Do We Still Believe in Miracles?

Do Christians still believe in miracles? I know I do. 

In the first part of my life of faith, I didn’t believe that miracles existed because I never saw a miracle. I thought that miracles were something that only happened in the Bible. 

When I started going to churches that believed that God could do miracles and prayed for them to happen, I started seeing miracles happen. 

Once, a friend and I prayed for a woman who was like the bleeding lady in the Bible. No doctors could stop the bleeding from her uterus. We asked for forgiveness and commanded her body to be aligned and to work properly in Jesus’ name. The next day, her bleeding stopped! We have seen her over the years, and her bleeding never reoccurred! 

Some friends of mine prayed for a little girl whose legs were uneven because one leg did not grow in the same way as the other. As they laid hands on her, they felt and heard popping sounds. She went to the doctor, and it was confirmed that her legs were the same size. 

Recently, I started having a Bible study with my friend, and as we prayed together, I sensed that a demonic spirit was oppressing her. God led me to pray for it to be released from her. She was delivered and experienced God’s presence and peace in a deep and powerful way.   

A close friend of mine had cancer that spread all over her body. During her treatment, she was told that if the cancer did not kill her, the treatment would shorten her life to a few years. We all prayed for her, and today there is no cancer detected in her body! 

I have also seen healing of headaches, colds, flus, injuries, and addictions. I’ve seen God provide financially in miraculous ways. I’ve experienced miraculous reconciliations with people I did not think were possible. I’ve experienced God reveal information to me about people that allowed me to speak into their situation in powerful and specific ways. I have seen countless people healed of emotional wounds that they were carrying. We have all seen people enter the kingdom of God and receive forgiveness which is a miracle! 

At our recent spring break immersion, we saw two students experience healing. One was a woman who had a cut in her mouth which then affected the whole left side of her neck. She was in excruciating pain but tried to pretend she was okay.  She felt God ask her to reach out and ask for prayer. As my friend prayed for her, the pain left her completely, and she could not believe it herself! She burst into tears, and it propelled her to step out in new ways of faith in prayer for others. Another student received healing from a shoulder condition as he also received God’s ministry to him regarding the death of his father and his inability in the past to grieve.   

We Can All Experience Miracles 

Not every person we pray for gets healed and I don’t understand why. Sometimes healing happens suddenly, sometimes it happens over time, and sometimes the person doesn’t get healed but hopefully they experience more of God’s love and presence. 

Acts 19:11 says that “God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles.” 

God has given us the same Holy Spirit that Paul had. 

Scripture also tells us: 

• “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it!” John 14:12-14 

  And 

• “Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!” Matthew 10:7, 8    

I truly believe that as we pray for more miracles, we will see more miracles!
