another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit,
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healings
by the same Spirit,
10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy,
to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of
tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues..
Many Needs are Not Caused by Sickness but Malformations and Accidents
Accidents, mutations, malformations and the like need a miracle and not a healing to be performed in order for their release and restoration to normality.
Jimmy Maynor
At twenty seven years old he was four foot seven inches tall and weighed 90 pounds in weight. Not only was he a pigmy in stature but he was involved in a road accident that left him hospitalised for more than one year with broken back and spine and hips.
HE NEEDED A MIRACLE AND A BIG ONE AT THAT.
And that's just what he got. Crying out to God, if there was one, one day left our man limp, soaked in perspiration and yet with a word from God that changed his whole life.
God told him, in his heart, to study His word as much as he watched the television. Now our little friend watched the television for eight hours a day and so this now allowed him to study the bible for eight hours each day.
Eight hours a day of reading God's word. Well he wondered if he could do it, but God had told him what to do and so he did what God said. After some weeks of following this requiem our little friend came across the scripture that said...
Mark 11:23 "For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."
Then the crying out to God as what this meant and the effect of it all and the meditation on this word over and over again. He knew it was important. He knew it held a key for him.
Whatever he says,....whatever he says....who? The person who says it. Not God but the person. Mmmm it would have to be in God's will. Wouldn't it. Certainly it would because God could not sanction things against His nature. So was healing within His will. Our little friend found out that it was. Jesus always healed all who called on Him.
So the day came when he had to put it to the test. Still strung up in hospital with things attached to his body and legs......he took the bold approach and began taking them all off. He slung himself to the edge of the bed and , feeling sick in his stomach began to walk as a normal person commanding his body to better and to come into normality the way the scripture told him. Hesitantly at first then more boldly as strength came to him from deep within.
He began to walk towards the hospital doors.....signing himself out to the horror of the doctors and nurses who did not share his faith.
He walked out and never came back totally healed.
In itself a working of miracle that was second to non but our little friend did not stop there. The scripture burned within him. He owned a little shop selling groceries and began to question God as to the fact that he was healed of this terrible accident (car accident) problems but was it then the will of God for him to be 4 foot 9 inches tall. His conclusion? God never intended hit to be so small. Therefore the will of God was not for him to be that size. Now knowing this he began to apply the scripture to his own body each day commanding his body to grow in the name of Jesus.
Suddenly he began to realise that his body was actually responding to his commands and began to grow. His feet growing first and then his height being added to little by little each day. At the end of each month he had to change his shoes for the next size so that ver the months he grew to his eventual size of six foot and one inch and weighed 180 pounds. (Before 90 lbs.)
This is the working of a miracle and one of the best ones to notice.
Working of Miracles is a very important gift. It brings the sueprnatural God right into our lives. What is done by this gift cannot be missed as being totally supernatural. It requires direct divine intervention.
Mending broken limbs; putting things into engines; changing water into wine; producing money; walking on water; and millions of others all take miracle power.
