Did you then go to the hospital and put those powers to work? I ask that cause NOBODY ever does. These “miraculous” events always seem to happen in private.
And a dog healing over time is not a “miracle”
The miraculous gifts of 1 Cor 12 are no longer active. Paul even said in the next chapter...they will cease. And they did.
Everybody has their “testimony” but NOBODY can demonstrate anything in public. They could and did in the first century.
Acts 5:16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
When people had real power.....ALL WERE HEALED! In public.
So are you saying you have no supernatural gifts of the Spirit? All Spirit-filled Christians are given, at least, one. And Paul says that without the Holy Spirit of Christ, we are not even a Christian. We don't belong to Christ. Romans 8:9 We can't walk in the Spirit. What about sin. Do you still commit willful sin? That's the biggest test if we belong to Christ or not. 1 John 3:6
I had a feeling you might be a scoffer, but I decided to give you a chance. Now I see why. It breaks my heart how many unbelievers claim to be Christians, but don't abide in Christ enough to know Him. Jesus is merely a historical figure to them with no power in our lives today. Just the past and future, but nothing present. They claim to believe the Scriptures, but tear whole chapters out of their Bibles. Nothing inside a covenant ceases until the whole covenant is replaced, such as the New Covenant replaced the Old Covenant. But until then, not a jot or a tittle was removed until the whole covenant was fulfilled. Jesus fulfilled it.
99% of the dog's healing was overnight, so it wasn't "over a long time," and without the operation needed. Again, you show blatant unbelief.
It appears that all your life you have been taught a heinous lie, my friend. You are thoroughly in unbelief. All faith in the power of God has been stolen from you. Your teachers are to blame, but you are not blameless. Cessationism and Defeatism are lies of the devil to destroy faith. And you have been taught a total misinterpretation of 1 Cor. 13. You never read to the end of the chapter. The gifts of the Spirit will not end till we see Jesus face to face at the second coming.
True Christians have victory in Christ and anything is possible with His power. Paul said we must have the Holy Spirit or we don't even belong to Christ. I know I have assurance because all my prayers are answered. 1 John 3:22 (Prayers of the flesh are never even listened to.)
