What Miracles Have You Seen God Do in Your Life? (Or Spiritual Entity)

I'm not exactly a religious person, but I don't think it was an accident that I got pregnant with my son the first Mother's Day after my mom died (and YES, I do know EXACTLY what day I got pregnant)

There have been lots of miracles in my life, but they were all brought about by my own efforts or through the efforts of my dear friends and family. None of them came from a deity.

I've had several actually. The most recent was a good friend who had lost majority of her sight and was declared legally blind due to an electrical accident at work. For the past 8 years she has been unable to find steady work, she can't drive and is raising three kids, two of which are mild Autism. She herself wasn't terribly spiritual, she believed in God but only went to chuch at Christmas and Easter. I am a different religion than her but told her I was going to what I believe when it comes to prayer. After an amazing journey, this is the honest truth, I had just commented on a FB post one evening she had put when all the sudden, she changed her post to say, "I can see! I can see!!". She blinked and she said she felt like something was caught in her eye so she kept blinking a few more times and her eyesight had restored! She went to the doctor the next morning and they told her 98% of her vision had been recovered. The doctor told her he had no explanation other than a higher power must have been looking out for her. She since has found steady work, she was able to regain her drivers license and for the first time in 8 years, she can see her kids:)

I know your road. I've walked it. I am sending prayers for you.

Bob was furloughed after 9 years of service with his company (along with 40 other people) with no severance - Bob turned 50 this year - we had money in our savings to do a lot of things - each thing we chose (a cruise, Disney World, a Yankees v Red Sox game and sitting on the Green Giant) ALL got put off for one reason or another....we lived off our savings.

Rewind to 2002 - July 9. Nicky was born, his first APGAR score was a 2. He was purple and blue. It took them about 5 minutes (it could've been less but when you are there - the seconds drag by like hours) to get him to cry. I didn't get to see him until 4 hours later. Bob comes in as he was leaving to take care of Greg - Nicky stopped breathing - but he's okay....it didn't sink in right then. I was taken to the NICU and was touching him - and he stopped breathing - flat lined - I typically don't panic - but I freaked. The doctors told us he had pneumonia and other pulmonary issues...he was 4 weeks early - but my water had been broke for a week - every time we went in to have it checked - nothing showed up....so the doctors tell us - he is 50/50. He'll be in the hospital for at least 6 to 8 weeks.

I call Father Rob - balling - could barely get my words out...I ask for prayers for my son - he's got tubes sticking out all over him. Please come and hold my hand - Bob can't be here he has to take care of Greg - my parents were on their way here - my best friend wasn't due out until August - his due date - she was in Florida...our other friends had stuff going on - this was sudden...our church started a prayer chain...I can tell you that in a matter of an hour - I felt a calmness come over me. I sat in the chair in the NICU and prayed....I cried....I slept. within 48 hours - of the prayer chain - Nicky was breathing on his own. The doctors were TOTALLY surprised...I wasn't. I felt the power of God right there. Nicky was released from the hospital at 8 days old - the NICU had a party - they really thought we would be there for months...

To this day - I know that God has assigned guardian angels to Nicky. he fell head first off the diving board on to a concrete slab - NOTHING was wrong with him. He has run in front of traffic (oh my God - can you say GRAY HAIR!!? AND HEART ATTACK!!!???) and the cars were literally stopped one body width away from him...this has happened twice...he has "driven" his fire truck down the stairs - don't go there - BLOOD EVERYWHERE - a split lip was all that happened...he was 15 months old....once I got him cleaned up - he found a helmet and TRIED to do it AGAIN!! (oh my GOD!!! PLEASE!!!) I could go on...

God has touched my life in so many ways...He has blessed me with friends from here that I hope to meet in person, He has blessed me with friends who have consoled me through my losses, cheered with me on my successes and given me a family who loves me unconditionally.

I was told I would not have kids, I have 4.

Once when I was broke, I won 5000 dollars.

When I had to move across the Usa 3 times, I always had a full daycare in just a couple weeks.

I have been cured of 10 years of bladder infections.

I have been healed of much pain.

My brother survived a head on collision at 1 year and no seat belts while standing in the front seat.

He made our houses sell on time, every time, in bad times.

This year he has provided much needed repairs for our home.

I am sure I could think of so much more.

I have witnessed the transformation and deliverance of a loved O. from a 30+ year drug addiction. Nothing changed for this person until he turned it over to the Lord. I am AMAZED at his complete and total transformation! Mind, body and spirit.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Sending you prayers!

Well in 2008 i didn't talk to my sister in like 2 days and that is very abnormal. we talk like almost everyday and her boyfriend at the time was out of town so we were worried. my sister was living in philly at the time and we live in baltimore. so me and my mom decided to drive up to philly to make sure everyting was okay. and we prayed to get the whole way there. when we got there my sister was in the middle of her bathroom passed out. and she was blocking the door. well we called the police and the ambulance and had them take her to the hospital. she was in acoma for almost 2 weeks with renal/ kidney failure and things weren't looking good. we found out she had cancer. she eventually came out of acoma and kidneys began to function normally.

fastforward to current day her kidney's are still fine and her cancer is in remission. that is a miracle because my grandmother and grandfather died from cancer. so please believe if God delievered my sister from cancer God will answer your prayers and keep you under his wing. as long as you have faith the size of a mustard seed you will be able to move mountains.

It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles. (Psalm 34:17)

Oh my gosh. You are talking about my life, summer 2010. My husband was laid off in May. It was not until the end of September that he got a full-time job with normal hours. He did get a job at the end of August, but it was not regular hours, sometimes overnight, and never guaranteed 40 hours per week.

My pastor preacher on the plight of the Egyptians that summer. If you'dl ike, I will go find his sermons and send them to you. I left church every week in tears. HE has never been a more powerful presence in my life. My pastor went on and every week he told us how the next week would be harder but to know that it was all in God's control. God will take care of you. It might not be in the way you think or want, but he has a plan for you and this is part of it.

You and your family are most certainly in my prayers. God Bless!

i am saying a prayer for you hon. just a few weeks ago, i felt i was being led down a path that led to divorce. seriously. my husband got laid off, like yours, and immediately the stress began to take a toll, and he got angry and hateful towards myself and our son. it is a cycle we had been through before, and i had decided it was the last time. for some reason it took that long for me to think of contacting my pastor (my husband doesn't go to church). i really felt that my husband was so angry towards me that he was done trying, but i got a miracle - he agreed to talk to my pastor. wholeheartedly got into it, actually. i contacted my pastor and we had our first "session" of counselling a couple weeks ago - it has made ALL the difference. i truly believe that God was moving in my husband and bringing us back together. i have never felt so sure of God's presence.

another story, although it isn't mine - a lady that was temping for us was having a very hard time meeting quota - she finally confided that she had had carpal tunnel surgery and that her hands were in agony on the few days that she did reach quota. so we had to let the temp service know, and they started looking for another position for her. we really hated to see her go, she was such a wonderful graceful spirit. just the sweetest lady you could ever imagine to meet, gracious, dignified, and a great worker. she gave us all she had, that's for sure. anyway, the guy at the temp agency knew that she had transportation issues, and also knew that her sister worked at our other location (which does slightly different jobs). so he found out there was an opening that might work for her, and took it upon himself to "help out" and call the sister and see if she'd be willing to ride share. unbeknownst to him, the sisters were estranged. happily, the sister agreed to ride share with our temp. she told me that when she went over to interview, she saw her sister, and after years of not speaking, they both just burst out laughing. How silly of them, and shame on them, she said, for not speaking for so long - how disappointed would their mother be if she knew...anyway, it brought a tear to my eye, because sometimes you just never know how going the extra step can help someone...and that gentleman brought two sisters together, without even realizing it. pretty awesome, i thought. this lady also is very spiritual, and we talked about how sometimes God answers prayers you didn't even know you were praying. Love it!

When I was pregnant with my son my water broke at 31 weeks and I found out he had hydrops. After 2 days of hearing he wouldnt survive. The drs even wanted me to sign a paper saying I didn't want agressive treatment done after his birth. And i prayed for an answer and later that day i was told I would be transfered to another hospital. I KNEW my prayers had been answered! I felt a sense of calm. And after a long struggle I took my son home! There's not a day, even amidst of the chaos I live through with my son, that I don't thank God that I get to even have this special boy in my life and be his mother! He is my miricle baby

There have been so many and we have been in that situation before as well. My favorite story is though that our doctors told us we would not be able to get pregnant after a year of trying unless we had invitro. We prayed and prayed and took a break to regroup. What we later realized on my birthday was that I was pregneant on the day my doctor told us this news. Happily ever after! He is now 7 and we also have a 5 year old girl.

Prayers coming your way.....Personally I have received small and large blessings (some when least expected.....one last Saturday that happened as I was praying at my kitchen sink, in just an instant)....To God all the glory.

Have a blessed Thanksgving and I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Look forward to hearing from you and your "SO WHAT HAPPENED".

Blessings.....

My experience was not a happy go lucky one! It is truly about my friends. She a christian and he undecided. He was waiting for some sign from God to believe. I prayed for him every day for over a year. Turned out he was cheating on his wife. Not only once but twice that she found out about. She moved to a closer city so he would not commute and they could be a family every night. They are now three hours away. We rarely see them. I miss them terribly. She did not want a divorce and they stayed together. About six months later he calls my husband and tells him he is saved! He had a choice to listen to the bible on audo, learn spanish or just listen to the radio. He chose the bible!!! While I still have my own demons to fight about what I think of him ...he is now a christian man and his daughter recently got baptised with him! Its truly amazing and heart breaking at the same time how he took the hard road to get where he needed to be. God bless you and your family. Although some dont believe that God has a plan for us I believe he does. He needs you somewhere else and perhaps this is the hard road to get you where you need to be. May God place you where He needs you.

I myself have had soooo many encounters, however, I can't really go into it all now since I'm trying to get my kids to bed.

But, I am writing to tell you I have already said a prayer for you and your family. Please keep us posted letting us know if any miracles have taken place.

God Bless!

You know, I am thrilled to say that I have CLEARLY seen His hand in several instances, putting me in places that I'd never have been, guiding my steps, helping me in ways that could only be explained by His direct intervention. It's awesome isn't it? One of my favorite scriptures is regarding the faith of a mustard seed...Just pray with faith about this, let go of it (that's the hard part) and watch Him work. I will join you in prayer...

I have witnessed and been a receiver of medical miracles, both on a grand scale such as a disappearing cancerous brain tumor, and on a smaller scale, such as a miracles healing of a major ear infection within minutes of prayer. Many are simply too sacred and deeply personal to share, I have seen a lifetime of them.

We also managed by on some rough years including job loss, only by the grace of God did we somehow survive without going into debt. The things that happened that kept us afloat were amazing. People who had no idea about our situation randomly dropped off food at our house or were 'inspired' to donate clothing or even money to us. We find a $50 in our couch that we never had before, we are given some rebate we originally didn't qualify for or fees were waived for other things....

A few months ago, I was driving on a one lane highway and had a vision of a major accident I almost got involved in with my vehicle. Before it happened, I heard a voice telling me to slam on my brakes and swerve, I saw myself laying on a stretcher. I immediately did as I was instructed... and right when I did, a car broke down and stalled right in front of me and caused a huge traffic dilemma... had I not acted preemptively, I would have hit this car head on going 65 mph. It was truly a miracle. I have so many instances like this, and know others who have too.

God gives us trials in life, he also gives us tender mercies. Sometimes they are huge, sometimes they are so faint we don't really even know it is a blessing... but if we are aware, we can see them. I will certainly keep your family in my prayers!

Please watch these few short videos on this very topic. They are only about 3 minutes long, but so touching and inspirational!:

OHHHHHHHHHH I have SOOOOO Many! Where should I start.

Living in and of itself is a miracle for me.

In April I under went life saving surgery to have my gall bladder removed. It would seem fairly routine too most, but my circumstances were bleak in the beginning. I had developed PTSD which resulted in Anorexia(used as a coping mechanism). When I lost the function of my gallbladder I was 98 pounds. I wanted to be able to start the long road to recovery, but could not, because I was unable to eat ANYTHING.

The surgeon had to be honest with me, there was a good chance I would not be strong enough to pull through surgery with as malnourished I was. He said there was s chance he would have to open me up old school, so he would not chance hitting any vital organs.

I was scared shitless.

When coming too, I remember having a conversation with someone. I could not tell you who it was, but they told me it was not my time. And I had things to finish here before leaving.

I was able to go home the day of my surgery. Because of my condition going into surgery, I was down for the count alot longer then a normal person would be.

Happy to say though I am now on the better side of all of it.

That is just one of many amazingly great and timely blessings I have had.

As many know I have been majorly involved with Occupy Wall street stuff.

I had to STOP alot of what I had been doing, because I developed a naasty Ulcer. And the stress was killing me.

So, in that time that I was taking a more home stance approach to the movement I prayed for direction. Something to spark closer to home...And a better goal and voice to reach more people.

After two weeks of being in pain from the Ulcer, I saw my doctor. They confirmed it was an Ulcer and got me on the road to recovery yet again.

That same Friday I can home to a notice on my Facebook page. Someone had started a WORKING Occupy Federal Way Page! I was pumped. The guy who had set it up, had contacted me and wanted to work together on it. I was in awe of the fact all was starting to come together.

It turned out, that Saturday when we had scheduled the first Public General Assembly, The guy was not what he lead on to be. He happens to have some mental disabilities and the competency of a 7 year old. this became apparent before the meeting, but I just thought he was extremely Juvenile.

BUT we were able to establish something amazing that day... Something that has since taken off faster then I can keep up with.

Yet again proving to me, that there is someone listening up stairs. It is just about being Patient and willing to wait. Putting your whole trust in the fact he has a plan. Sometimes it takes a bit to find the positive out of something crappy. But it is something that can be done.

I will absolutely be praying for you! And know that hard times are upon alot of people. So do not feel alone.

He means well and has the bigger picture in mind.

Will pray for you.

My husband and I repatriated from China (after 3 years) to find a crazy economy & we temped/subbed for a year. Got very deep in debt. Finally we stopped struggling (maybe it was just me)....and just prayed "Lord, you know what we need!" Husband got a job this past August and the pay is almost what he got as international teacher. I also was offered a full-time job around the same time.

I was having dinner tonight with a woman on the committee who hired him. She mentioned how she didn't hear from him, but heard from the other candidates. I told her how I had sent her email to junk mail because it had a weird email address. Somehow she persevered & made sure she got in contact with him. And ultimately, he was chosen.

We had a daughter 18 years ago this month -- she had 6 surgeries in 6 months; we almost lost her twice (once to sepsis, once to pneumonia/respiratory distress).

So, there have been miracles in our lives.

Don't give up! He won't let go of you!
