When Faith Outruns Your Foundation

Send us Fan MailA miracle can comfort you or confront you, depending on what it exposes. I’m Chaplain Terry Warner, and I’m sharing a personal testimony that still challenges me: God healed my eyes, and instead of celebration, I ran into skepticism and confusion. That moment forced a deeper question, not about whether God can move, but about whether we’re ready to accept what He does when it doesn’t match our expectations.From my call into ministry in 1972 through Isaiah 58:6–14 to the early days of Bible studies marked by healings and the gifts of the Spirit, I walk through how easy it is to jump out “full bore” without the biblical foundation to carry the assignment. Then I tell the warehouse story that humbled me the most: pride, a back injury, a chiropractor’s price quote, and a faith declaration that turned into a private repentance on my bed. The point isn’t theatrics, it’s transformation. Real faith doesn’t just ask for healing; it lets God correct the heart behind the need.We also talk about spiritual discernment in a noisy world, why we often fixate on people instead of the spirit behind the conflict, and what Saul’s life teaches about getting in front of God. I recommend reading 1 Samuel and comparing Saul’s drift with David’s heart, then asking the hard question: am I doing what the Lord wants me to do, or just what I think is “for God”?
