Yesterday I lay hands on my wife's cramping feet, I commanded the cramps to go, Holy Spirit flowed and the cramps left. There wasn't a whole lot of fanfare. It just happened and it was done.
Miracle.
I noticed afterwards that it...
What is a miracle? Why would anyone want to heal the sick?
Miracles arise from a state of mind which is truly forgiving, which doesn't mean a mind which "needs to forgive" but a mind which recognizes there is nothing to...
If you were witness to a miracle happening, you would probably be simultaneously in awe, perhaps frightened, stunned, and it would also defy a whole bunch of 'laws' that you believe are true.
If it seems that it can't be possible...
There is a huge amount of resistance to the idea that ACIM is teaching us to perform LITERAL miracles. As in, healing the sick, raising the dead, walking on water, etc.
The resistance comes because the ego's thought system is completely...
Jesus tells us there is no order of difficulty in miracles.
He also tells us that this is because miracles prove that God's laws apply equally everywhere.
This has to mean that absolutely all illusions can be treated in the same way,...
What if miracles are practically nothing, just brief moments of correction, like brushing a piece of dust off some furniture?
What if you can just have Jesus heal something right now and be done with it and move on like nothing...
There are healings happening on planet Earth which defy the ego and undermine everything the ego world-view believes in.

There are two types of prayer. One works miracles, the other doesn't.
1) Pray for someone because you believe they need praying for.
2) Pray for someone to acknowledge that they don't need praying for.
The first kind is very common and it's...
ACIM leads off with this:

In order to perform healing miracles for others, you do not necessarily need to be what's thought of as a 'miracle worker', ie someone who has attained a high level of advancement.
The fact is, it is not you, in isolation,...
To us folk who are not used to miracles, or are not used to the power that we share with God, or the potential freedom of Christ, or the endless possibilities of immortality .... which is most of the planet...
You might not be used to telling illusions what to do. You are more likely conditioned and used to a certain degree of victimhood, or powerlessness, which means that you allow stuff outside of you to seem to have power,...
I've been starting to read "Life and teaching of the Masters of the far East". It's a collection of books, recounting the stories of travelers who went to the far East and encountered several very spiritually advanced people.
The only other...
For miracles of healing to function, there must be firm belief that healing will occur.
God's will is permanent healing, and miracles extend this, coming from love. So if there is any way that you believe healing will not happen, that...
Start off by believing that something will heal - that God will heal it. Maybe something in yourself that needs healing, or in someone else.

When the mind clearly recognizes that CAUSE is in the mind, and Cause is God, and that the mind extends God's will, God's Power can extend forth to enact miracles.
