I'm not sure I have a conclusion on this as I often wonder how people define a miracle. I define a miracle as rare and supernatural. It defies the laws of nature and anytime a miracle was done in the scriptures, it carried a message of some type. Either to confirm a message, confirm authority, to spread the message, or to confirm the power of God.
There were typically witnesses in the New Testament who could confirm such miracles.
If miracles happened everyday then they are not miracles. If someone was raised from death on a daily basis, it wouldn't even make the headlines.
So I often believe people are too emotional and ignorant of how the Spirit works. I also believe people are quick to say miracle when really it could have natural causes.
But who knows, I claim ignorance as well and hold to the fact that God can do anything within His will and His timing.
Sometimes and often healing is answered with a no. We are finite beings and only here for so long. Pain helps us to be ready to go and more easier to let go of the things in this world.

later and weeks passed, it became common knowledge to everyone that 3 people had been suffering that specific pain. TWO were healed that very Church Service and the other one never was healed. as much as i tried to reason and understand, i believe God was in fact going to heal the TWO and not the ONE. and that is what happened. does it make sense all of them were not healed, NO. did the TWO have more Faith than the ONE, no one knows. but what i do know, the Preacher was in the Will of God and someone was healed that night.
