GOOD Gracious... *boggles*
Insanity... where if the faith in this email? I guess then, you will
never believe me, a Christian who has seen mericals personally himself.
I guess if I told you that I had a vision directly from GOD and in this
dram I was told never to date the girl I had previously took out on a
date early that night? And to find out the next day she calls me up
telling me about her relationship with buda and how that GOD told her
that it was ok to do so? And there were demons in this dream taunting
me? And when I awoke up so scared and starting  to pray and saying the
name of JESUS and actually feeling like something or someone getting off
my bed?
I was single at the time, I was alone in my bed, I am telling you my
friend, I had in my opinion a visit from GOD in a the form of a vision.
When I prayed after the vision, I truly felt the evil leaving my
apartment that very moment... if you think I am lieing, I am sorry for
your own opinions.  I will admit, before that I did not believe in gifts
of the holy spirit, was never taught about them, was told they don't
exist... after that, I do believe in such things, and if I told you
today that they don't, I should be struck down by GOD himself.

I too believe in
miracles, but only when told me by those whom I trust.  I believe those
in
the bible because I trust the source, and those done at shrines such as
Lourdes as I know of people who have been there and  have had miracles
performed upon them.  I don't believe in a miracle story told me by
someone
whom I know not, or whose veracity I question.  I never ask for them
because
I am grateful for the miracles God does for me whenever I ask.  My son
is
now straightening up, I didn't loose my house after my husband died, and
I
thought surely I wood.  I am once again going to work this fall and have
been given a raise at work.  What else can I ask for.  Each of us can
point
to the miracle of wakening in the morning and to hearing the birds to
know
God is alive and he does perform miraculous things every day.  No, I
don't
believe psychosomatic illness, and cures from same are miracles.  I
think
people use these, and the fact that our Lord does miracles to entice
people
in to all sorts of things.  From giving money to frauds, to being
disappointed when they themselves are not healed.  We start thinking
"why
not
me." to questioning their faith by saying if Jesus is the same always
why am
I not blessed with healing as these others were.  They are no better
than I
as we are all sinners."  This sort of thinking becomes dangerous as it
threatenes a person's relationship with his Lord.  This is why I don't
believe in testimonies unless they come from a source whom I know to be
trustworthy such as the bible.
