I know God still works in marvelous ways i nthe lives of believers, but I think the age of true miracles is past- While God does save from disasters and illnesses, the true miracles that ‘wowed’ everyone like the raising of hte dead, and the restorign of eyesight with nothign but spit and mud and some even say, the restoring of hte denturians head (soem biblical scholars say that Peter cut his head off- not the ear as is commonly thought), are all miracles that we no longer see- the real “That is a true miracle” type of miracles. Today, God does divinely intervene, but in more subdued ways- and while the ways may be incredible in their own right, I don’t think they rise to the levels restoring body parts, walking on water, turnign water into wine, raising hte dead etc.
No we don’t see much of that…CottShop. But Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. It’s our generation that has changed…not God. I’m afraid we’ve become callused and doubters just like Thomas was. We moved away from Him…He’s never left us.
If we have the simple child like faith to believe Jesus will heal us…He will!
It’s so funny that you asked this question as the Holy Spirit has been leading me the past few weeks to all the miracles that happened with Smith Wigglesworth and others when folks had a simple faith to believe what God tells us in the Bible. That we have the power and authority using Jesus precious name to cast out demons and see healings happening everywhere!

And many, many miracles are happening today in places like Africa for one

And You Can see It all happening too! Because it’s not you doing the healing…it’s you having the faith to believe that Jesus still heals.
Any Christian who believes in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and who has made Him Lord of their life can pray for the sick - It says so in scripture:
Mark 16:17 Believers will be given the power to perform miracles: they will drive out demons in my name; they will speak in strange tongues;
Mark 16:18 if they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be harmed; they will place their hands on sick people, and these will get well.”
Ready- I’ve researched wigglesworth before, and I discovered that none of his suppsoed raisings from the dead were ever recorded, and htere was some kind of funkiness regardign his wife’s suppsoed healing too while his child died of illness. If I recall right.
