Thank you.

Interesting.

Well, I have observed and experienced such signs many times.

As I’ve noted many times on here . . . the rain on all four sides of drying hay but not on the hay when we lived in the mud hut and were poor as could be—desperately needing the hay.

But I won’t bother you with other examples. They are not likely to scratch the surface anyway.

Alamo-Girl mentions eyes to see and ears to hear. I find that’s often true about some miracles as it is about Scriptural meaning.

I didn’t realize the Orthodox club encouraged such a low view of Scripture. Quite hazardous, imho.

BTW, Pastor Henry Wright, having wrestled extensively ‘with God’ about why only 5% of those he prayed for were healed—now has a very high percentage of healings. I forget what percentage on average, now. Turns out it matters a LOT to God about whether folks LIVE according to THE WORD, or not—ESPECIALLY IN RELATIONSHIPS—with Him and others.

Seems to me . . . if claiming to be a Biblical Christian is such an intellectual challenge . . . perhaps it would be more consistent to become an atheist or Muslim. The verse about hot or cold comes to mind.

Even Assemblies of God, Four Square and Vineyard congregations all too often go through spells and certainly pastors where the gifts and manifestations of Holy Spirit’s miraculous workings are absent to largely absent. Must be something getting flawed with their beliefs and practices.

God doesn’t change.

Man’s nature hasn’t changed.

Man’s needs for God’s miraculous interventions don’t change.

Though I’ve noted that in cultures where folks are more rawly in need of help—miracles seem to occur much more as people have a much easier time accepting God’s word as GOD’S WORD. Where there’s an absence of seminaries/cemetaries to tell people what God CAN’T do/won’t do folks just tend to

TRUST GOD TO DO WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD DO . . . AND GOD AGREES DEMONSTRATIVELY.
