I understand your position. I think a lot of stuff is getting conflated. Different types of miracles are getting conflated into one type of miracle .
Conflated? No Brother, not by me. It's about faith and believing God word. I've posted quite a few of testimonies here of miraculous things happening for me when I prayed and the need was great. And over time even when the need was not great but the belief was still there. I even had the Lord answer a prayer of mine that I was about to pray, but remembered in His word it says, don't worry about what you will eat or drink because the Lord knows your needs before you ask. So I did not pray that prayer, and didnt realize it at the time, but that by standing on His word it was an act of faith, so He answered it immediately!
So there are the miracles, the little things that happen that seems to be to good to be true. You pray for A and then A happens shortly after in a way that just seems impossible for mere coincidences.
That's exactly how it happens. Would you like to hear one of my Testimonies in that area?
I was self employed and living in a renatl house a 3 BR place for $1000 a month. I lived there for years. My landlord knew I was self employed and so sometimes I was short on rent. And he would let me slide until I got a job and I would catch him up. But the economy was slowing down and I was getting further and further behind. Business was slow and I was scratchin'.I was recently divorced and she didnt take much, just the gold and money, lol. I had knick knacks from a house of a 26 year marriage that I didnt need in a bachelor pad. SO I strted a garage sale to make a few bucks to help out and maybe help make some behind payments on the rent! All the garage sale really did for me was feed me some more. It didnt amount to enough to make back rent payments. Nevertheless, I was a ful $2000 behind so I set up the garage sale in my detached garage on the inside and would open it up occasionally on sunny days. One saturday I'm sitting out there in the driveway doing the garage sale and my landlord pulled up. He siad I like you Ed but I have bills too and I need to get someone in here that can pay more consistently than you do. Oh, I also had a $300 Utility shut off notice for Monday and this was Saturday. My landlord handed me my 3 day notice and left. Man! I had visions of being homeless! I got depressed. And I sat down and prayed my heart out, Help me Lord. Please. I dont want to be homeless. I've never been homeless.
It was getting dusk by that time so I closed up the garage sale and went back in the house to ponder my woes. I went downstairs to my chair and sat down and as soon as I sat down the phone rang. Hello? I seen your ad about the garage sale, I'm working right now but I'd like to come by and look at your things in 1 1/2 hrs if that is ok with you?
You sure can!
He showed up right on time that he said he would and I took him out to the garage where I had built two 4X* tables out of plywood and had everything set up. And as soon as he walked through the garage door, he said, How much do you need? I dint now what to say to a question like that so I went into salesman mode and started picking up items for sale and talking about them and stuff. And he took it and didnt even look at it, he just sat it down and said, how much do you need? And I went (TILT) like a pinball machine! I didnt answer him. What's he even asking? I dont know him, he's a garage sale customer. And we talk some and he asked me the same question again, how much do you need? (TILT!) I bet he asked me that same question 10 times or more! That was weird and I...had no clue so never answered him that question and finally I suppose he got tirred of me not answering and he says, Well how about $1900 for everything on that table right there?
And I was pretty sure he was was joking, so I didnt answer that either!
So he said, well how about $2400 then? and then I knew it was a joke and I wanted to hear the punch line! So I said, that's fine, to see what he would say...
Because people who buy at garage sale do not talk the price up! They talk it down. I was in full TILT mode and wanted that punch line! And the punch line was he counted out 24 $100 dollar bills and handed them to me, and stuffed a bigger wad back into his pocket!
That stuff was not worth $2400 dollars! No way! Not even close. Who was this guy? He was fit and well spoken, well groomed. He didnt act like an idiot who had more money than brains, so what's going on? And I came back to reality for a second and asked if he wanted some cardboard boxes to box it up and he said yes thank you. And as we were putting stuff into the box, he would pull stuff back out of the box and put it on the table and say oh you can keep that, I wont need it. That either, or that. And he left about 25% of everything that he bought sitting on the table. And we loaded up his truck and shook hands and he drove off. I locked up the garage and was trying to figure out what just happened? I went back into the house and on my way back down the stairs into the family room and I put my hand in my pocket and felt that wad of cash and said, Praise the Lord...and then it hit me! Not even two hours ago I prayed for help and I now, I have enough cash to catch up my rent in full AND pay off my Utility shut off Notice! AND a $100 bucks for groceries! Praise the Lord!
That was no coincidence. Mt soul was there to witness all that happened and was said and hat ignorant dude still tries to argue with me and say, that wasnt God, that was something else. I know better now! I was there. I think I was being restrained from being able to realize it was an Angel before he left.
I cant explain what happened in natural way at all. Garage salers do not act like that. They say will you take $2 if has a $10 price tag on it. Not how about $1900? Well how about $2400 then?
How's that? It happened just like you say. Can you explain what could have happened in a non supernatural way? That's the only answer I see.
