I remember Bro Nibley said the secret of miracles was in the “timing”.

I was once chastised by a students parents for teaching of the miracles that can happen with Christ. Two families said that I shouldn’t teach this power because not everyone can experience it. They even bore testimony to this from the pulpit. How far from the truth they were. We live in a time that miracles happen often and if it were expedient a mountain would move from its place that’s how powerful the Lord is and more. The fact that we have discovered the power of wireless communication is a miracle. The rapid advancement of technology after the Lord’s Church was brought back in fullness (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) is miraculous. The power a young uneducated boy was given to create a society of education, culture, government that prospered so that the sight of it rising from the malaria infested swamp land struck fear in the heart’s of those without the truth. Yes, miracles, manifestations, revelation, gift’s of the spirit and everything else given to us by God illustrated in scripture is alive and well. Our youth? They will need a fervent knowledge of this truth if they are to survive the Latter Days. #ThesearetheLatterdays

In the Catholic church, miracles are more the domain of the hierarchy of the church. For example, before a person is canonized a “saint”, the Catholic church (or Pope) must verify that a certain amount of miracles can be attributed to that person. Similar to personal revelation, real miracles are limited to a very few and then the miracle must be proclaimed as a “true miracle” by one who has that authority. How grateful I am to know that I live in a day of personal revelation and of miracles. I have witnessed many small and big miracles in the 40 years I have been a member of the Church. As a missionary, my mission president counseled us to look for the miracles in our lives and then to talk of them with our companions and to bear testimony of them to others when appropriate. I believe recognizing miracles is directly connected to our ability to receive personal revelation. There is no better feeling in the world than when the spirit whispers “you just witnessed a miracle.” I do not require someone else to verify my miracles for me.
