I remember the night vividly. I was only a boy when I ran in front of a car. It was late at night, and I knew for a fact that an angelic force stood between me and the headlights of the vehicle, and that it wasn’t my time yet to leave this earth.

Then there was the time when my son was raised from the dead in my arms.

And then at another time Jesus turned up in my dreams one morning and miraculously and instantaneously healed my frozen shoulder.

Just those three instances alone confirmed to me that it was important to keep my eyes on the eternal. But there have been so many more instances, that if I recorded, all the miracles would fill volumes reporting the provisions, the protection, the sense of a greater presence directing me through all the mountains and valleys I’ve traversed.

It has been my experience, ever since being a small child, that when there seems to be no apparent way forward that through prayer a doorway is always opened. Prayer turns the impossible into the possible. Prayer is not only the key, but is in fact the entrance to a life of the miraculous. ‘Ask and it shall be given’ urges us to ask our Heavenly Father for what we need, as children would ask their earthly parents.

It is His desire to answer. It is His desire to bless. It is His desire to accompany each of us on our life’s journey. He clearly states that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

At the age of twenty-five I was introduced to a lady who had been miraculously healed of cancer. She shared her amazing story with me and asked if I had ever received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Discovering that I had no idea what she was talking about, she gave me a book ‘The Holy Spirit Within You’. So the very next day I devoured this book, and before I arrived at the six steps or so of how to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit – all alone in my lounge room- I suddenly found myself dancing around the room speaking a language that I had never been taught.

That was the beginning of my adventure of experiencing ‘multiple miraculous manifestations’ and of knowing the Jesus of the Bible as my healer.

Every winter, over a number of years, I would always lose my voice. This year was no different. So I started a practice, when I would take a shower. Each time I would enter the shower I would lay hands on the sick – me – as the Bible instructed. I would enter that shower sick and come out completely healed. That then led on to me praying for others and seeing miraculous results in other people’s lives on a regular basis.

From that day on I have seen the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the deaf hear, barren wombs become fruitful, holes in hearts closed up and even the dead raised. It has nothing to do with me, but the truth can be found in the Bible and in the fact that ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever’. This scripture backs up what I have personally experienced throughout the years. For I have witnessed the healing power of God so many times on many continents throughout the world that I am fully convinced that divine healing is for today, and for those who are open to receive it and who are willing to put aside all previously held religious beliefs.

I’ve just returned from a holiday with my family to the south island of New Zealand. It has been the best holiday we have ever had. 10 days of train rides, light plane rides, helicopter rides, white-water rafting, snow, cruises plus more. No expense was spared because it was in fact a celebration of the past four years since starting OE Design – The Web Designers. For more information about my business go to http://www.oe-design.com.  But to see the joy on the faces of my family was more than enough to satisfy this guy.

But in achieving that memorable time in New Zealand there was one little challenge that had to be overcome along the way.

On the very first day we arrived in Christchurch we hopped on a tram and headed for the Botanical Gardens. We had a new camera and my youngest daughter asked me to jump into the air as she took my photo. After walking around the gardens we spotted people paddling and punting in the Avon River. That was exactly what we wanted to do. So off we took to organise it. On arriving at the boat sheds I reached down to get my wallet and to my horror it was gone.

For well over an hour we searched and searched and searched and in our searching I even at one point lost my family. But all members of the family continued to pray as they looked desperately for the lost wallet. This holiday was a miracle and we knew that God had provided for it, so nothing was going to destroy it. Finally we were able to find each other, but still no wallet. All cash, all credit cards, all licenses stolen would prove an incredible interruption to our holiday, especially as we were due to hop on a train the very next morning and hire a car on the other side of the island.

My eldest daughter and my wife said, ‘We need to go to the police station.’ Now there just happened to be a huge sign POLICE on top of a building a number of blocks away from the gardens, but I have to admit that both my son and I weren’t convinced as we followed their directions and headed down the road to the police station to report the lost/stolen wallet. We must have looked like a bunch of lost ducklings as we filed in one after the other.

The policewoman in attendance asked me to start filling out forms and as I completed one form she walked over to a box and before my very eyes pulled out my wallet. All the cash was still in it and nothing had been removed. A man had walked in and handed it in and had not given permission for their details to be handed out. I said to the policewoman that I wanted to give him a $100 as reward, but she refused to give me his details. So I couldn’t even give my money away.

The following week when we returned to the Avon River and rowed and punted, the punter who was pushing our boat stated that he was constantly fishing out of the river, that passed through the gardens, empty wallets – totally cleaned out – but I turned to my wife and simply smiled.

If God be for us then who can be against us!

It was a miracle, and as my youngest daughter stated later ‘ Dad it must have been an angel.’

Who knows?

Here is a copy of an email I sent to my staff at ‘OE Design – The Web Designers’ during what we have called MIRACLE WEEK….

I just want to encourage you to pursue your own ‘Petitions’ for your own personal financial needs and heart’s desires….and if you need someone to agree with you and sign your petition, I would be more than happy to accommodate.

The great thing I have found, and that has been demonstrated by the following testimony, is that GOD IS OUR SOURCE.

I have discovered a long time ago that OE Design, or Outasight Enterprises (which is what the OE stands for), is not my source. God is!

And by the way, the word OUTASIGHT originated from the scripture ‘we walk by faith and not by sight’ and also from the fact that everything we do is outasight (meaning ‘done with a spirit of excellence’)….

So be encouraged. Dream big for 2006. God is not limited by hourly rates, pay packets or even businesses. He can get you and I money – any which way He chooses. Remember that He is a very creative God.

Throughout my life I have had people chase after me (actually physically pursue me) and pay my bills after I put my last dollar in the offering bucket. Money has been put anonymously into my bank account. I’ve even found money in toilets(now that’s a story). Cars have been given to us – oh and we’ve given away a few too. Remember…..give and it shall be given….. Total strangers have handed us money in our time of need….and to share you many of the other miracles would take forever to explain…..how God has always provided for the Sinclair family.

So where does that lead us?

Well I simply want to thank you for being a part of the miracle that is better known as OE Design – The Web Designers!

And may I encourage you to continue to give thanks for what God is about to do with OE Design. I am very excited and know that God has BIG plans for this business…

Anyway, have a great day and enjoy reading the following testimony….

Peter

And here is the email that was sent to the associate pastor at our church….

Hi Josh

Just thought I’d share this testimony with you to encourage you….

Here’s a little miracle that you should enjoy reading….

After you spoke of the book ‘In The Footsteps Of A Prophet’ on Sunday, Shelley was prompted by the Holy Spirit that I should read it…but didn’t tell me that until Monday morning after I had in fact finish reading it, and was reminded once more about the Prayer Of Petition on page 233. I had read half of the book previous to this but had never finished reading it.

God really challenged me to then type up a petition for our weekly goal for NEW BUSINESS to come into our business every week. Once we hit those targets, cash team bonuses would start to kick in for our whole team.

As you read the following petition you will see that it was written at 7.22am on Tuesday. Shelley and I met for coffee and both signed it at about 11.00am that same morning. By 3.00pm that afternoon we were simply a few hundred dollars short of our weekly target….

So in just four hours the prayer was just about answered…

But wait…..there’s more….early Wednesday afternoon I was challenged by the Lord to get the Christian staff I have working in the office to join me in prayer agreement by laying hands on the piece of paper that the petition was written on.

One client, whom I met the previous afternoon, who had told me that he wasn’t going to proceed until the end of the month, then rang me later on that same afternoon, which was Wednesday afternoon and said that an urgency had been placed upon him to proceed immediately. The sale was made.

So the end result to date was that as of Wednesday we have already exceeded our weekly target by 30%.

Here’s the petition…..GOD IS GOOD and His Word is true!!!!!!

PETITION FOR A HEAVENLY GRANT

Be it known this day, March 7 2006 7.22am that I receive a heavenly grant in the amount of $K of new business coming to OE Design every week. Father, in the Name of Jesus, I come boldly to the Throne of Grace and present your Word.

According to John 16:23, Jesus said, ‘Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you.’

Jesus you said in Mark 11:24 ‘What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.’

Your Word states in Luke 6: 38 ‘Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.’

According to Matthew 18:18 I bind Satan and all his forces, and I render him helpless and unable to operate. They will not hinder my grant.

According to Hebrews 1:13,14, I loose the ministering spirits, and I charge them to go forth and cause my grant to come into my hands.

The amount of this grant is for the following:

$K cash flow from new business alone every week.

Jesus, you said in Matthew 18:19 ‘Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.’

Therefore, Shelley and I set ourselves in agreement, and we believe we receive now, and we praise you for it.

Have a great day!

Peter Sinclair
