How does a miracle happen?

We often hear about a miracle cure—a patient overcomes their illness without any aid from doctors—so named and documented in the Bible after Jesus performed cures in front of his disciples. He called upon the higher power of God, and his belief transferred to the afflicted person. But how can modern-day cures occur?

Perhaps a strong enough prompt from an outside source can inspire healing.

The news talks about a UK teenager who contracted laryngitis and pharyngitis earlier this year. Four trips to hospital and sessions with speech therapists failed to have an impact. She could not speak for six months.

Her mother took the 15 year old to a One Direction concert at Wembley Stadium, although the girl feared she couldn't participate in the screaming atmosphere at the gig.

The pair reached the front below the stage. Harry Styles came over and 'chucked' water over them. The girl tried to scream, just to make him notice her. To her astonishment, he blew a kiss in her direction. That's when she screamed with joy. 
After that, her voice miraculously returned.

In her own words, she said: “No psychiatrist, no speech and language, no doctor or nurse could bring my voice back but One Direction could. I said to my mum: ‘Mum listen’ and as I tried to carry on screaming my voice came back more.”

For those of you who don't know, Harry Edward Styles is an English pop singer, known as a member of the boy band One Direction. He made his debut as a singer with his band White Eskimo, who performed locally in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire, England. After gaining fame from the X-Factor, the band went on to become world-wide stars.

Just look at Harry's sweet face. I hope fame doesn't warp him the way it has most stars. It must be hard to resist the temptation of being able to do whatever you want. As an aside, my anti-hero in the Moonstone series of novels is named Harry. Wicked name!

But back to topic. It would seem that this miracle occurred because the teenager's overpowering joy conquered her affliction. Perhaps it takes a psychological feature like this to alter the way the mind functions.

A low-key change happened to me in the 80s. I'd been diagnosed with hip displacia, or malformed hips, after pain stopped my usual freedom of walking. I froze and went inward, during which time I placed my faith in God. Knowing that faith could move mountains, I threw myself into normal life again at my son's 21st birthday party. I danced all night and never felt any repercussions. That was my small miracle. My deep belief has led me to discover so many truths which are not centered in one religion.
Rather, I step out in one direction toward understanding.

Do you know about someone who experienced a miracle cure?

I have to say most of this goes right over my head and isn't something I really believe in, though I am glad you no longer have the pain you had.

Right at the end of your article you used 2 words... deep belief..... I believe that the power of the mind can create "miracles". So begs the question... is it our own mind that has created the miracle because we believe ......... if people believed that Jesus had the power to create a miracle then yes, he could, for them.

I have to admit most of this goes over my head as it's not really something I've ever read about or experienced but it's very interesting!

Yes I believe that faith can move mountains. Thanks for a reminder that miracles do happen. I needed to hear that today. Dropping by from UBC.

Francene, I believe in the power of intercessory prayers, and that the God we serve is a God who loves to heal. But also that His will prevails.

I can't say that I know anyone personally that has had a miracle cure, but thanks to the power of the internet we are able to read more and more about them.
