Sorin:
I agree with Kevin, that was indeed an excellent post Mark. I'm glad that you
were able ( well not you, but through you, God was able) to make her/them realize how wrong and decietful the Catholic teachings are. but they didn't even buy a vacuum? man, what a kicker! :lol:

mannonthecross:
Hi you guys,

First I just want to say that you all bless me beyond words!! :wink:
I cannot even begin to tell you how this fellowship is such an encouragement. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I looked up miracle in Strong's 4592, neut. of a presumed der. of the base of 4591; and indication, espec. cerem. or supernat.:-miracle, sign, token, wonder.

So, what constitutes a miracle? How big does a miracle have to be or how small before it is not considered a miracle? Is a miracle relative to the person it happens to? Does a miracle have to be raising the dead, or growing a limb back instantaneously? Seriously, I'm asking.  :)

Here's my experience that I consider a miracle. Quite some years ago now, I had a very good friend called Mich (as in Michelob Lite). Mich & I went everywhere. No gathering was complete unless Mich was invited. And with my family you could be darn sure he received a golden invitation.

Even after I had been "born again", Mich was still my constant companion.  Why my cousin & I would finish off a case in no time, then we would talk about God "things". (Actually, it was way easier to get my Catholic cousin to open up-that's another story). It drove my husband nuts.

Then one weekend in July, I set about to re-wallpaper my kitchen. Yep, you guessed it-me & Mich. I cracked that cold bottle open & took one swig. I stopped & looked at the bottle & wanted the Lord to take this addiction away from me. I'm talkin' about my whole being feeling as if I was actually turning inside out with desire to be set free. (Did ya ever feel like your insides were your outsides & your outsides were your insides? -It's weird, I'll tell ya.  :shock: ) In that instant, I walked over to the sink & dumped the whole thing down the drain; never, I mean NEVER again having even the least little desire to keep Mich's company again.  "Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!" Jn 8:36

That's my miracle. My husband believed it to be a miracle, too. He never thought he would see the day. It certainly is a wonder & a token of His supreme love.  But God is able & He does most graciously answer prayers.

Bless you guys,
Marianne

gmik:
Wow this is great.  Anymore out there???  Thank you for sharing what Ray has said.  I had read it before, but needed reminded.  I didn't see any legalism there, did you??Always pray & trust God, but you never know what the answer may be, if there is an answer--you know, the teacher is always silent during a test.

Cy:
Some very interesting, and encouraging responses, thanks again for all the feedback, given in a clear spirit of Godly comradery.

I agree completely that the spiritual things that happen defy natural cause and effect explaination, you'll hear no argument from me on the matter, but just to keep the spirit of my original question in mind, what I'd love to hear more about are those natural miracles, that even the enemies of God and Jesus did not deny, but could only try to discredit the source.

I have experienced gross headaches for years, that when in full force take me out of any functional use, as our Australian brother also experienced. I have such a history with them, I know they like to hangout for at least an hour or two per visit, so the time or two that they seemed to release fairly quickly seems an answer to prayer, and to me personally maybe a miracle, but no self-loving pharisee is going to agree it was a miracle, much less acknowledge there was even a headache in the first place.

Maybe the physical miracles I'm polling for just don't exist, but if you hear of any, all of us here would love to hear about it.

-Cy

BTW I'm not trying to discourage sharing of spiritual miracles, just keep driving the focus of this thread.

Kevin:
Okay Cy,
About 10 yrs ago my wife went to the doctor. They found a cyst the size of a tennis ball on her ovaries. He scheduled an ultrasound for her. A couple of days later she went for this test and the cyst was completely gone.
My middle daughter had a clogged tear duct that wouldnt clear up. They were gonna have to medically treat it. But God healed her before she had to go through that.
My oldest daughter has been healed of asthma.
My youngest daughter was born with a hernia, God has healed her completely.
And me, well Im alive and breathing. If you would have seen me and my life growing up, you would agree that its a miracle that Im here now.
I could go on and on with these physical healings, and I am truly thankful for God for all He has done. For He has healed me physically and spiritually. For He deserves all the glory
