time kind of slipped while I was so in-love-for-the-first-time, lol.

After having zero friends for a long time because I was very shy, God finally put me in a place where I met many girls around my age (I'm homeschooled, and I see many people quite often, just never enough to form a connection with them because I would not see them every single day). Later on I met new people and became more outgoing with them, and my boyfriend, since he was EXTREMELY *waves arms* outgoing, taught me how to be outgoing too. Now I take interests in the human mind and how it works.

I have experienced other times where God has answered a prayer, but I can not think of any more than those two experiences at the moment, lol.

Answer 3

More than a dozen time just this past week. These coincidental answers to my simple prayers.. almost like God saying "Hey, Don't worry about it. I'm taking care of you!" It gives me chills lately.

One example:
At church on Sunday, as always, I was praying for God to speak to me during the sermon, to let me know what to do, or for a special message. Recently, I've felt like I really need to pray for a certain friend of mine, who is having a hard time, with suicide attempts, and who is now an "atheist." Even though she has never experienced God, so I don't understand how she can lose hope in something she knows nothing about. Anyway, I had a feeling, like I was supposed to pray for her. So, during the service at church, I started praying, asking God what to do, or how to help. What to tell her. After talking to my friend, I was almost kind of depressed my self, and having doubts in my God also. But as soon as I finished praying, I tune back into the song that was being sung by the choir, and what do you know! The exact words being sung were "Jesus is real! Jesus is real!" At that very moment, I just had that overwhelming feeling, an adrenaline rush, like a big, warm hug, and I knew that God was with me at that moment, comforting me.

Another one that just blew me away happened a few weeks ago. I was at church with the children's minister, talking about a new program that will bring children across the community to church, for activities/Bible School type stuff. We were looking through the budgets, and saw that the church didn't have enough money in the funds for this new program, and sadly, we would have to cancel. We would need more than 4000 dollars to completely be prepared for everything we had wanted to plan. Disappointed, knowing that this would have been the perfect opportunity to bring hundreds of children closer to God, we cancelled the program. Two days later, I, again was with the minister talking. This man we didn't even know came up to us, and handed us a check for exactly $4000. He says "I prayed last night, asking what God needed me to do with my bonus I received from my job. I dreamed that I needed to bring it here to you."
So, he hands the children's minister the check, says "God Bless," and walks away.
No one had known the money situation except her, and myself.
We were so in awe, we prayed, thanking God.
It's just a God thing, incapable of being explained.

That's just two. There are so many more, but I can't explain them properly. They're just those kinds of things that can't be explained, unless you've experienced it as well.

Answer 4

Barbie,
YOU have gorgeous hair young lady. If you ever decide to cut it I could really use some of it! In high school I had a near-death experience and ended up in a coma for a short time. I had quite an experience and decided that I should begin looking for GOD. I spent the better part of six years and then my wife and I had a Bible study with an older couple. We were baptized and have been faithful to GOD from that time on. We have been members of the LORD'S CHURCH for the last twenty years and have read, studied, and obeyed HIS WORD since that time. Have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family.
Thanks,
Eds

Answer 5

Yes, one morning while my husband was getting ready for work, he colapsed on the bathroom floor. After a lot of nagging I finally talked him into going to the hospital. When we arrived, they checked him over and performed an ultrasound. To make a long story short, it was discovered that he had a tumor. My first thoughts were, what am I going to do, we had five small children at the time. They scheduled him for surgery the next day and removed the tumor. I thought everything was going to be fine at that point, but after they performed a biopsy on the tumor they discovered three different types of cancer that were very very aggressive types. They then sheduled him for a cat scan. After the cat scan we received more bad news. The cancer had spread to his lymp nodes, he would need a complete lymp node disection. The doctor told us that at least three of his lymp nodes were definately full of the cancer. The night before his surgery, we went to church. The pastor asked if anyone wanted prayer for anything. My husband went forward. Another man in our church (Who did not know anything about what the doctors had told us) put his hand on my husbands back and prayed. After church he came and told my husband that the wierdest thing had happened when he prayed for him. He said that he felt three jolts hit his hand when he prayed. My husband went into surgery and afterwards the doctor came and talked to me. He said that when they pulled the lymp nodes out that they were just as pink, and healthy as they should be. They sent them in to be tested for cancer and came back completely normal. My husband never went in for chemo or radiation. He was given a miracle!! I remember when I found out that my husband had cancer I was really scared. I went to get into my vehicle and a song was playing, it was called He's the only reason I live, and Oh what a reason!! it's by Lauren Talley, it's got a wonderful message in it!!

Answer 6

I have been praying for years for healing and on January 15, 2007 I had a dream about Jesus and woke up healed. I was still experiencing fatigue even after that and a couple of months ago I was healed of that during church service. I have had alot of different miracles in my life, too many to mention them all!

Answer 7

Just yesterday he caught me when I was about to fall backward down some stairs. I remember one time I was out of the job for 40 days wth nothing saved up and put away. He sustained me that month. I remember him miraculously providing dinner for me one night and gas money another. There have been a few times I believe. I'm sure some have even gone unnoticed. The most miraculous thing I have experienced, though, is my salvation.

Answer 8

I have expeinced a Miracle i don't tell people cuz no one will beleive it and i kinda feel like It's something God did for me but not for my testimony but i can say Miracles DO HAPPEN

Answer 9

I was told I'd be dead in a month. That was 25 years ago. Those christians said it's a miracle I survived all through the years because of their god answering their prayers for me.
Little did they know that it was a wrong diagnosis secret well kept. Miracles?...a lot of bull.
