I would love video if anyone has it. I am looking to increase my faith.
Be careful in seeking miracles and signs. Mathew 16:4
An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.” So he left them and departed.
Woman gave birth to a baby girl. Took baby home. A few days passed and the woman noticed that the baby didn't cry or make any kind of sound. She took her baby to the doc. Doc says the baby is a deaf mute. The woman took her baby to the pentecostal church that her brother attended. The church prayed for the baby. Her ears were opened and her tongue was loosed and she began to sceam at the top of her lungs.
I was in a service where a woman 's ear, deaf from birth, was opened. She was so thrilled! WOW. FRANKLIN WALDEN was the minister who prayed for her.

I will share 3 back cases and 2 diabetes. I and a doc in Omaha prayed for her patient who was morbidly obese and we saw a drop in blood glucose by 100 in 24 hours. Another sister sits near us in church. In the first of april, I prayed for her and she unknown to me left her insulin, was healed and told the pastor 2 months later. I did give her an abreviated testimony of another healing and told her she would be healed.
3 backs.
One was a hispanic construction worker. I asked him something about how he walked. I don't know why. Then he told me he had to go back for L4-5 discectomy. I asked him a couple of 3 questions and he confirmed a ruptured disc. I prayed over him and told him to have the doc take some more "pictures" he was painless and fine. No surgery. Another one was using a walker and middle aged with deossification and degenerative spine. She showed a lot of pain. She drug herself with a walker and wouldn't miss church. I got out of line before the preaching was over and stood up and walked to her and put my hand on her head , prayed and told her 3 things. She shot out of her seat, went running to the front, by herself and started spinning around. She was "healed".
Opps, next Sunday she was back in church and gripping the walker. The Spirit told me she now had a demon that needed to be bound. When she was delivered she was back and fine and has been fine for several years. The medical symptoms were almost exactly like the demon symptoms.
Another man I had spent a lot of time with in Home bible studies developed severe back problems. His symptoms and trips to specialists checked out. In the final stages I prayed for him and they cancelled his surgery. He was healed. His "thoracic cervical spine issues" never did show on myelograms or mri at the VA. God healed him alright and it was a demon in his head and not orthopaedic problem. It was a demon. It was revealed to another pastor in the spirit that this was a "fake" medical and real demon deal and not a real medical problem. He doesn't come to our church anymore. I believe the pain was very real.
Gotta admit folks I don't think I've ever seen a true miracle. In the 12 years I've went to church, not once did I see a demon cast out, someone raise from the dead, or a healing. By healing I mean - cancer healed completely immediately without drugs, brain damage healed, AIDS healed, or someone with a true physical handicap made whole, etc. I've heard stories from other saints claiming someone split their head while running the aisles and God healed it instantly.
If you've seen a true, 100% miracle please tell your story!
I've seen countless demons cast out. Experienced sleep paralysis, seen spirits, etc. I've heard many testimonies regarding healings in the local assmeblies I'm a part of, even though I've never seen one.
The first "miracle" I ever witnessed was one that occured in my life. I was at my grandmother's home (who was my only saved family member at the time). She lived on farmland, and me and my cousins had a habit of exploring and playing with things (rats, snakes, birds if we could catch them, etc). We were ignorant little city kids that had no clue how to act out in the country and we went wild with the open space. I think I was 8 and me and three of my cousins found a young copperhead, we thought it was dead because it didn't move, so we started playing with it. We poked it with sticks, picked it up, tossed it, etc (why I haven't a clue). Eventually we got distracted and ran to play with something else. Two minutes later we see my grandmother chasing the young copper head with a shovel (yes it was indeed alive). My grandmother, once she killed the snake, came and spanked all four of us. (We deserved it). Later on I asked her why the snake didn't bite me (I was the main one playing with the snake and the oldest of the four of us) and she simply said she saw the whole thing and God spoke to her while we were playing with the snake and told her he'd shut the snakes mouth. Later when I was saved 8 years later and called into ministry 10 years later my grandmother confirmed it by saying God revealed that he'd call me to preach to her as well that day. That was my first run in with the hand of God.
OK, I guess I have never seen a miracle - at least not what is being qualified as one here - like the obvious raising from the dead or healing of leprosy type of thing Jesus did. Seems to me the primary purpose of such would be establish Christ as authentic and distinguish Him from those using slight of hand and trickery.
I think Jesus would very much welcome questions and verification. Why is that not so today? Why are those asking veracity immediately labelled faithless or unbelievers?

Is it a bad thing that I have not seen a miracle? Or that I don't desire one to validate His reality in my life?

I've stated repeatedly here and elsewhere that I believe in miracles and yet when the most miraculous of miracles are reported and I ask for verification, I am treated like Satan's hell-spawn followed by "well, NOW I'm not going to offer any proof you swine!" (just like any good inventor of perpetual motion machines when asked proof by the media). In fact I remember being banned for a week here a few years ago when I DARED to doubt the validity of a word-o-knowledge given by a visiting evangelist to Steadfast's church.
