Have you ever witnessed a Miracle? I have, more than once. Post it here, if so. I'll start...

Hey Scrump Good thread. I decided to tell my own experience with a miracle and because it was so long I did it in another thread.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Thread: A Miracle

Good to see how you were able to cure yourself.
You should thank yourself and not god.


Milk thistle is known to do this, really no miracle here...

Did this happen in Augusta, Ga? Cuz I was in one of those land cruisers once when a guy ended up under our car on his motorcycle. Scared the crap out of me, but the guy was fine, just a few scratches, the bike needed some work and we took him home. Man, that's weird.

My miracle.

In 1986 I was a single parent dad living in Oregon. I was proud of my candy apple blue and corvette silver 57 Chevy; but not so proud that I remembered to fill it with gas when we left Eugene. On an undeveloped stretch of I-5, near Cottage Grove, I had to hitchhike to get gas with my 10 year old daughter. We got a ride from a school teacher from Glendale, OR (about 70 miles south) who took us 15 miles to Rice Hill to get gas.

At that time I was really on fire for God. I had just spent 5 months at YWAM in Salem and God was always blessing me in miraculous ways. So I was sharing with this teacher; he needed to hear what I had to say and he did.
This fellow was very enthusiastic and kept saying God put you here, God sent you to talk to me..... it was one of those Divine Appointments.

I'd had other appointments just as surely God but this one was different.

This Glendale teacher took us back north 15 miles and along the way rainbows started popping out everywhere. We got to a certain point where one big rainbow swept across the sky and just bent around and came right into the windshield of the car we were in! It was crazy. Everyone knows you can't get to the end of the rainbow right? Well I've been there!

In a few more minutes got the ole chevy going and parted ways.

The next week I had to take a friend... a project really.... to Eugene.
I of course started telling my friend this story about my really cool divine appointment the week before. When we got up above Rice Hill I was trying to pin point the spot where the rainbow sky to car trick happened. I was saying, Ok Ted... right about... right about... HERE. Micro-seconds after I said HERE there was beep beep over my left shoulder. (I didn't even know there was a car behind me.) I looked over and the driver of the car passing me was the Glendale School Teacher just grinning and waving!

That nite as I was laying in my bed praying I was asking God what was that?
What was he trying to tell me?
As I lay there quietly waiting on God I heard God's quiet voice,
"That was just for you John."

I saw myself through the eyes of the Lord Jesus.

Seeing my self through the eyes of Christ and the revelations that accompanied it was just the beginning of a wonderful life God had planned for me. That life is still unfolding almost 30 years later and was still very difficult until I reached about forty years old. From that miraculous experience until now Jesus has been kind enough to teach me many things.

On one particular Sunday afternoon I had no place to go so I decided to visit the base chapel. An evangelist was giving a talk. I thought I would go to listen. The talk seemed rather typical and commonplace, nothing new or surprising. Afterwards, however, the congregation was invited to divide into three groups. Group one would ask God to forgive them of all of their wrong doing and accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. Group two would dedicate their lives, talents, skills, and resources to the glory of God. Group three would pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Well, I thought,”I have already done one and two, I will pray for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit." I had not even heard of it at the time but it sounded exciting enough to try. The evangelist prayed with groups one and two first. Then she came to me. She asked me to repent of anything dealing with the occult. I said I only did the Ouiji Board when I was young but that was enough for her to request a prayer of repentance which I did. Then she said, “When I place my hands on you, you will receive the Holy Spirit.” Well, I knew the Spirit was inside of me because of the infilling, deliverance and wonderful revelations I had. But, I was not about to argue with an evangelist at the altar. So, I agreed. When she placed her hands on my head my whole chest seemed to open up and power began to fill me. Again the revelations came: “This is the “Stuff” that raised Jesus from the dead, Someone filled with this could never die, This is the power that heals, The Holy Spirit is alive and filling me, He is separate and distinct from me, How wrong the disbelievers are, People filled with this ascend to heaven.” I was overjoyed – even “intoxicated” like as described in the Book of Acts. To say I was overjoyed is actually an understatement. I was euphoric! I couldn’t believe God would touch someone like me.

I went straight to my room to be alone with God and this amazing feeling I had. I lay on my bed and began to pray. Suddenly, this rapid-fire language I had never learned, studied, or heard before began to rocket out of my mouth directly to the throne of God. In it was a complaint for all of the abuse I suffered as a child. My spirit was speaking directly to Spirit and I knew without any doubt that he was listening. I had been given the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Gift of Tongues. The generosity of God was astounding me. All because I had turned from sin and promised “to be good.” This was all just about nine months after I first found Jesus and almost 30 years ago. I have learned so much since then and have so much more to say. If you haven’t said that prayer to Jesus yet, now would be a good time to shut your eyes and say, “Yes, Jesus, do for me what you have been doing for millions of others since you first walked this earth.”

Let us pray "The Saint's Prayer":

Thank you Jesus for taking over my whole heart.

Thank you Jesus for taking over my whole soul.

Thank you Jesus for taking over my whole mind.

Thank you Jesus for taking over my whole life.

I forgive everone who ever hurt me in my life right up until this momement.

Thank you for baptizing me in your Holy Spirit.

Thank you for protecting me and my life in your most precious blood.

Thank you now for giving me eternal life.

Thank you Lord Jesus. Amen and Amen.

After my time at Scott AFB ended I decided to separate from the military to use my GI Bill to finish my degree. I spent four years, six months on four different bases. My time there was very difficult but by God's grace it all worked out well. As the Scriptures say, "all things work out to the good for those who love God."

My time back in my parent's house was one of healing. Both parents accepted that fact that I was now excited about Jesus and that he was now the center of my life. Nothing happened in a few days or weeks but within a few years I saw them both answer an altar call and confess Jesus as Lord of both heaven and earth. I thought, "Now Lord you can let your servant go in peace for my eyes have seen the salvation of the Lord!" I was so pleasantly surprised to see them step out for Jesus.

In my own life I continued to learn. Between church, bible studies, prayer meetings, youth groups and everything else my life was immersed in God. It was a very happy time for me. One of the most unique experience I had in those days came after a Saturday night service. It was the Christmas season and I had sung in the choir that night. After church I stood in a circle with some of my friends and one after another I heard something like: "I'm going to a Christmas party" here or a party there and one after another they excused themselves from the group. I felt a little sad because I had no party to go to so I decided to go to bed early that night. While praying alone in my room I was feeling very blessed by God and decided to ask him to love everyone in the world more than me. I reasoned at that time that if God loved everyone more than me then they would be just as blessed as I felt. Of course, now that I'm almost fifty that prayer seems very childish but, who knows?, maybe God enjoyed it. When I rolled over to go to sleep I had a vision of Jesus in my spirit....

Jesus is full of grace. I saw Jesus full of grace. When he moved, it wasn't just graceful movement. It was Grace itself moving. This aspect of my vision/revelation was very beautiful. I did not see his face because he was beginning to turn away. His hair was difficult to describe. It was not the nice little pictures we carry in our wallets or hang on our walls. His hair was dry and wind swept. It was like the way your hair gets when you spend the day at the beach. His hair was also very, very thick like he had never had it thinned out. If you can imagine a man who had never had his hair thinned out, rarely washed [by our modern day standards] and wind swept by the hot sun, this is what Jesus' hair looked like. It wasn't at all dirty but just looked caveman-like. I also saw part of his beard, but like I said, he was turning away as if to say "follow me." This vision wasn't a brief flash of a picture in my brain like some are but rather a revelation in my spirit, slightly longer lasting, and leaving an impression on my soul.

I was awestruck by what I saw. I said to myself, "I have seen the Lord Christ." Why I said that precise title I still have no idea to this day. But what I do know and have learned by this is that Jesus is Grace itself. This revelation/teaching helped me greatly in the years to come. From that day onward I understood that whatever Jesus decided for me was the best for me. Whatever Jesus allowed to happen to me would become the best for me because Grace does not make mistakes. Jesus can do no wrong. Jesus is perfect. As the Scriptures say, "God is light, in him there is no darkness." And again, "God is love." Jesus is the way, the TRUTH, and LIFE. All of these scriptures have come alive for me - even more than they already were - since seeing Jesus.

Hope y'all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you ever think that at age 1 1/2, he hadn't built an immunity to ant bites, but by the time he was 2 he had?

Sorry, no miracle.

And if it's true, why place emphasis on promising that it's true?

***************************

Healed of BRAIN CANCER.

My [then 26 year old] daughter was diagnoised with a lemon sized brain tumor in the left lobe of her brain via 2 cat scans and an MRI. The Doctors knew it was beyond surgical help, so as a family we PRAYED to the Lord Jesus Christ and pled His Holy Blood over Melaine.

I put her on some natuarl supplements but the healing was from Almighty God. She was great pain and had to lie down all day with horrible headaches and fatigue. After three months tha pain lifted and within 4 months she able to do light houswork.

That was EIGHT YEARS ago.

She is now totally well and feeling fine.

Last year she had an MRI that showed a clear brain. ALL growth was gone and Jesus had completed a divine supernatural healing . . .and that is only one of MANY MIRACLES our family has received in JESUS NAME!!!

Yes, God is real, and He is all powerful. Jesus is God in the flesh and he loves all of YOU!!

Lasik eye surgery is a miracle. My wife was -8 powers, almost legally blind. To give you an example, when she woke in the morning and didn't have her glasses, she had to hold the large, digital clock pressed against her face to read the time.

She spent the $$ on a great doctor, had Lasik and walked out with 20/20.

Walked in blind, walked out 20/20, now that's a miracle.

Without going into to much detail, I have prayed for something while talking to someone online/over the phone, and have seen things happened that I prayed for without ever voicing what I was praying about. The person told me what was happening with no knowledge of what I was doing. Prayer is a powerful tool that we don't use correctly, it can make anything happen (in His will).

HOW UNREASONABLE . . .

"Did you ever think that at age 1 1/2, he hadn't built an immunity to ant bites, but by the time he was 2 he had?

Sorry, no miracle."

OF COURSE IT WAS A MIRACLE . . . . it's truly a waste of time trying to dismiss miracles.

Here's another one. Six years ago I devolped a large cyst on the inside of the vagina [yes, vagina] it was so painful I finally went to the Doctor. He shot in lidocane, then lanced the cyst. BUT . . .he then did something that is againt all medical treatments fo a cyst. He squessed on it very hard, and in my spirit I know that was wrong. He did not give me antibotics.

The next day was Thanksgiving, and all the famly was supposed to get toghter.

But, by 11:00 AM, about 24 hours after the Doctor pressed on the INFECTED CYST, the toxins had hit my bloodstream. I was SUDDENLY hit with a horrible headache, and the fever set in, climbing to 103 in a matter of minutes. I was so weak and sick I could not stand. I went to bed with the phone in my hnad. I waited for a couple of hours while asking GOD what I should do. I am very allergic to many antibotics, and I was not wanting to go to the hospital, as I knew what I was suffering from.

I WAS IN TOXIC SHOCK WHICH IS DEADLY MOST OF TIME WITHOUT INTERVENTION.

The Doctors would have put me IV drips of strong antibotics. So, when the LORD showed me I had toxic shock from bateria entering my enitre blood stream I called my youngest daughter for prayer.

She prayed . . .for healing . . .we believed for healing.... I lay still, and with in one hour the fever went from 103 to 100.

Within two hours ALL HEADCAHE and faitgue was GONE . . . I MEAN TOTALLY GONE. I got up, called the family and had THANKSGIVING DINNER WITH THEM after all.

A MIRACLE HEALING . . . and no one can tell me that was anything but a touch from the Most High God in Jesus Name.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Some of us have had to ask a lot until finding something that we could believe in, faith works when you believe firmly. I go with Candace on this one, the technical means for it are a very good explanation.

I've had money miracles, it comes up just when I need it, so that I can do exactly what I knew I should do.

OH . . . and many delivrances from demonic oppression.

Now watch this thread get attacked.

I'll be back with more . . .

THANK THE LORD Jesus Christ,

God in the flesh for his love, mercy and power.

Satan is evil and he is out to TRY to "kill, steal, and destroy."

*******

However, far greater, is the loving and POWERFUL Lord Jesus Christ.

When my youngest son was 11 months old he had just learned to walk. He was standing beside on me on the top of a long flight of stairs in an old farm house. The stairs went down about 10 big steps and then made a sharp angle and continued for another 8 steps.

Suddendly, and for no logical reason "something" took hold of my baby boy and literally shoved him down the flight of steep stairs. He fell, down on his back and neck, and when his little body came to the sharp turn, his body also turned and down he continued.

I thought for sure it would have snapped his neck or broken his little back. He was screaming and crying of course and naturally it hurt A LOT. I let him lay for fear of moving him, and as my older kids calmed him, I called my Pastor who knows how to "cast out demons AND pray for the sick."

The Pastors reply when I voiced my fear that my baby would die, was . . . "HONEY, DON'T WORRY, HE IS GOING TO BE JUST FINE." The Pastor then prayed for immeadite healing and delivrance from all demonic attempts that would try to harm my boy.

Within five minutes, my baby was back to noraml. He stopped crying after we laid him on the sofa and within a couple of minutes he jumped up and walked all over the living room.

That was 32 years ago. This baby boy has been very special to Jesus.

James is now a Doctor of Pharamcy . . . he is follower of Jesus Christ, and he is admired by all by all who know and respect him.

ALL GLORY TO GOD!!!

Bro Scrump....
I'm curious as to why you would post about miracles on this day....is there a reason? I know this is a question to your question but I'm pressed to ask you why since there is a definite reason for everything. Also here is a miracle to share that happened many many years ago in the 60's when I was a little girl. My Mom was driving my brother and I home from Sunday school and church...we lived in Minnesota and it had just snowed the night before. The road coming home was slicky iced coated along with this new snow and my mother did not realize how slick it was until she tryed to brake....no braking....a train was speeding down the tracks off to the left and there was no way to stop as we were about 1 block from the RR crossing. This is a rural area and snow piles lined both sides of the road leading to the crossing so there was no way to turn off the road.On the right hand side about 8 feet from the trax was the RR sign that was on a thick post....from the trax to the post it was somewhat clearer but as my mom told the story she wanted to try and turn the car into that spot but the car was out of control and there was no way for here to turn the steering wheel. I can see it perfectly clear as if it happened this am....I was in the front seat with my Mom and my little bro was in the back......no one said a word.....I recall having no fear at all....it was wierd feeling from a time perspective because everything just went into slow motion...then in a split second the car was just transported and set between the trax and this big sign and the train was speeding by us throwing huge amounts of snow on top the car....in that moment I flung open the car door and jumped into the snow and tryed to run away from the car while screaming and watching the train continue to speed by with this loud roaring sound....it was wild to see this. When the train was thru my mom called for me to come back to the car and by then I was crying and scared.....she then said we had just been in a miracle because right at the split second we were going to be impacted by the train her hands were lifted off the steering wheel and the car was instantly put into that spot between the sing and the trax.This is a true accounting....I have no agenda.... This is the first time I have ever posted here....been reading this forum for about 2 months. Thanks for answering my question....just looking hard for obsure things wanna get off this planet really badly....been wanting to go ever since this train deal thing happened. I have asked so many times as to why we were saved that day.....I have sobbed a million tears since having lived a pretty pathetic life it would have been far better to have died then rather then lived the way I did...and I had many other deliverance miracles happen as well from drugs,booze and cigs...tried hard to kill myself but I am still here....mind boggling.

Uuuh, you're sooo special, aren't you? The Big Guy must really love you.

Out of the millions of sperm cells, only one fertilizes the egg. Only an estimated percentage (60-70%?) of the resulting pregnancies come to full term. The chances of being born healthy and into a nurturing environment defines our lives as nothing short of an ongoing miracle.

I don't know if is a good idea to share so intimate experiences. For some people it's good, the faith is strengthened. But I also know that God perform miracles in humility, and the benefactors are allowed to discover things only when is for the praise of God or for someone help. Yes, I witnessed too miracles in my life, but I prefer not to talk. Yet...
God bless!

Wow!

Very cool thread!

I'll add one from my life.

My grandfather died when I was 5 years old and we went to his funeral. This was a small cemetary in the country and it was winter, snowing and cold.

When we arrived, I became distracted with sloshing in the ice and mud and didn't notice when the crowd of people began leaving to go to the chapel for the funeral service. I was also afraid of the graves and I started walking away from them. My mother was too distraught to notice my absence and probably thought I was with the crowd.

Soon I discovered I was alone and I remember looking around frantically for anyone. I had no idea where they all had gone and I began to walk in the woods, away from the scary graves, my heart pounding wildly.

The weather was becoming worse and I was terrified because I couldn't see any buildings or roads. I was lost.

Suddenly I saw my grandfather (the one who had just died) standing a ways away, looking at me. I began to walk towards him. He didn't talk, but just turned and began walking. So I followed him.

He led me straight to the chapel, going inside. I went inside too and saw my mother kneeling next to his open coffin, crying, and all the other funeral goers inside.

So, I know, that love never dies. We are always cared for:)

Very nice, Earth Daughter - great story

Thanks Turtles!

Wow!

Fancy that.

Hey, AC- My cousin and her husband have a fabulous church in Pflugerville (North Austin). Hill Country Bible- he's the pastor...Danny and Kathy Box. Check it out- I was there about a month ago when their daughter got married. Very laid-back, very outreach oriented, very loving and giving place.

let's see.
one dark evening someone put up a stupid thread about miracles and i began to read. through reading i found i still have a wee bit of a heart.

closing now.
why'd ya start it scrump?

I have had several miracles happen to me, personally. I have trouble understanding people who don't "believe" but then I guess if a miracle happened to them, they would change their tunes. So why do these things happen to some and not others?

Good thread Scrump. But to pump a little humor into this. It was a miracle that I didn't kick the crap outta my ex-wives boyfriend when she left me!
