Sir, thanks again for sharing this beautiful experience with us. I have always wanted to know the title of the song that is played at the beginning of all your videos. Never asked because it always seemed out of context.
In my opinion, they were not miracles. They were loving intercessions one of many that may happen to you on a day-to-day basis when you lead a prayerful life, and you just happened to notice these two. Many times we are too busy and miss the cues. One noticeable miracle we seem to overlook is waking up each day. I left fundamentalism when my son was diagnosed with an incurable illness and the Catholic faith offered focused, sensible, grounded thought and prayer during my time of great sorrow. I learned acceptance and my own healing process through the great teachers and doctors of the church, rather than simplistic magical thinking that something special and instant would happen. There is nothing magical about prayers being answered. That is why we pray.
Travelling recently. My husband is protestant. Due to flights and work obligations, we had to travel on a Sunday. I was so stressed out about missing Mass. I prayed to God: God, I want to worship you today, but I just don't see how it's going to happen. Please, make it possible. We land at our destination. I kid you not, over the airport intercom and announcement rings through: 'A Catholic Mass is being said 15 minutes from now in the chapel at concourse F.' I was completely mind blown. God is good.
I just received a MAJOR Miracle. Something I could not have expected or asked for. A week ago, the ceiling in my apartment collapsed - water flooding from upstairs. Catastrophic damage. All furniture had to be abandoned. Fortunately, I'd packed most of my Books and Kitchen Stuff months earlier, planning to move. I had to flee with a bag of Clothes. The Church where I sing (Episcopalian) put me up in a Hotel for a week. The Organist suggested calling a Catholic Senior Residence and within hours, I was accepted and given a beautiful Apartment. Normally there's a Waiting List of 3 years or more. This just HAPPENED after talking with the Mother Superior for 10 minutes. I moved in over the weekend. It's a beautiful place, and Mass and Vespers every day, and the kindest people imaginable. This is purely a Gift from God. i had nothing to do with it.
I had been stuck home for a month on oxygen and couldn't go to Mass. I was reading a book about the miraculous Tilma. It inspired me to ask Our Lady to pray for my healing. I took another O2 test and it was normal. I ditched the O2 tank and have been fine ever since.
Hey, i know this is a moot point but i have been fighting the spiritual battle of disbelief. I don’t want to call you a liar because i think you’re not. But is this real. If so praise be to our God in heaven. Sorry i know this is a silly question
@manguyperson2917 I know this message wasn't for me but there's lots of great resources online if you are struggling with faith, God commands us in Matthew to seek him with our mind and people like William Lane Craig or Jimmy Akin can help educate
My oldest son Matt was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer in 2012, and a year later without surgery he was tumor free. Getting him to come back to the faith again is the bigger miracle that I am praying for.
@Roman-Labrador Behave what way? Are you saying he never says "Yes"? Never says "No"? Never says "Wait"? Because I'm pretty sure I experience all three and that all three are all over the stories told in the Bible, where God grants the request immediately (very many examples), or doesn't grant the request at all (like when David asked for his first baby with Bathsheba to be allowed to live), or grants the request only after a long wait, like he did with Job/Abraham/Joseph, etc, and with the Hebrews' prayer for the coming of the messiah. So I'm very lost on how/why you think he doesn't behave this way.
I was raised catholic. I was baptized and have already done communion. In my adult life, I only entered a church for a wedding or a funeral. And another 3 times for the baptism of all my children. Apart from that, years without talking to God or entering a church. About a year ago my daughter became very ill. Blood cancer. MDS a pre-stage of leukemia. I was completely depressed looking for the why and help. God spoke to me and actually I listened. Went to church to talk to God. And half a year later a miracle. Instead of her developing further into leukemia. She went back into blood cancer by herself. 2 days before she was going to start chemo. The doctors are baffled. My daughter and I are now closer to God than ever before. But I keep praying and talking. You can't just talk to God when you need a favor. Amen brother.
I think about God a lot while doing long cardio sessions. I was on a 3 hour bike ride and later that day I was going to gave dinner with some friends. She is a fallen away Catholic and her husband was raised Baptist but asked me about being Catholic a few months ago. Their 2 beautiful young daughters have not been baptized yet. I was thinking about this during my ride (I was also listening to a Catholic Answers podcast) and I thought to myself “Wouldn’t it be cool if they brought church up again at dinner?” So I said a little prayer that they open the door to discussing coming to back or joining the Catholic Church. That night out if nowhere she starts asking me a bunch of questions about our church and saying she wants to come back and go to confession and get her daughters baptized and he started asking me the same questions I had just learned good answers to from the podcast!
My friend witnessed a miracle. Her friend had torn his ACL and the pain was getting worse. He was struggling to get to classes on time with crutches. He prayed for healing at our campus grotto before Our Lady, then he heard a voice telling him to Mass and meet his friend afterwards who would be visiting that day. He then asked his friend to pray over his leg and once he did, he felt blood rushing through his leg, put down his crutches, and ran around laughing, completely healed.
I had a little miracle this weekend. A very bad storm was forecast for the UK and I live in quite an exposed location. I was somewhat dreading it and the wind was already starting to get up. I prayed that I and my neighbourhood be spared the worst of it. Immediately the wind calmed down and the storm seemed to go over us. The clouds were racing along and tall trees swaying violently but closer to the ground it was just a bit breezy. It carried on like that for over 24 hours. Many other places got battered but just not my town and I was so grateful!
I love this! Do you know if the Pieta storm prayer? I live in Iowa, US. I use it often, especially when tornadoes are around. It is exactly for your situation!
@@margaretrutherford5548 My sister took a direct hit from Hurricane Milton this year. Her sisters prayed for her safety. We lost contact with her at 9PM. I slept very little, asking God to keep her safe. Exactly 12 hours later she texted to tell us that she and her husband were able to watch the hurricane from their lanai, and she could feel prayers surrounding her. They went to bed when the power went out and slept soundly all night! In the morning her whole neighborhood was safe, power restored, very little damage. She was amazed.
Not me, but my mom had a mini miracle happen back when I was a kid. It was our first family vacation in a pretty long while, and my dad really needed it since he had been jumping around from start-up to start up working crazy long hours. We were at the beach, and my dad goes into the water and his sunglasses get washed away. Now the beach we were at had this really soft, fine sand, that unfortunately would make the water totally opaque because it would get tossed around so easily. My family is all searching for the sunglasses, and one by one I, my sisters, and then my dad all give up because it just seemed impossible. But my mom would not give up. She prayed to St. Anthony something along the lines of "please, my husband really needs this break, I just want him to be able to have a good vacation and we're going to be out in the sun for the whole thing, please help me find his glasses." The instant she stopped, she looked down and the glasses washed up on her feet. My dad still has them, although he's had to change his prescription. He calls them his miracle glasses!
When i feel my spirit sinking and having sadness over come me, I pray, God give me strength! And He immediately does! Praise God from whom all blessing flow.❤
When I went to college, away from home, in my late teens, my dad gave me a book called "Prayers for Life" by Michel Quoist (Or something like that) a book of Christian prayers/meditations - but I never read it, just had it on my bedside cupboard. One evening at college I was feeling a bit depressed, it was a time in my life when I was a bit all over the place, and to make myself feel better and in a moment of madness I decided to shave my head, completely, including eyebrows. The following morning was a Sunday morning and I woke up with my bald head, regretting what I'd done and dreading going to church and having to explain it to everyone. My eye fell on the book I described, I picked it up for the first time, opened it randomly and the first prayer/meditation I saw in it was called THE BALD HEAD. It was to do with God knowing me through and through and loving me, it was a remarkable experience.
Beautiful stories of lovely miracles. I will share one of mine. Years ago we were having company over and I was preparing dinner. I was also making extra food to bring over for a friend (although I can’t remember the circumstances). I thought how nice it would be to have a bouquet of flowers for the table. Within minutes the doorbell rang with a flower delivery. In this day and time it seems most unlikely and far fetched as to whom the flowers were from. The week before I had a one time specialist doctor’s appointment and travelled a distance and then had to wait quite a long time to be seen. The doctor’s office sent me the flowers as recompense.
Love these everyday miracles, my husband died 6 weeks ago from Cancer and left me to close his business workout how to negotiate banking bill paying and all our adult kids,I prayed please keep me calm and let me be able to solve each problem easily and that to me has been miraculous 🙏
We can pray this together with united intentions: And for any others with similar knots in life who now read this ancient petition - O Virgin Mary, Mother who never refuses to come to the help of your children in need, Mother whose hands never stop working for the welfare of your children, moved as they are by the loving mercy and kindness that exists in your Immaculate Heart, cast your compassionate and merciful eyes on us and see the snarl of knots that exists in our lives. Oh Mother! You know the difficulties, sorrow and pain that we've had because of them. O loving Mother, we place the ribbon of our lives and these knots into your loving hands, hands which can undo even the most difficult knot. Most Holy Mother, come to our aid and intercede for us before God with your prayers. We cast these knots into your hands, relieve us from sicknesses, ailments and addictions and beg you to undo them, in the Name of your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the glory of God, once and for all. Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, pray for us!
God is WONDERFUL!! My life is full of miracles, sometimes even without praying 🙌 my husband and I were young when we got married and struggled financially. One time we didn´t have much to eat, I was washing the dishes thinking: what can I give for breakfast to my 1 yo baby with a can of tuna, pasta, and some other random ingredients; suddenly a car park in front of my house and it was my mother (which she never visit me because we live so far apart, I always visit her) I was happy to see her but when I saw her she was carrying bags. The bags were full of groceries with eggs, milk, bread, fruit, vegetables, and more 😔 The first thing that came out of my mouth was THANK YOU LORD TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY!!
How beautiful to hear of these graces from our almighty Father! Thank you for sharing. I’ve had many just like these. ❤ My husband had heart surgery when we had just recently lost our medical insurance coverage. I prayed and took it to the altar. I was soon notified that the insurance company had paid the full $152,000 bill in error and decided not to reverse the payment. All I could do was weep. God is real and still answers prayers. Thank you Jesus!!🎉
I had a strange occurrence happen to me. A man in a bus shelter with mental health problems mumbling to himself. I decided to say a prayer for and in his mumbling he said loudly enough for me to hear "oh really". I said a prayer to St. Michael.
Brian, I love your stories. I do count both as little miracles. I'm part of a prayer team, and we see so many healings, but it is the little requests that are so often answered that amaze me and remind me of how powerful prayer is. On a trip to Israel, another traveler had a killer sinus headache pop up. We were in the shadow of the Church of the Transfiguration with just a minute of time before we had to go, so I prayed: Holy Spirit, please heal Naomi! And she breathed in, and all her pain and symptoms were gone. She was so excited. And another who's back was in pain, we were on the path Jesus walked from Bethlehem to Capernum. I prayed for Jesus to heal her back and she went from an 8 to a 3, eventually to a zero. He is so good! And the little prayers like asking Jesus to handle the very difficult client when you're out of energy, and the next call is from a co-worker literally updating you on the solution. I say, especially with your beautiful new baby, ask often! You are one of the Lord's great evangelizers. Ask away! I bet He blesses you often!
I remember having the same instant healing. Years ago, I experienced this lingering right sided headache that won't go away even if I took painkillers. I woke up everyday hoping the pain will be gone. On the third day, I woke up still with the head ache, I sat in my sofa, closed my eyes and just prayed to God to please take away the pain and heal me. And in an instant, the pain was gone.
A couple of Christmases ago my uncle passed away. His wife knows I like to sing and she asked that I sing for his burial, and I said yes. I started getting sick leading up to the day and I said "I don't have time for this. God is going to have to take care of this because there is no other option." I didn't end up getting sick even though I started feeling all the hallmarks of a cold forming. Praise God I was able to sing. 💙 Also, I started a Novena this week. I've never done one before, and I just cant take it anymore when it comes to my current struggles. I'm really trying to trust God and let Him help. It's a part of my life that I've had trouble giving to God, but it's time now.
Cool stories, man. One encouragement I took from this was that I need to get better at bringing all my concerns to God first instead of as a last resort. I struggle with that too.
I can't recall any specific instances, but I've had so many divine deliverances that I lost count years ago. Most of them came before I could even pray for deliverance. Deo gratias! ✝️
I was diagnosed with Cholestasis of pregnancy in my 4 pregnancies, which presents a big risk of stillbirth. My husband and I both prayed a 40 day rosary novena asking Our Lady to intercede so that our babies would be born alive and healthy. Our prayers were definitely answered! ❤ now I homeschool my 4 little gifts!❤
God is great! As you share these two stories of God's power and mercy, on this side of the world, these days I'm first-hand hearing a case of a "non-believer" experiencing His healing power over cancer because of their new-found belief in God.
I don’t know if it qualifies as a miracle, but I was washing dishes the other night while my youngest ate dinner in her high chair. She started to fuss, but I was so close to being done that I kept working. Something told me to look up, and I saw that she had climbed out of the straps on her chair and was dangling head-first over the side. I ran over to grab her and saw that the only thing keeping her from a trip to the hospital was one of her legs still had part of the strap around it. I firmly believe that God protected her.
I believe you! That sounds *exactly* how my Father would accompany you through your trial. I love Him. Thanks for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby!
I can share my story too: A couple of months ago my wife got pregnant. Where we live, if you have an employment contract and get pregnant, you get 100% of your salary for 2 years while on maternity leave. And it's illegal to fire such a woman because she's protected by the law. In our case this wouldn't work because my wife was employed based on a different type of contract that didn't guarantee this benefit, so she had to start looking for a new job in her first weeks of pregnancy. It's another problem because employers are not keen to hire pregnant women because they know that after one/two months they'll go on leave. Of course I have a full-time job but living only on my salary for some time would be challenging. So we started praying. After two weeks she find a new job in a catholic kindergarten. Before signing the contract my wife revealed her pregnancy to the new employeer and they just congratulated her and said it was great that new life is on its way. Also, they said that if she felt worse she should immidiately go on maternity leave and that they would take care of the rest.
These simple things are certainly worthy of praising God over. Blessed testimony of God's personal care and obvious answer to prayer. Love it and am moved by it.
Why are we surprised when God answers prayer; He told us to ask and we would receive but so often we forget to ask. I remember once I was in a job I really hated and had recently been to an interview for another job which I desperately wanted. The interview went well and I thought I had the job but when I hadn't heard back, I phoned to find out what was happening and was informed they had given the job to someone else. I was crushed. Anyhow, soon after receiving the bad news I was at my desk, thoroughly depressed and miserable, and quietly said to God, please God, isn't there someway I can have that job I had interviewed for. Not five minutes passed when I received a call to say the person they had selected had decided not to take it and the job was mine. Wow, was I thrilled and so, so grateful to God for that.
Thank you. I really appreciate this powerful video. I've had many answers to prayers over the last few years. Don't give up and keep praying and hoping.
These stories are AMAZING and bring me to tears. Thank you for sharing such great examples of your surrender and God’s mercy. So real. So concrete. So simple. Thank you, Brian. God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
100% Do your duty faithfully according to the church and stay in a state of Grace (can be done with practice) and pray for what you want. Ask God directly and ask the saints of your choice to pray for you. You'll get what you want, in my experience.
Thank you Brian you definitely needed to share this it proves God's willingness to answer prayers especially the little things that involve The concern and care for others
I was driving in a downpour and suddenly my windshield wipers stopped working. I began to pray a Hail Mary and immediately they started working and never froze up again.
I'm of the mind that we all see and recognize a lot more miracles than we're willing to admit. Little miracles like you mentioned which make people think they'd feel/look silly telling others. Some even go beyond physical explanation, but still aren't for what we would consider a grand purpose. But even those, with the veil of time, can be remembered as commonplace, like seeing a pillar of fire or cloud every night and day. If miracles are meant to demonstrate the glory of God, we should acknowledge them before we forget them.
Wow. Thank you for sharing Brian, the miracles and your discernment. Two personal encounters with God. Can't prove it, don't have to. God sees you and hears you. Isn't that just wild. I call those Mountain Top encounters with our God. I discern they are a grace, to encourage us in our walk with Himself.
As an American (Minnesotan to be more specific), I always forget you’re Canadian because I find you like super relatable to me but when you say things like “I had the urge to go to the washroom” I’m like yup that right lol
last summer i woke up one morning around 4am with mild abdominal pain. it wasn't terrible, but the particular sensation wasn't anything i'd ever felt before and i started to get a really bad feeling about it. over the next couple of hours it steadily got worse until i could hardly stand up. The whole time i was debating whether or not i should go to the hospital and i was praying for God to take the pain away. Around 7am i finally called my mother and asked her to drive me to the ER. Almost immediately the pain began to recede and by the time my mother got there to pick me up I could walk around comfortably. we decided to go to the ER anyways, and it turned out that I had appendicitis and ended up in surgery for it that day. As far as I'm aware, appendicitis isn't usually something where pain just stops if you take advil and ignore it for a couple hours. I'm convinced that God took away my pain, but that he waited to answer my prayer until i'd decided to go and get the medical care that quite possibly saved my life
Hey Brian, thanks a lot for sharing, that was really inspiring. With regard to the case of your newborn son, I had exactly the same situation with my son few years ago- so little children just can’t breathe through the mouth. And though I didn’t experience a miracle back then, I can totally share your pain connected to this. God bless you, bro!
You called your first story silly but I think it profound. God is there for us in the great, but also in small ways. To know God cares enough for us that when we reach out even in seemingly insignificant things he’s there.
At adoration I have received "the word of knowledge" more than once. I have received consolations of the Holy Spirit that perfectly coincided with answered prayers. One was the breaking of an intractable infection in a "walking saint" in my parish. Another coincided with a blood test which revealed that a mother was able to carry her child to delivery, as their blood types were incompatible. I have asked to bear the spinal pain of a fellow parishioner and have received it. That same pain returned another day at adoration and 30 seconds later, the same parishioner walked into the chapel. I have a nightmare medical resumé. Having had three blood cancers, multi-relapsed and being in 6th remission, my atheist hematologist called my recovery "a miracle". I had less than a 0% prognosis. Of note is that I have received the Sacrament of Anointing many times and thousands of online prayers. The message is God's MERCY.
I saw a quadriplegic patient mute x 6 years except grunts and noises, could not even indicate y/n except by eye movements. One day, after extreme frustration at failed communication, his physician and nurse said a prayer that he might regain his speech, away from his room. 10 minutes later he was speaking clearly enough to communicate his needs and enjoy talking again.
my little miracle has always been when I was a little kid I would always lose my swimsuit, and so whenever we'd go to the beach or pool I'd be in a panic trying to find it, and always, just after I prayed about it I would find it. These little miracles help so much when I'm struggling with doubt

A wise small boy once said, "Every prayer is answered, sometimes the answer is 'NO!'.
True.
In religious school in Kenya, we were taught that God always answers prayer in one of three ways: Yes, No, or Wait.

Because I'm pretty sure I experience all three and that all three are all over the stories told in the Bible, where God grants the request immediately (very many examples), or doesn't grant the request at all (like when David asked for his first baby with Bathsheba to be allowed to live), or grants the request only after a long wait, like he did with Job/Abraham/Joseph, etc, and with the Hebrews' prayer for the coming of the messiah.

My dad still has them, although he's had to change his prescription. He calls them his miracle glasses!
Fr. Ripperger says that St. Anthony prefers women to men, and answers them more often and faster. I think this story supports that!
When i feel my spirit sinking and having sadness over come me, I pray, God give me strength! And He immediately does! Praise God from whom all blessing flow.❤
When I went to college, away from home, in my late teens, my dad gave me a book called "Prayers for Life" by Michel Quoist (Or something like that) a book of Christian prayers/meditations - but I never read it, just had it on my bedside cupboard. One evening at college I was feeling a bit depressed, it was a time in my life when I was a bit all over the place, and to make myself feel better and in a moment of madness I decided to shave my head, completely, including eyebrows. The following morning was a Sunday morning and I woke up with my bald head, regretting what I'd done and dreading going to church and having to explain it to everyone. My eye fell on the book I described, I picked it up for the first time, opened it randomly and the first prayer/meditation I saw in it was called THE BALD HEAD. It was to do with God knowing me through and through and loving me, it was a remarkable experience.
Thank You for sharing I will share your miracle read Psalm 139.
Beautiful stories of lovely miracles. I will share one of mine. Years ago we were having company over and I was preparing dinner. I was also making extra food to bring over for a friend (although I can’t remember the circumstances). I thought how nice it would be to have a bouquet of flowers for the table. Within minutes the doorbell rang with a flower delivery. In this day and time it seems most unlikely and far fetched as to whom the flowers were from. The week before I had a one time specialist doctor’s appointment and travelled a distance and then had to wait quite a long time to be seen. The doctor’s office sent me the flowers as recompense.
God is good!
Love these everyday miracles, my husband died 6 weeks ago from Cancer and left me to close his business workout how to negotiate banking bill paying and all our adult kids,I prayed please keep me calm and let me be able to solve each problem easily and that to me has been miraculous 🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss.❤
My most sincere condolences with much love. 💕 🙏
Praying for divine intervention over awkward social interaction is so real
Yes, and these situations happen when you least expect it
God give me some relief from my health issues and addictions. Thank you.
We can pray this together with united intentions: And for any others with similar knots in life who now read this ancient petition -
O Virgin Mary, Mother who never refuses to come to the help of your children in need, Mother whose hands never stop working for the welfare of your children, moved as they are by the loving mercy and kindness that exists in your Immaculate Heart, cast your compassionate and merciful eyes on us and see the snarl of knots that exists in our lives.
Oh Mother! You know the difficulties, sorrow and pain that we've had because of them. O loving Mother, we place the ribbon of our lives and these knots into your loving hands, hands which can undo even the most difficult knot.
Most Holy Mother, come to our aid and intercede for us before God with your prayers.
We cast these knots into your hands, relieve us from sicknesses, ailments and addictions and beg you to undo them, in the Name of your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the glory of God, once and for all.
Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, pray for us!
🙏💕
Our Lady of Guadeloupe, on this your great Feast, little mother, unfold us in your mantle Amen.
We can be more certain an event is miraculous if it coincides with our prayers.
God is WONDERFUL!! My life is full of miracles, sometimes even without praying 🙌 my husband and I were young when we got married and struggled financially. One time we didn´t have much to eat, I was washing the dishes thinking: what can I give for breakfast to my 1 yo baby with a can of tuna, pasta, and some other random ingredients; suddenly a car park in front of my house and it was my mother (which she never visit me because we live so far apart, I always visit her) I was happy to see her but when I saw her she was carrying bags. The bags were full of groceries with eggs, milk, bread, fruit, vegetables, and more 😔 The first thing that came out of my mouth was THANK YOU LORD TO PROVIDE FOR MY FAMILY!!
How beautiful to hear of these graces from our almighty Father! Thank you for sharing. I’ve had many just like these. ❤ My husband had heart surgery when we had just recently lost our medical insurance coverage. I prayed and took it to the altar. I was soon notified that the insurance company had paid the full $152,000 bill in error and decided not to reverse the payment. All I could do was weep. God is real and still answers prayers. Thank you Jesus!!🎉
I had a strange occurrence happen to me. A man in a bus shelter with mental health problems mumbling to himself. I decided to say a prayer for and in his mumbling he said loudly enough for me to hear "oh really". I said a prayer to St. Michael.
May God be praised. A great blessing indeed.
Congratulations on your new son! So Thankful that God helped him!
That was 2 excellent stories of "mini-miracles" that certainly remind us that our prayers will always be answered by God! Thanks for sharing, Brian!
That was a wonderful miracle for John.
"Give us this day our daily bread." And we get our bread. And it is a miracle. Hear the small, still Voice.
Silent miracles, can't be beat. Thanks for sharing.
Brian, I love your stories. I do count both as little miracles. I'm part of a prayer team, and we see so many healings, but it is the little requests that are so often answered that amaze me and remind me of how powerful prayer is. On a trip to Israel, another traveler had a killer sinus headache pop up. We were in the shadow of the Church of the Transfiguration with just a minute of time before we had to go, so I prayed: Holy Spirit, please heal Naomi! And she breathed in, and all her pain and symptoms were gone. She was so excited. And another who's back was in pain, we were on the path Jesus walked from Bethlehem to Capernum. I prayed for Jesus to heal her back and she went from an 8 to a 3, eventually to a zero. He is so good! And the little prayers like asking Jesus to handle the very difficult client when you're out of energy, and the next call is from a co-worker literally updating you on the solution. I say, especially with your beautiful new baby, ask often! You are one of the Lord's great evangelizers. Ask away! I bet He blesses you often!
@BrianHoldsworth Not wanting to inconvenience the sleeping passenger on the plane is the most Canadian thing I have heard in a long time.
Ha ha! I was thinking the same thing!! 😆❤️✝️🕊️🇨🇦
Praise God for His enduring care and love.
I remember having the same instant healing. Years ago, I experienced this lingering right sided headache that won't go away even if I took painkillers. I woke up everyday hoping the pain will be gone. On the third day, I woke up still with the head ache, I sat in my sofa, closed my eyes and just prayed to God to please take away the pain and heal me. And in an instant, the pain was gone.
A couple of Christmases ago my uncle passed away. His wife knows I like to sing and she asked that I sing for his burial, and I said yes. I started getting sick leading up to the day and I said "I don't have time for this. God is going to have to take care of this because there is no other option." I didn't end up getting sick even though I started feeling all the hallmarks of a cold forming. Praise God I was able to sing. 💙
Also, I started a Novena this week. I've never done one before, and I just cant take it anymore when it comes to my current struggles. I'm really trying to trust God and let Him help. It's a part of my life that I've had trouble giving to God, but it's time now.
Thank you for sharing! How encouraging!!
Cool stories, man. One encouragement I took from this was that I need to get better at bringing all my concerns to God first instead of as a last resort. I struggle with that too.
I can't recall any specific instances, but I've had so many divine deliverances that I lost count years ago. Most of them came before I could even pray for deliverance. Deo gratias! ✝️
I was diagnosed with Cholestasis of pregnancy in my 4 pregnancies, which presents a big risk of stillbirth. My husband and I both prayed a 40 day rosary novena asking Our Lady to intercede so that our babies would be born alive and healthy. Our prayers were definitely answered! ❤ now I homeschool my 4 little gifts!❤
I really enjoyed this, Brian. Everytime I pray for the intercession of St Anthony, he always comes through one way or another.
God is great! As you share these two stories of God's power and mercy, on this side of the world, these days I'm first-hand hearing a case of a "non-believer" experiencing His healing power over cancer because of their new-found belief in God.
Thank you Brian for sharing. Look for the mini miracles, like God, they are everywhere. We just have to open our hearts and eyes and look for them.
I don’t know if it qualifies as a miracle, but I was washing dishes the other night while my youngest ate dinner in her high chair. She started to fuss, but I was so close to being done that I kept working. Something told me to look up, and I saw that she had climbed out of the straps on her chair and was dangling head-first over the side. I ran over to grab her and saw that the only thing keeping her from a trip to the hospital was one of her legs still had part of the strap around it. I firmly believe that God protected her.
These types of miracles are usually guardian angels protecting us, by the grace of God.
Thank you for sharing, little miracles matter as well. May God bless you and your family 🙏🏼
Jesus, I trust in you! Sometimes we forget to ask him. He is always with us. This is a good reminder to ask and give thanks.
GOD IS Very GOOD !
I believe you! That sounds *exactly* how my Father would accompany you through your trial. I love Him. Thanks for sharing and CONGRATULATIONS on the new baby!
That was inspirational, thank you for deciding to post your 'two miracles'. It opened my eyes to the 'smaller miracles' that I sometimes overlook!
I can share my story too: A couple of months ago my wife got pregnant. Where we live, if you have an employment contract and get pregnant, you get 100% of your salary for 2 years while on maternity leave. And it's illegal to fire such a woman because she's protected by the law. In our case this wouldn't work because my wife was employed based on a different type of contract that didn't guarantee this benefit, so she had to start looking for a new job in her first weeks of pregnancy. It's another problem because employers are not keen to hire pregnant women because they know that after one/two months they'll go on leave. Of course I have a full-time job but living only on my salary for some time would be challenging. So we started praying. After two weeks she find a new job in a catholic kindergarten. Before signing the contract my wife revealed her pregnancy to the new employeer and they just congratulated her and said it was great that new life is on its way. Also, they said that if she felt worse she should immidiately go on maternity leave and that they would take care of the rest.
These simple things are certainly worthy of praising God over. Blessed testimony of God's personal care and obvious answer to prayer. Love it and am moved by it.
Bruh, God spoke to me a few days ago after weeks of anxiety. Just those few words calmed me down and encouraged me.
I have long admired your gentle and sincere faith. Thankyou.
Many miracles are well-attested, but skeptics almost never look! If they do look, they deny out of hand.
That's because their belief systems depend upon that reflex. Nail them down on definitions and watch the cognitive dissonance kick in.
Why are we surprised when God answers prayer; He told us to ask and we would receive but so often we forget to ask. I remember once I was in a job I really hated and had recently been to an interview for another job which I desperately wanted. The interview went well and I thought I had the job but when I hadn't heard back, I phoned to find out what was happening and was informed they had given the job to someone else. I was crushed. Anyhow, soon after receiving the bad news I was at my desk, thoroughly depressed and miserable, and quietly said to God, please God, isn't there someway I can have that job I had interviewed for. Not five minutes passed when I received a call to say the person they had selected had decided not to take it and the job was mine. Wow, was I thrilled and so, so grateful to God for that.
Thank you. I really appreciate this powerful video.
I've had many answers to prayers over the last few years. Don't give up and keep praying and hoping.
Brian thank you kindly!❤
God bless you and your family!
These stories are AMAZING and bring me to tears. Thank you for sharing such great examples of your surrender and God’s mercy. So real. So concrete. So simple. Thank you, Brian. God bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing. That’s very encouraging that God was present in the moment for you in a way that you could clearly see.
Greetings Brian, I really appreciated listening to this after coming home tonight. Wishing you many blessings!
🕊️🌲☺️
I love your stories of the miracles, I have had small miracles in my life also, don’t doubt, just believe,🙏🙏🙏🙏
100%
Do your duty faithfully according to the church and stay in a state of Grace (can be done with practice) and pray for what you want. Ask God directly and ask the saints of your choice to pray for you.
You'll get what you want, in my experience.
Praise God!!!
Thank you Brian you definitely needed to share this it proves God's willingness to answer prayers especially the little things that involve The concern and care for others
Thank you, Mr. Brian, thank you.
Hello Brian, yes God does answer prayers, either directly or indirectly through others. God did answer your prayer and gave relief to your son.
Gods healing had at work! Amazing! ❤
Wow, that's a very inspiring story. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing, I needed so much to hear some uplifting story :) Have a good advent! +
God is good! 🙏🏻
I was driving in a downpour and suddenly my windshield wipers stopped working. I began to pray a Hail Mary and immediately they started working and never froze up again.
Praise God!!! God bless you and your family and baby John.☺️🙏🏼
Our pastor said, "All prayers are answered- Yes, No, and, "time must pass before the answer can occur."
Miracles like this happen to me all the time. God is wonderful to me…. as soon as I remember/decide to ask for help.
So cool. Thank you Father. You’re so good!
those are wonderful small miracles. Praise the Lord all the day long.
I'm of the mind that we all see and recognize a lot more miracles than we're willing to admit. Little miracles like you mentioned which make people think they'd feel/look silly telling others. Some even go beyond physical explanation, but still aren't for what we would consider a grand purpose. But even those, with the veil of time, can be remembered as commonplace, like seeing a pillar of fire or cloud every night and day. If miracles are meant to demonstrate the glory of God, we should acknowledge them before we forget them.
Way to go Dad!👍👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing- this was wonderful.
Wow. Thank you for sharing Brian, the miracles and your discernment. Two personal encounters with God. Can't prove it, don't have to. God sees you and hears you. Isn't that just wild. I call those Mountain Top encounters with our God. I discern they are a grace, to encourage us in our walk with Himself.
As an American (Minnesotan to be more specific), I always forget you’re Canadian because I find you like super relatable to me but when you say things like “I had the urge to go to the washroom” I’m like yup that right lol
You would say “restroom”
last summer i woke up one morning around 4am with mild abdominal pain. it wasn't terrible, but the particular sensation wasn't anything i'd ever felt before and i started to get a really bad feeling about it. over the next couple of hours it steadily got worse until i could hardly stand up. The whole time i was debating whether or not i should go to the hospital and i was praying for God to take the pain away. Around 7am i finally called my mother and asked her to drive me to the ER. Almost immediately the pain began to recede and by the time my mother got there to pick me up I could walk around comfortably. we decided to go to the ER anyways, and it turned out that I had appendicitis and ended up in surgery for it that day.
As far as I'm aware, appendicitis isn't usually something where pain just stops if you take advil and ignore it for a couple hours. I'm convinced that God took away my pain, but that he waited to answer my prayer until i'd decided to go and get the medical care that quite possibly saved my life
Beautiful!
Thanks for sharing Brian. Beautiful to hear.
Hey Brian, thanks a lot for sharing, that was really inspiring. With regard to the case of your newborn son, I had exactly the same situation with my son few years ago- so little children just can’t breathe through the mouth. And though I didn’t experience a miracle back then, I can totally share your pain connected to this. God bless you, bro!
You called your first story silly but I think it profound. God is there for us in the great, but also in small ways. To know God cares enough for us that when we reach out even in seemingly insignificant things he’s there.
praise be to the lord for your testimony. may the lord bless you with many more years of peace and prosperity
Every sincere prayer is answered, Brian. It may not be immediate, and it may not be affirmative, but it is answered.
At adoration I have received "the word of knowledge" more than once. I have received consolations of the Holy Spirit that perfectly coincided with answered prayers. One was the breaking of an intractable infection in a "walking saint" in my parish. Another coincided with a blood test which revealed that a mother was able to carry her child to delivery, as their blood types were incompatible. I have asked to bear the spinal pain of a fellow parishioner and have received it. That same pain returned another day at adoration and 30 seconds later, the same parishioner walked into the chapel. I have a nightmare medical resumé. Having had three blood cancers, multi-relapsed and being in 6th remission, my atheist hematologist called my recovery "a miracle". I had less than a 0% prognosis. Of note is that I have received the Sacrament of Anointing many times and thousands of online prayers. The message is God's MERCY.
Your story is simply wonderful. May God bless and guide you & your loved ones!
I am happy you shared. I am asking the Holy Spirit to give me and others the gift healing. I believe we will need it.
I saw a quadriplegic patient mute x 6 years except grunts and noises, could not even indicate y/n except by eye movements.
One day, after extreme frustration at failed communication, his physician and nurse said a prayer that he might regain his speech, away from his room. 10 minutes later he was speaking clearly enough to communicate his needs and enjoy talking again.
Thank you, i needed to hear this🙏
my little miracle has always been when I was a little kid I would always lose my swimsuit, and so whenever we'd go to the beach or pool I'd be in a panic trying to find it, and always, just after I prayed about it I would find it. These little miracles help so much when I'm struggling with doubt
This should be your first resort in the future brother. God bless all of you.
Thanks for sharing 🙏
There are no coincidences with God!
It’s happened buddy! Direct unambiguous prompt answers. Sometimes I get a hard no as well.
