Miracles of Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

The thunder rumbled; lightning flashed in the darkening atmosphere. Olaf believed that God could divert the storm, so that is what he asked his heavenly Father to do. When Olaf put forth his petition before Heaven, the storm...

Two years ago, my mother suffered an ischemic stroke. (This is a life-threatening condition that had cut off blood flow to the brain, killing brain cells, and left her left leg and arm paralyzed.) To minimize the risk of reoccurrence, she was put on blood thinners to keep her blood from clotting too easily. Now, almost two years later, the caregivers reported that her fingers kept bleeding. This continued for...

I was awakened at a very young age to what sounded like fighting in my parent’s bedroom, and what I saw was something no child should ever see, and that was the abuse of my mother and the raging temper of my father. We moved a lot, and in my child’s mind, I didn’t understand why we moved more than other pastors’ families. I would settle in and make friends, then we would move again, changing schools every few years. As I grew into middle school and was old enough to understand, I became aware of...

All of us began to boot up our computers so we could accomplish the project list for the day. Michelle tried several times before expressing exasperation that hers remained silent and black. Even the software engineer in the house could not revive the equipment. Remembering that we had not consulted with the Lord that morning, we stopped and gifted our hands and minds to our God almighty. We then returned to our business. Michelle clicked the “on” button one more time, and...

All of a sudden, I woke up. I noticed I was halfway done with my trip. I wasn’t sure how I had gotten to this town. I was in a daze. "When did I pass this store? When did I pass this town?" I began to question myself. Then, I realized I had been asleep for...

Friday, April 8, 2022, the miracles began. The drilling rig and big trucks arrived in Talek, adjacent to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, late in the day. While awaiting the MVO president’s arrival, the workers discovered...

It was a beautiful sunny day in Jamaica. Just the kind of day that calls a person to spend time outdoors. My oldest daughter and I had taken the opportunity to enjoy nature and go swimming in the Alligator Pond area. We were enjoying the refreshing coolness of the water, diving underneath, splashing, swimming, and just having an enjoyable recreational time together. Suddenly, our relaxing, playful day...

After the closing prayer, people broke out in song, praising God for the healing miracle. As I stood to greet the people at the door, the pain started again. However, the following evening as I stood at the pulpit, the pain once again disappeared, only to...

“So why did you move here?” inquired Bill, the son of my landlord. “A divine appointment.” The answer surprised him, so I knew I had his ear.
