A Life of Miracles
The cross alone would have been enough, but our Extravagant Lord keeps giving, as he asked us to pray that His Kingdom come and His will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven to this very day.
Jesus went away so the Holy Spirit could continue His signs, wonders, and miracles in our lives until we see Him face to face.
My life is living proof.
"Eye Need A Miracle" is almost here, so enjoy some snippits of the amazing miracles 🙂
Commentary from one of the rough draft editors:
I finished your book this morning! I really enjoyed it! Definitely annointed. Definitely inspiring. Hope affirming. Real. Challenging. At times it felt like an autobiography. Felt like you were talking to me. It felt like I was going on a journey with you. You did a great job not putting yourself on a pedestal. You shared your humanity. Thank you for that. Other times it felt like a devotional that caused me to pray and ask God some penetrating questions. In the end I was left with the impression that God could do those things for me and my past does not prohibit me. I'm also left with the impression that I need to dig my heels into God and press in for the visitation available to me. In short, well done!!!

BOOK INTRO: This is a true account that details the raw, intimate details of my personal life, and the miracles God brought me through were stunning, so get ready for your natural mind to be blown and position your heart as the Holy Spirit teaches you how to receive miracles for your own life. This book was written with the assistance of the Holy Spirit and the miracles detailed here, were designed by God Himself to build your faith to receive the same goodness in your own life. These accounts have corresponding scriptures and give glory to one person alone, Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit.  This book will impart lions like faith to whatever situation the devil and this world have thrown at you. The events that God brought me through prove that nothing is impossible with Him. Read it slowly, let faith rise in you, and posture your heart to ONLY BELIEVE.
PROLOGUE: If you need a miracle, then this book is for you. Most people at some time or another, whisper a private prayer like this one, “God if you are real, please show me a sign, so I can believe in you”. Or maybe in a place of desperation they say this one, “God if you just save me out of this mess, I swear that I’ll go to church and serve you for the rest of my life.” Many people think that miracles are the “Hail Mary” pitch to get a response from God because they cried out to Him in hopes that He will have pity on them. They have that mindset, because they think that He is distant or totally unconcerned about their little life like one would consider a bug crawling across the floor. I am here to tell you from experience that He is not distant, nor is He a cosmic dead-beat dad. He is a loving father filled with adoration and in some circumstances a provoked Father who is about to storm into the situation and rescue His kids. Only this Father is ever present, all knowing, and all powerful, so His enemies have nowhere to run or hide, and He is the sovereign justice system over corrupt humanity, as you will find out in this book...
CHAPTER 2:
The second biggest miracle came during a time when I proudly considered myself to be an atheist. I thought the bible was written to establish law and order, and I believed that when you die it’s lights out. Heaven and Hell did not exist, and love in this world was a short-lived feeling. It wasn’t the lasting commitment that people were saying, because that was a lie in my estimate, based on everything I had seen in my own family. By the age of 20, I was worn out and getting tired of my wild life of debauchery and being high all the time. At the time doing all the drugs made me realize I wasn’t disciplined or smart enough to go to college, and my life had no directives. I felt I had no future to become anything, after the military discarded me Having spent the last decade running down a bad path I just knew I was headed to prison or early death, and things weren’t going to change. I was burned out and ready to be done with this world. In March of 1989 I was 20 years old, and I decided to get out of this terrible place. I didn’t want anyone to know what I was about to do for fear of them trying to stop me, so I concealed my intentions. I thought I can go home, barricade the door, and cut my wrists and bleed out before anyone gets to me, so I started walking home.
Suddenly I looked up and realized that I had walked in a different direction to a drug dealers’ home. He greeted me at the door, but he was acting very strangely, and he told me “You came just in time, we are about to get high”. I walked into his living room and the next thing I witnessed was one of the most bizarre events I had encountered up to that time. Three people were sitting on the couch, but it was like they were gone in their minds. They weren’t talking or doing anything but sitting there just staring into space. In a chair across from them was a being, who was not of this world. He looked like a cross between a body builder and a biker. He had jet black hair to his waist, black eyes, and his voice was deep and creepy like something from a horror movie. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw him, and terror came over me. In fact, I remember terror filling the entire room...
CHAPTER 35:
I had just left this Jewish woman’s high-rise penthouse on Turtle Creek in Uptown Dallas. I turned on the worship music like I normally play in the background, and I was in my van driving to my friend’s business in Duncanville. With no warning like He has always done in my various encounters with Him He just showed up unannounced. I was suddenly shaking and crying and the GLORY of God filled the van.
What happened next was really important because I have never had a visual encounter with God face to face, but this was different. A 3D face of Jesus appeared out over the hood of the van, and He was laughing with a deep belly laugh so that his head was tilted back like He was going to fall out of His chair. I never saw His eyes. Normally when I dream it's in color, but this vision of Him was black and white. Then he spoke to me and said, “I AM AN EXTRAVAGANT GIVER.” Then from the Old Testament to the new He started showing me instances of scripture where He was limitless in His giving. Limitless provision, limitless wealth, limitless protection, limitless healing, limitless love. The joy in Him was deeply felt. Then I could feel something grab my ribs, which is a spot where I am ticklish, and I burst out in laughter and could not stop even though I tried. I was laughing and crying at the same time. I don’t know how I was experiencing all of this while driving, but I remember pulling up to my friend Dean’s place of business and I looked at my face in the rear-view mirror and it was shining.
I have to say that I have felt the presence of God many times, but this time was different than all the others. I don’t believe it was His presence, it had to be His GLORY, because you can barely control yourself while you are in it. I hustled inside my friend’s place, turning my face away from his receptionist, who was on the phone and as I brisked past her to his office, I stuck my head into his office, without saying anything and I motioned for him to follow me. Then I quickly headed for the main door to go outside. I could hear his fast pace coming up behind me and then I heard him gasp and in a serious tone he said, “Why is the presence of God with you.” I reached for the door and turned around and said, “I don’t know.” This particular friend of mine is very sensitive to the Holy Spirit, so he went back inside to a couch by his office and laid down crying and speaking in tongues and said to his secretary, “shut it down for the day.”
After that time, I would put people in the van and turn the worship music on and the glory would fill the cabin of the van. Whatever that individual needed to happen would happen, like deliverance, healing and even salvation to an unbeliever. One guy stopped a divorce, which was about to happen a couple days later. One of my friends was on a jobsite and I rolled up to go do some work and as he walked up to the car, he felt God and I told him to jump in and God healed his back, so he took his back brace off. A friend of mine who drives a taxi brought an unsaved guy to me and I asked him if he wanted to meet God and he said yes so, I drove him down to the lake and turned the worship music on and the GLORY filled the cabin of the van. He started wailing and yelling out, “What do I do to be saved, what do I need to do to be saved?” To which I said, “You’re doing it now. You’re meeting Him. Ask Him into your heart and always return to this place of prayer and communion, and never stay away from it no matter what's happening in your life.” The way that man cried out also let me know it was not the presence of God, because I have seen many unbelievers over the years come into the presence in a service and they never reacted like this. Experiencing this was a far more intense feeling than the presence because there was a level of indescribable holiness in it.
It lasted 6 months and then it waned when I brought others to the van. I believe it was a foretaste of what is coming to the earth through individuals whose lives are positioned and being prepared to facilitate His GLORY.
MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Questionnaire:
- Do you believe in miracles but don’t know where they come from?
- Do you believe in miracles but wonder about what God is like?
- Do you think that we are alone in this world to fend for ourselves?
- Do you feel God is too busy or distant for mankind?
- Do you think God is uninvolved or doesn’t care about our daily affairs?
- Do you think God is angry with us and is looking forward to judgement day?
If you answered yes to any of those questions, then this book is for you. How God views us has been skewed through religious folks who never knew His heart towards humanity. When you meet someone, you don’t know what they think about you or how they are going to react to you. However, time tells you through interaction if someone is a friend, indifferent, or an enemy. I have had 35 years of interacting with God. Over the years I have seen many miracles which have proven how God has treated me and the depth of His love for me. When I was 20 years old, I tried to secretly kill myself. No one knew about it but God, who can discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
He stopped me and then spent the last 35 years preparing me for this book. I can tell you with confidence that, based on the trajectory the world is on, He is a level of love that humanity at large has never witnessed. To many using the illustration of father and son paints a painful picture, so opposite to the heavenly father. I know of nothing on earth that can describe this love. I can only tell you my story, which contains 44 miracle accounts in this book alone. My life will show you who He is and what He’s like, so get ready to be blown away.
Jim Anderson's testimony about the visitation in the car:
When a friend of mine by the name of Gene Ruble asked me to join him for some one-on-one ministry time, I was more than happy to take a ride with him in his anointed van. We drove for a short while and then stopped at a secluded spot overlooking a lake near his home where he prayed and then turned on recorded ministry music. (No vocals, only music.) Within moments the atmosphere in the van changed into one of the most peaceful and joy-filled experiences I have ever had. The presence of the Holy Spirit was so strong you could almost touch it. Neither of us spoke for almost an hour. We just closed our eyes and basked in the Glory of His Presence. It was as if we had been transported into a higher realm of Shalom (perfect peace) and it refreshed my soul to the utmost. Virtually all the heaviness and tension that I had been experiencing in my life at that time left me and I was refreshed in a new and vibrant way from the inside out. Thank you, Gene, for helping to usher in the Presence of the Holy Spirit and thank you lord for ministering to me in such a personal and intimate way. To God be the Glory!
Endorsement:
Gene Rubles book “Eye need a miracle” help readers who have real issues in life such as drug and alcohol addiction, homelessness and unemployment, marriage and financial issue to face these issues and discover the way to resolve these issues. He opened his heart regarding his shortfalls and failings so that readers can identify themselves with his struggles and hopelessness and then he reveals how he found his way out with miracle after miracle only God can provide. “Eye need a miracle” is a useful and a God sent message of His love and power to those in need and crying for help when they come to the end of himself or herself and a workbook to help fellow sojourners like himself to develop a good foundation in their life in God and to grow into maturity. I truly recommend “Eye need a miracle” for those in desperate need of a miracle and be given as a special life-giving gift to friends and those in need.

Endorsement:
I am impressed by this well researched and well written story of my friend, Gene Ruble. He weaves together Biblical, historical, autobiographical, and theological threads to present His exciting walk with the Lord God for many years! The truths in these pages will strengthen your walk with and your service to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word says: “Iron sharpens iron”. You will be sharpened and strengthened by what you read here! If you are hungry to see more miracles in your life and ministry, you will be led into a new phase of seeing and experiencing the ministry of the supernatural. This is a birthright of the sons and daughters of the Kingdom of God! I love the author’s emphasis upon trust as the highest level of Biblical faith. Of course, we believe faith without corresponding works is dead. However, Scripture teaches an active faith released by the words from our heart through our mouths. But the abiding trust of the word and the promises of God is the anchor that holds us in difficult and challenging situations! I suggest you not only read and meditate on this book, but use it as a teaching manual to inspire and instruct other followers of Christ.
