Who here has seen?

[Permie]

Sadly I hardly dare say it, but whilst I believe that God's Holy Spirit speaks into my heart other than by audible or visible words, the only miraculous/supernatural thing that has happened to me is to have been taken from a home where my mother refused to allow 'God' to be mentioned iand transported nto the Family of Believers.

Otherwise this stoic, grumpy old man, considers that since I cannot even approach moving a mountain my faith is less than that of a grain of mustard.

All I can do is to sit back and envy you lucky peeps having been able to thrust your hands into Christ's wounded side.

God bless you all.....Mike.

Mike, I would daresay that you just do not recognize the mountain that you have indeed moved.

Hey Permie~

I just read that verse you gave in a whole new way! Wow!

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. John 8:59

Ahh, the pearls hidden in plain sight within scripture. Very cool! He "hid" Himself, and yet He went through the midst of them? Must've left them with their mouths hanging open!

Gentlewind

LOL, yes! There are many pearls. Since you liked that one, how about:

Jesus answered and said to him, "Because I said to you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these."

John 1:50

Jesus was there, present with Nathanael under that fig tree, but Nathanael couldn't "see" him! At this time Jesus was as we are, in a human body, but . . . He was there, under that fig tree, unseen. How could this be?

Permie, good friend, you've done your homework! (unscriptural . . . grumble, grumble) The Spirit goes where it will.

Yes, and Jesus was bodily in a different city!

Edited to add: reminds me of the time where he sent His disciples to get a donkey, where it was tied and what to say to the owner.

Yes, the Spirit goes where it will.

Having also come from a nest of unbelievers, I dare say you're arrival is a true miracle! YOU are a miracle! Is it not a miracle that I'm conversing with you from a million miles away? God knows what He's doing. When Jesus said that , "Follow me," thing---He meant it. Seek and you shall find. Ask and it will be given. Jesus loves you, Grumpy, and so do we!

'Twas an unbroke colt, too, but that colt apparantly was quite familiar with this Jesus. I've often thought animals "see" things we can't. Hehehe.

Permie, you amaze me. Got any more?

[wyguy]

I could have seen and spoken to an angel. We all could have:

"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2)

Very good! Interesting verse, isn't it?

I too believe that animals see much that we can not. While there are not examples, that I recall right off hand, of Jesus speaking to animals I have no doubt that He could and did. St. Francis of Assisi provides examples also of this phenomena.

As for other examples? Well, do keep in mind that Jesus said that all He did, we would do and more.

So, some other supernatural manifestations would have to be:

Seeing a person's soul.

Knowing a person's entire history of life.

Heard other people's thoughts.

Knew the intentions of people.

Knew what someone would do.

That's just off the top of my head. Surely, there's more.

Yes, indeed. It's one of the reasons, imo, that Sodom and Gomorrah was condemned... for the lack of entertaining strangers.
