    My husband is a radius staircase specialist and has been doing spiral staircases for over 30 years. We took our family vacation cross country to see that staircase. He spent so many hours in this chaple trying to figure out how it was done. It is impossible, illogical, and yet it exists. Pictures don't do it justice, and there is an emotional reaction that I can only describe as a warm, peaceful contentment with a bit of joyful awe .

    My story is a little different but it relates back to the same miracle.
    It was just this past February that we "my family" fell on hard financial times, I'm the only one who works in our house because my wife is sick. "The lord knows her situation" I prayed one night with an open heart for him to help me, I said lord I'm not asking for riches I'm only asking for our needs to be met. Within a few days my phone started ringing off the hook with people needing home repairs, & this is after I have called everyone I knew looking for extra work & couldn't find anything.
    Everything I have, everything I am, I owe to the Lord himself.
    Thank you so much, Lord. 🙏🙏🙏

    I was homeless and on drugs and just in the worst position in life. I sat down one day and just prayed to God for help. I said God I need you right now. I don't know what it is I need but I need help. I thanked the holy spirit for advocating for me because I knew the spirit was interceding for my lack of knowing what to say. I hadn't talked to God in a year. Within 2 weeks, I was in detox. This was 9 months ago. Right now I have a great job a car I'm paying rent and saving money and I'm clean. This is the power of faith and prayer. My entire life was changed. I thank God all the time for hearing me and everything he has done for me.

    This story reminds me....
    Back in 91, I was married and we had our first little one ☺ . We did not have a lot of money, thats how it normally is when you are starting a family. Anyway....That summer was incredibly hot. Our big (28,000 BTU) Air conditioner, quit cooling. With a little one I was really worried about it. I called several places and got prices on fixing our AC. All were more money , than we had. My hubby wouldn't let me call any of our Parents, who, btw, wouldn't have minded one bit, to loan us the money......
    After I called the AC places, (I gave no information on where we lived, or even my name) that night I prayed, "Lord I know it's a silly thing to ask of You, but we need the air conditioner for our baby, please send us some help".
    The next day, an older man knocked on our door, and said "good afternoon dear, I was sent to check on your air conditioning, if you have time for me to look at it".
    (I know I got WIDE EYED. We lived over a mile off the main road. You HAD to get very specific directions to find our house! )
    I let him check the AC, ( I was not scared, i had guns, we lived way out in the woods!)
    Anyway.... he charged the AC, patched the leak, and it didn't take very long. He said "all fixed". I said "how much do I owe you "? He said "I did not bring a receipt book, or an order for this job. Tell you what,I will be out this way again soon, and I'll let you know, ok"?
    He never came back. I called every place I had asked for price quotes, no one sent him. No one knew who he was.
    My husband was freaked out that evening , when he came into a cool house with me cooking dinner and baby all dressed 😂 instead of just in a diaper in the awful heat! He said "Did you call Your Dad"? I said "i promise, i did not call Dad, i did not call anyone, you said not to call them or ask them, we would handle it, but i did ask The Lord for help, you never said i couldn't ask Him."
    He said " well. I asked Him too. I reckon when we ask The Lord for anything , with a pure heart, He answers".
    Honest to God, TRUTH. 😊❤😊❤

      That's an Amazing Story.. God Definitely listens when we have a Pure Heart with Pure intentions.. I was Born in 91 lol.. I'm Glad God Heard you 💯 thing's like that Really Build our Faith in God 💯✝️
      I have a Story too.. Excuse me for how long it is.. I understand if Nobody Reads it lol.. Just Giving my Testimony on how God Came through for me and My Brother.. Just One of Many.. This is just one of the more "Intense" Stories I have with God ✝️🙏🏾..
      Back in 2015 to 2017 I was pretty heavy in the streets. Me and my brother had an Apartment on the 3rd floor and my brother sold drugs and we had A lot of Guns (Illegal/Federal Indictment type guns).. At one point I remember counting 17 Guns in our crib.. My brother sold 3 different types of drugs and we had other things like a smoke bomb and 2 Bullet proof vest.. Anyway, One day I see on the news that the State Police, Local PD and The ATF were running a Sweep through our city and I knew 2 people that got arrested in the first go round.. One of them wasn't even close to doing what we were doing so I had this bad feeling.. I told my bro that I think they coming for us bro.. He was a bit arrogant and said "Me?? Na they can't get me" and I said aight.. But I had this feeling like I was a Sitting Duck just waiting to be Hunted.. I do Tattoos.. One night my brother wanted a Tattoo and I started on it at like 3am.. I didn't finish until 7am.. Had I Not did that Tattoo, we would have both went to sleep.. By that time, I went out to get some McDonald's and when I came back, My bro decided he was just going to stay up for the day.. I decided to go to sleep.. So he leaves and goes out to Re-up.. I go lay down.. He comes back 30 minutes later and comes in the crib and Puts his Re-up up and puts his Gun up and goes back out to go pick his little brother up and take him to school.. So he leaves back out and I try to go back to sleep.. I'd say about 10 Minutes later I hear Banging on the door.. I hadn't fell asleep but I was almost there so I hear the banging and with my half sleep Mind, I get Aggravated, grab my 40. Cal Baretta and Walk to the door and look out the peep hole.. I saw 4 white guys with Bullet proof Vest with Big Yellow Letters on the front that Spelled "A.T.F" Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms. (The FEDS).. I NEVER 🙅🏾 Woke up so fast in my LIFE 💯 I was legit looking at 4 Federal officers with Only a door in-between us with an illegal Gun in my Hand.. I threw the Gun on the couch and didn't really know what to do so I go quietly peep out the front window and I see our car with All the Doors open and my bro handcuffed on the curb with SWAT trucks outside and a bunch of Local PD.. I went and got the drugs and took them all out the packages and spread them out in the closet so it didn't look like we were selling it.. We only had 5 Guns in the house at the time but only 2 were handguns.. The other ones were a Mini 30mm machine gun, an AK-47 and a Sawed off Shotgun (Fed Charge) so I didn't know what to do with them and I didn't know where my bro put his Gun at.. So I go to the back window and look out thinking about jumping and realized I'm on the 3rd floor and I'm a break my legs if I jump.. So For a second I just sat and Prayed 🙏🏾.. But, it wasn't a prayer to get me out of it but more so a prayer accepting my fate.. I was like Lord, if this is how You Want it to go, then so be it.. Basically Your Will be Done type of Prayer.. Then I start thinking about all that Time I was Gon get if I get caught.. By this time about 5 Minutes have pass and I was wondering why they hadn't Kicked in the door.. When I looked out the peep hole at first, they were twisting the door knob trying to open the door but it was locked 🔒 so I'm thinking like they probably are about to send up the SWAT team in Full Tactical gear to Raid because the 4 ATF officers only had their Handguns. Anyway I had a 400cc Dirt bike in my Room.. I thought quick and Took a sheet, tied it to the Bike and took another sheet and tied it together with the other sheet.. The back window was facing the backside of the building so they couldn't see over the back and being that we were on the 3rd floor I guess they saw no Reason to Surround the building..I threw the sheet out and sat on the window curb, grabbed the sheet, prayed and jumped.. Idk how my feet landed on the 2nd floor window seal but they landed PERFECT, Giving me time to rope down and not make too much noise.. I hit the ground and went through the Cut.. By the time I got through the cut I was PARANOID, I'm thinking EVERY car is the police so I run into a Hallway and Call my people to come scoop me.. it's around 8:30am at this point so I'm waking everybody up but they understood the seriousness of the situation and 15 min later my people scooped me up and I left the Area.. I felt like I was in a Dream.. I could NOT believe I just escaped because, (I was 25 at the time) in my 25 years of Life, I had NEVER seen anyone Escape a Police Raid.. I'm 32 Now and I STILL Haven't seen that 💯 Anyway my brother ended up going down to be questioned and Booked on a Warrant.. The Detective told my brother that he doesn't understand why the ATF didn't Go inside the Apartment.. (They NEVER went in).. The detective told him had he been in charge of the Raid and Not the ATF, he would have sent his Men in. But because we were being investigated on Not only drugs but Multiple Firearms charges and they had been Investigating and watching us for 6 months and in-between that time, they saw us on New years Eve and that year, Nowhere in the Entire City were letting off more Rounds than we were.. We picked up over 800 She'll casings the next morning and it was about 10 of us shooting.. So they knew we were HEAVILY armed.. Had we had all our Men there and All our Guns we could have Held off SWAT to the point they would have had to Call in the National Guard if we decided to go out that way.. But anyway, Come to find out, they had a Warrant for Only my brothers arrest.. The ATF was playing by the book.. BUT they were trying to come in and get him so they could search the apartment.. So back to the beginning, What Saved me and Him was me doing his Tattoo and finishing it at 7am.. When I went out to McDonald's, they weren't out there But when my brother went out to Re-up, they were in the next hallway booting up.. When he came back, they could have got him but they wanted to wait until he was inside the apartment to come in because had he been inside, they could have came in to serve his warrant. But, like I said, he came in put his Re-up (Drugs) and his Gun up and left right back out.. As he was coming down the stairs, they were coming up.. Had he Stayed inside for 2 more minutes, We both would be in jail til this Day 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯🙏🏾🤞🏾 Everything Aligned PERFECTLY in our Favor and we had No Clue.. Between the Tattoo being finished at 7am and my bro deciding to stay up, between them wanting to get inside messed up their chances to catch him with a Gun and Drugs and they watched him go upstairs where he put it all up and him leaving Right back out to get his Brother.. had they came a little earlier or if it hadn't Lined up EXACTLY how it did, we'd be in Jail.. We would have been their Biggest Bust in the whole Sweep.. you can actually Google it.. "Operation Riptide" in VA.. They ended up giving out over 100 year's in that Sweep and by THE GRACE OF GOD ✝️ we slipped Right through their fingers.. GOD Aligned it PERFECTLY.. I can't stress that enough.. It was like had literally ANYTHING had Gon ANY Different down to 1-2 MINUTES, it would have cost me and my brother 15-20 years of our life 💯 That was GOD ✝️💯 That Slowed us down.. I skipped town soon after and lived in NC for a few months.. I've been Walking with God Since I was 21.. I just was in a Bad environment and we had good heart's.. God Knew that.. We were just doing what we had to do to survive 💯 but towards the end, really around New years coming into 2017, we had an incident where we were protecting someone and someone ended up getting shot (Not killed).. My brother sat down with me that Night and told me he doesn't think he Gon make it through the year (2017).. I told him, however it goes, I'm right with you bro.. People had planned on Robbing us ect ect but we were prepared for that 💯 But I started feeling like thing's were going too good for too long.. I Felt like something was about to happen.. I just didn't know if it were going to be someone trying to Rob us and we would have had to kill someone or even gotten killed or if the Feds were going to come down on us.. but I KNEW something was coming.. Just so happened to be The Feds 💯 But, GOD ✝️ Had us through it All 💯 My brother ended up getting Probation for the warrant.. But That Beats 15-20 years Fed time 💯 Fast Forward 6 and a Half Years and me and him are both still out here.. He's slowed down heavy on the streets.. I had got him into Racing cars and he really got into that and is doing well.. Me on the other hand, Has been Walking with God ✝️ and I'm in the stage where thing's aren't peaches and Cream but I got God and I know All is Well.. God Will Definitely Hear your Prayer 🙏🏾 when you Need Him 💯✝️🙏🏾🤞🏾📖

    My grandma graduated from Loretto Academy. In the mornings before class my grandma and her best friend Frances would go to the chapel and they would pray for each other's brothers because they were in the war (WWII). Frances's brother was in the army so my grandma prayed for him. My grandma's brother was in the marines so Frances prayed for him. They both came back alive, and many years later my grandma married the man she prayed for all those years ago, my grandpa. My aunt Frances was her maid of honor.

    About 10 yrs ago I went to go work in California, my boss set us up in this crap motel with no cable. I've had back problems for yrs, that low dull pain that is always there that keeps you in a bad mood but doesn't keep you from working. Anyway it was 12am and I couldn't sleep but my friend was already asleep. Nothing was on TV except for a televangelist. For some reason he started saying " there's a person out there whose had debilitating back pain for yrs and if thats you put your hand on mine and pray this prayer " I immediately thought, I ain't getting up. He then said if you can't get up just raise you hand and pray with me. I looked over at my friend to make sure he's asleep. I prayed that prayer with him and forgot about it. I dont believe in Televangelist 😂. But 1 week later I dropped my keys and thought oh no, cuz I know I'm gonna feel it. I bent down WITH NO PROBLEM 😢. and then I started realizing that pain wasn't there. I then remembered that prayer. Thank you Jesus, for removing that pain. Thank you so much...God bless everyone its been 10 yrs.

    The wood used was a type of spruce, not native to new mexico. Furthermore yet to be scientifically identified growing anywhere on earth yet. The man allowed no one to watch his work. The amount of math to establish a perfect helix staircase is mind boggling. Showed up on a donkey. Gave no name with mystery wood to build a masterpiece then left without payment.

      ​@andrewlee6280 I'm a 47 year old retired Army veteran. 3 years ago on election day 2020 I had just finished voting and my wife and I were heading home. A man on a moped pulled outin front of me. I did everything I could to avoid hitting him. I swerved left, but it wasn't enough. Sadly, the man lost his life. It killed me! I've always considered myself as someone that is a protector and someone that is willing to do anything to help people. Even if it meant risking my life. Even though it wasn't my fault I still fell in a deep depression. I guess that's what brought all this on and that's when everything started. I started feeling, it's hard to explain, touching I guess you could say it was while laying in my bed. It was like a light static electricity. I know it wasn't my house because we had to stay in a hotel because of a bad water leak and had to replace 40% of the flooring and it was happening at the hotel. Then I started seeing things moving, but just slightly moving. The smoke detector in my hallway has a red light on it. While laying on my couch I started seeing that red light dance around and move crazily. I believe it was because, I guess it was a spirit, was in front of the smoke detector and distorted what I was looking at. Making it seem like it was moving. That's when I started recording. I also started noticing seeing people, beings, and spirits in reflections in mirrors and and anything reflective. I have little sliding glass doors on my fireplace. I noticed some entities in the doors and the doors were slowing opening. I sat my Galaxy A23 phone down on my coffee table to record. And it's weird because the camera on this phone is very clear. Except when I'm trying to film them. After I sat it down I noticed it was a bad angle. I picked it up to place it at a better angle. As I was going to sit it down I noticed out the corner of my eye a brown mist and this like brown oval creature with a tail just come out of the Mist. It flew down in front of my fireplace and came to sliding halt. It then reversed and flew back the exact way it came and disappeared into another brown mist. I captured the creature on video but I didn't get it coming or going out of the Mist. I was in the process of setting my phone down and was lucky I got what I did. It looks like it has a light on the end of its tail. Then I started noticing shadow people at the end of my couch. They would slowly pop their head up when they thought I wasn't looking . I started faking sleeping and would crack my eyes and could see them. They were a black that I've never seen before. They're also very hairy. I can tell by their outline and see so much hair.i caught one on video. He pokes his head out from behind my lamp. He then blows some black smoke. Goes back behind the lamp and then sticks his head back out again. And it looks like he's got something on his back the second time. They move do fast. If you're watching the video, pause it, zoom in, and use the slider thing to make it move slowly and you can see it Blow out the smoke. Last one, but I've caught do many more. I was laying on my couch with my legs like I'm about to do a situp, just trying to give you an idea as to how I was laying, with a blanket over my legs. I noticed this old woman form out my covers on the side of my right leg. She was only about 6 inches big. It's just her face and left arm. And she's smoking. At the same time a chair next to my TV had a cardboard box on it and some other things on it. Spirits entered the box and the other things on the chair. If you watch the video that's a regular cardboard box. I swear on my children's lives that it's all real. I'm an honorable retired service member. I just made a channel because I wanted to show the to my friends and family but they were to big to email or text. A friend of mine suggested that I make the channel and just tell them to go look at them there. Then I started seeing a bunch of people questioning the afterlife or the paranormal. It passes me off all the noitalls. Go to sgtjohnnywallsmith8720 on RUclips. I'll say it again it's completely true! The afterlife is real. Spirits are real. Sorry for the long rant,but I needed to put this out there.

    The facts are pretty much correct except the man came to the church on a donkey tired, hungry and withered and asked the sisters if he could do some work around the church for food and a place to rest. The sisters asked him what type of work he had done he told them he was a master carpenter. They took him inside and showed him they had no staircase to the loft and asked if he could build them one for food, lodging, and a little money to help him carry on with his journey. He agreed and the rest is what you heard already. He never took the money when he left and no one could find where he got the wood from. Love this !!❤

      We’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God: (“Roman’s 3:23”)
      And God has pronounced that the penalty of sin
      Even committing just one sin, would make you liable To spiritual death and separation from God for all of eternity in a place of judgment called Hell. We all deserve Gods judgment
      All of us like sheep have gone astray, We have turned, each one, to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wickedness of us all [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing] To fall on Him [instead of us].
      : “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23)
      BUT the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.”
      (“John 3:16”)✝️
      “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
      Romans 5:8
      But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
      Jesus took our punishment death! and took it on the cross and gave up his life
      For us on the cross of Carvery that we may be reconciled to the father Making a way through Him self
      John 14:6
      Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
      Christ dies and raises again on the 3rd day for our justification so that God can be both just and the justifier of the one who places their faith in Jesus Christ so that all those who come to Christ may enter in, so that all those who place their faith in Christ Jesus may be saved but not only just saved but sanctified and justified and adopted into the family of God
      we’re further sanctified throughout this life by the very same gospel that saved us, until one day when it’s all said and done we’re not just saved from the penalty of sin we’re not just saved from the power of sin but one day were gonna be glorified and saved from the very presence of sin this is the good news
      He loves you and He wants a relationship with you He wants too know you personally accept him as your lord a savior today Jesus wants to be your friend
      His return is near! HES COMING FOR HIS PEOPLE Repent and turn from your sins and to turn to God
      1 John 1:9-10
      If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
      If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
      1 Timothy 2:4-6
      God wants everyone to be saved and to fully understand the truth. There is only one God, and there is only one way that people can reach God. That way is through Christ Jesus, who as a man gave himself to pay for everyone to be free. This is the message that was given to us at just the right time..

    Yeah, I actually saw a documentary about this. It truly is baffling. They can't seem to verify anything at all, aside from the fact that the staircase they needed and prayed for, was built. They can't figure out who this man was, where he got the wood he used, who hired him, where did he learn his methods, why didn't he wish to be paid for his work? There are no answers, only more questions.
    Regardless of who, how, and why, the work was incredibly precise and accurate. True, old-world craftsmanship that people just don't aspire to these days. We are a disposable society, we don't build things to last anymore.

      I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from here. So are you saying that because this church allowed someone (who told them that he was there to repair the staircase) to fix the staircase, that the church was weak for not building it themselves ( Even though they don't have the skills...). And because they were weak, they deserve annihilation? If I'm understanding you correctly, you are quite bleak and need a hug.

    The fact it was a donkey is actually pretty important! Who else came into town riding a donkey through the desert in Christianity?... They also left out some key details in this story! The "carpenter" told the church he had some conditions. He said he would stay and live in the church while he worked and was not to be disturbed. He said the should leave him food 3 times a day at the door and knock and once they out it down and then leave. One of the nuns who dropped off the food kept getting more and more curious and kept asking the other nuns and priest "how do we know he's actually working? we should check in on him!" but they kept telling her No.. So finally after 3 months of dropping off food and coming back to empty plates outside the door she couldn't take it anymore! So she opened up the church door to find the church completely vacant and covered in cobwebs!... Like no one had been in the church the entire time except for the gleaming spiral staircase with no support beams or nails.. There was never any trace of the man and his donkey disappeared too.

But you can get close enough to see clearly the individual boards and how they curve and fit together. There are no nails, and mathematically, it’s supposed to be impossible to build. Yet here they are. The quality of the carpentry is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before - and my Dad and Grandpa were carpenters who built beautiful furniture. I wish they had been able to see that staircase in person.

    The Real Story
    Local historian Mary Jean Cook Straw has spent years researching archives starting in the 1980s and she uncovered the mystery behind the carpenter who built the staircase (built some time during the years 1877-1881). His name was Francois-Jean Rochas, a French transplant of the mid-1800s who had settled in New Mexico around 1846. He was an established carpenter and known to many. He was hired to build the spiral staircase for the St. Vincent sanitarium [later destroyed by fire] also in Santa Fe.
    Among the evidence she uncovered were documents relating to the construction, including an 1881 entry in the Sister’s Day Book explaining an expenditure of money, “Paid for wood Mr Rochas, $150.00.”
    Rochas was killed in a gun fight in Dog Canyon, near Alamogordo, in December 1894. His death notice in the 5 January 1895 Santa Fe New Mexican mentions that he was known as the builder of the spiral staircase.

      New generations aren’t as close to God and have a very different approach and belief to God, religion, science, etc. They want undeniable facts and proofs. The very basis of faith is a belief that something is real even without proof. We have faith that the sun will rise tomorrow, rain will come at some point, our children will be adults, food will always be available, human minds are the highest of leadership on a planet and that nothing can defeat them, air will always be available, the ground is here and it’s good. Strawberry plants will produce strawberries. Etc….. No one doubts these things even with some evidence that they can change. Humans believe that even with those changes, humans will always be here on earth. Most people have faith that they will live from minute to minute because if we ever grasped how truly our fragile our life and control is; we would extend more kindness, grace, love, forgiveness, help, control, experience the hundreds of tiny things throughout each day that are actually miracles or we’d be in a ball having a mental breakdown. Christians of today are fence riders. They want to change text as to how it suits them in order to make their actions not a sin or they use God as a spare tire meaning the only time they worship God is in the bad times or the valley of life. When they are high up on that mountain, they forget God and think that they did all of it by theirselves. The mighty God in the valley is the same mighty God on the mountain. Most people don’t abandon God in their darkest hours; they abandon God when they reach success. I believe it Matthew 19:23-26 that tells us that it is easier to pass a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. For all of the people who strive to be rich and successful, how are you striving to do it? Are you willing to lie, cheat, and steal from the people beneath you to be rich & successful? Honest people aren’t good at a lot of businesses because they aren’t willing to lie, cheat, or steal. We are seeing the toxicity of a culture who has taken God out of everything and replaced it with? Even if you’re not a believer, Christian principles are still the principles that are good and we choose to abide by. We all need to follow biblical principles if we are believers and pray for nonbelievers. Set a better example and live that example. We all need to ask for discernment from God and pray God shows us the path we need to follow rather than look for scientific proof.

      @Raysystemic yeah I'm excited for the remake, I heard they used every part of the staircase they could in this one, Johnny will take it to the next level without a doubt.

      Definitely not a "miracle" the Catholics are the mother of harlots the bible spoke of in revelation. Who wears purple, scarlet and drinks from the golden cup. The Catholics are pagan, and Yah will have his revenge

    The carpenter would not allow ANYONE into the chapel the entire time he worked. Something supernatural was definitely afoot!
