This question is one posed because some believe that yes they are still for today as they were back then when Jesus walked the earth while others say no that time is over. A little bit about this subject for me personally i have severely damaged eyes i am legally blind i have asked God for healing and have hoped for it believed in it and given him my faith and trust in it i have yet to recieve healing in fact my eyes are getting worse i have two ulcers in my eyes and will have to get my eyes sown shut to help them heal. so i have been waiting on a miracle i have believed i have given him my faith and my request but the opposite is happening i am not getting healed i am getting worse.

By all accounts I have every reason to not believe in miracles i have never seen or recieved one and my experience is not a pleasant one i am getting worse my eye doctor is getting nervous and so i have every right to agree with those who say they are not for today.
But i believe anyways not because i have been healed or because i have recieved but because of what i know of God because of what i know of his character, i believe without seeing because i see with different eyes. Yes there are times when i become frustrated at God telling him how i have given him everything and yet i cannot have just one miracle something that would be so easy for him to do easier than breathing but at the end of the day my faith is in Christ and whether my eyes are healed or not i see not because i see with these eyes but because i believe

one day i don't know how or when but my eyes will be healed i know this because my heart told me so and on that day i will be a testimony that my God heales the blind and that he is alive and real. yet even if my eyes are never healed i told him from the beginning it was never these yees i wanted to see with his but his and perhaps in order to see with his i needed to lose sight in these eyes. I am still waiting on a miracle and i know it is not one i can have just yet i don't know why i just know that it is not one i can have yet so i thank God for the little sight i am granted to have as of now instead.

Is anyone else waiting on a miracle? or had the experience of waiting on a miracle? Do you see the waiting as a period of growing or is it a test of seeing how long you will hold out in faith? or is waiting on a niracle a totally different thing entirely not just a period of waiting but a molding of some sort perhaps?

I was actually in hospital waiting for surgery to remove a lump in my breast. The church had prayed for me but it was still there. Before my husband left me to the care of the surgeons he prayed and laid hands on me and went home. When the surgeon came for me they couldn't find the lump and I surprised my husband with a phone call to bring me home.

My wife had damage to her uterus from an egg extraction for our IVF. We fasted and prayed and laid hands on her for a healing. When she went back into the doctors she was healed. The doctor looked at the ultra sound in shock and looked at us and said "there's no way that should have healed on its own".

I was standing in the middle of a field one day as young kid, when a herd of wild cattle came running out of the forest towards me like a wall of stomping fury. I closed my eyes ready for an impact but when I opened them again, they were running in the opposite direction. Thank you Jesus!

Sadly there is no one in my life that can do this for me no one to even pray for me I have had to deal with this on my own and by the faith i have in God. I went to see my eye doctor today and she is nervous the ulcers are not going away and she is considering sowing up my eyes even more than they are now if my eyes do not get better soon i will have to deal with even more limited vision than i do now it is a trying time for me.
To be honest I admit i am a bit confused as to why they have not been healed it seems so simple to me Jesus said it only takes faith as small as a mustard seed the scriptures say if you believe you will see the wonders of God honestly this seems like a no brainer to me especially with how powerful prayer is or at least how powerful i believe it is. to me prayer is the ultimate thing I believe it is so amazing i can pray for you right now to recieve his healing and it would manifest through the web that is how much i believe in it no if and's or butts even though this has not been my experience as it seems my prayers have little to no effect at all.

It seems the constant theme with me is believing without seeing or receiving and i cannot help but wonder why sometimes what am i missing why does he heal others but not me what am i not giving what am i doing wrong haven't i given him everything i can ect. even though i constantly am on the nonreceiving end i still believe and still give him my faith but when will it be my turn i wonder?

Precious friend, you would not be the first to be puzzled about this.
I will pray for you, and hope this Scripture study will be helpful:

GRACE Word for our infirmities!

GRACE and Peace...

God has never healed me of my schizophrenia and I hate taking the meds for it, but they keep me sane. I think if doctors can fix us then God doesn't bother. So be sure to follow your doctors advice with your eyes. Eyesight is a precious gift. I pray God will guide you in that way.

Thank you my friend it is certainly confusing to me it baffles me really merely because it seems like such an easy thing like i should merely be able to ask and receive yet somehow it is impossible it doesn't make sense to me and i wish he would make it clear to me what is going on here. the simplicity of it reminds me of a child asking for something no great faith no warrior strength needed just a small child asking and then here you go yet somehow it is so far out of my reach

The thing is I intend on moving into greater areas of faith I want to walk in the spirit and see God move, I don't see the point in beleiving in these things if we can never receive them and sadly my eyes are so damaged there really isn't much the doctors can do for them we have been trying to help them for almost four years now.

There is a realm of faith that exists for those who beleive but only for those who dare to step out into those waters I want to see exactly what faith can do and see how far it can take me in order to do this it will require God to keep his word and that he truly is the God that heals I intend to hold him to his word He said anything is possible for those who believe that sentence alone needs to be held accountable

This sounds like putting an ultimatum for God which I don't do. I can't help you there. But I do know that our suffering will be part of the judgment of mercy and compassion.

Well think of it this way God is not a liar correct? now how many times does scripture promise miracles or promise to see God's wonders if you only believe and have faith? if i tell you I will give you ten thousand dollars if you only believe i will do it will you not hold me accountable to my word if you believe i will do it? and say i do it simpl;y because you believed i did it but say you didn't believe me but someone else did and they received the money instead when you could have received this amazing blessing if you only believed.

I hold him accountable to his word because i believe his word, because i believe his word i trust i will recieve his blessing he promised i don't know when or how i just trust that somewhere down the line against all odds i will recieve it because i choose to believe. like i said I intend to move into greater areas of faith realms of the spirit that exceed merely saying we believe but also seeing what we beleive come to life because we dared to take him at his word.

Many do not see miracles because they do not believe in theem, many do not recieve miracles because they accept they cannot receive it but I choose to take him at his word I choose to hold him to it and I choose to beleive that i will be healed one day because i have greater goals than merely my eyes being healed i want to walk into waters with him that few have gone i want to test and see exactly what faith can do and see exactly what is possible for one who beleives if i accept that my eyes are what they are and that it is what it is then that is that but if i dare to beleive and choose to take his word acccept his word and hold him to his word knowing in my heart that he is not a liar then my healing is assured it is just a matter of when

Your belief comes from the gift of faith. And this comes from The Lord. Your infirmity comes from the enemy, for he knows you can see. Because of your faith(the gift of faith) you know your healing is coming. Thanking The Lord activates your faith into healing and this pleases The Lord.

It has been a long hard journey dealing with my eyes and it will be a long hard one should he allow it much longer but I went to bed thinking on this and felt a sense of releif because i was assurd of my healing so I didn't need to worry about my eyes. It truly has been a journeybut perhaps one day soon i can be a testimony of what faith can do and that our God is the God he says he is

Dear young man,
I still believe in a God that heals,and about a month ago I had suffered with passing kidney stones for about 6 months.
That night I was in so much pain and I have a high tolerance to pain literally crying in agony I began to cry out to Him that I could not go on like this. I went to sleep shortly. I didn't even realize I slep,next day I watched my 3 yo hyper GRT niece and realized about noon that I had zero pain. My Dr. had a CT of my kidneys and a referral to a specialist on order.
I told her God had healed me I have gotten to testify to the Specialist staff, the CT group staff and my MD's staff.

I said all this to tell you GOD DOES STILL HEAL! He has NOT changed and still moves with all his fullness among his ppl.

Stop trying to believe, stop trying to get His favour, you already have it. You also CANNOT make a bargain nor give him anything for He gave ALL for us in Jesus.

Just rest in him,let him bear this burden,God moves when He is ready. It may not be good ahead for you to be able to see at this time. Our lives are spiritual unto Him ,just as he is supernatural and it's NOT that he can't nor doesn't but just as Paul had a thorn in his flesh to buffet him,there could be a reason you are not aware of.

If I could I would love to counsel you in just resting,resting ,resting in Him. He is aware of your desire and your need but the importance and glorification must be on him.
I will be praying for GOD'S WILL IN YOUR LIFE!
