For years, I didn’t think miracles existed other than in the Bible… BOY was I wrong!
The one that comes to mind for me was when God miraculously healed my best friend, Weez. She and I have been friends for over 25 years. We met when I came to the Christian radio station she worked at in Morris, IL. I was Mornings and she was Middays. Her son was diagnosed on the Autistic Spectrum, as was mine, so we became fast friends. We have walked through the ups and downs of life together; her sister dying of cancer, my grandma dying from Alzheimer’s and so much more.
She started getting out of breath walking, even the shortest distances; her heart would race and she would be close to passing out. Many doctor’s appointments followed until finally, they did a test that nearly killed her.
The diagnosis was postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, better known as POTS disease. Basically, it reduces the volume of blood that returns to the heart after you stand up. When I say she went from bad to worse, it nearly broke my heart! My best friend, Wonder Woman, who could do anything was now reduced to a rolling seated walker and a nebulizer.
So many of us prayed for her. One evening she was asked to go to a prayer meeting. People laid hands on her and prayed for a very long time. To quote her:
I just felt something change inside of me and I knew in that instant God did a miracle inside of my body! I didn’t feel awful any longer! I could walk without my walker; I didn’t get out of breath!
When I heard her say those words to me and SAW the change, I asked for God’s forgiveness that I didn’t believe He did miracles anymore!
I told this story on the radio and many people reached out to me with their testimonies of miracles in their lives. Here are two that stood out to me:
“Too many to count. 2 instances that come to mind however, here’s the first. The year was about 2000, maybe 2001, and I got in to an accident that totaled my car (woman ran a stop sign). I’m ok physically but my car is a mess. As soon as I get off the phone with 911, my mother out of nowhere is the first one on the scene. I was so shaken up at the time, I had forgot to even call my mother.
Second story was around the same time period maybe a year later, I’m living in the golden triangle. Financially I didn’t have a lot of extra spending money but I needed a new Bible. I go to the Christian bookstore to basically window shop since I couldn’t actually afford a new Bible at that time. I find the one I wanted and began to pray about it. Well, I was doing pest control at that time which meant I went to different houses throughout the day. Long story short, I visited this woman’s house for a job and on her counter top is the exact Bible I had prayed for unopened on her counter. She handed me the Bible and told me the Lord wanted me to have it. I still use it to this day. Thank You Jesus!” | Christopher
“When I tell this story, most people don’t believe it. When I was around 5, my parents took me to the beach. They were very young and talking to each other and not watching me..I went into the water and wanted to get it up to my neck but I fell into a hole and went under water. A voice said ‘Roll up like a ball and you will bounce back to the beach.’ I did. I got sand on my rear and knew I could stand up..I looked for my parents ..they were a way down the beach.” | Donna
If you’ve experienced a miracle, tell someone! Sharing your testimony won’t only strengthen your faith, but also will help strengthen the faith of others.
Top 7 Most Awesome (and Hard to Believe) Miracles in the Bible
When I’m not here at KSBJ I’m hanging out with my husband (Don) and a “soon to be” puppy (keep praying on this one y’all!) Our boys are all grown and live in the Midwest still…and this mama misses them terribly! Cooking/baking is a passion of mine, so if you’ve got a recipe for me, I’d love it!!
