Many a times in our lives we might have heard about miracles....the lame walk,the deaf hear,the mute start speaking and so on......but the science says it is not because of god it is because you constantly feel in you mind that you are going to get healed if you pray to god.....its only that thought that make you cured of all your ailment.....
There is a book called secret by Rhonda byre...where she says it is all attributed to the "Law of attraction" that positive though makes a difference in your life....it helps you reach your goals......
If you ask me I believe that miracles do take place it is faith that drives you to a miracle.....what do you feel?????
Have you ever experienced any kind of miracle in your life which you feel was virtually impossible????
Please share your views.........

Of course miracles do happen, sometimes when people do get heal for certain illment and become sick again sometimes it's because of sin, miracles happens everyday in our lives and we don't recognise them. Take for example sleeping and able to wake up alive every morning or each time we rest and awake when our bodies had enough rest, Is'nt that miracles? Many people slept and never wake to see another day.

You are right.....i have seen people getting cured of their ailment and then they merrily return back to their sinful life.....and when they fall ill again, they blame it on god........Thanks for your response....

Man has always been real good at explaining why something can't happen if he can't make it happen. Our christian teachers are pro's at this. They can't teach the real truth about Miracles without making themselves look like they are less than what they should be and they are not going to do that. The few Miracles we can witness must be done by God Himself because there are no people around that have the power to perform them. I don't think this is what God had in mind when he allowed Jesus to die on the cross.

Hi John,
Man has always been God's favorite tool He could use to do His work on this earth. However the men God can use at this time are few and far between. This has been programmed out of us. It should be a natural way of life but man's teaching has destroyed it. They should be people on this earth right now that could do anything Jesus did. Man just had to figure pout a way to make a profit off christian teaching and when he did he destroyed the entire Teaching system Jesus set up. Now we all sit and watch our loved ones suffer and die and we are powerless to prevent it.
If we are to ever be able to perform the Miracles as we should we are going to have to completely rebuild our Christian teaching system exactly how Jesus set it up. That is the only way we will ever be able to get back close enough to God where He can freely use us to do what He wants done on this earth.
Most of the Miracles we see now don't involve man. They are done strictly by God. In 1996 we had a huge tornado hit my little home town. It destroyed 1300 of our best homes. It happened at 11:30 PM when everyone was home in bed. There were very few even minor injuries. Not a single person was killed. That was indeed a Miracle but it was performed by God for man's sake. We need to understand that God must first have our permission to use us. If He has that then it is just a matter of Him personally teaching and guiding us where we will be worthy of Him using us. We also need to understand God always works in a way where they can be doubt that He was the one that did the work. Only true believers will know the truth when a Miracle of God Happens.

Its called the placebo effect. Doctors give placebo medication to patients that think they have a problem, but don't really. Also its used for some mental patients. Its basically a sugar/water medicine in pill form ,etc. that they take for their problem, with no medical benefit whatsoever, (they don't know that), and wallah. Problem goes away. Its also done using hypnosis, and other methods. Do I believe in miracles? Yes. What they are; how they are done....no clue. Science. Maybe. There's definitely some power that exists that can control every atom that exists. Everything is connected in some way, and controlled by this force.
have a great day@John4Christ (1597)

yes absolutely, it's positive thoughts and actions that make all the differance, and drive us to a miracle, i could'nt have said it better.
Infact i have witness to a few incidences, where purely out of true faith and positive attitude an irreparable damage(cancer) was reversed.
if there is will power and the faith in God to help us through, everything is possible.

First of all, I would like to say two things. I am a Catholic and have been brought up that way and I have read The Secret. By saying so, I mean I can see both your views.
Lately, I haven't been the best Catholic around and this has happened because of a few negative factors in my life. Some of which I wasn't prepared to face, or maybe was used to react at differently. Because of this I have distanced myself from faith and was thinking bad things.
Then I read The Secret and honestly, it has changed my life. It's not that I have been receiving tons of things, but it has changed my mental view of things, and strangely enough it has brought me closer again to my religion. Some of the laws of attraction talk about being thankful and sometimes, we as Catholics, are used to ask for things but are not thankful for what we receive or we simply forget about it, but being happy about what we have is the first important attitude in our life.
So miracles... impossible miracles? I believe that every single breath is a miracle. A family is a miracle and being with the ones you love is a miracle and God teaches us to love our neighbor while the secret tells us to be grateful. Together these things can bring about huge miracles.

It always happen, miracle is always happen. When you wake up in the morning, its a miracle, when you are healthy,its a miracle. Miracle always happen. When it comes to healing, I believe people with strong faith heals quickly, because they pray to God, they ask for it and they believe that God will give it to them so they heals quickly. I believe God is behind everything. God gave human being a knowledge and decision but when it comes for the impossible to possible to happen, its the hands of God that will decide.
Here is my story:
I was one of the students who have given a scholarship when I was in highschool. We are not rich and my parent salary is only enough for the house billings, my parents told me that they can't take me to college so I must stop schooling when I graduated in highschool. Everyday I go to church, I pray for God to show me how can I continue to study because I really wanted to graduate and have a degree. I keep on asking God everyday and I believe in God that He will give what I am askin. After a month my teacher give us a copy of registration for scholarship exam and I am included on the list so I was so happy then. I know that it was Gods way, he is giving me a way to be able to continue my study and that up to me if I passed I will have scholarship, if I didn't well I have to look for another way. But I passed and I did graduate from college and earned my degree. For me the miracle is Gods ways, the faith is ours.

I believe there is a miracle, and I also read a book called the secret. I used to live in secret in the attractiveness of the law said. Sometimes, I am not happy, I am constantly in the minds of said to myself: I am very happy, I am very happy......", moment, I have really very happy, and that is not unpleasant.

I try not to put all of my faith in science, because science is wrong more often than it cares to admit. lol :)
I believe that it is God Who gives us miracles, not some inane "law of attraction" thought up by a fallible human being.

the seed of all miracles is not difficulty but rather impossibility..
