My son Kevin, had thrown up for about 6 years or so, and it's really impossible to logic with an autistic person why they shouldn't do that-so Kevin developed serious health issues-throwing up sometimes as much as 6-7 times in a few minutes. He had stomach problems and esophagal pain-and things looked bleaked. He was scheduled for an upper G.I. and I asked everyone who was a believer in the stripes Jesus took on the cross for healing-to pray. Well, last month we got the results and it is as if (I believe this is a reconstructive miracle) a new esophagus and stomach. While GERDS was the least they said he had, there was concern about Barretts-which is pre-cancerous-and even cancer. Kevin's test showed nothing-no erosions, no lining missing, no masses, not even reflux! I just wanted to share this to encourage you and to ask you if you have seen a miracle you knew was the answer to prayer?

So many things.
Today there was an answer to a prayer for a very good friend of mine.

That's an encouraging report Phyllis. Praise Him.
There nothing He can't do. 
I truly don't know how difficult it is to believe in His unique nature, if you've never been witness to something remarkable taking place right before your eyes. (Such as the miraculous healing of your son.)
I've been greatly touched by His love also.
But I know that prior to my accident, His presence in the world around me, seldom merited a second thought.
I wouldn't say that I hated God, (as many post-ers here seem to); He just didn't merit much of my attention.
Things were good.
Life was good.
I had problems, sure. But my problems were nothing too bad. Nothing I couldn't deal with.
It wasn't until something real bad happened that my attention swung around to God.
Was I driven down to my knees to seek Him??
Perhaps.
I truly believe that He allowed my accident to take place.
I don't think He caused it to happen.
I don't believe I was that evil a person. But I believe that with His foresight, He saw where living through the series of events to begin to occur in my life, would take me.
He saw the result these events would have on my life.
And I believe He also saw the contribution, a newly Christ-empassioned servant would have on the lives of others around Him.
That would be me.
So yes, I've been witnessing very small demonstrations of His all-encompassing love for just over 20 years--on a sometimes daily basis.
God bless you Phyllis. God bless your son.
Thank you for being so bold in your witness.

Thanks alot, Servant-People seem to think any four letter word is okay, any perversion, any joke about others/the Lord, etc., but when it comes to praise, you get the odd look people used to get from cursing. I know exactly what you mean and I agree totally. The Lord does not cause evil to come about, but sometimes because He sees down the road, things are allowed to happen. You choose then to use that to become bitter or better. I have great solace in knowing my other son, who died in April, made it! I found out he had started going to church and in fact, was playing the violin in the orchestra. I had asked him a long time ago if he was saved and he confessed, "Yes". I know that though it broke my heart and I will never feel the same, God knew Jay was ready right at that moment. I know that I know that I know-and He loved Jay enough to take him when he was prepared to meet Him. I decided a long time ago that no matter who made fun of me, or whatever they wanted to think-that was going to be okay because I'm totally interested in what the Lord thinks of me. He is the one who I will someday stand before. I will never, ever stop thanking Jesus for those stripes. You have a very strong sense of who you are in the Lord, and you share it with a zeal all of us should have. I wish there were more people like the ones who posted on this subject.
God bless you!

Thanks for sharing what I wish more would Phyllis.
ask you if you have seen a miracle you knew was the answer to prayer?
My mother considers my recovery as a miracle but what I consider more is about my pa.When he was 45 he had a bad heart attack and was kept in intensive care,Mom came home that evening and asked us all to pray hard that night because dad might not make it to tomorrow.
He lived to be 79.
I havent gone a day without prayer since that day 41 years ago.

All right Jankia! Thank you for sharing that! God is sooooo good! I had months of quoting scripture to myself, looking up scripture, of course they say you grow in the valley but I hope I'm grown enough for awhile! I keep thinking of Isaiah 53:5. I know lots of miracles that I believe happened because of Christian mamas who prayed and guided their sons and daughters to pray! I think the Lord's sacrifice will always be the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep.
Jankia, I bet your mom is right and both those incidents were miracles.

It seems that we should be self sufficient to some degree but when we are in the mindset of knowing that we can deal with all difficulites on our own we create a seperation between us and God. Just as it happend in your live SOC so it happens with all of us, unknowingly. Funny how suttle something like that is. It is also remarkable how God, who loves us, won't leave any of us there. Some still remain in that state but it is a matter of choice that keeps them there.
Jankia that is our answer to everything, prayer and leaving it in Gods hands. Easier said than done. This is one of the best threads I have ever read on here so far. I hope it keeps going. Thanks to God for all of you and thanks for the insightful helpful witenssing.

That's great! I hope it does too! I'm so glad you feel that way! I have seen quite a few miracles-One was when the eye doctor said Kevin would go blind-he had keraticonus-(where the cornea shapes like a cone and bursts, leaving scarring and loss of vision) but that stopped, and the specialist looked at his chart two years ago and last year and said, "I couldn't have written it down wrong two years in a row, but Kevin sees better now than he did (the year before). I'm not jaded about miracles, but I think as Christians, it would be great if we could just expect them, knowing who we serve. I am on a daily ladies' prayer pals group and we intercede every day for people who request prayer (I personally believe intercessory prayer is the strongest form of prayer), and I've seen so many things from that - time after time after time...but when it's your family member or your need that's been answered, then it really hits you that the saying is true that, "The world says, I'll believe it when I see it, but the Christian says, "I'll see it when I believe it"!!

Today I woke up. That is a miracle.
Today I got to talk with loved ones. That is a miracle.
Today I got to see a redbird on my feeder. That is a miracle.
I think having life is a miracle.

No BJ those things are natural. Miracles are supernatural, beyond the realm of what is considered normal, outside of anything that people usually experience, etc.

I was reading about The Lady of Fatima and thought I would post this site that tells the story and more...
http://www.world-mysteries.com/mpl_12.htm
The site itself has lots of mystery.

We had an interesting sermon today in church about Gods miracles.
If we can open our minds to see the truth of God's breaking into the natural order of things, then we can believe in additional miracles. Haven't we all been touched by a miracle in our lives?
I think that most people have had experiences that they would attribute to some kind of miracle.
Theologically, the Incarnation is God's basic miracle, but possibly an even greater miracle than that is the fact that billions have believed it as it has been presented to them in story form. The story is pictured on your Christmas tree in the ornaments that project the Nativity.
The Nativity story captures our hearts, but it also challenges our minds to understand it and scientists come to understand that the highest in life cannot be explained and that the only logical explanation is that there has somehow been a Divine hand involved.

"Miracles" occur regardless of religions, gods or divine interventions.
The oldest miracles go far beyond Christianity and without acceptance of a God.

God was here before the Christians. Plus, how do you know there was no acceptance of a One God?

Only according to christian beliefs did god exist and this only came into play when christians said so.
Many religions, and world renowned religions, had no need for belief in a one god or no god.

Your beliefs of this is in the wrong direction...The Jews wrote the OT and the Jews always believed in one God...Yahweh. They also believe the Messiah is to come; They just didn't and still don't believe that Jesus was him.
Jesus himself was a Jew and came from the Judah tribe. The Apostles were Jews. Paul was raised under Roman rule, but he was a Jew and educated in the Pharisee school. If you read ACTS and look closely enough, you will see Asians attending the Pentacost in Jeruselem.
Apostle Philip and Bartolomew took their ministry into Phrygia, which was in Galatia Asia.

I believe Hinduism is actually the oldest surviving religion, and its many 'gods' are all actually attributes of the one supreme (and nameless) God...but I believe this was the first to survive, although certainly not likely to be the first ever.
Let us hail the God, Who does not have a name or a form or anything like that, by singing thousands of Its names!
