Should it surprise a true believer in God that God is working miracles today? According to the Bible, "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). If Jesus was ever a miracle worker, He is today. Did He ever tell you He had stopped doing miracles? To deny miracles is to mock prayer today, since even the slightest true answer to prayer involves a measure of divine intervention. God can do whatever He wants at any time. He has not gone on an extended vacation. While there is order in the Universe, there is also plenty of scope for the direct involvement of God's Spirit.
Many people are merely religious. They have never contacted or known the living God. They are satisfied with a religion which gives them rules to obey, or ethical principles to follow. The religion tells them that if they are faithful to keep the rules then they are right. But no one has ever kept the rules of any religion 100% of the time. So religious people hope their good deeds outweigh the bad. But they don't know if they do in their case. Deep within they suspect that something is seriously wrong. And it is. Because only when you trust the sacrifice and work of Jesus Christ can you be on the right track. "He who has the Son of God has life" (1 John 5:12).
Miracles confirm the true message of Jesus Christ (Mark 16:15-20). If no one is getting changed in your church or religious group, you are involved in dead religion. You need to meet the Lord. The changes God produces are not confined to inward, spiritual changes. They also include physical changes. Miraculous healings are occurring more and more these days, especially in places where many people pray as the Bible teaches us to pray. The Bible teaches there is such a thing as the gift of miracles. Read 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.
