Miracles Still Happen Today!
I believe in miracles. Even though I don’t see them happen as often as I would like, I still believe. We have one going on in our family, right now.
Glenda, my wife’s sister, lives in Oklahoma City.
Just after Glenda turned her heart over to Jesus, she decided to quit smoking. She believed in the power of prayer, no matter how it worked. One day as she was sitting at home listening to a minister on the radio, something miraculously happened. The minister asked if anyone needed prayer; if so, he asked people to take a step of faith and lay their hand on the radio as he prayed.
She was young in the Lord and full of faith. So, she reached over and laid her hand on the radio. When the minister finished praying, something happened to Glenda. From that point on, she was totally delivered from smoking. She gave God all the glory.
As life moves on, struggles have a way of tripping us up. This happened to Glenda. After two successful years of not smoking, she started up again. So, for the last 28 years Glenda has smoked everyday. At times she remembered her miracle, but could only regret losing her battle to cigarettes.
These latter years have also added a number of pounds to her body. She’s been depressed about her weight and about her smoking. Around the first part of this year, Glenda decided in her heart that God is powerful and able to help her with her frustrations.
She began reading her Bible more each day. She prayed hard about her situation. She exercised her faith…and Jesus empowered her. Once again, a miracle has happened! She has been delivered from smoking; and on top of that, she’s lost an enormous amount of weight. Usually people gain weight after they quit smoking. Not in Glenda’s case.
It’s been several weeks since this happened. Glenda is still doing great. My wife talked with her this morning. They had a wonderful time in fellowship; giving God the glory for what He has done.
Do miracles still happen today? You bet they do, and Glenda is a living testimony of God’s goodness.
