Hello, fellow bros and sisses! Well…once again, we don’t have a sermon made up for you guys. Things came up and none of us could spend the time writing a sermon. So, I thought we could all share testimonies of God’s precious miracles in our lives if any of you want to. This is not really a sermon, like the LOVELY LOVE!!!! Thing, but just a thread where we can all share what awesome things God has done for us, all while glorifying his Almighty name. Please, don’t be shy. If you want to, please share some of your testimonies of God’s Miracles with us. I know that He does THOUSANDS of Miracles for each of one of His Children!
Well, I guess I will start.
Man, in the short year I’ve been a Christian, SO many miracles have happened to me. Where do I begin?
Well, this may seem very…strange…and stupid, but this is was cool to me. I was playing a game called Resident Evil 4, and something odd happened (I know that sounds strange). I was playing the game, and I was nearly dead because an enemy (here’s a link to an RE 4 video incase you want to know what the enemy looks like http://youtube.com/watch?v=l3JET8zyEAw) had thrown an ax and hit me it the head. I know what you’re thinking, why am I bringing up a video game? Something that reassured me of God’s willingness to help happened. Ok, in RE 4, the enemy can swarm you VERY easily. When that happens, you better make sure you have LOTS of ammo! Well, I was nearly dead, and I was getting swarmed by a bunch of knife wielding maniacs. It got to the point where I was like, “Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh good golly miss Molly! I’m so dead!” Surely enough, my character was about to die. So, out of nowhere, I said, “Lord, help me!” You know what happened? No matter how close the Ganado (that’s what the enemy is in RE 4) got to me, I was able to take them out without getting hit.
That’s when I knew for a fact that the Lord loves me, no matter what. You see, I’ve always been a nerd of things. Books, video games, school, music, movies, series (like Star Wars), history, etc. are things I just adore, and I thought that since I was Christian, I had to stop liking those things. I was willing to accept it, but a part of me was hurt. Really hurt. But the thing is, Christ loves us for who we are. He made us the way we are for a reason. I know that God made me a nerd for a reason. So, that was a miracle because I then knew that God loved the nerd in me. Of course, it’s not like He’s gonna help me whenever I’m having a bad game, but that was a reassurance that I really appreciate. God RULES! I love Him, as we all do. He’s the best!
LOL. I love this miracle. One time, I had a 3-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, and I had nearly finished it. I was kinda like “Oh, man…(then I would remind myself, “James, you drank it!” )” because I LOVE Mountain Dew. I think that Mountain Dew, pizza, and Snickers bars are some of the sweetest gifts God gave to us wink . Well, I left the rest of the soda in my room so that I could go to school. When I came home, it was half full. I looked at it for a second, then said, “Huh…. that’s interesting…” kinda like Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean would say. Haha, that was cool. God totally did that as a surprise. Hehe, the goof ball.
Recently, two health issue happened to me. First one was this.
Quote:
Yesterday, while my big brother and I were at the store, I had this crippling back pain. I've had this pain come out of nowhere for years, and each time I could hardly walk. It usually lasts an entire day. My brother and I had walked to the store, so we had to carry all the groceries home. We bought some heavy stuff, and with crippling back pain, chances are I wouldn't have been able to carry it. So, I prayed to God to take away the back pain. Within a minute, the pain was completely gone and my back felt great. Not much of a miracle, but it was AWESOME! Praise the LORD!
That was GREAT! Man, I haven’t had that back issue since. I love Jesus. He still does His healing thing! The second health issue was that, and I’m embarrassed, but I was having bowel issues, and I was like gonk As I was in the bathroom, I prayed to God to heal me. Instantly I wasn’t having bowel problems. It was gone. Once again, God RULES!
The most memorable miracle that ever happened to me was when I was at school. During class, I was thinking about a person who is very dear to me. I was thinking about how much I care about this person. I was feeling really happy, when suddenly I was attacked once again. The devil was flooding my mind with thoughts of this person getting horribly tortured, raped, and other things. I was nearly in tears, thinking to myself, “NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!” I was quite visibly upset. Well, as I was being brought down to my knees again, The Lord decided it was time to kick devil a**! I was in pain, but then, this AMAZING force just flooded me! It felt like something was pushing the demons out! It was the Holy Spirit, doing it’s magic. When I thought the devil had me pinned again, the horrible thoughts were taken away, and replaced by an image I’ll never forget. This person was up in the clouds, and you know who was with this person? Jesus. Jesus was giving this person a BIG hug, and this person looked incredibly happy. I went from gonk cry to blaugh . After that, I was sold on following Jesus. Praise the Lord indeed!
Well, this miracle was the best miracle to ever happen to me. When the spiritual warfare was happening, the Lord never let me go. He was there, and He was going to help. When I prayed, He’d either say yes, no, or wait…there was a lot of waiting, but in the end, He cured me. It still happens, but it’s gotten to the point where it rarely happens, instead of every second of the day. Man….I can’t express the gratitude there. Someday I’ll find the right words….maybe I should hire a poet.
This will be the last miracle I type up. I hope that you guys decide to share yours as well!
Well, there are a lot things about me that I wish I could change. You know how it goes. There are lots of things I wish I didn’t do, or that I wish I hadn’t done (sins, foolish stuff, etc.). It’s all part of being human, I realize. Some people seem to find me annoying and don’t like me for a quality of me that I know isn’t bad. I love to encourage people. I really do. I love to compliment people, I love to help them out anyway I can. That wasn’t the case years before, but that’s how I am now. However, I guess some people just don’t like that. People have told me to my face that they find me weird for that. It gets discouraging. It’s tempting to stop doing that. Very tempting. But whenever I feel like I’m not liked, and that I want to stop being how God made me, Jesus always reminds me it doesn’t matter what others think. I am who I am, and that’s it. God is very encouraging, and I will always take comfort in that miracle.
Well, that’s all I’m going to share right now. I hope that you all decide to post stuff too!
