    Jim entered college with a skepticism about life. The idea of God seemed "silly". He poured his life into a successful career in magic where a lot of his skepticism was confirmed. There really are "trap doors" and "smoke and mirrors." But despite doubts, radical things were happening in Jim's life to turn his world upside down. And then, just when he thought he had it all figured out: Leukemia. When faced with the choices of how to proceed, Jim knew his best chance of living was to allow himself to die first. Chemotherapy to destroy blood cells. New blood to replace his own. Yet how could he allow himself to endure the agony? And why was this happening?

    This guy came and did a show at UC Irvine last year and it was incredible. Totally filled up the second biggest room the campus has, 1100 people or so. Even if people didn't turn their lives towards Jesus right at that show so many people were affected and had a chance to see what God can do. This guy does great things. Pray that he would continually be used to bring more and more people to christ

    I saw you in Brussels several years ago. Fantastic show. Fantastic testimony. Best part was when you met that 19 year old female who agreed to come and meet you. You said "What would you feel when you saw the person who saved your life?" Awesome, isn't it, what Jesus did for every single ONE of us... I too am second.

    This video was shown at our church this morning. My husband was just diagnosed with Luekemia on July 14, 2011. This was such an amazing example of the life we have in Christ, but also was an encouragement to us, as we have just found a match for a transplant. The thought of the probability of that are so amazing. Blessings to you Joe! ~ Vic and Cindy

    I agree that life holds wonderful mysteries, friend. The step of faith is sometimes hard and doesn't make sense, intellectually. But God loves you even if you don't believe in Him. In fact, He gave His son for you, Jim Munroe, me, and everybody else who accepts Him. He loved the whole world so much that He gave Jesus, His Son, to die for us and if we believe to have eternal life with Him. Open your heart to Him. Bless you.

    My wife had a dream where an angel told her that she was going to have a baby in the middle of december, and that another interesting thing would happen in the middle of september. Well, she did have a baby in the middle of December, and the dream was 266 days before the birth. It takes 266 days from fertilization to birth (on average). We hadn't been together in a couple weeks when she had that dream. We got tons of sales in August and September, and finished paying all our debts sept 14th.

    @garyjohn8297 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Some of you who have added your own comments about how this is science and not God have missed the whole point. Jim is telling his story... not yours! He started with something like, "God if you are there, show me proof behind the curtain and smokin mirrors." What transpired convinced Jim, and that is his story. You can't tell him he's wrong. You can say it is not your story, but you can't take it away from Jim... unless of course you are brave enough to make a similar deal with God?

  • @fisherwomen1515
    @fisherwomen1515 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Because he asked God to make it real because he wasn't sure if he wanted to believe this, and what he went through pretty much after he prayed that is pretty much exactly what the bible talks about about jesus blood being for us and him living in us. A little bit to on point to be just a coincidence but it is his story :)

  • @MPaulHolmesMPH
    @MPaulHolmesMPH 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    By "not together" I mean sexually. The implication is that those little guys can live for a while. Think before asking these questions. I wasn't telling that story to convince you of anything. It was for others who are capable of being reached by God.

    Variety of beliefs tells us nothing about whether that belief is true or not. It is estimated that about 3% of world population call themselves atheists while a combined about 10% say they are "non-religious." You would tell me its ludicrous to assert that sense only 3% of the world population calls themselves atheist, it is a false belief. We need to look at the reasons behind a belief to determine whether or not it's true. I personally believe Christianity has good reasons......

      Chris Hoops and if I’m not mistaken, the Christian Bible is the only “religious” book that allows you to challenge it with reasoning.
      Btw, I put the word religious in quotations because so many people call Christianity a religion when’s it is a relationship

    no god in my book but a pretty cool story. its funny in an ironic sort of way that instead of having the blood of how he looks he has a that of a 19 year old female. you gotta admit thats pretty awesome.
    and i still dont see how that can prove a god. its science, medical shit, and stats. nothing more.

  • @swstryker
    @swstryker 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Why are you on here? Seriously? Is it your goal in life to criticize and mock others beliefs and faith? Does that make you happy? According to one of your posts there are "a vast number of people just like myself that live happy fulfilling and moral godless lives." If you are so happy why do you try to make others unhappy? How is that moral and self-satisfying? I think you are possibly fooling yourself.
