A truly beautiful movie, we all need a little hope and Faith, about 8 yrs ago my daughter and grandaughter were driving on a dirt road after it had been raining around the cliff tops where I lived in Australia. The car slid on a wet patch into a tree and was propelled over the cliff toward the ocean below. Suddenly 2 bright lights, Angels picked up the car and put it back on the road, a voice said "It's not your fault, it's not your time. When they arrived home my grandaughter 5 years old, ran inside calling Nana, Nana, we Were flying. Have Faith and teach your children to pray, believe in miracles and make God Almighty, our Creator, our heavenly FATHER, number one in our home and in our families.🙏💖🙏💖🙏

The scene where the sheriff’s mother talked reminds me of something that happened about 40 years ago when I worked in long term care. Back then the residents were typically 3 to a room. One day 2 of us were in a room caring for the patients. We were discussing birthdays when suddenly a lady who had been non verbal for years told me her birthday was April 14. We were speechless! Then she returned to her non verbal, unmoving state. Terrific movie! ♥️♥️♥️

It took decades before I realized the many Miracles in my life of God the Father, because I was young and stupid. Only when a merciful God, through His Son Jesus got a hold of me, did I realized that God protected me from certain death and serious injuries all throughout the years. Even in mu 40's, after I came to accept Jesus the Christ into my Life and got married again, the Miracles did not stop. Although my loving wife has preceded me and gone home to be with our heavenly Father, I know that Miracle do happen for anyone that God has His eyes on, regardless of anyone's religion, if only you believe.

So, I wonder what the Ukrainian people think about miracles. Nether the less, this film is lovely and I'm very sure there had been many miracles.❤I know of one from my aunt, who as a little child was gravely ill and as her mum was in the nearby church praying for her daughter's recovery, her daughter, my auntie saw a lady hovering above her cot, and she gave her a bunch of red roses and told her that she's healed. And she was completely healed instantly! I've heard this story from my aunt many times.❤

@E-Kat Жыл бұрын

@@mishelmk that's nice to hear but why these angels don't go to Putin and ask him to withdraw his troops immediately? He'd get so scared and certainly would have obeyed them. People have seen angels and you said they're helping soldiers. Why so many of soldiers have died on both sides? Angels have all these powers, so they should have used them on Putin. I just get so frustrated hearing about miracles but when just one is needed so desperately, it cannot be done! Why couldn't they have stopped Hitler and all the other murderous leaders, invading so many countries. God is watching us killing ourselves. 😭 I don't expect a reply from you at all, I'm just venting my frustration. No one has an answer to my question. It is like asking why in the Vatican Church so wealthy - against all Jesus's teachings? Every few seconds a child dies from disease or starvation, yet the Vatican Church sits on billions!! Don't expect an answer to this either. Best wishes and thank you.

Really touching Story ! " Have Faith , and you can Mountains " , Is a Well Known Quote of Christ . People around the world have witnessed CRYING Statues , or Bleeding Statues of either Jesus or Mother Mary . Many have been dismissed as False except for a few Genuine ones . I believe Miracles work BETTER when people have FAITH in the Spirit of Christ rather than just a statue . Talk to the Lord like a Friend and YOU , will surely SEE Greater MIRACLES ! As Christ said ," He that humbleth himself like a Child , shall be EXALTED ! "

Wow!! What a beautiful movie. It’s so true that miracles are happening all around. We need more great movies like this one please. I remembered when I was younger around 8 or 9 years old. I was in a river playing floating on my back. And it’s not a deep water either, all of a sudden I felt something pulling me under the water. I was fighting trying to flip on my stomach but can’t flip at all. I thought to myself this is it. But then I felt a hand pushed me over on my tummy. I can breathe again and I got out of the river real fast. I went home never told my parents or my grandma about. My parents would spang me for going to the river by myself. I never forget that day 40 years later. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for saving my life so many times. Love this movie so much. Thank you for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
