Miracles I Have Heard

Continuing our discussion, Nolan:

Last time I told you of miracles I have personally witnessed, this time is what has been told to me by those I do believe.  Sober, honest men and women whose testimony is solid.

• Fleeing attackers, they safely crossed a river, those behind them were devoured by piranaha
• Jail doors opened and no one suddenly around to stop escape
• Next to death, a little girl found and rescued (she later lead her entire family to salvation)
• Police do not arrest a Christian because of "all of the people gathered around him", he was alone
• Police looking for Christian materials can not find them sitting on a seat of a VW bug
• Attempting to discredit a  Missionary with a hooker, the hooker and cameraman both come to salvation
• Christian publishing and distribution inside of closed countries

These again a first cut, I could probably remember more with my caffeine levels up!

The point is God is active, He is doing big things, He goes unnoticed because even "Christians" do not believe miracles anymore.  If you want to see God's hand in action:

• Look globally at disaster and ask, "Is this to call them to Salvation?", then look at sin levels
• Look to see whom does not suffer tragedy in disaster.  Hmmmmmm.....  
• When you see an accident, consider what kept you too early or too late to have been in it
• Test God and see if he will not provide a miracle around you, you can see and know it is truly Him

Of course, being a skeptic is good too.  Not every miracle is of God.  Does what ever happened point to God?  Does it bring increased belief, faith or  show the fingerprint of God?  Or does what ever happened point to a man, whom in turn receives the glory?  Even if it is a "Christian" receiving the the glory, it is still not of God.....
