Many people believe the age of miracles is over, and the miracles that Christ did 2000 years ago does not happen today. But the age of miracles never ended, Christ is still the same today as He was when walking the earth. I have attended healing services by well-known preachers, and witnessed hundreds, maybe thousands of healings, including a friend of mine who was healed of arthritis.
Why it is so hard for some to believe in miracles?
There are many things we cannot understand and must leave to the knowledge of God. In her book, "I believe in Miracles," Kathryn Kuhlman writes:
"Explain electricity; or would you rather sit in darkness until you can? Nobody knows exactly what electricity is, yet man does not hesitate to use it just because he does not understand all the laws governing its activity.
"Tell me how food is converted into energy in your body. If you do not, are you refusing to eat?
"Tell me how God touches a handful of soil in an uncultivated wooded area, and when He has touched it, the air becomes perfumed with violets.
"You paid 50 cents, the other day, for a package of seeds. For 50 cents you purchased a miracle! You have in your possession a half dollars worth of something that is only known to God.
"In this fast moving modern day, perhaps we have just overlooked, or taken for granted, miracles that take place every day of our lives.
"Tell me what sets the brain off and causes it to tick - the great brain surgeons of the medical profession would like to know too. Oh, yes. They know exactly what portion of the brain controls the movement of our every muscle, but they do not know why the brain works as it does; what triggers it into action so that it can move and control the various parts of our bodies.
"Many famous doctors have made the statement 'The birth of a baby is the greatest of miracles'. With all the training and dedication to the medical field, doctors are the first to admit that human birth is beyond human comprehension: that it is one of the mysteries and sacred things which excite the curiosity and wonderment of man, yet it remains an impenetrable secret.
"Embryological studies of a human cell show the markings of the future child - the landmarks that will be the eyes or the heart or the legs or the nose or the lips. If that isn't divine, I don’t know what is.
"The newborn baby. Hours after birth he is feeding happily at his mother’s breast. Did science furnish him with a Xeroxed sheet of instructions, telling him where his dinner was and just how to go about getting it? Was he told how to close his eyes and sleep, when he was warm and fed? Was he, unable yet even to turn himself over, told how to kick his legs and flail his arms so he would grow strong? No - no book of instructions was ever given an infant at the moment of his birth. Yet every precious little baby knows exactly what to do to satisfy his wants.
"God has never explained to man the secret of physical birth - then why should we hesitate to accept the birth of the spiritual man? Both came from God.
'That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again' (John 3:6,7).
"The spiritual birth gives man a new nature, new desires; the things he once loved, he now hates; and the things he once hated, he now loves, for he is a new creature in Christ Jesus.
How can all these things be? When you have the answer to the simple mysteries of which we have spoken and all the many more besides, perhaps God will give you the answer to the last. Until then, keep planting those seeds in your garden, keep using the electricity in your home; and there will continue to be babies born every hour".
