[net.religion.christian] Modern Day Miracle

Hi,

	Thought I'd share a modern day miracle with you that happened
to me several years ago ---

	I have a bad back and neck (runs in the family).  For some time
my neck had been quite painful, and I prayed like crazy that God would
heal me.  One night I woke up and remember asking God again to heal it.
Inside my head I remember hearing very clearly `Alright!!' in an angry
tone.  The anger in the tone of voice I heard really shocked me, and
scared me, too.  But at that moment I felt a warmth spread up the
back of my neck.  I remember being surprised that the warmth went from
the center of my neck around to the right side.  I also remember thinking
`I didn't know it hurt there, too'.  The warmth left and there was no
pain, none at all.  Praise God!

	For all these years that angry voice has bothered me.  I couldn't
understand why God was angry?  I asked Him for healing, He did it, but
He was mad at me.  Why?  I got the answer last week!  I heard God quietly
tell me, to my spirit again, that He was speaking softly.  Then it hit me,
that angry voice I heard was satan or one of his answering God back
after God had commanded them to lay off my neck.  Wow!  God was
teaching me all these years to trust His Love for me, and *know* it
and act on it, not believing the voice of evil to be the voice of God.
What a lesson!  What a slow student (me)!  What a blessing!

	Some day I'll tell you about a motorcycle accident I had,
and what God did for me.  Ever side-swipe a car on a country highway
with a 600+lbs motorcycle?  When God's in charge some `unbelievable'
things happen!  [Even after hitting the car so hard I placed two deep
gashes in my helmet, made of some very hard material, my neck felt fine.]

		God Bless you and your families,

			Mike Andrews
