I've seen a straight up miracle when I worked in the hospital. A girl was in stage four lung cancer and she asked the x ray tech, a very on fire believer to pray for her. I didn't think anything would happen, but the next day she ran up to us crying with joy, she was healed, I saw three doctors baffled staring at her chart, scratching their heads and rather upset at it all, but she was 100% healed. I've seen others, but that was the most dramatic.

Miracles do happen today. God is the same yesterday, today or tomorrow. God has never changed. Thank you Jesus. God bless us all. ☺️

My life is a miracle and definitely gift after gift. I'm in awe of it all.
18 years with no income after car accident, never gone without, on time, not once. Everything I have is a miracle.
Best of all...sharing the story of His miracles from my personal experience... touching hearts is my job.

I’ve seen a woman paralyzed for 13 years healed. Not on television. Not in front of the whole congregation with the pastor taking the glory. But in response to a simple prayer.

She went to bed paralyzed and she woke up the next morning fully able to walk. She didn’t need physiotherapy. Her legs were healed and returned to full strength over night.

Does God do miracles? Absolutely. It has always been God who does miracles. People have never had that power.

I don't always agree with the theological conclusions presented on this channel but I do appreciate the humble manner in which they present their views, always making room for others who might disagree...we need more of this in The Church.

I have always had a gift from God. I have been able to heal pain by touching someone and praying. I don't talk about it I don't go on YouTube or TV I don't make money from it and the last time I did this was years ago. I haven't known anybody in that kind of pain recently.

[reldridgejr]

This is exactly the conclusion that I have come to myself after wrestling with this topic. Thanks for explaining a difficult subject in such a straightforward manner.

Yes Jesus does. I work in a hospital. I have seen them with these two eyes

[youtoo]

Depends on what we consider a miracle. For example if someone has stage 4 cancer throughout their entire body and it has eaten them pretty much down to the bone and they are hanging on by a thread but suddenly take a turn for the better and are healed and suddenly out of the hospital going on with regular life then yeah that's definitely a miracle

Continually watering down the power and action of God in the world with and/or through believers. This is why our church sits in pews on Sundays like a book club, rather than changing the world. The gifts of the Spirit have only been denounced in order to appease human ears, rather than "earnestly desiring the higher gifts" and believing that the "power that rose Christ Jesus from the dead resides in you".
It just so happens that the only spiritual gifts that have "ceased to exist" are those that require a lot of trust, obvious signs, a risk of looking foolish, and with your reputation on the line. But ones that only require organization, or developing opinion pieces and other tasks that do not put us in such a position... of course the church says those still exist.
So go to church and listen to the pastor (teaching a weekly opinion piece), while your kids are in Sunday school in the building made for church that takes your money and determines how to allocate it among their pet projects (administration) and be sure to come back next week.
That's it, apparently those gifts haven't ceased: teaching and administration.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; "In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover"
A believer has the ability to perform miracles(signs and wonders) by faith.

[lorivandiveer]

God does miracles every single day. Every single day, babies are born. Never take these amazing miracles for granted.

[ricoflores]

I'm not minding the gift of doing miracles had ceased, I'm happy enough to hear that God still do miracles today.

[devanshroyal]

Even the thought that I'm able to think is a miracle to me

[cecilspurlockjr.]

Yes the gifts continue now n forever but never for profit or gain except for HIS NAME.. LORD JESUS.. I've received n witnessed miracles or direct answer to crying out with faith in HIS NAME PRECIOUS LORD JESUS

[Awako]

God is still in the miracle working business. He never changes

[Ihh]

God always answers our prayers...but sometimes the answer is no...or not now...

Years ago, one of the pastors in a church I used to be a member of told us a family story about his late grandfather who, according to his words, "had" (as much as any "vessel" can actually have it's contents) the gift of healing, having ministered healing to a lot of people over the years. Late in his life, said pastor's grandfather became ill with a cancer that ultimately took his life, and many people came to ask him why, if he indeed had the gift of healing, had he not healed himself, of prayed to God to heal him, and the man calmly responded something to this effect "but, why, yes, I did prayed to God asking Him to heal me, on several oportunities, and He said he wouldn't". He did eventually die from that cancer, but his faith and example lead many to Christ.

I respect these men and their answers but. Woah be careful with this one sir. First off the people who questioned the blind man where the Pharisees the very people who antagonized Christ ministry the most. Also after they was given all the proof they still rejected Christ. The truth is as many people have said in the comments you cannot talk about miracles without talking about faith. Over and over in the Gospels we see that miracles did not happen when faith was lacking and they did happen when faith was abundant. So that skeptical mindset is actually the very thing causing you to not see miracles. There is no Biblical reason to be a cessationist it is an unfortunate doctrine built on a lack of faith by well meaning men and women but still unfortunate.. Believing still in God and his Savior but a systemic doctrinal lack of faith in miracle working power.

I think the reason ppl don't have gifts today in america is because we have become very comfortable and well blessed with freedom and prosperity long ago, where we aren't really in need of them. I come from a house of soviet immigrant christians and when the church was persecuted heavily in the USSR, my family told me of the miracles and gifts that ppl had back then. They have prophesies in church from regular, trusted sources that would reveal things like kgb planted "brothers" in church, kgb raids on unauthorized services and so on. We immigrated to the states in the 80s believing a 50 year old prophesy that told of the iron cutain falling and the soviet union collapsing witbout war, and Christians leaving to america. This all came true in the 90s. So I think God knows when to give gifts to people that are in need and I believe his children in China and other places have gifts to survive the persecution they are experiencing.
