The Bible says God is the same yesterday, today and forever. But many of us have never seen or touched the miraculous. So is the powerful demonstration of miracles that took place through out Christ’s ministry and in the lives of the Apostles and Old Testament Prophets still available to us today? Do they even happen anymore? You bet they do. How can I be so sure? Because the miraculous has touched my life, interrupted my life and changed my life. In case you are wondering if there is something special about me, there is not. I am a flawed human being who has struggled with great obstacles during the course of my life and at times failed miserably. But if there is one redeeming quality that has served me in the kingdom of God it is the spiritual hunger that lives within my soul. Earnestly seeking answers to the most daunting questions of life after a near death experience, I found them when I found him. Yearning to touch, feel and discover the greatest mystery of the universe, the Creator of it. My soul found its resolve in the arms of Jesus, my Gentle Shepard.
As I look back over my life and each sacred manifestation, I have pondered how and why. Having lived a life riddled with mistakes, highs and lows one would never think I would qualify for a miracle and I would have to agree with them! Even my oncologist took me back when she asked the question, “ Why you Teresa?” Further elaborating, “all my patients pray for miracles. This Cancer center is filled with patients that are dying. Everyone of them pray for a miracle. But why you? Why did you receive a miraculous healing? I did not have an answer and the question lingered in my heart for many months.
I knew I didn’t receive a miraculous healing because I deserved it, because I somehow earned it. There are far better people than I who certainly outrank me when it comes to holiness, goodness or moral merit. And yet I have been touched by the Divine not once, not twice but on many occasions. I have found a place where the supernatural manifestation of the Power of God has over shadowed me, over taken me. I have been taken to paradise outside the City of God. Yes, it is real. The place we’ve heard about since we were children. When in an attempt to comfort our broken hearts we were told, “It’s ok sweetheart, they’re in heaven now. You’ll see them again someday.” In a life altering inexplicable moment I was transported to the shores of its ethereal paradise.
I have contemplated this event for forty plus years and wrestled with its implications. I have been more than reticent to share it for many reasons, not the least of which being my failure to live up to its Holiness. But that is where the extra-ordinary meaning of grace comes in. I guess that’s why they call it amazing. Simply put, none of us are worthy, none of us are deserving. All these years later, after a number of miraculous encounters, including my medically certified healing, I have asked the Lord the question my oncologist asked me. WHY? Why me? After much reflection, prayerful consideration and time alone in his presence I feel he has given me insight into the possible answer. Beauty in place of ashes. Splendid vibrant health where there was disease and ecstatic joy in place of a broken heart.
Delving deep into prayer and divine discovery, I realized in my desperate need I somehow stumbled upon powerful truths that were keys in unlocking the miraculous. If sharing these truths would help just one person touch Heaven, come face to face with our savior, and receive healing of their heart, body and soul, than I have an obligation to share what I have learned. The Seven Stone Path to Miracles, that’s what we need to know.
Stones were used through out scripture to record a notable event, a new season. To secure a physical reminder of the faithfulness of God. To mark a time and place where a Divine interruption of God dispelled the ordinary. Where the supra-natural conquered or swallowed the natural and superlative transformation took place. The Lord is no respecter of persons and what he’s done for me he most certainly will do for any who calls upon his name and begins their journey down the path of the miraculous.

It is the season of the miraculous.
