Miracles Do Happen

It’s a lot. But what I really wrestle with is that God could work so many miracles and make all of it better—yet there’s still so much brokenness in the world. Then, I think about how I have to help my kids process the suffering they see and experience. I then rang the night bell to call the staff nurse. A horde of nurses came rushing into the room. Their astonishment was beyond description. ‘How did you get here?’ they asked. ‘I walked,’ I said, aware that it would be impossible for them to believe the truth. ‘Who has been in here? And what is all this dust all over the bed, and all over you?’ they asked. I said, ‘Don’t ask me. Just collect that dust and put it in a paper bag for me.’ They did this and collected one and a half kilograms of vibhuti. Brilliant in academics, Swathi had worked very hard to get a score of 1017 out of a possible 1200, and had it not been for these few people, it wouldn't have mattered. As of now, she is doing a B.Sc. Bio-Technology course in TNAU. If we want to know God better and see His glory, it’s a different story. He is who He says He is and He’ll do what He says He’ll do but we also have to do what He’s told us to do. There is no greater miracle than reviving from the dead universe and saying hello to the universe! – Mehmet Murat ildan

Do you believe in miracles? Well, you should. In fact, life itself is a big miracle. There are so many things that are beyond our understanding. There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle. – Albert Einstein The heart of Christianity is that Christ Jesus, the Son of God, came into the world at a point in history in the past to reveal what God is like and to accomplish salvation for all who believe in him by dying and rising again. Miracles cluster around that appearance in history in Jesus and in the life of the apostles to vindicate his claim and their writings. Build your confidence in miracles by keeping a family prayer journal to write down what you’re asking God for and how He answers you. And, w hen you or someone in your family hears about a miracle in someone else’s life, write it down! The point of faith is to accept on trust revealed truths about God that we would be unable to know by ourselves. As St Paul says: “If Christ is not raised, your faith is pointless” (1 Cor 15:17). Life is full of twists and turns, surprises and miracles. It is a sum total of all these things. It happens a lot of times that we wish one thing and a totally different thing happens. This idea is discussed in detail in the miracle quotes about life giIf Hume were right to claim that evidence for the miracles of one religion was evidence against the miracles of any other, then indeed evidence for miracles in each would be poor. But in fact evidence for a miracle “wrought in one religion” is only evidence against the occurrence of a miracle “wrought in another religion” if the two miracles, if they occurred, would be evidence for propositions of the two religious systems incompatible with each other. It is hard to think of pairs of alleged miracles of this type. If there were evidence f or a Roman Catholic miracle which was evidence for the doctrine of transubstantiation and evidence for a Protestant miracle which was evidence against it, here we would have a case of the conflict of evidence which, Hume claims, occurs generally with alleged miracles. But it is enough to give this example to see that most alleged miracles do not give rise to conflicts of this kind. Most alleged miracles, if they occurred, would only show the power of god or gods and their concern for the needs of men, and little else.

We serve a God who is able to do exceeding, abundantly more than we will ever be able to ask or imagine. He can and does still do miracles. Even though there were gifts of miracles and gifts of healing and gifts of exorcism that are spoken of in 1 Corinthians 12, it would be a huge stretch to think that the Christians with those gifts in the first century were performing miracles the way Jesus did. Already, in the first century, outside the life of Jesus, things had changed. Yes. Miracles still happen. I’ve seen everything from the miracles described here to storms calmed, financial provision at the exact moment it was needed, physical and emotional healing, and more.Christians believe that we live in a system of uniform natural causes, but one that is open to intervention by God – the creator of the system. Indeed, the concept of a miracle actually presupposes, rather than sets aside, the idea that nature is a self-contained system of natural causes, otherwise there would be nothing striking or surprising about miracles when they do occur. When we sense a nudge to ask for a miracle, do it. If we hadn’t asked God to stop time, would He have done it? I don’t think so. We’ll never know if He has a miracle in mind if we never ask. Weathers was later helped to walk, on frozen feet, to a lower camp, where he was a subject of one of the highest altitude medical evacuations ever performed by helicopter. Following his helicopter evacuation, he had his right arm amputated halfway between the elbow and wrist. All four fingers and the thumb on his left hand were removed, as well as parts of both feet. His nose was amputated and reconstructed with tissue from his ear and forehead. Weathers’s epic survival story was later documented in a feature film titled Everest. 7. Quora user Smit Anarkat talks about the greatest miracle of them all One of my coworkers heard the prayer and thought, “That’s a dumb prayer. It’s never going to happen like that. Don’t they know how long visa issues take?”

An all-too-common interpretation suggests God will give us whatever we want. A closer look at this verse reveals God will change our desires to become more like His when we lean on Him instead of ourselves. Anti-Realism is the view that we should be sceptical of the ability of the human mind to understand the true nature of objective reality. Anti-realist views of miracles are those views which regard miracles as subjective (mind-dependent) events taking place within our mind. Sometimes we don’t receive a clear answer to our prayers or a miraculous intervention because our “ask” is so vague as to be unrecognizable. Throughout the Gospels and Acts, miracles invite attention. Thus, in Acts 14, the signs God performs through Paul and Barnabas draw attention to their gospel message, which results in some people believing that message—and other people persecuting them. But it is hard for people to simply remain neutral or ignore the message when God performs acts of power in front of them. Not possible,” trusted advisors told me. “The miracles were all used up getting the church started.” Used up? No power left?

What is the purpose of a miracle?

Miracles happen every day, change your perception of what a miracle is and you’ll see them all around you. – Jon Bon Jovi An event which nature could do but God breaks the rules or principles of nature. E.g God curing someone of a disease. Nature could cure them of a disease, but it’s part of the principles of nature that curing a disease takes time. God does it instantly, thereby breaking the principle of nature despite doing something nature could nonetheless do.
