On October 20, 2006 Jeff Markin collapsed from a massive heart attack after driving himself to the Palm Beach Gardens Hospital emergency room.
The emergency medical workers and supervising cardiologist Dr. Chauncey Crandall followed standard procedure using defibrillator pads more than a dozen times trying to shock Jeff’s heart back to working order. With each passing minute their chances of successfully resuscitating the heart attack victim plummeted dramatically. After they had worked feverishly for 40 minutes trying to bring Jeff’s heart out of a flatline they had to finally call the time of death and walk away from the corpse.
That would have been the end of a disappointing but not terribly unusual heart attack case. But as Dr. Chauncey Crandall was walking away after filling out some paperwork he sensed the Holy Spirit’s voice saying that he should pray for the now officially dead heart attack victim.
By this time Jeff Markin’s body was being prepared for the morgue. Dr. Crandall walked in there and began praying for Jeff Markin. Another doctor walked in and Dr. Crandall persuaded him to once again apply the defibrillators and see if the body could be shocked back to life. Despite the utter hopelessness of the situation the protesting doctor did as he was asked out of respect to his colleague. Miraculously, Jeff’s heart responded beautifully with a perfect heartbeat and Jeff began breathing again.
He was brought back to life by faith, prayer, and one more try using conventional medicine. Thus he would live to tell about his experience while physically dead. Miraculously Jeff not only came back to life but also did not sustain any brain damage.
In his book, Raising the Dead, Dr. Crandall tells all about this and other cases of raising the dead and healings and what brought him to the place where he has joined his medical expertise with prayer for each of his patients.
I have also found a number of reports and interviews that will fill in more details about this case. I hope you find all these resources and this amazing story to be a great inspiration as you remember the declaration of Jesus Christ: I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. ~ Revelation 1:18
People around the world have witnessed feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air. This has happened in church and prayer meetings, in homes, in cars, and other places.
Many people call them angel feathers. This is speculative, but what is clear is that they are a sign of the nearness of God and heaven and his holy angels.
Where do they come from?
Are they actually falling out of angel wings? Are they from birds and being miraculously translocated into people’s homes and churches? Are they manifesting from nothing by a command of God Almighty just as the whole universe materialized in the beginning from the powerful spoken word of God?
It’s a mystery.
However God chooses to do this wonder, it is a great encouragement to saints all over the world who have discovered feathers mysteriously appearing out of thin air.
Remember that even if you don’t get feathers floating into your bedroom that the truth remains that God and his angels are with you. This is a spiritual truth that does not require material evidence. Believe in your heart that God is with you and protecting you and see how He comes through for you time and time again!
Here are two scriptures that give us God’s promise regarding this:
“For the angel of the LORD is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.” (Psalm 34:7)
“He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” (Psalm 91:4)
Here is a collection of videos showing feather miracles and people telling their own experiences with this amazing sign of God’s love.
Feathers that Miraculously Appeared Under Girl’s Pillow — A young girl in the Philippines asked God to surprise her on her coming birthday. When she was preparing her bed, she was surprised when more than thirty feathers appeared under her pillow. Feather manifestations has been appearing all over the world. It is a sign of angelic presence and God’s love and protection. (Luke 13:34)
Joshua Mills tells how a Revival started when Angel Feathers and Other Signs Manifested for a Girl — Joshua Mills shares the story of miracles happening in the arctic when a girl started to experience miracles in her room. She was reading Joshua’s book where he was discussing various miracles, and the same type of miracles started to happen in her room. As a result of this she gave her life to Jesus Christ and a powerful move of God happened in that community as other people started to experience the miracles as well – including her husband (who was a drug lord in the community) coming to Jesus. Joshua shares how her husband was upset about the miracles that were happening, and he was going to go to the place where they were happening to create some trouble. But instead he was impacted by God when he arrived, and he turned his life over to Jesus.
Additionally, Author Michael King has written a book on the subject, titled Feathers From Heaven, with the goal of explaining this supernatural manifestation, as well as giving guidance on how we can discern what God is doing and how we can know God is at work through this miracle.
The book chapters, taken from the Amazon page are as listed:
Our Personal Story – This is our family’s personal story of how we started finding Feathers from Heaven.
The Meaning in the Manifestation – This takes a look at God’s plans and purposes through this miracle.
Discernment and Deception – This answers the question “How do I know this is God?”, providing wisdom to help navigate the miracles.
Ruffled Feathers – This addresses some common concerns and objections people have about this manifestation.
Feather Stories – This shares many stories from others recounting their miracle-moments finding heavenly feathers.
How Do I Get This To Happen? – This looks at how we can partner with God to encourage our own feather encounters.
Feathers from Heaven – This is a unique transdimensional feather story meant to expand our beliefs of what is possible.
I hope you have found this article to be a blessing as you remember that God is always with you.
On June 19, 2004, a South African family had a serious car accident. The accident left their 12 year old son, Aldo McPherson, in a coma and on life support.
God did a number of miracles for Aldo and his family. God allowed Aldo to experience heaven and then asked Aldo to share a message with the world. God also taught Aldo and his family — especially his mother Retha McPherson — how to speak life and restoration over Aldo’s physical condition. In response to their obedience God began healing Aldo.
Before sharing some of the messages Aldo brought back with him from heaven and some of the lessons Retha McPherson learned, I would like to share this video documenting Aldo’s recovery process after the accident.
You can also watch Retha McPherson tell her family’s story as she is interviewed on It’s Supernatural with Sid Roth (below).
Retha McPherson on It’s Supernatural
Aldo was unable to speak after his coma so he had to write when he wanted to communicate. He began writing to tell his family and the world what he had experienced in heaven and what God had been revealing to him.
It looks like the letters included in this collection supplement the ones already published in Aldo and Retha McPherson’s books. You can see some of these very interesting letters and read more of the story in the book A Message from God co-authored by Aldo McPherson and his mother Retha McPherson, which is available as a print book or as a digital ebook in our bookstore.
Three friends (Hannah Ford, Jason Tax, and Jason Chin) were given a set of Disneyland tickets from a woman at the church they were attending that night.
When they entered Disneyland the next day they were carrying the presence of God inside them. Thus God’s power entered Disneyland and over a hundred people had a direct encounter with the power of God that day.
Hannah Ford’s brother explains how the three friends got the opportunity to share God’s power to heal and change lives with over 100 people in just one day at Disneyland.
This is amazing! God is so great!!! My sister, Hannah Ford, (music ministry website- www.hannahford.com) was at Disneyland with some friends. She and her 2 friends, Jason Chin and Jason Tax, had been praying for revival to break out. They were standing in line for a ride, and one of them began talking with a teenager. She had some physical ailment and they offered to pray for her. She was healed on the spot. It blew the girl’s mind! Hannah prayed that God would move exponentially, and before long, they found themselves praying for another kid, an 8th grade boy, a star basketball player, and the son of a medical doctor. He had injured his shoulder and could not raise it at all, and had been out for the season. They prayed for him, and he was healed! He got so excited he called his father, and then he started texting his fellow 8th graders from his charter school, who were also at Disneyland. Kids starting coming from everywhere. They were actually leaving their places in line at various rides so they could come and find out what was going on. Wave after wave of kids from this charter school came and were prayed for and told the good news of salvation through Jesus. There were numerous healings and 30-40 put their faith in Jesus Christ. Kids were crying and laughing and saying they felt lighter. There was never one massive gathering, but groups of kids would come for awhile and then move on. But in all, my sister says that they prayed for and shared Jesus with 60-100 kids. They led them in prayer openly to receive Christ at Disneyland of all places.
There is a lot more video footage which will be posted later. My sister didn’t have time to get the rest out before leaving on a ministry trip to Mexico.
This all happened on Thursday, June 11, 2009.
Here are four videos that document some of what happened during that day with more information to follow after the videos.
I went down to see my best friend, Jason Tax, in Los Angeles, just to visit for a week and hang out-and who knows what adventure the Holy Spirit might lead us into. Jay and I love to do street evangelism together. On the way down, I saw a Disneyland sign, and I remembered the times of lying on my bed dreaming with the Holy Spirit of revival inside the theme park. I thought, “Wow that would be cool if that ever happened for real.”
I had the privilege of speaking at my friend’s church on Wednesday night, and after the service, a lady asked me if I wanted a free ticket to Disneyland the following day. Yippie, Jesus. I thought, Wow! Those tickets are $94!
Jason Tax, Hannah Ford and I went to Disneyland to have a great day in the sun with the Son-and God set us up through one key miracle of a young man’s shoulder that was in a sling. We approached him and asked if we could pray for healing. Jesus instantly completely healed his shoulder and he removed his sling and began to test it out. He started crying from God’s goodness, and he told us how he could not raise it at all because of a fresh torn rotator cuff injury. He then started raising his arm over his head and moving it as freely as the other one. His friends explained how he is the star football player at their school and he would have had to take the entire year off from football after his scheduled surgery, so we explained the gospel of Jesus Christ and the miracles to the group of eight or so, and they all got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit, and two of them got healed-one of scoliosis. The other had Jesus grow out his leg as his friends all looked on.
They all started freaking out, and the heavenly momentum hit and it erupted into an all-out Holy Spirit healing miracle service in the Disneyland food court for four and a half hours as groups of young people got their friends and brought them back to us for healing. They would come to us and say, “Can you heal this?” as they would point to a lump on their knee or a bad ankle. We would answer something like, “We can not heal anything but Jesus can heal everything and that same Jesus is in you now, so everyone put your hand on this person and say, “Be healed in Jesus’ name! Now test it out.'” Really, that’s how we prayed: “Be healed! Now test it out.” Almost every healing was instant as the looks of shock appeared on the faces, then praise and cheers to Jesus would erupt from the crowd of youth!
Flat feet were healed as arches formed in front of everyone to witness. One girl was so scared as her friends dragged her up to us. She was almost crying from fear. We told her, “Hon, you have nothing to be afraid of. This is Jesus and He loves you very much.” She had extreme scoliosis and a dislocated thumb that was in a hand brace. She was still very much afraid so we told her, “We won’t even need to touch you because the glory is here. Just remove your brace and move your thumb around.” She did and her thumb was instantly healed. We asked her to touch her toes and then check her back out. She did and her friends lifted up the back of her shirt to check out her spine. They all screamed because it was now perfectly straight. Jesus! We asked her if she knew Jesus, and she said no. We told her it was Jesus who just healed her and asked her if she would like to know that Jesus? She said yes, so she got saved and then we explained to her about being filled with the Holy Spirit and she said she wanted Him, too! So we asked her to put her hands out in front of her and say, “Holy Spirit, come and fill me up. I give my life to you.” She started shaking under the power of God. God is soooo good!
We witnessed bone knots dissolve from knees, asthma healed, crooked knees straightened out, and eyes healed. Some protruding ribs were pulled back into the chest. Even gold dust showed up on many and three youths experienced supernatural weight loss as their once tight pants got looser and looser. Screams erupted as one man grew an inch taller while everyone looked on.
A super cool thing was how each kid got saved and then we prayed for them to be filled with the Holy Spirit and almost every kid felt a strong manifestation of the Holy Spirit like electricity, heat, tingling all over their bodies or a heavy, weighty presence.
They would then ask us questions like, “Can you make the sadness I feel leave the inside of me?” All their friends would say, “I feel that way, too,” so we started praying in large groups, commanding depression to leave them and joy to come. Kids were crying, laughing, yelling “Jesus,” saying things like, “I can’t believe this! This is way better than any ride here!” Those kids were getting set free. We prayed for healing for the first few kids only. Then we taught the youth that the same Spirit dwells in each of them, and then we watched Jesus heal through their hands! We witnessed around 120-140 healings, most of them instant and about 100 or so decisions for Christ, of which 50 or so were first-time decisions, asking Jesus to forgive them of their sins. Yea, Jesus! One young man came up to me and said, “I never knew that Jesus died for me,” and he yelled at the top of his lungs: “Jesus!”
With each new move of God people tend to resist at first, so I’m going to try to make this as easy as possible for you to accept and understand by giving you background information and some insights God has given me along the way.
Coins and Silverware held to the wall by power of faith and prayer on July 9, 2010
I have loaded this post with some of my favorite video footage documenting this miraculous sign and wonder.
This miracle is growing in strength as people exercise their faith. I’m trying to give a fairly chronological telling of the story of the beginning stages of this miracle so the videos included in this post will be progressively more and more impressive as you go down the page.
Okay, let’s put down an anchor now in Mark chapter 11 where Jesus made the following statement: “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
Do you believe God can REALLY move mountains in response to our prayers? Of course God can do it. But Jesus says that we need to have faith too. We have to believe that it will really be done for us. And, I’m not talking about the kind of so-called faith that we try to work up when a crisis hits us. No, I’m talking about that deep-seated faith that it WILL be done because we already have an intimate familiarity with God’s power and God’s willingness to respond to our prayers.
After we see God move some pebbles for us, we can perhaps have the faith to believe God will move a boulder for us. Then a hill. Then a mountain. Do you see how faith is built on past victories?
But someone might ask: Would it be a waste of God’s power to move some pebbles for me? Is it too SMALL a thing for God to do?
Personally, I don’t think God’s power can be wasted because his power is LIMITLESS. I don’t think my Daddy in heaven is ever annoyed at any faith-filled prayer I send his way. In fact, I think He is delighted that I believe him enough to actually start doing some of the things that He says are possible for those who have faith. He is thrilled that I am exercising my faith and that I have joy in the big AND little things he does for me.
As I see him do so-called “small” things for me, I can trust him for bigger things. That’s how faith works. A Christian does not typically pray and see someone healed of cancer before they have first built up their faith by seeing that God can heal people of stomachaches.
That’s what this new sign and wonder is about. It is about the Christian seeing God miraculously override natural forces such as gravity in the small things like pennies so that we will have the faith in the future to believe God for bigger miracles.
Although inconclusive, my research suggests that this sign and wonder began sometime in 2009 when a young person at Bethel Church in Redding, California started praying for coins to stick to the wall, poster, and other places in their bedroom only by God’s power… and the coins STUCK by God’s power. One source said it was a young man who heard God say to pray in faith for a coin to stick to a wall. Another source (my friend on Facebook who is familiar with this new sign and wonder) said it was a girl. Anyone who has more information is encouraged to post a comment in response to this post.
A handful of young people attended a conference at Bethel in March 2010 and found out about this Sign and Wonder and decided to give it a try and it worked for them too.
Eventually Scott Morrison of Georgia (USA) found out about it and began praying that God would do it for him too.
When I asked Scott what inspired him to give it a try, he explained:
“I heard of people in Bethel starting it. And I heard of some kid in Georgia who got a jar full of pennies that appeared in his room supernaturally and then he saw some Bethel kids doing it and knew what it was for.
My friend Mercy and some other people on Youtube inspired me to try it.”
Starting back in May of this year, Scott began posting some amazing videos of what God was doing for him in response to his simple, child-like faith. Here are five of the videos he posted.
Then, towards the end of May, a fellow believer visited Scott and was encouraged to give it a try. He came back to his fellowship and told his brothers and sisters in Christ about the miracle and they tried it too. This helped more Christians realize that this is not a gift reserved for the select few. This is for every believer who is willing to enter into child-like faith believing that God is in them and able to do all things through them.
I was interested in this miracle and wanted to find more videos documenting this sign and wonder so I could share it with you here.
I contacted Scott and his friends to ask them how it was done. My understanding after communicating with them was that it was because of God’s presence and power that the coins stayed up. I was told it was helpful to put aside your questioning mind and just believe in God’s power. I was also told it was helpful to have God’s glorious presence in the room by cultivating an atmosphere of worship.
From the time I first saw a video of a coin staying up by prayer, about six weeks went by without me having any success in getting coins to stay up by prayer.
One day, I showed my wife the video of the Christian fellowship putting up coins in God’s glory (the above video). After watching, she asked for a coin and prayed for it to stay up on the wardrobe door next to our computer… and it STAYED for about 2 seconds. We were in awe and thoroughly convinced that this was for real at that point. We spent the rest of that evening trying to get coins to stay up and did not witness any more miracles.
We figured watching that video helped put us in the right frame of mind to be able to do the miracle but the effects of the video quickly wore off.
Another evening a couple weeks later, we had been in worship for about a half hour and we felt God’s presence so we decided to pray for coins to stay up again and this time they began sticking on various surfaces for us.
Since that night, we have successfully prayed for coins to stay on the vertical sides of refrigerators, a blackboard, walls, metal desks, stone boulders, a TV screen, a sliding glass door, street lamp posts, wardrobe doors, the door to our house and its door frame, along with other surfaces.
Our first instinct was to try to PROVE that this was a miracle. Since then, we have learned that this miracle is meant to be ENJOYED — not proved. Trying to prove the miracle can get you into such an analytical frame of mind that the wonder of the miracle is repeatedly attacked from every angle as your mind starts taking over and trying to explain it away.
As we analyzed and explained this miracle to death, we noticed that the power of the miracle began diminishing. Because we allowed our minds to be consumed with questions and doubts, we went from putting up spoons by God’s power back to having trouble getting penny-sized coins to stay up for us. Now, as we return to that place of child-like faith and joy in God’s wonders, we are seeing our prayers increase in power and effectiveness again.
I encourage everyone experiencing this miracle to just enjoy the miracle and have fun worshiping God as he demonstrates his power. My experience has caused me to believe that this miracle is meant primarily to fill us with JOY and FAITH while we have fun worshiping our Father in heaven.
Don’t think of this miracle merely as the newest tool that will help you convince all your friends and family that God is real. Just let your faith and joy increase, which will in turn allow you to experience even greater miracles in the future — which, by the way, may be the miracles that help your family and friends discover the power of God down the road.
Of course, as in all things let the Holy Spirit lead you. I’m just trying to warn you against making this miracle all about performing and trying to prove something.
We have been programed by our churches to make everything about sharing our faith. But sometimes, God just wants to increase our faith and help us draw nearer to him.
Think of Jesus’ ministry on the earth. There were miracles for the crowds (such as feeding the 5,000) and there were private miracles for the disciples (such as walking on water).
By the way, Peter and Jesus walking on water together is an excellent example of our authority to experience amazing things with Jesus even if there is no apparent point to it except to do something that stretches our faith and to have fun being with Jesus.
Why did Jesus and Peter walk on water? Were they testing God? Were they involved in witchcraft? No! They were simply doing what they knew they could do because they had the authority to do it. Jesus had authority from God to walk on water. He could have used a boat or walked around the lake but since he could walk on water that’s what he did! He did it simply because he could. Peter thought it was neat and looked fun to walk on water and he wanted to be where Jesus was and do what Jesus did. When Jesus gave him authority to walk on the water by inviting him, Peter got out of the boat and did it too.
They weren’t asking God to prove anything (testing God). They weren’t using unholy spirits and demons to control events and other people (witchcraft). They were simply acting out their God-given right to live God-empowered lives by resting in full assurance of the authority given them.
So, I don’t think there needs to be a humongous purpose for doing something supernatural. Otherwise, Jesus and Peter would have always managed to find a way to stay in a boat when they were on the water. The other day I was watching kids playing on the playground. They were trying to get tricycles up a slide. People who are “in the box” say that tricycles belong on sidewalks. But children think differently than adults — in fact, often children just DO instead of think and, incidentally, they have more fun and joy in their lives than most adults.
Personally, though, I think God does have a big purpose for this new sign. I think this is a genius plan from heaven — think about it: everyone is familiar with gravity, everyone has walls, everyone has access to a penny or some other object. This is a sign for every person to see that miracles are available to all of us when we start having faith in God’s ability to intervene and override every situation. Also, this miracle is a clear demonstration that God’s edicts are more powerful than the natural laws he set up (gravity). One of God’s edicts says that we can do miracles simply by praying for them in Jesus’ name in faith (John 14:12, Matt 21:22, etc). This is a very visible sign that can be tested. For the Christian, there can no longer be any doubt that prayer is powerful. That encourages us to be all the more eager to pray for healings, deliverance, and other divine interventions in our lives and the lives of the hurting people around us. I’m sure that there are many more ways that God can use what some would consider a silly miracle. God loves to use the “foolish” things to confound the wise, right?
When we saw coins staying on the walls we were encouraged to have more faith in God in regards to our future and our finances. We figured that if God can hold up a coin in response to prayer, we can surely count on him to keep his promises to guide our future and provide for our material needs.
So, those are my thoughts on the purpose of this miracle. What it boils down to for me is increasing our FAITH and JOY as we LOVE on God.
Now, let’s take a look at some more videos of people experiencing this miracle. Then, I’ll wrap up with a few more thoughts at the end.
In the first video in this next set, you will see a guy who had already seen these miracles via video but then he experiences it first hand.
His reaction demonstrates that the videos I’m sharing with you today cannot convince you of this miracle and they cannot make this miracle a real, living experience for you. I’m aware of that and I’m okay with that. I just hope you feel release in your spirit to try it for yourself so that you can experience it on a personal level — then you will believe. And if you cannot experience it yourself for some reason or other, then I hope that you will at least rejoice with your brothers and sisters and thank God for their child-like faith. Remember the apostle’s words found in 1 Corinthians 12 where he says, “if one part [of the body of Christ] is honored, every part rejoices with it.” Let us meditate on Paul’s teaching on the body of Christ and be sure to love and honor one another even if we don’t understand one another’s unique giftings and functionings in service to the Lord.
Also, before you watch the next video, let me point out that after seeing bobby pins on the wall the faith of the guy in the video grew by leaps and bounds. He instantly realized that if God can intervene in the natural realm then it should be no problem for God to take care of our financial and material problems. Plus, he quickly realized that if bobby pins can be held up by God’s power then heavier objects should also be able to stay up.
By the way, did I mention that this miracle is spreading around the world as people see the videos online and try it out for themselves? We are in Asia at the moment and now some of our students are doing this miracle. One of my students told me that she has had a ring, a pair of glasses, chopsticks (metal ones and wood ones), all sorts of silverware, a book, and even a shirt stay up as she prays. Another student said he had a compass stay up for him. Several students have had their erasers stay up as they pray. They have all put up every size of coin and also paper money. Another student told me something really amazing… He said that he put two coins stacked one on top of the other up against the wall so both of the coin’s faces were touching each other and one coin’s face was touching the wall. The one up against the wall fell but the other one remained suspended in the air for a couple seconds — now, THAT’s FAR OUT!!! Another student put two coins up the same way (stacked face to face) and both of the coins stayed up together.
These are our little elementary school students who are worshiping God as they believe and see that God answers their prayers. You know, they have only been doing this for a couple weeks now. Who knows what they’ll try next week! They realize that Jesus is powerful and they are having fun finding out how powerful their prayers are.
We have also shared this miracle with friends who don’t share our faith in Jesus. You know what? Even these friends are able to do it if they have faith that it can happen for them. The other night we had a friend over who shares our belief in God but doesn’t necessarily have faith in Jesus right now. We just told her to allow God’s love-filled joy and energy to flow through her as she believed in God’s power to hold the coin up for her. It was so fun watching her faith grow as she moved from one level of experience to the next. When she first started that evening, the coins were simply falling just like they were for us when we first tried praying for coins to stay up, but by the end of the evening the coins were staying for several minutes at a time.
I’m sharing this with you so that you realize that this miracle really is all about faith and not about proving who has the right set of beliefs and doctrines. You know, if God had to wait for us to all have the perfect set of beliefs and doctrines before he could work through us, I doubt any of us would ever see a miracle in our lifetimes. But, I thank God for his grace that he extends to each one of us as we put our trust in him and let him flow through us. God is not looking for perfect, golden vessels to carry his power. He is simply looking for willing jars of clay (2 Corinthians 4:7).
Remember what Jesus said: “I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”
See? Jesus did not put any conditions on the power to command mountains into the sea except that the person commanding believe in his heart that it will happen. Apparently, the same is true for commanding coins to stay on the wall — it just takes faith / belief coming from the heart of a person to make things happen.
Besides the USA where Scott Morrison lives and Asia where we currently reside, we have also heard of these gravity defying miracles being done in France and Germany. I’m sure that this miracle will quickly sweep over the entire globe thanks to the internet and the availability of this miracle to everyone with a measure of faith.
I hope that these videos filled you with awe and worship for our Super-Powerful God who has come and made his home in us (see John 14:19-23).
A lot of people want to know why God is doing this miracle. I have given you my perspective on this already. In addition, here are five possible reasons that I saw shared on Freshwind Global Ministries’ Facebook page:
God is fun.
God is creative.
God is able to suspend natural laws
God likes to make us wonder
All things are possible.
In fact, I suppose it is in God’s nature to invite us to step out of the tiny little boat we have been living in so that we can start walking on the water with him!
If our faith in God increases… If we start really believing the things we say that we believe… Just imagine what might happen!
The article deals with many common questions among Christians including the following:
Does God really still do miracles nowadays?
If I don’t see this miracle anywhere in the Bible, can it really be from God?
What kinds of miracles does God do?
Aren’t some things like levitating only done by demonic power?
How can I know if a supernatural occurence is from God or not?
What about counterfeit miracles, signs, and wonders?
How can I know if someone is a false prophet or not?
Hope that article helps you. You are also welcome to share the article with anyone who might be blessed by it.
I look forward to seeing what you have to say in the comments section. Please keep it encouraging and uplifting. I would also love to see you sharing some of your own videos of God overcoming the force of gravity or some other faith building miracles — just put your video link in the comment you post and if the video can be embedded I’ll come by and adjust your comment so that your video can play right there in the comment area of this blog post.
One final thought: When the Son of Man (Jesus) comes, will he find faith in the earth? (Luke 18:8)
Let’s build up our faith muscles so we don’t disappoint Christ our Lord when he comes.
God bless you and may you see many more miracles!
P.S.: THIS BLOG POST WAS WRITTEN IN THE INFANCY OF THIS NEW SIGN SO I BELIEVE MORE AND MORE AMAZING VIDEOS WILL SURFACE AS THIS MIRACLE GROWS IN STRENGTH
I like instantaneous leg growth miracles. It is amazing watching the shorter leg grow out until it matches the other leg. Often people who have a shorter leg also experience back trouble so correcting the leg problem can fix associated back problems as well.
Where possible, I will include additional information after each video so you can better understand the circumstances of the healing. You will see that we are not dealing with magic tricks here. These are real people with real belief and real doubts and experiencing a testable miracle.
The first video I want to show you is just a few university students who really believe God can do miracles and they were walking around campus letting other students see with their own eyes what God can do.
Here is the information shared by the person who posted this video:
Growing legs out are an easy way to get more doors open! The last girl in the video, I missed them growing out her leg, but we just went for it and she got taller. She was completely blown away. — So after Healing Rooms (at Bethel Church), we head out to Simpson for lunch. Were eating, talking about the Kingdom, and then Ryan thinks, “Screw it, I’m never going to see these people again.” He goes to the table right next to us, asks the girl if he could check something. Had her sit down, surely enough, her legs were short. It grew out in front of two of her friends. They left surprised, and weirded out. Ryan wasnt satisfied. He went to the next table of 3 girls. Asked the same thing. All 3 had short legs. The first girl broke the ice. Got healed, prayed for her friend. Her friend gets healed. Her friend prays and the last of the 3 gets healed. We ended up going through some forgiveness and deliverance for one of the girls and she starting crying because she never felt so much lightness and freedom since she got saved. She got whacked. They were most shocked with the fact that they saw miracles from their hands. All through this time, we had BSSM 1st-years around us, because they were randomly flowing in and out for lunch (we grew their legs too, some of them, they had no idea their leg was short) By the time we left the cafeteria we saw 8 legs grow out. We walked out and we saw a guy sitting down (I thought, haha perfect set-up). Ryan accosted him his leg grew out, and then he asked us to pray for his index finger which was about a quarter-inch short. It grew out in less than 10 seconds. Haha. There were two guys standing next to him who refused our generous offer. For the next hour, we stopped Bethel students on their way to lunch, grew out their legs, Ryan ran after random Simpson students and said, Hey do you want to see something amazing? Over and over, they would hesitantly come, and sure enough, every single one that was willing, their leg was short, and then it grew! Most of them had never seen a leg grow out, let alone 2 or 3 in one sitting. At least 10 people were activated (they prayed for another for their leg to grow out). I think the total count at the end it was 23 legs that grew out. People were just blown away the real good news gospel. Jesus is alive, and Hes got some dunamis that still works today. — If you want to start walking in healing more consistently, more boldly, at any time, any circumstance, I highly recommend you to listen to this 19-part series. http://www.divinerevelations.info/Documents/Healing/JGL/JGL_Ministries.htm It is based on the teachings of John G. Lake who was the original founder of the Healing Rooms in Spokane, WA. If you listen to them, and start doing what you learn, I GUARANTEE you will (with boldness) walk in Kingdom power wherever you go.
Now, here is a cool video. A woman with a leg that is 1 and a half inches shorter than the other gets prayed for. She felt her leg being stretched and pulled supernaturally so she thought maybe she was being fooled. Thinking that maybe someone was doing the old pull your shoe trick, she takes off her shoes and discovers that her legs really are the same length after the healing. This was a turning point in this woman’s life as you will see in the additional info provided after the video.
Here is the information that was posted with this video on YouTube:
This is a video clip of Frances’ leg growing 1.5 inches at a Bill Johnson Conference in Harrogate, England. She gave her testimony the next day to the whole conference as to the reality of the healing, has seen this video clip and endoreses/verifies it. The miracle (as it is a creative miracle) happened at the end of the Healing On The Streets seminar. Mark Marx of the Causeway Vineyard, N. Ireland, was used in this. Video Clip was taken by Revd Peter Cunliffe, who interviewed Frances immediately after the miracle.
Don’t be cynical! Jesus still does this kind of stuff! (increasingly, in fact!)
By the time this video clip starts, the leg that was shorter than the other has already grown out until it is longer than the other leg (they asked the girl if she wanted to be taller). Then they pray for the leg that was previously longer so that it matches the first leg prayed for. In all she grew about 4 inches TALLER!
Here is a video of several people just following God’s leading. What happens is God gives them “clues” (like saying to them “pray for someone with a pink shirt”) and they follow the clues to the people God wants to bless. He leads them to pray for some people and they get to see a leg grow out by God’s power.
Here is the poster’s video description:
Treasure Hunt that occured on March 25, 2009 in Redding, Ca because God is good and He loves to encountered His children…His creation. And because He said we could…
One of the many miracles ministered by Rev Steven Lyn Evans on a recent mission in Geneva. “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.” (Mark 16:20)
The last video I want to leave you with is from Virginia Beach where you will see Todd White and his daughter, Destiny, praying for random people out on the streets. Towards the end of the video you will see a man’s leg grow out about an inch.
Well, there you have it. These are very visible signs of God’s power. These people have lived with very real consequences of a leg being shorter such as shoe inserts, back pain, and limping. But now they are healed thanks to some people taking Jesus at his word when he said that we could heal by his power and authority.
The other day, I had the privilege of watching a most amazing film documenting the miracles that God is doing all over the earth in our present day.
If you have ever wished that we lived in the times of the Bible when God was doing extraordinary miracles, then you should be glad that you are living in these times. God is doing a multitude of miracles everyday now.
As Blackaby said concerning knowing how to experience God’s life plan for you, “Find out what God is doing and join him.” We are invited to discover what God is doing in our time. If we get involved in God’s cause we will see him doing amazing things as he pursues his goals on the earth.
Before you watch this film (posted below), I want to remind you that in every new generation God has done new things and in every generation “God-experts” have made the mistake of coming out against what God wants to do in that generation. Don’t make the mistake that so many “God-experts” make. They think they have God all figured out. They have God stuck in a nice tidy box inside their 1400 gram brain. At least that’s what they think!
In Jesus’ own time on earth, the biggest resistance to his ministry came from the religious leaders of his day because like so many religious people they thought they understood what God was all about and what God’s plans were and what God would look like. So, let’s remember that God is so much bigger than we understand. Whether you are an atheist who thinks that there is no God, or an agnostic who thinks we cannot really know if there is a God on this side of heaven, or a deeply spiritual person who is sitting on some amazing experiences with God, please remain open to discovering something new about God. Be careful not to be like the six blind men of Indostan who only understand a piece of the elephant but think they have it all figured out.
Let’s be like children who accept whatever God is doing with open hearts. I’m not saying that we need to be gullible. But we do need to try to stay open to learning and discovery — especially concerning the invisible realm. Jesus said that it is impossible to enter the kingdom of God without becoming like a little child. Unfortunately as children many of us were deceived by adults and lost our child-like faith. We were tricked into believing that there was a toothfairy and a Santa Claus who flies reindeer and other things that we later found were not true. It is no wonder that now we also have trouble believing in angels and God who are other beings we have heard about but never actually saw.
God wants us to know that he really is there and that he really does care about us.
Now, let’s take a look at the miraculous things God is doing in our generation.
The following footage comes from the documentary filmed by Darren Wilson called “Finger of God” available in the DVD category of our new book store.
If you like what you see, you should consider watching the Deluxe Edition of Finger of God and the latest documentary by Darren Wilson — “Furious Love” also available in our book store.
Some of these Spirit-filled, supernaturally empowered people — including Roland and Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson, and Supresa Sithole — along with other people submitted to God’s Spirit have shared their stories and taught what they have learned along the way. You can watch and listen to some of their talks that have been posted at the Father’s Glory Channel on Youtube (formerly at Fathersglory.com)
Sid Roth, host of the TV show It’s Supernatural, calls Delores Winder’s healing one of the greatest healing miracles of the Twentieth Century.
Delores Winder’s website briefly describes her medical history as follows:
Delores Winder was plagued with pseudo arthritis for nineteen and a half years. She was in a full body cast and neck brace during that time. At the age of 31, her bones were aged and deteriorating she had the bones of someone in their mid 70s. Delores’s bones continued to deteriorate rapidly, and as a result, her spine, hips, wrists, shoulders, and fingers were so fragile that she couldn’t be touched. Her lungs, heart, stomach, and kidneys were all failing too.
In order to kill the pain, Delores had four spinal fusions and two percutaneous cordotomies (burning out of the nerve centers at the base of the brain), which caused no feeling on the whole right side of her body and on the left side up to her waist.
Delores was making her funeral arrangements and was looking forward to death since it would be a wonderful relief from the agonizing pain she had endured much of her life. Her one concern though was her 14-year-old son. She needed assurance that he would be taken care of in her absence.
Interestingly, God instructed her to go to a conference by Kathryn Kuhlman to find out how he would take care of her 14-year-old son. I say “interestingly” because Delores couldn’t tolerate Kathryn Kuhlman. Delores was very skeptical of Kathryn’s ministry since Kathryn was known to miraculously heal people by God’s power. Delores didn’t believe that miraculous healings could still take place in post-Biblical times so she did not trust Kathryn’s ministry. But since Delores was concerned about her son and had a promise from God that he would reveal his plan for her son if she went to the Kathryn Kuhlman conference, she chose to attend that meeting. It also helped that the particular meeting she was supposed to attend was being hosted by a Christian denomination Delores trusted and the meeting’s focus was not on healing but on the Holy Spirit.
That meeting would change her life. Not only did God reveal his plan for her son; but also, he totally healed her and restored sensation to her entire body — something that was medically impossible since the nerve centers at the base of her brain stem had been severed in order to reduce her pain.
This complete healing took place in Dallas, TX on August 30, 1975 after there was no medical hope for her and her only concern was making sure that her son would be taken care of after she died.
Since this healing took place nearly 35 years ago, Delores Winder has had many opportunities to tell her story. The brief summary I have given above does not paint the whole picture and leaves out many details including how she was actually healed. That is because I could never do her story justice. I want you to take the time to watch at least one of the video clips posted below so that you can hear from her own mouth exactly what she experienced and what happened to her.
Delores Tells Her Story and Tells What God Has Taught Her Since Then – June 2009
Now, with modern medicine’s improved resuscitation techniques, we have many near death experience stories. But today, I want to share an NDE that occured over 40 years ago.
I recently came across the amazing testimony of a sky diver named Mickey Robinson. Back in August 15, 1968 tragedy hit. The airplane was making a sharp ascent when the engines stopped and the plane crash landed. The pilot was burned alive.
Most of the sky divers were able to get out of the plane without much damage. But Mickey was stuck in the plane because his harness was caught on something. By the time he was rescued, he was severely burned over 35% of his body. He would spend 167 consecutive days in the hospital and go through years of hospital treatment and endure over 50 surgeries.
At one point, the hospital called his sister and said if you want to see your brother, you better see him this morning because he may not be here this afternoon. It was that day, that Mickey’s spirit left his body and he experienced eternity.
Or you can watch this Sid Roth interview done 3 years ago. This is also a great interview because, in addition to his near death experience, Mickey shares how his blind eye was restored and how God healed him of damage that was considered incurable by the medical community. And then there is another surprising miracle healing that Mickey reveals in this video — but I don’t want to ruin the surprise…
Both of those interviews are a summary of his near death experience and won’t take much time to watch.
If you would like Mickey Robinson’s book telling his story, check out his book ‘Falling Into Heaven‘.
A phenomenon that has been happening for quite some time now is gold dust appearing on people as a sign of God’s glorious presence being with them. It seems to have begun with sister Sylvania Machado of Brazil, and exploded further when she and Ruth Ward Heflin began to have meetings. Ruth Heflin wrote a book Golden Glory that chronicles what God did in and through their midst and how He touched lives through this miracle.
The gold dust appears miraculously — most frequently during times of worship or prayer when hearts are focused on God’s splendor and majesty.
The gold dust appearing helps remind us of the spiritual truth that God is majestic and rich in spiritual blessings. We know God is with us and when the gold dust manifests itself, this truth is confirmed and our hearts soar in praise of our Royal King who created the universe and can create gold dust, gems, oil, or any other thing he wishes to give us a glimpse of his power and greatness.
The Prophet Isaiah prophesied the following words: “For behold, darkness will cover the earth And deep darkness the peoples; But the LORD will rise upon you And His glory will appear upon you.” (Isaiah 60:2)
Today, God’s glory truly is appearing upon people.
Let’s take a look at some video footage documenting some of these gold dust miracles…
In this video you can see piles of gold dust forming on Lucy Rael’s hands
In this video you will see members of a congregation showing the small diamonds and gold dust that are appearing during their worship services.
In this video you will see gold all over Joshua Mills.
Gold dust found on girl’s hands.
In this video you will see Patricia King talking about her experience with Joshua Mills who had an angel burst a ball of sapphire dust all over him.
After listening to an audio recording about God’s power, members of the congregation find gold dust in the pews of the church (skip to 7:50 to see the gold dust).
Keith and his friends had just come home from a church service where Keith had been preaching, when they noticed gold dust all over Keith and his clothing.
Gold dust is a sign of God’s majesty and glory present in our lives. Some people think it is strange that God would reveal his majesty in this way, but we should try to let God out of the box. He has every right to display his glory and reveal himself in whatever way he sees fit! The Bible tells us that gold will pave the streets of heaven. We think this is amazing, but if God wants to use gold to pave the streets who are we to tell him that he should use asphalt? When Moses and the elders of Israel went up Mount Sinai they came into the glorious presence of God and the pavement under their feet was made of sapphire. We should not insist that God does things our way. He doesn’t have to use cement and asphalt on his heavenly roads. He can use sapphire, gold, or whatever he chooses. He doesn’t have to use human means of communication. We like words. We like pictures. But if God wants to use gold and diamonds and gems to communicate with his children, then who are we to tell him that he is doing it wrong? Nothing is too difficult for God. We should not be surprised that he is making gold dust and gems appear out of thin air. All he has to do is speak and it is done. But we should praise him and love him for choosing extravagant and creative ways to reveal himself to us.
The other day, I had the privilege of watching a
