Do miracles happen even now?

It all started from yet another quick decision of ours to go for a prayer meeting in Muvattupuzha. my sister and family was also there. They were also excited to see Esa after a long time.

The meeting was a grant success. there was an altar call and many people turned to the Lord. 

then this happened the preacher asked us to call in the name of Jesus to receive healing from His name. and in response many people witnessed loud that a miracle has indeed happened.

my first response was that of unbelief. (Definitely from the devil)

" Does these things really happen these days?"

" I mean these days miracles happen slowly right and through mediators like doctors"

" Was he really having a problem before?"

You know the same old question the snake asked Eve when she was tempted in the garden of Eden..." Did God REALLY tell you to eat everything in the garden?"

God knew i was not in the right track..Through the wonderful counsel of my wife He urged me to pray to remove my unbelief.

He told me if i could do it 2000 years back, then why cant i do it now?

If i can do through doctors, why cant i do it now?

 Last came a boy, He was holding a sling in his hand(something you use to brace up your hand in case of a bone fracture)

he testified he had a fracture about one week back and he couldn't lift up his hand. my initial response was Not possible. then he lifted up his hand and showed everyone. there was a huge roar of HALLELUJAH. still i was unmoved. Then his parents were called on to stage. Mother told that they were sure to see a miracle today. Such was her faith. Then his father unbuttoned his shirt to show plaster on his left upper chest. Being a doctor i could identify it as clavicle brace. and they went on to say even the hospital' name where they took treatment.

i sat back to think. see this cannot be gimmick. they cannot fool everyone sitting there. they cannot prepare so well to tell a lie. this has to be real. this has to be a MIRACLE.

logically i started to accept that thus a miracle has happened.

the choir went on to sing

" I believe, you're my healer

I believe you are all i need

I believe you're my portion

I believe you're more than enough for me....

Jesus you're all i need"

I told my self that i believe. And i told the devil that i refuse to unbelieve.

Actually then and there another miracle happened. I STARTED TO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES.

Moral of the story: Never take God lightly. Do not challenge his ability. He is all powerful. just like he changed a rock hearted person like me, He could do that to you as well. light heartedly i can say---- dare to challenge God to be changed
