103 MIRACLES

103 MIRACLES

As I said earlier, you can tell when God does a miracle, not by watching for a great event or by seeing something extraordinary, but by getting what you asked for.

I was at a healing seminar, quite a long time ago, where many miracles took place every day. [It lasted 3 days] People with constant migraines were healed, internal lumps disappeared, bones were made healthy and so on; did you notice that all the things that were healed could not be seen with the naked eye?

Many of the things healed we had to take the persons word for it that it was gone. Many sent documented proof to the evangelists, later, but most of us had to take their word for it right then and get our own healing. That is how faith works; taking an honest persons word for something.

And, yes, I received in that seminar also. I went there with ‘tennis elbow’ in my right elbow that the doctor that was treating it told me, after three trips to him, that if the medicine that I was taking did not fix it soon, I would have to have cortisone injections into the joint by needle. Like most people, I don’t like needles and especially into a joint.

When the prayer for healing time came, I joined the rest of the people that needed a healing, and went up front so they could put their hands on me and pray to God for my healing. It was instantaneous; God heard their request and gave me a healing right away.

I had no more pain from that instant on, even though it was paining when I went there. How do you know that I’m telling you the truth? You don’t; you will have to take my word for it. Your reaction could be faith which will help you get a healing, when you need one; doubt, which will hinder you when you need a healing; or scepticism, which will cost you your healing and your belief in a loving God.

As for me, weather you believe or not, does not matter, I don’t have that pain anymore; however I do have something from those meetings that is very evident in the physical world. After 5 years of seeking for the baptism of the Holy Ghost, with the evidence being the utterance of ‘tongues’ [a different language that I had not learned], I received it in those meetings and can speak ‘in tongues’ at will now. [Yes, I had it tested by the linguists at UNB and it is another language. There are only about 3600 known languages in the world and in mankind’s history.]

Another point of proof for me was when I was asked to place my hand on another person’s back and pray for their healing. This person had an S curvature of their spine. After my prayer, I watched what no one else could see; while they were watching that persons face and could see the joy that came there, I was watching their back and watched the muscles and bone bulge in and out, move back and forth and side to side as God moved them around to place them into the places that they were normally supposed to be.

That person was healed by God’s great power and love and I had the privilege to watch Him do it. It only took a few seconds and, if I had looked away, I could have easily missed it but that person left the building with out that spine curvature.

The proof of a miracle is not a great event but did what was prayed for happen the way it was asked for. If you simply asked for something, did you get it? If you didn’t need it right away, did it come when you did?

The end result is the proof of a miracle not the event itself.

Miracles are simply the polar opposite of a tragedy. Nothing more. IMO, people read too much into things.

Hi again, Karen
Even though miracles seem to be opposite to tragedy, miracles are nicer and what could be a miracle for me might be a tragedy for someone else.
ie; when I found $25 at a weight scales in Ontario it was a miracle for me but a tragedy for the person that lost it.
That person that had the S curvature in their spine recieved a miracle when it was healed but they no longer had to buy drugs for pain and the doctor that was treating it lost his revenue because that person no longer had to see him.
