Frost

A few years ago, my wife and I had arranged to go for a restaurant meal with a lady friend. We left together, our friend leaving her car outside our house. It was a very cold winter's night, and a sharp frost was expected. We parked our car in a side street, and I realised I had forgotten the de- icer spray. So, I said a prayer, asking the Lord to protect our car from being iced up.

We spent about two hours in the restaurant, and when we came out it was bitterly cold. As we approached the street where we had parked the car, there were now several cars parked either side of ours, all totally covered in frost. I exclaimed "look at our car" - it was absolutely frost free! We rejoiced somewhat, glorying in the fact that God cares for even small details, like keeping our car frost free! We could imagine angels with hair dryers, blowing on our car. But that wasn’t all. When we arrived back to our street, our friend said excitedly, "look at my car"! All the parked cars were covered in frost, but her car was totally frost free! Minor miracles, but amazing all the same. What a wonderful God we serve!

Cancer

Remember the story of King Hezekiah's illness in 2 Kings 20? Hezekiah was at the point of death and was told by the Lord to put his house in order because he would not recover. King Hezekiah cried before the Lord and asked the Lord to remember his faithfulness. The Lord heard and gave him another fifteen years and confirmed it with a sign.

The Lord who worked in the lives of His people in the Old Testament is still working in the lives of His people today.

An elder in my church was diagnosed with liver cancer in November 1992 and was given six months to live by all the doctors he sought (including one in China). He prayed and asked the Lord for another ten years. The Lord heard and confirmed it with a sign. For the last decade he served the Lord in Malaysia. Exactly ten years have passed since he believed for a miracle and the Lord has called him home - just as he asked!

The Brain Virus That Paralysed Me

We had been in Africa preaching and had seen many miracles.

But soon, I was in hospital, a virus had entered my brain, it was so dangerous. I lost control of 90% of my body, I could not even talk. My Spirit was the only thing that was free, the Lord reminded me, ‘You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You’. Isaiah 26:3.

As I meditated on this word of prophecy, I felt at peace. God performed a miracle in my life and I was healed! The next year I had twin boys, and this year they will be 18 years old. The doctors can hardly believe that this happened to me, but they believe it when the read my medical report!

All these years on we are still out of England most of the year; we travel the world preaching the gospel and still see many healings.

Delivered from Sulphuric Acid

I was speaking in a hospital to some of the staff when I noticed a light spray coming down upon me. I thought that it was just water.

My legs began to hurt more than I could imagine, I looked down and my trousers were literally burning off me!

Everything stopped; all the nurses rush me out of the room. We soon realised that it was Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4).

There was a leak in a Sulphuric Acid container, and the fine spray that came upon me was so serious that it could damage my body forever.

I was getting scrubbed down, my legs were totally black. Something amazing happened, my trousers had melted away onto my legs, they all came off and my legs were completely whole, even the hairs were ok! There was no damage at all!

No-one walks away from being sprayed with Sulphuric Acid with no problems, but by the power of God, I did just that. It had no power over my body.

‘If they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them. They will lay hands on the sick, and they will be well.’ Mark 16:18



I two was cured of breast and ovarian cancer all within two years of each other. I know the Lord God healed me to be an example of others to what he can do......










Communism Falls

Every plane that flies in to the country was in danger of being shot down and when I walked the streets my life was in danger. That was Mozambique during the communist reign.

After preaching one of the Pastors told me that now we were going on a ‘glory march’ through the streets. A bitter war had been going on for years, now we were going to see the power of God.

Thousands of Christians walked through town, and we stood around the government building, praying and believing that the Communist system to be broken in this country. The very next day, every Russian had left!!

I will never forget how years of prayer had been answered in such a special way. Mr Clarredge.

In Debt

I was in debt and losing money. Feeling that deep craving, I was soon placing money on horses, and football again. Why did I keep doing it, I only lost money?

Then I heard the sound of a loud trumpet. Fear shook through my body, and I ran out of the shop. People stared at me, like I was a thief as I ran down the streets going home.

Had it happened? Was it the end? Had Christ come? I knew the Bible talked about the last days, when Jesus would come again. There would be a loud trumpet sound and the rapture would happen. Had I been left behind?

Reaching home, I found my mum. It was ok, I was safe. I thought I might spend eternity in hell, left behind.

Falling to my knees I cried out asking for forgiveness, ‘Jesus, please deliver me from this addiction. I don’t want to gamble again. I don’t want to go to hell…being left behind’.

Now I have to work my way out of debt, even though I had the miracle of salvation. The consequences of my sin are still affecting me. Its not easy, but as I learn the hard way, I should not get myself into debt again. - Matthew Throop.

Walking again

Since 1982 I was only able to walk short distances. By 1986 I was using two walking sticks and to go any distance I had to use a wheelchair this was such a difficult time. I was also wearing a stiff collar during the day and a soft collar at night. The pain never went away.

Life continued in this way until 1991 when I was diagnosed as having Lupas. Just after Christmas in 1998 God told me that I was going to be healed from the awful pain I was suffering and a few weeks later my Pastor Revd. Alan Clarredge told me that when I was Baptised I would be healed. I had told no one what God had told me so I knew Alan was confirming what God had already told me.

On Sunday the 20th January 2002, I with others went up to the front for prayer. The pastor was directed by God to pray for healing for me.It was tremendous, amazing, the Holy Spirit was so strong!

After the meeting ended my Husband Henry went to get the car and as I walked to meet him, a voice said to me "why are you using your stick". I paused and thought, `because it is so painful and I am frightened after all these years to go without it`. I thought about that voice all the way home, was it real? Did I imagine it? When I talked it over with Henry, his reaction was go in faith he said, "You really do not have to worry, because if you have got it wrong you will fall flat on your face"- typical.

I went in faith and the pain has gone away for the first time in 27 years, I have no back or joint pain. The stiffness is gradually leaving my joints and my muscles are getting stronger. The joy of waking in the morning with no pain, I just cannot describe it! A few months later a test showed that there was no trace of Lupas in my body! I was totally healed!

I will never forget the pain I had and I will serve God with what ever he leads me to do, with joy in my heart I dedicate my life to Him to do, as He wills. Praise the Lord for He is merciful. By Rowena Angell.

Miracles do exist I was witness to several as I mentioned ina different thread.

I saw people put away canes, and walkers. People took out hearing aides, people who had nerve damage bent and touched toes, people with servere pain were healed of it...

God is real and always with us. The Holy Spirit came upon me so strong it was like the carpet came from underneath me I fell backwards and could feel the warmth throughout the 5 hour mass and when I was blessed.

Yes miracles do exist -- I am a miracle. God has allowed me to stay sober for the last 15 wonderful years One Day At A Time. Couldn't have done it without Him

In my opinion, miracles are caused by ourselves, not God.
If a miracle happened to me, I would thank myself.

LOL manami.
So if you're dying grandmother whom is stricken with terminal cancer whilst in a coma, RECOVERS, it was entirely HER?
even though she was completely unaware?

You have the utmost highest case of denial.

Why do you deny grandma, themachine? Grandma has faith in herself. Perhaps you should, too.

Manami think before you type. How can you say you have yourself to thank if a miracle happens to you ? Is the oppisite also true if a disaster happens your to blame ?

If your going to take the good side you must also be responsible and take the bad.

kojack I can't type without thinking (Im japanese Im poor at English)
If a miracle like my grandma who died this year appeared in front of me occured, I would be so happy. I would thank myself that I could live until the day I saw her again.
If a disaster happened I would blame myself. Hmm does it include natural disasters? they are not my fault..

Miracles do happen, but I do think the term is a bit overused sometimes

Like if somebody's car flips, and they roll right side over and survive. Well this other guy's car flips and it doesn't roll over and he dies. That's not miracles, that's just pure dumb luck. Sometimes bad and good things happen, and it's not always God stepping in and lending direct invervention no matter how good that may make us feel to think that imo.

I think a miracle is a miracle if whomever it happen to says so. I know of case after case in my own life....where doctors were dumbfounded and things just couldn't be explained. I also know that yes some things are just luck.......especially in the face of the diversity when you say, OMG "Lord Help Me"......giggle.

I meant things that could not be explained.....for example doctors give someone a month to live and she is healed and medically that can't explain it.....the doctors are baffled, that is a miracle......or someone goes off a 500 foot cliff without a scratch....but they felt a presence with them.....that is a miracle....

I do agree that going outside in the early hours of the moprning and looking at all God's creation is a great miracle......and the deer who come and have coffee each morning with me...that is a miracle....but of a different kind.
