Eric Metaxas is best known for his biographies, told with “passion and theological sophistication,” (The Wall Street Journal) of William Wilberforce and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, profoundly moral men who took unpopular stances and have since been vindicated by history. He is also the author of dozens of other works of nonfiction, children’s books, television scripts, and newspaper and periodical columns. Metaxas is a frequent contributor to news programs on CNN, Fox News Channel, and NPR, and also hosts a nationally syndicated Sunday morning program, 100 Huntley Street. His new book asks why miracles happen and what we can do to understand and use them in our lives.

This is something that happened to myself and my husband on our wedding night. We were married in 1959 and before we went to bed my husband prayed asking for God’s blessing. He stated that we knew that many couples divorce, but we wanted to honor our vows and to bless us. At that point we felt this kind electrical feeling. We couldn’t speak, finally my husband says “did you feel that” I said yes. To this day I know God did touch us and it helps me know he is real and true.
Don’t know how I missed this vid. Just and old man now. Nevertheless I had the honor to travel around the world and witness with these tired old eyes, miracles, healings and the deliverance of hundreds. The only one issue I am still waiting for is the resuscitation of a dead person. Being a conduit for the amazing power of the Holy Spirit are events there are no words for. The humility and awe that follow still bring me to tears, at the tremendous love grace and mercy Father continues to pour out on His Creation. I pray daily that millions of you will find the faith and teachings that reinforce and validate the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It’s fun and terrifying at the same time. As a human being I have no ability to fix anyone but with obedience you can and will be used by the Holy Spirit to assist in growing the Kingdom, to His glory! Let your Kingdom come Father, on earth as it is in heaven.
I've experienced the supernatural but there are plenty of miracles that happen in every day life that we ignore
Having experienced miracles myself, I know that if God wants you to experience a miracle you will know that that is what it is. You may question it at first, but you will come to understand it and your faith will grow.
If only my son had a professor like you in college his life will be so different right now God bless you
God has His hand on this man & I’m glad to have found these presentations
I , am very greatful, that I have experienced God's supernatural works, quite a few times, and they are precious beyond everything in this world, I don't talk about them often, but when I do, I make sure that in doing so, I am not casting my pearls before swine, Shalom
If you are a believer ... you ARE a Saint. Paul made that very clear in the New Testament ❣️🙏🕊
The doctor told my mother there was 1 chance in a 1,000 of having a baby. She had a miscarriage, then was very sick later. The nurse told my mother, if you ever get pregnant, I want to see the baby. I was 8 years old and prayed for a baby brother every dady at lunch. My folks were going to adopt a baby in November, but my brother arrived in October. My mother went and showed the nurse the baby.
Naturally, a miracle [in my humble opinion] is a supernatural experience!
Very informative, Thank you. I am reading your book, Fish Out of Water! Fantastic! I my have experienced the Miracle of sobriety in ny life! Glory to God!
I have had personal healing miracles. Been healed from a debilitating ear issue. Had hyperacusis after attending an air show. With prayer after suffering for a wk I was Fully healed and Fully Thankful! Been healed instantly from migraines more than once. Stomach aches, leg pain. Saved from near drowning. Our Great God loves us and wants to heal. Let us approach Him with Faith and reverence in our asking.
Eric mentioned people who are devout Christians. Some get quite a few miracles and some receive hardly any. I have been BOTH. I started out hardly ever seeing anything supernatural, then later, as time progressed, they started happening much more frequently. I think the crux of the matter is EXPECTATION. As I started seeing an occasional miracle, I started asking God for bigger things and thinking, "Well. If He did this one here and this one there, why can't He do it again?" My view of God got bigger and my view of how much He loved me got bigger and so I asked bigger. And it seemed the bigger and more frequently I asked He seemed to delight in seeing my increased faith and going, "Hold on. You haven't seen anything yet!" Now, 43 years later, I have seen Him answer me (and others) is such big ways I am always asking for bigger stuff. If He really is ONMI in all those ways, then why should I restrict Him and what He is capable of? Which is VERY different than starting with the belief that miracles were just for the early church and don't happen these days and so never expecting to see one. The danger is that I don't want to make God my servant. Doing MY bidding. But I think when Jesus says, "You have not because you ask not" is something we really need to consider. But like Eric said, there needs to be a middle ground. We accept that there ARE miracles but we need to look at them with sober judgment and a critical eye and not just accept them wherever and from whomever, because then we are open to deception by others and ourselves. Great talk. Great video. LL
Eric, had an angel experience with my ex-husband while we were atheists. We dealt with it this way, lol: we NEVER talked about it - EVER! Think it is called disassociation, right? Only remembered the angel a few years later, when my born-again experience happened.
Sometimes I am out walking and I feel this very strange feeling like WOW... I am this spiritual being in a physical body in this foreign place. It’s like a feeling that I know I belong somewhere else... it’s like my soul jumps out and makes itself known. It’s a weird weird feeling.
God gave us Free will. We must learn and make our own way. Free Will has deep,deep meaning.
I've listened and watched Eric M. for quite a while, and I think he's just a great speaker, and a wonderful person. I enjoy his out-left-field humor... I seem to listen a bit closer...
God is Spirit & Those that Now Him Know Him worship Him In Spirit 🕊️✨🙄✝️

What struck me was how many of the questioners are seeking explanations around miracles as a phenomenon. "Maybe science will explain it later." Kudos to them for attending the lecture at all. But the stubborn rationality of people who just won't yield to the possibility of a divine creator who knows each of us and tailors miracles, even as his permissive will allow devil, is astonishing to me.
