    About this ebook

    God has blessed my life with so many miracles it is hard to recall them all.

    It is my hope that as you read this book you can relate to similar situations in your past and begin to see God at work in your life.

    Who knows maybe you will begin to see and understand the miracles that He has done both large and small every day of your life.

    Author

    Raymond F Banks Jr

    This Author is just an average guy; hard-headed, ego-driven, and as self-absorbed as any of you out there reading this book. I believe I am; a good Christian, a great Father, a terrific Husband, a better than average Businessman, and an outstanding Sailor (my hobby). The truth be known, I am probably pretty average in all of these areas. “Some Wisdom”—being average is not as bad as it sounds; in fact it is not a bad thing at all. God has used average every day people throughout history. Just read the Bible, us average and even some of us below average people, are used by God to lead His people, build His Kingdom and do His work here in this world. My very sincere hope is that because I am average, you who read this book will connect with all or part of my story. Through this connection or this understanding, I just might be able to help you find where God is at work in your life. If I am able to do that, I have achieved great success. I have no idea if this book will reach 10 or 10 million people. All I know is God wanted this average everyday guy to write it. In doing so, I have grown closer to Him in my own personal journey. My wish—no my prayer—is that my words will help you grow closer to God, who loves and cares about you more than my words could convey.

      Introduction

      O GOD

      One More Miracle

      A book of hope and just

      maybe some wisdom

      This book was written to tell a story, to tell my story. A story of struggle, a story of hope, of prayer, of God working in my life.

      This is a story of miracles, millions and millions of miracles; some so big I cannot to this day believe them, and some so small, if you weren’t looking you would miss them. Each one of them a true miracle from God, my heavenly Father.

      God has blessed my life with so many miracles it is hard to recall them all. Most of these divine interventions came disguised as trouble, problems, or even disasters, or a least that is how they were perceived at that time.

      It is only now; in retrospect that one can clearly see God’s direct influence in my life. I truly believe that this is not unique, that each and every one of you has been blessed with more miracles than you can count.

      It is my hope that as you read this book you can relate to similar situations in your past and begin to see God at work in your life. Who knows maybe you will begin to see and understand the miracles that He has done both large and small every day of your life.

      Once you do see His work in your day to day existence you just may start to understand the purpose that God has for you and more importantly how you can take the next steps to fulfill that purpose.

      I begin this book with my life today and my latest miracle, A job—something that 10 million people today can relate too—and work backward to my earlier years.

      In this retrospect we will cover both significant, as well as the everyday miracles that brought me from my 1st new bicycle to surviving our major recession.

      The Lord says, "I will guide

      you along the best pathway

      for your life. I will advise

      you and watch over you."

      (Psalm 32:8)

      You can make many plans, but

      the Lord’s purpose will prevail

      (Proverbs 19:21)

      Definitions, Oxford Dictionary

      Miracle:

      Event due to supernatural agency; remarkable event or object.

      Wisdom:

      Being wise, soundness of judgment in matters relating to life and conduct; knowledge, experience, learning

      The definitions of two key words—Miracle and Wisdom—are included because they have many attributes in common. In writing this book and taking a serious look back I find that God has truly been at work in my life for decades.

      God’s interventions, His influence, His outright control of the situations that have swirled around me during this period have been overwhelming; it is only now that His path in my life can be seen. At the time, all of this activity was very subtle and was metered out in small incremental steps and actions. I refer to these as miracles in my life and truly they are! "Events due to supernatural agency"

      Don’t get me wrong. I am just the average guy, as hard-headed and ego-driven as any of you out there reading this book. But God does own me; He has chosen me as one of His followers, (Scary ?). He has a purpose for me, something He has decided must be completed to support His Kingdom.

      The Big Big Big Point!!!!

      My belief is that I am not alone in this assignment, if you!—yes you!—look carefully back over your life no matter how long you have lived, you will see these miracles that are driving you toward a purpose.

      No matter how hard you try to escape from your assignment, you will not succeed. Trust me, mainly out of stupidity I have tried for years as this book outlines. However, here I am writing to you, hopefully fulfilling
