I believe God heals; yes,
God heals, not humans. Actually, genuine miracles by humans hands are very rare, even in the scriptures. We seem to think that's all people did was go around healing and performing miracles in God's name, and that somehow we're missing the boat. Miracles are the exception not the rule. Now we have every nitwit with the gumption to start a ministry going around performing "miracles." Did God suddenly change the way He does things, or did
we change it for Him?
"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"—Luke 18:8
Faith, not miracles.
I don't know who the 'we' are that go around thinking all people did was go around healing etc? but even those I know who firmly believe in God's healing hand, do not think that way
a bit prone to exaggeration then? or perhaps travel in tight circles of certain beliefs?
we experience the biggest miracle of all every single day of our lives! what is that you say? the actual regeneration of our spirits! our spirits awakened to the reality of God our Savior! the stirring in our souls of His Spirit and the love in our hearts for Jesus
yeah, miracles every single day actually. maybe some of us need to kick ourselves in the who ha and understand what God is actually doing cause He is supernatural and spiritual (things we are not and even though His being is unseen we know His life...we handle His power in our bodies every day or we would all die...read some of what Paul says about moving and living and having our being IN Him)
and as an aside, I have experienced direct intervention in my life by God...yes...healing and merciful interventions and safey
I don't think I would believe if God did not make Himself real to me, and even that, by His mercy alone
No, God has not changed...but the pervasive spirit in this world KILLS belief and causes people to be ungrateful and they cannot see what is directly in front of them. further, people tend to experience how they perceive God...approaching God, in doubt, does not produce much according to the Bible..there is genuine, searching and painful doubt...but I don't mean that.
and yes there are (sadly) plenty of fakes and they have their reward in the here and now. One day Jesus may just say 'who are you? I never knew you!"..Jesus name is all powerful and the devil and his angels tremble ... but even miracles done in His Name are not the same as KNOWING Him. Do you know Him> and I don't mean are you saved....
IMO, many would benefit from a sincere prayer asking God to open their eyes...both physical and spiritual
