Why Don’t We See Miracles Like the Apostles Did?
Are we not Spirit filled like they were or is it from lack of faith, prayer, or fasting?
I believe we experience some miracles but nothing like they did.
It's important to have a understanding that the apostles were witnesses of the resurrection of Jesus.
So they had strong faith to believe and do miracles, rather than someone who has not seen. The same
Spirit of power they had, they were preaching to those around them and those who received there word,
received that same Spirit which comes from it. Yet they were not strong in faith as the apostles. So they had
to grow in it. Now from that time, though the church was continuing to grow, so was the rise of other religions.
The main problem I find with miracles today is that, the majority of many Christians are still babes in Christ.
They have accepted and received the Spirit but they are not operating by it, nor can they if they don't grow in
it. There are so many distractions in the world and if our mind is mostly carnal, than how can we expect to walk
in the Spirit and do miracles. Some people don't believe in miracles today, because of lack of seeing it. But if you
claim to be Christian then you should always believe in miracles and healing's and the power of God, whether you
see it or not. Some say they believe in Jesus, yet deny the power of God, which makes no sense because that's what
he is. Hebrews 13:8 says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday today and forever. Therefore if Jesus healed then,
he would surely and does heal today. Some people have a form of godliness but deny the power as it says in 2 Timothy 3:5
Those people will never receive a miracle. They don't have the faith for it. I don't just believe because it's written,
but I have felt they power of God myself. So I personally know that it's real, as a lot of people have that I know.
It has nothing to do with God not wanting to do anything, but what we believe and how much faith we have.
Every Christian who has accepted Christ has received the same Spirit. That same Spirit by which not only created the
world but performs miracles and healing's. We have to grow into it and allow it to manifest more in our life. There is not
one born again Christian who lacks the ability or power to perform miracles and healing's. Those who do is because they
have the faith for it and those who do not, don't. We are told to desire spiritual gifts, not every one has them but each
one of us can attain them because we all have the same Spirit by which they are given.
