I heard this great testimony in church a couple of weeks ago from a gentleman who was up here in Chicago from Florida visiting a family at our church and giving his testimony at a few churches:
The man was in dire need of a liver transplant and was in a coma for 3 months. That whole entire time his wife stood by his side in faith praying for a miracle, while the doctors gave him no hope to live. The gentleman came out of his coma, received a new liver and is in perfect health today with no ill side affects.The last page on his medical report simply states: miraculous recovery. This gentleman now preaches in a Hispanic community in Florida.
I love testimonies because they are just a greater witness to the power of God. Many people fall into the "seeing is believing" concept of thinking so miracles are one the more powerful tools we have.
In the Miracle of the Nobleman's Son, there was a man who traveled to Cana to solicit Jesus to come and heal his son who was on his death bed. The man had already heard about the miracles that Jesus was performing in other cities. Jesus told the man, "Go your way, your son is healed".
Now Jesus didn't even travel to the place where this boy laid, he just simply told the father to go, your son is healed. And sure enough the man traveled back home to find his son healed.
An interesting note to all of this is:
Jesus was in Cana in the past and performed His first miracle there, turning water into wine. So, if that first miracle in Cana never would have happened, might this Nobleman have argued with Jesus to come to his son to heal him instead of just taking Him at His word that his son was healed?
Miracles happen everyday, so what's stopping us from just plain old trusting in God for the miraculous?
Simple answer: Faith
