“Jesus was only hindered because the people refused to come forward and present themselves”

Mark 6:5-6 says “And He could do no miracle there except...”

The Word couldn’t be any clearer.

Belief in His power to heal isn’t “shamanism.”

Hey, I was there. She was blind since birth. I looked into her eyes. She looked into mine. She could see. Then she couldn’t.

I suggest that whatever denomination has been putting this stuff in your head, that you leave it. Find a church that thinks that we have a God who loves people and wants to heal.

So the fish Jesus called into the nets believed? The water He turned into wine believed? The fig tree He cursed believed?

Many of the people Jesus healed had no idea who He was. The miracles Jesus did were meant to confirm Him and His message. If the people already believed, there would have been no need for the miracles in the first place. By necessity they happened to many unbelieving people. The difference is they did not resist Him.

When Jesus came to His hometown they refused to come forward to be healed because they did not want to believe in Him. They knew Him as the carpenter's son and wanted Him to be only that.

As far as your story of the blind woman, it pretty much ruins your credibility as far as I am concerned.
