I wanted to be sure that I had documented the following eight miracles as a personal testimony, plus several more as cited by Bing AI, that all happened recently. Of course, the Bible is full of miracles (at least 127 of them, some 37 performed by Jesus himself), but many people completely ignore them as unverifiable stories of yesteryear. And many of the so-called "miracles" of today seem lackluster, such as the "curing" of the common cold. Documented below are but eight modern miracles to which I personally testify plus several others which are more universally testified to, defying common explanation. Ask around and interview some doctors, while being aware that most doctors have never seen a real miracle. Miracles are rare by definition. There are hundreds of similar miraculous events happening today. Oddly enough, many today will refuse to investigate. I became convinced of contemporaneous miracles shorty after being born-again in 1980, but I did not see my first miracle until a full decade after being born-again, so your miracle-seeking venture may take a while, or you may receive proof from God today!
The first one involved a young homosexual prostitute who had been told he had about two weeks to live, after being diagnosed with AIDS. Medical records show that cancerous glands beneath each armpit had swollen to the size of cantaloupes. Prior to contracting AIDS, he was suitor to several Hollywood stars, including closeted Rock Hudson, who died from AIDS complications at the age of 59 in 1985. He was working on a construction job with my close friend and had removed his shirt during a break. My friend noted the hideous scars beneath the armpits. He commented, "Oh, didn't you know? I had AIDS," and proceeded to tell the story. He had called upon Jesus Christ to heal him and give him salvation. Instantly, the AIDS was gone and the swollen glands were gone. Instantly. Within a minute, he realized he was no longer homosexual and such urges never returned. I understand that the man is now a born-again Christian missionary in Africa.
The second miraculous account happened to a girl in attendance of the Floyd Jones Bible Study on Tuesday nights in Houston, Texas. She had been assaulted by an attacker. Both her carotid artery and jugular vein had been severed. This means she had minutes to live unless the Lord stepped in. She exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" Blood was everywhere, but she noticed only a rough scar spot on her neck. Later MRI scans showed two completely-healed circular internal scars where the blood vessels had been severed. I did not know the girl well, but I was able to view the MRI scans of her neck. The external scar remains on her neck as a testimony. I concur that a miracle had indeed taken place.
And, a 3rd miracle happened near the town of McAllen, Texas. Some of my friends had visited there on a missionary "street feed" to the poor in that area, but they soon realized they had not properly planned on how many would show up. In fact, the food was dwindling to nothing, and yet there were several hundred more in line expecting a serving. The seven or so volunteers were quietly noticing the lack of food. Without so much as even saying a formal prayer, suddenly all of the volunteers were gazing in one direction and saw that a completely full pot of stew had appeared. Problem solved! The miraculous pot of stew easily fed the several hundred still waiting in line. The amount of stew that had materialized proved to satisfy the crowd to the last spoonful.
Ok, now for the 4th miracle. On a house construction project in Houston, a worker's hand was severely torn by a circular saw blade between the thumb and forefinger. A doctor friend of mine (Dr. Barbara Marino) told me that this area of the body has many nerves through it which will not regenerate if broken. In fact, human nerves never regenerate, short of a miracle. Blood was everywhere, but as he had been singing songs to the Lord, he simply exclaimed, "Praise the Lord". He insisted he had been healed to his fellow co-workers who were more interested in getting him to an emergency room. When they washed the wound in a nearby faucet, all of the blood simply washed away revealing a fully healed scar from the back of his hand toward the front. My friend, Johnny Miller, was an eyewitness.
The 5th miracle in this series. An acquaintance of mine, Steve Newark of Houston, Texas, approached me and claimed to have been healed of an aneurysm which had caused him considerable pain in the past. I was secretly skeptical because I could still see the mild deformity on his temple. I had prayed for this deformity for at least a year, but it had always remained visible and completely unchanged in its appearance. He had attended the day before a prayer meeting with several mutual friends. We parted, a week passed, and I met him again in the same place. This time, he exclaimed that under the same prayer group's prayer, he really had been healed and the aneurysm was gone. I inspected his temple, and it for the first time in the year I had known him, it had completely vanished! I concluded that an actual miracle had taken place.
A 6th miracle took place on highway I-10 eastbound, just west of Beaumont, Texas. Teacher Floyd Nolen Jones (www.floydnolenjonesministries.com) was travelling to his weekly Bible study in Beaumont with his wife and daughter (aged about 14). Suddenly, a deer crossed the highway and Floyd swerved to miss it. The car was heading for a metal railway. The daughter cried out, "Jesus! Save us!" The family emerged from the stopped vehicle, completely unharmed. The car was found in the ditch, also completely unharmed. Amazingly, the car had apparently passed through the metal railing for the railing, too, was completely unharmed! A tow truck had to assist the vehicle at least a mile from where it was found back onto the highway for the metal railing was perfectly intact the entire route. When they finally arrived at the Bible study, a praying group of saints (puzzled over their teacher's delay) started rejoicing when they heard the story. This was about 1990 when very few cell phones were available. After a couple of weeks, I inspected the site and saw a long set of skid marks leading up to the still perfectly intact metal railing and disappearing. It had not been hit. There was no disruption in the ditch where the car had landed either.
Ok, for the 7th miracle. A man's foot is crushed in Houston, Texas. He was at a service at Elim Church and was noticeable dangling a foot and shaking it in different directions. He had been completely healed about a week prior to this. In fact, the damage had been so bad that he was expected never to recover and to require metal pins for life in his foot which had been installed. After a prayer session, he was suddenly healed and could walk normally. Amazingly, upon subsequent x-ray analysis, the metal pins has vanished as well! Praise the Lord!
And for the final miracle in this series, the 8th. A group of evangelists visited Warsaw, Poland, just after the Berlin Wall had come down. One of them, Jack Park, the husband of Linda Park, was in attendance. A man with a noticeable case of cataracts was healed instantly. This began a wave of subsequent healings. In all, several hundred cases of cataracts were healed, often before each prayer could be completed, and some of them exceptionally clouded. All who came to be healed of cataracts had been healed instantly in a matter of a few hours in the name of Jesus. Apparently news of this had travelled far. I told the story to a man at the Topeka Rescue Mission in Topeka, Kansas, who was familiar with the story some 28 years later.Here are few of the more well-documented miracles of modern times (as approved by Bing AI):
The Mysterious Voice: In March 2015, Lynn Jennifer Groesbeck lost control of her car, plunging into the icy Spanish Fork River in Utah. Fourteen hours later, first responders found her 18-month-old daughter, Lily, hanging upside down in her car seat just above the frigid water. Strangely, both police officers and firefighters reported hearing an adult voice yell “Help me!” from inside the car. The voice couldn’t have come from the young mother, who likely died from the impact. Lily survived without cold-weather attire, leaving rescuers baffled.
The Woman Who Returned from Death: Ruby Graupera-Cassimiro fell unconscious during a cesarean section due to a rare amniotic fluid embolism. Doctors tried to revive her for three hours, but after 45 minutes without a pulse, they invited her family to say their goodbyes. Then, inexplicably, her heart began beating on its own. During this experience, Ruby felt herself floating along a tunnel and encountering spiritual beings. Remarkably, she suffered no brain damage and made a full recovery.
The Toddler Resuscitated After Hours: Gardell Martin, a 22-month-old boy, fell into a gushing creek with 34-degree water. Found unconscious and without a pulse, emergency personnel performed CPR for an uninterrupted 101 minutes. Gardell survived and recovered, despite the odds. His story remains a testament to resilience and the inexplicable.
Miracle of the Blind Woman’s Sight Restoration: A blind woman who had lost her sight due to a degenerative eye condition sought prayer at a local church. During the prayer, she reported experiencing a warm sensation and suddenly regained her vision. Medical examinations confirmed the restoration of her eyesight, baffling doctors who had previously deemed her condition irreversible.
Healing of the Paralyzed Man: A man paralyzed from the waist down due to a spinal injury attended a healing service. As he stood up in faith, he felt strength return to his legs. Within minutes, he was walking unaided, leaving medical professionals astonished. His medical records now serve as evidence of this remarkable transformation.
Cancer Remission Without Medical Intervention: A cancer patient with an aggressive form of leukemia received a terminal diagnosis. Despite the grim prognosis, she fervently prayed for healing. Subsequent tests revealed a complete remission, with no trace of cancer cells. Oncologists were unable to explain this sudden turnaround.
Supernatural Financial Provision: A struggling family faced eviction due to financial hardship. They prayed for a miracle, and within days, an anonymous donor paid off their outstanding rent and provided additional funds for groceries and utilities. The family attributes this provision to divine intervention.
Rescue from a Life-Threatening Accident: A car accident left a woman trapped inside her vehicle, surrounded by flames. Witnesses reported seeing an unknown passerby pull her to safety just moments before the car exploded. Emergency responders arrived to find her unharmed, despite the severity of the crash.
Instantaneous Healing of Chronic Pain: A man suffering from chronic back pain attended a healing conference. During a prayer session, he felt a warm sensation in his spine and suddenly stood upright without discomfort. X-rays taken afterward showed no signs of the previously diagnosed spinal issues.
Restoration of Broken Relationships: A family torn apart by years of bitterness and estrangement decided to seek reconciliation. After heartfelt prayers, they experienced a renewed love and forgiveness toward one another. Broken relationships were healed, leading to emotional restoration.
Protection During a Natural Disaster: A small community faced an impending tornado. Residents gathered in a local church to pray for safety. Miraculously, the tornado changed course, sparing their town from destruction. Meteorologists confirmed the inexplicable shift in the storm’s trajectory.
