last thursday, i was on my way to purchase hundreds of 90% silver half dollars. i had all my equipment including my favorite magnet i use for coins. when i got to the customers house, no magnet! my wife bought that for me. i wasn't happy about the loss. so today, i'm half awake while in the process of waking up & my mind told me twice, "today's going to be a great day"! so, while my wife & i are at breakfast, she says to me, "you found you're magnet"? i turned around, & there it was, hanging off the dish dispenser!! "YEAH, PRAISE THE LORD JESUS" TOTALLY I BELIEVE JESUS PUT IT THERE THRU THE NIGHT FOR ME!!!

I would never dare to say that HE didn’t put it there. But more likely, that he opened your eyes and you misplaced it or forgot about it.

I would love to hear about some of the other miracles that you’ve experienced? If you were willing to share…

you actually are saying that with your last statement. so, here we go again with Christians not believing another Christian whom Jesus has chosen to perform miracles on. you & suzanna are doubters. why? have you received any miracles form Jesus? i'm guessing you don't believe in the other miracles He has performed on me. before i even posted the above, the 1st thought in my mind was that people won't believe in it. days passed & my wife nor i saw it there because the magnet simply was not there. Jesus put it on the corner of the dish dispenser in plain sight. anyone in the world would have seen it if it was there before. blessings to the both of you.

Don’t take it the wrong way we don’t need to. We don’t even know the details of the circumstances. All we’re saying is that the human mind is very fallible. so continue to be blessed as the Lord has taken care of you.

Brother, I definitely believe in miracles. Back in 2008. During winter. Ice storm in my state. I used bad judgement, and slowly drove a car up small hill. Near the top. The car slowly started slipping backwards. I thought I was going to end up in real bad car accident. Suddenly, I felt something hit against back of the car and slowly, car went forward.
I believe Jesus saved my butt. My angel intervened in this situation. Matthew chapter 18. Take heed that you do not despise one of the these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven thier angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. God's election have destiny, and puroise in life. It wasn't only time Jesus saved me.

On vacation trip 2010. I was driving toward rocky mountain, new Mexico. As I got closer. Fear entered my heart. I doubted I could Make to the top. I stopped believing in my self. I was going to get off exit before I committed to going ahead. Suddenly, I felt insurgence in me. I over came my fear and struggle in my mind.
My adversity was the flesh. It made me question my faith.
2 Timothy chapter 1. For God gave us a Spirit not of fear but power and love and self control. J
Isaiah chapter 41. Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you,
Peace.

Before I became a Christian, my astro van was havings some car troubles. I never listened to Christian radio before but when my battery was reset and I turned the key, the engine came on, along with K-Love radio blasting inside. I thought it was a sign from God.

There is a lot of crazy things that God does in my life like that, daily, that I can’t even get into on here, because I feel like that is just between me and Him. My discernment tells me when he is speaking his peace into me from Christian messages. It completely fills my cup, so I can pour myself out on you guys and the world around me. Not sure if it’s a spiritual gift or if I need to be locked up in a straight jacket lol

sounds like you are highly in tune with Jesus!! in order for that to be true, someone needs to be born again! m yes, Jesus always a personal relationship with each individual.

I’m sill trying to figure out if I was born again after going to hell in a hospital in August 2010 or when I accepted Jesus as my lord and savior in April 2014. Cause in 2010, it was either God or Satan but a higher power entered my mind and told me that I had to read the entire Bible in order to get to heaven. I completed the ESV Bible for the first time this year and wound up here of all places.

i know when i accepted Jesus as my lord and savior, my entire life transformed.

I thought the miracle was that an Astro van could actually be fixed.

You have a point there. I think about the second time it broke down, I was very inexperienced with vehicles, since it was my first vehicle, given to me for free, I ended up selling it to a junk yard. They towed the vehicle from a repair shop. I got my $300, which was basically the price of the sound system I bought for it and never saw it again.

i sure do miss having an Astro van, packing all of my friends in it and heading to the beach. That was always a good time. It was probably my favorite vehicle I owned because of how big it was and what you can do with it. Sometimes I would sleep in it if I didn’t have a place to stay for the night. Once, I even took the back seat out and put it in my room to sleep on, very uncomfortable but I didn’t have anything else to sleep on at the time.

I have a large family so I have owned a number of vans. Had a conversion van once. The back seat folded down into a pretty comfortable bed.

I think that is why I like them so much. You can just get up and go somewhere and not have to stay home at night.

Ephesians 2:8, 9 & 10! "FOR YE ARE SAVED BY GRACE......." Romans 10:9 & 13, John 3:5! when anyone proclaims Jesus Christ as personal savior, you are now born again & indwelt with the H.S. & He lives with you forever. also, Romans 12:2 works in. "& be not CONFORMED to this world, but be ye TREANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND....." said person is now a REGENERATED HUMAN BEING, THINKING, SPEAKING & ACTING THE LORD'S WILL, (Phillipians 2:13). satan could have said that because it is not true. an atheist can be saved in his or her's last 5 seconds of life by TRULY & HONESTLY proclaiming Jesus. a born again Christian will certainly desire to study & learn & live the Bible.

Well, during that situation, I didn’t call out to Jesus but I did write his name on a napkin repeatedly as I was losing my mind. Not sure if that counts. Before I was taken into the hospital, I had a phone conversation with my grandmother about what I was going through and she is the one who told me that if I say Jesus’ name out loud, that demon possessed people can’t harm me. There was one guy on the bus ride home from that conversation with my grandma that was looking at me while I was suffering and losing my mind, and it seemed like he was enjoying that state I was in.

it took from 2010-2014 to completely regenerate and sometimes I still have moments of regeneration or healing but April 2014 is when I accepted Jesus as lord and savior, and when that happened, I was able to quit my alcohol addiction cold turkey, my drug addiction cold turkey and my sex addiction cold turkey, all in the same month. So it was like a radical healing. Then that same year, after years of renting rooms from Craigslist people and while I was car-less, my great grandmother passed and I was able to get a car and we inherited her house and I was able to live with family again. Having that kind of security is definitely a real blessing, though being here ten years, you look back at how hard things were. Things still get hard sometimes but in a new way, it’s more like a mental/spiritual game now.

i also was under discipleship I think for ten years with my friend Josh and I met someone on here that commands the same type of respect in Jesus name. So I am wondering what God is doing now. Not sure if I was ever really discipled though. I did just get the book The Cost of Discipleship, so I’m going to probably start reading that today.
