Why I Know God is Real: The Gifts of the Spirit (Part One)

By: Jeremiah Hodge (View Profile)

I have decided to write a series of weekly articles on the Gifts of the Spirit and some of the many miracles I have experienced. I have taught on this subject in many nations: Canada, El Salvador, India, Sri-Lanka, Israel, The Philippines, and Uganda. I think this series will be a blessing and help many who are going through diverse trials and difficult problems that seem impossible to overcome.

I have suffered very much in my life; however, God has been very good to me. He as allowed me to be a part of some of the most incredible answers to prayers and miracles; perhaps since the days of the early first century church.

Many people, all over the world have asked me why I seem to enjoy such a close relationship with God. I am not certain. I do not have all the answers!

All I can tell you is: I have always believed in a supernatural world, I love God with all my heart, I spend hours a day in prayer, I have a very simple faith and I love people of every race, creed and color. I am also considered a very kind, gentle man, quick to forgive others.

However, I have also made terrible mistakes. I entered into a marriage with a girl who was having trouble with strong demonic forces. I thought I could save her. I loved her. In the end she turned against me and nearly cost me everything, including my life. From that marriage I learned a tragic lesson-you cannot make anyone be good-and I learned that lesson well.

The purpose for this series is to encourage the readers of divinecaroline to believe in miracles and distinct answers to prayer. To know without question that this world is not the only reality.

There is a God who loves us. And there is a spiritual world that surrounds us. A world full of miracles, signs, wonders and excitement. Many of our loved ones have passed into that world. They are living in a paradise that we could never imagine.
