Can you give any examples of modern miracles you have observed in your life or the lives of those close to you?

Certainly.

You and I have chatted several times about my mother's gift of faith. We Christians all have the grace of faith but her's was something to behold.

Whenever she laid a burden down before the Lord she never picked it up again. It was a "done deal."

And many miracles followed.

The earliest was when she was just a kid. Her cousin also a kid was hit by a vehicle and his abdomen opened up throwing his intestines onto the street. The doctors said there was no hope. All but mom believed the doctors, she prayed. He survived and became a preacher.

There are too many miracles to itemize here but I will mention her being booked for surgery in her senior years to repair a hiatal hernia. She was all packed and had prayed about it. After they did the preop xrays the doctors came to her and said there must have been a mistake and sent her home.

Her faith was so strong I really wondered whether she would ever get sick enough to die physically. The day she died, she placed the lifeline my brother got her which she had never used on the coffee table. As I looked at her I knew she want to wrap it up and going home. And she did.

And so this passage has particular meaning for me:

According to my earnest expectation and [my] hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but [that] with all boldness, as always, [so] now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether [it be] by life, or by death.

For to me to live [is] Christ, and to die [is] gain.

But if I live in the flesh, this [is] the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.

For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh [is] more needful for you. - Philippians 1:20-24

The preacher asked the family to do her funeral service. And his last words at the graveside was "Let's all go home, Jean is not here."

God's Name is I AM.

I know a surgeon who is a committed Christian who prays for and with his patients and he regularly sees people healed and has to send them home HIMSELF because the scans he read showed no sign or what originally brought the patient to him in the first place.

My own daughter was recently healed from a blocked kidney that needed a medical procedure and when she went in for it and they did the scan, it was completely unblocked and clear where she said even she could see the blockage two days before, and it hasn’t bothered her since.

She was also healed from asthma, her lung capacity tests showing the improvement in lung function.
