I’ve been praying for divine intervention and to be able to recognize the subtle ways the divine works. Of course, I’ve been hoping for a miraculous change in my physical difficulties—but maybe Creator is acknowledging my efforts with the Lightworker Healing Protocol? SO … It’s the time of year to switch over to studded snow tires in preparation for the western winter. This past spring my kids scoured local junkyards looking for a set of rims to permanently mount my snow tires instead of having the extra cost of mounting and balancing the sets of tires when I switch them over. They searched in vain. Today my neighbor got my tires out of storage and took my car to town to switch over the tires for winter. When I saw my car later, I was surprised to see unusual rims on the vehicle. My neighbor had found my tires already on these rims and simply had the wheels put on the car. I have checked with everyone who could possibly have found rims and then had my tires mounted and balanced. It’s a total mystery—no one knows about this mysterious occurrence!” What actually happened? Was her neighbor simply being a good Samaritan and not wanting the credit?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Karma304 views0 answers0 votesIs there any value in the average person purchasing a bottle of holy water through Amazon and using it?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions516 views0 answers0 votesA viewer writes about his new puppy, the reincarnation of his prior dog as we learned from Creator: “My experience with my young puppy is a beautiful one, and he definitely started playing a game that only my last dog would know! He dropped a favorite ball down the stairs to me last night, so we practiced. [Name withheld] and I had a signature game like that in our old building, where he would drop a ball or a frisbee from the top of a hill to me down below and I would throw it back up to him.” Is that truly a consequence of some recall by the puppy of his prior incarnation with the owner?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Reincarnation333 views0 answers0 votesCan Creator comment on the practice of “Baptism?” What exactly happened when John the Baptist baptized Jesus?

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Christopher “Legends about the life and death of Saint Christopher first appeared in Greece in the 6th century and had spread to France by the 9th century. The 11th-century bishop and poet Walter of Speyer gave one version, but the most popular variations originated from the 13th-century Golden Legend. According to the legendary account of his life, Christopher was initially called Reprobus. He was a Canaanite, 5 cubits (7.5 feet (2.3 m)) tall and with a fearsome face. While serving the king of Canaan, he took it into his head to go and serve “the greatest king there was.” He went to the king who was reputed to be the greatest, but one day he saw the king cross himself at the mention of the devil. On thus learning that the king feared the devil, he departed to look for the devil. He came across a band of marauders, one of whom declared himself to be the devil, so Christopher decided to serve him. But when he saw his new master avoid a wayside cross and found out that the devil feared Christ, he left him and enquired from people where to find Christ. He met a hermit who instructed him in the Christian faith. Christopher asked him how he could serve Christ. When the hermit suggested fasting and prayer, Christopher replied that he was unable to perform that service. The hermit then suggested that because of his size and strength Christopher could serve Christ by assisting people to cross a dangerous river, where they were perishing in the attempt. The hermit promised that this service would be pleasing to Christ. After Christopher had performed this service for some time, a little child asked him to take him across the river. During the crossing, the river became swollen and the child seemed as heavy as lead, so much that Christopher could scarcely carry him and found himself in great difficulty. When he finally reached the other side, he said to the child: “You have put me in the greatest danger. I do not think the whole world could have been as heavy on my shoulders as you were.” The child replied: “You had on your shoulders not only the whole world but Him who made it. I am Christ your king, whom you are serving by this work.” The child then vanished. Christopher later visited Lycia and there comforted the Christians who were being martyred. Brought before the local king, he refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods. The king tried to win him by riches and by sending two beautiful women to tempt him. Christopher converted the women to Christianity, as he had already converted thousands in the city. The king ordered him to be killed. Various attempts failed, but finally Christopher was beheaded. Therefore, he is the patron saint of travelers, and small images of him are often worn around the neck, on a bracelet, carried in a pocket, or placed in vehicles by Christians.” Is the story of St. Christopher, as recounted in Wikipedia, accurate?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions512 views0 answers0 votesDoes a St. Christopher medal tucked in a glove box actually impart divine protection to the vehicle? Will its efficacy vary depending on the priest who blessed it?

If a child in Sunday school were to draw a stick figure of St. Christopher and say a sincere prayer to St. Christopher that the drawing protect any and all who possess it, can that serve the same purpose and impart the same level of blessing and protection?ClosedNicola asked 4 years ago • Religions392 views0 answers0 votesIs the story in this post on the Internet of a miraculous power of holy water true?

About 25 years ago, I met (by “accident”) an NHL player, and he asked me to “help him score 50 goals” (in the season) which I did! It got me into Wicca, and although I was quite naive at the time, I’ve never looked back. Seems very timely on this Day of the Dead/All Saints Day.” Was she truly able to do this, and if so, through what power?
