I’ve been thinking about this lately.In the following 1 Corinthians 12:10
4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another MIRACULOUS POWERS, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
mentions Spirits gift of miraculous powers among others. Now I am not saying that I don’t know anything about it but I was wandering are there any stories recent or from the past that mention some examples of any people who have had or have these miraculous powers and how they worked?
Thanks
I don’t like telling people about what happened to me because I still think that, what happened to me was, well, just a fluke, and not really a miracle.
I smoked for years, not just the odd one but 20 a day. I enjoyed smoking and never even thought about quitting.
So one day last year, I went to the supermarket to do my shopping, and in the way back, I thought about having a cigarette with a cup of coffee.
I was looking forward to it even.
when I got home I put the kettle on and went into my bedroom to collect my cigarettes and was just about to pick one out and something came over me.
I can’t even begin to describe what it was. It never spoke, it just left me with an invisible message not to touch it.
I stood there, and within a minute it left. All I got was a sense of “I best do as it says”. Even though I never heard anything in particular, I just got a sense in my spirit not to smoke again. Whatever happened just took me by surprise.
I quit cold turkey and I felt bad for the first weeks. Then a few weeks ago I tried one to see what would happen. It felt disgusting.
now I say this WAS a miracle, because I never wanted to quit.
I’ve no real idea what it was but whatever it was took my desire away to smoke for some strange reason so suddenly and out the blue with no word of a bye or leave.
I do scratch my head over this when I think about it, but I don’t get anywhere so I don’t tell others as I think people will laugh at me.
