Miracles in the 21st Century

Can a modern day miracle happen in bumper-to-bumper holiday traffic? Dr. John Ashton shares an answered prayer story that began with a lost 1946 Packard Straight-8 and ended with a scrap of cardboard he still keeps today. In June 2016, Dr. Ashton bought a classic Packard in Victoria and set off for Sydney with his wife. They had no GPS and no road map. When he missed the Melbourne tunnel exit on a packed long weekend, he found himself crawling through city traffic, unsure where to go and worried about the 70-year-old car. A taxi driver rattled off directions he couldn’t hold onto. So he prayed out loud, asking for help. A few minutes later, at a set of traffic lights, a taxi driver jumped out, ran back, and handed him handwritten directions to the Hume Highway. In this episode, you will hear:• How a lifelong love of vintage Packards and Cadillacs led to a classic car road trip• The moment of desperation, and the simple prayer, in the middle of Melbourne traffic• The handwritten cardboard directions that Dr. Ashton kept as a memento• Why a small, everyday answer to prayer can strengthen your faith in a loving God Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6…euL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

Doctors told one family to say their goodbyes, but a prayer at a hospital bedside brought an unexpected turn. This modern day miracle and answered prayer story shows how God can restore dignity and precious time, even when the outcome isn’t a complete cure. Pastor Andrew Russell of Hoxton Park Seventh-day Adventist Church receives a distraught phone call from his friend Nabeel. Nabeel’s father is in agonizing pain with only 3% kidney function, no dialysis options left, and a bleak prognosis. After praying for God to go ahead of him, Andrew arrives to find a grieving family gathered around the bed. Within minutes of a prayer for healing, the pain eases and his clarity returns. By the next morning he is walking the hospital room, and he is soon discharged to spend another year with his family. His kidneys were not healed, but he was given time to prepare and a dignified farewell. In this episode, you will hear:• Why a pastor knelt and prayed before ever entering the hospital room• The moment pain and confusion gave way to calm and laughter after one prayer• How a miracle doesn’t always mean a cure, and why a year of restored dignity mattered to this family• Other ways God still works today: a renewed heart, divine wisdom, and the right people arriving at the right time Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6…euL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com

Do modern day miracles still happen? In this Christian faith story from 1981, Mark Pearce shares how a stuck bulldozer, a darkening sky and a simple prayer became an answered prayer story his family never forgot. In January 1981, on a property in north-western Queensland, Mark’s father was cleaning out a dry dam with his 25-tonne Caterpillar D7E bulldozer when teeth sheared off the cog driving its tracks. The machine could only turn in circles. It was Friday afternoon, the Sabbath was approaching, the sky was threatening rain, and the service company warned him to get the dozer out of the dam at once. A much lighter grader couldn’t budge it. After several failed attempts and repeated prayers, the dozer suddenly gained traction, climbed the dam wall and came to rest above the waterline. Two days later, the dam was full. In this episode, you will hear:• Why Mark challenges the idea that miracles don’t happen today• The dramatic moment a broken, immovable bulldozer began to move• How a father facing a real deadline turned to prayer, again and again• Jesus’ reminder that “you don’t have because you don’t ask” and why it still matters Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6…euL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

It's often said that miracles don't happen anymore, but this **Christian faith story** says otherwise. Helen Christian shares a **miracle** that arrived as a knock at the door on the hardest night of her life. For years, Helen held onto 1 Corinthians 10:13 while raising four young children through a painful, unfaithful marriage. On her birthday, the weight of those years finally felt too heavy, and she reached her breaking point. At that very moment, her friend appeared with a birthday cake, saying God had impressed her to come. Their conversation that night became Helen's way of escape. In this episode, you will hear:- How one Bible promise carried a mother through years of heartache and shame- The unexpected 9:30 p.m. knock at the door that changed everything- Why Helen believes God's timing is never late- Encouragement for anyone who feels too weary to keep going Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6…euL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)

A **Christian testimony** of God's perfect timing: on a remote New South Wales farm, a garden fork went through a boy's foot, and help was already on its way. This **modern day miracle** story shows how one small act of obedience to the Holy Spirit changed everything for one family. Elizabeth Serra grew up on a farm in central New South Wales, with no phone, no car at home, and the nearest neighbours 3 kilometres away. One afternoon, while she and her older brother were gardening, he drove a garden fork through his own foot and was pinned to the ground. Their mum, a former missionary nurse, acted quickly, and an elderly church friend, Mrs. Fraser, who had felt impressed to visit that very day, drove them to the local hospital. Her brother's foot healed well, and Elizabeth has never forgotten how God arranged the help they needed before they knew they needed it. In this episode, you will hear:- How a prompting from the Holy Spirit put the right person at the right place at the right time- What it was like to live with no phone and no car in a remote part of Australia- Why Elizabeth sees God's care in a small act of obedience- How Isaiah 30:21 speaks to hearing God's guidance today Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6…euL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) Show less
