Everyday Miracles Podcast Julie Hedenborg

He was known as Diamond Jim. Never a religious man, Jim was a successful airline pilot and businessman who enjoyed all the finest things the world can offer. Although he loved traveling the world, there was always a hunger for something more. The day he died would prove to be an unexpected journey that would quench his deep hunger and leave him radically transformed.
 
In this episode Jim shares: 
Growing up in Canada and becoming an airline pilot at the young age of 18 Onset of symptoms leading up to the diagnosis of Guillain Barre Unintentional overdose of medication to manage his pain and an out of body experience Three critical words he said just before he lost consciousness Experiencing heaven and streets of transparent gold Witnessing a dark crevasse and encountering an evil being Being rescued by three angels Flowers in heaven and the appearance a Holy city, a nursery for children lost Encountering Jesus, liquid light and seeing his book of life, being given an assignment Coming to consciousness in the ICU and his first words to his wife A powerful takeaway message from his experience  
Today Jim is healed and shares that he lives an exchanged life. He is a man that has been transformed by the love of God. It has changed how he sees God, himself, others and life in general. He is passionate about traveling and ministering to others about the wonders he has witnessed and turning to Christ. He feels a joy and a peace that he never knew was possible.
 
"I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books." - Revelation 20:12 NIV

Mike didn't believe in near death testimonies until he experienced one. Sepsis (massive systemic infection) after a ruptured appendix nearly took his life. Events that transpired during the trial would have a life changing impact.
 
In this episode Mike shares:
Discovering the severity of his illness during his son's wedding celebration Moving to the operating room table alert and seeing Jesus extending his hand, "I want to answer your prayer." A supernatural experience he had with Jesus, the landscape of heaven, the colors, the sensations A sight that was so overwhelming it brought him to his knees Regaining consciousness and seeing the crash cart and defibrillator Processing his experience and the difficulty in sharing the account in the beginning Recalling the prayer of his childhood that Jesus wanted to answer How this experience impacted his faith The desire to write down what he saw and share the message Walking with Jesus daily and seeing His hand in even the smallest things A specific time that Mike heard the audible voice of God and how God was faithful An encouraging take away message and invitation to seek Jesus
"It's more than just faith now. I held the hand of Jesus. It was a physical thing, and I just know there is life after death. There's life during this life, too. I mean, Jesus is with me all the time, answering all these prayers, tiny miracles every day. I see his presence every day. You just have to be aware of it, you know, I think you just have to seek him out and  he'll reveal himself to you." - Mike McKinsey

Pastor Matt Brown has witnessed miracles of many types personally and in his congregation. In his new book, Matt takes a deep dive into the subject and invites the reader to discover Jesus as not only Savior, but as a Healer.
 
In this episode Matt shares:
What led him to write a book on miracles  His own personal miracle healing The "soul cry" and how God is moving through these times A powerful resurrection miracle of a young boy in Communist Vietnam  How to pray for a miracle (in the name of Jesus) Jesus wants to do a miracle through you! Healing of the soul, emotions and spirit When you are in the waiting for the miracle (keep praying!) Prayers don't expire! They outlive us! The power of his mother's prayer when he lost his faith The complex nature of healing and looking at how Jesus modeled this  A Blessing over those listening that are experiencing hardship  
John 14:12-14 "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." -Jesus
 
"God is doing miracles. He is changing lives. I don't know what God will do in your life, but we don't believe in what He will do, we believe in what He can do, and that's where our faith has to lie. Miracles draw attention. I believe the more we pray, the more miracles we see. There's a direct correlation. It's so important for us to pray out loud in Jesus' name. There's no other name under heaven by which man can be saved." -Pastor Matt Brown, Sandals Church

Rick Bell’s life began with his mother giving him up at birth and refusing to ever meet him, causing life-long feelings of rejection that he medicated by overachieving in everything he did. A powerful supernatural encounter with Jesus forever changes his life and calling.
Highlights Rick shares in this episode:
A dramatic encounter with Jesus while he is on the job How his life changed from atheist to being filled with the Holy Spirit Revelation of the spirit of rejection at work in his life from birth and the effect Learning to fight in the spirit realm and being called to the ministry of deliverance A word and warning from God (2015) about a time that is coming where warfare will be like nothing we have yet seen How we often open the doors for demonic spirits to get access and a brief word on how we can stop this to find healing and freedom  
“Rockin” Rick Bell has been a public speaker, author, and performer for over three decades. He earned his nickname, ‘Rock,’ as a professional Kickboxer and decorated Police Officer in his twenties.

Trigger Warning: loss, suicidal ideation
 
Jennifer is a wife, mother of four, and an educator who is passionate about helping struggling students. One evening on a routine run to pick up her child, she collides with a motorcyclist. Despite her desperate prayers and efforts made, he passes away. Everything begins to unravel and life as she knew it was falling apart, her identity, faith and mental health. She battles the voices of guilt and whispers of shame and countless questions without hope of answers on this side of heaven. 
 
In this episode Jennifer shares:
A bit of her faith walk The night of the accident and praying for a miracle The unimaginable loss, shock and facing the possibility of prison Her rock solid faith being shaken for the first time How God moved through people and circumstances  A vision in a church service God gave her of David in heaven and a word from God Fully surrendering her fate and trusting it to God before her court decision Learning about "cities of refuge" found in the Bible Being called to share her testimony for the first time and its effect Being led to serve in a ministry to help others who are seeking hope after causing accidental death or injury  
"I will tell you, in those darkest, scariest places, have hope for the day because God has a plan. The work done on the cross was meant for you too. That there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that can separate you from the love of God that he is in complete control.  He will give you perfect peace and if you trust him, he will make those things work out for good." -Jen Eikenhorst
 
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:26-28 NIV
