Nobody said God is powerless and nobody said God is inactive. God is active indeed but active in the hearts of men.
Luke 17:20When asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, Jesus replied, “The kingdom of God will not come with observable signs. 21Nor will people say, ‘Look, here it is,’ or ‘There it is.’ For you see, the kingdom of God is in your midst.”
"No observable signs" has no other meaning apart from "no observable signs". So a kingdom with observable signs is surely not the kingdom of God.
But you should discern times, during Jesus' times, God worked outwardly, so the verse you quoted is right for that time and not these end times.

You quoted out of context if you read the rest it refers to the days of Noah.
How the flood came and destroyed everything but people continued to
eat drink marry etc, The verses are about the end days when Jesus returns.
In other words repent now before it’s too late etc.
It was nothing at all to do with God working miracles in this day and age.
Quite honestly if a person doesn’t believe, if they are not swayed by the
Holy Spirit then no amount of miracles will cause them to believe.
That’s exactly what happened in Jesus’ time, He performed many Miracles but
people still refused to believe and asked for a sign!
However that didn’t detract from the fact the miracles were happening. It
still is the same today, miracles happen yet people refuse to believe and still
ask for signs. But miracles do still happen! The verses in no way nullify the
genuineness of miracles, they are about the unbelief of people!
