Not to sound defeatist- but let’s not forget though that Daniel lived durign hte age when miracles were common (TRUE miracles I’m talking- such as walkign about unscathed in a furnace) we do not live in such times- The age or TRUE miracles is over (which is why Christ said “I tell you the truth, it is harder for man today to berleive than it was years ago” [in essence is hwat he said]) Miracles WILL happen again at Christ’s return, but till then, we will not be supernaturally protected liek in htose days (however, let’s not forget that God didn’t sueprnaturally save saints who were murdered by the romans either- bottom line- Yes our God is all powerfull and cnaq supercede nature anytiem He likes, however there are no promisses He WILL do so especially now when TRUE miracles are no logner done (supernaturally restoring life at a command, restorign limbs, eyesight etc- these type miracles- TRUE miracles are not happenign today [but will again one day])
We DON'T???
1 Corinthians 12:28
And God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues.
When did they get REMOVED???
I am not sure how this directly relates to my post, but in any case i do not believe that God has taken a sabbatical rest, and the needed and blessed reality is that Jesus is still showing Himself alive by doing true miracles, from regeneration to many others.
You cannot restrict "true miracles" to restoring life at a command, restoring use of limbs, eyesight, etc. though i believe these happen to a lesser degree, but a miracles is an interference with nature by a supernatural power, I was quite manifestly been healed of a lower hernia i had for years, while others have realized greater miracles.
It is true that fabrications abound (besides or ones that may be best explained by natural causes), as well as demonic miracles, but that is partly because there is a genuine which the devil seeks to imitate. And to disallow God from doing miracles would be to allow the devil to claim supremacy of power.
And while revelation gifts will cease when we see the Lord, (1Jn. 3:2) the Bible does not teach miracles are not needed, nor that the only reason God does them is to testify to His Word, but it is His nature to heal, etc., and He promised His followers would so them, (Mk. 16:20; Jn. 14:12) even if greater works is more in quantity, due to the outpouring of the Spirit of God upon all believers on one hand, and the declension of the church on the other and which i am part of).
This kind of preaching speaks of the difference versus most of the health and wealth type. Healing is not promised for all in every case, but final deliverance is. Thanks be to God in Christ.
No miracles today - you are joking right?
