Walking On Air


                            By Phil Scovell




          Many people today, claiming to be true Bible Believers and insist
     they  take the  Bible literally,  do  not believe  there are  miracles
     today.   This, along with the gifts of the  Holy Spirit, died out with
     the last apostle; whoever  that was.  I thought you might like to read
     about one of the most unusual miracles I have ever heard.  It happened
     to a personal friend  of mine.  So, if you have  trouble believing it,
     I'll be  happy to put  you in  touch with him  and you can  decide for
     yourself, after talking with him, if he is telling the truth or lying.

          Brother James was my pastor many years ago.  He told me that back
     in the earlier days of the so called Charismatic movement, he not only
     saw miracles but experienced several  of his own.  Here is just one of
     those miracles.

          The service was over.  Many people had come to the altar and were
     born again,  healed, and otherwise ministered to  for whatever reason.
     Brother James  was  on his  knees praying  and was  just  lost in  his
     thoughts with the Lord.   When he finally looked  up, only one or  two
     other people  were still  at the altar  praying.  Nearly  everyone had
     gone home  but he noticed  three elderly  women seated about  half way
     back.  He told  me that he began walking slowly down  the isle when he
     noticed  the  three  women beginning  to  whisper  between themselves.
     Based upon the mood he was in, he felt irritated they would be so rude
     as  to disrupt  the incredible  feeling of  the  presence of  the Holy
     Spirit  in  the  church building  that  night.   He  said  nothing but
     continued walking  slowly down the  isle.  The  closer he came  to the
     three  women, the  louder their  whispers became  and they  even began
     pointing at  Brother James.  This of  course, irritated him even more.
     He still said nothing.  A  few more steps and he was passed  them.  By
     this time, they had almost  become obnoxious with their whispering and
     pointing.  Once passed where the women were seated, he decided to turn
     and say something to the women about their behavior.  Swinging around,
     he  opened his mouth  to speak but  then heard what  they were saying.
     "Look  at  him!" they  said  excitedly  as  they pointed.    His  eyes
     automatically followed  their pointing fingers  and he looked  down at
     the floor where he was standing.  He  was standing at least six inches
     above the floor in the thin air.  he had walked several yards down the
     isle walking  six inches above the floor, yet  it felt solid to him as
     if he had been walking  on the surface of the floor.   When he glanced
     down to  see what the  ladies were whispering  about, he felt  himself
     slowly sinking until his shoes were once again on the floor.

          Now,  those who  say miracles  died  out with  the last  apostle,
     whoever  that  was,  always  ask  a simple  question  when  they  hear
     something like  this.   "Why?"  In  other words,  why would  God doing
     something like this in the first  place?  For the same reason  He does
     all miracles and that  is, so you might believe.  How  do I know this?
     Since we all  claim to be Bible  Believers, let's read what  the Bible
     Says.

     And some of them  said, Could not this  man, which opened the  eyes of
     the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?  Jesus
     therefore again  groaning in himself  cometh to the  grave.  It  was a
     cave, and a  stone lay upon it.   Jesus said, Take ye  away the stone.
     Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this
     time he stinketh: for  he hath been dead four days.   Jesus saith unto
     her,  Said  I not  unto thee,  that,  if thou  wouldest  believe, thou
     shouldest see the glory  of God?  Then  they took away the stone  from
     the place where the dead was laid.  And Jesus lifted up  his eyes, and
     said, Father, I thank thee that  thou hast heard me.  And I  knew that
     thou hearest me  always: but because  of the people  which stand by  I
     said  it, that they may believe  that thou hast sent  me.  And when he
     thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  And
     he that was  dead came forth, bound  hand and foot with  graveclothes:
     and his  face was bound  about with a  napkin. Jesus saith  unto them,
     Loose him, and let him go.  Then  many of the Jews which came to Mary,
     and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him.
     (John 11:37-45 KJV).
