I believe in God, and I believe in Jesus. I believe Jesus did miracles and everything else that the New Testament says happened. But why is it that today when we hear of someone who has the power of healing in God's name, or God sends someone frequent visions, or someone can speak in tongues, why are we skeptical? If we really believe in the Trinity wholly and completely, then we believe in the miracles that Jesus did, and we believe that there still are miracles today. So what does it mean when we are skeptical about miraculous things in today's world? Does that mean we do *not* believe wholly and completely?
Perhaps I am alone in being skeptical upon hearing of miracles. But when I hear people speaking in tongues, I think that they might be making it up. Or if people have the power of healing, I just assume that it's all staged and they can't really heal anything. If I hear of someone speaking to God (and He answers) I slightly doubt that it's true. I'm just not so open to believing the miraculous things of God, as I should be. And why should it be so amazing to hear that God is doing these things? He is God! He made everyone, and everything on the earth. Why should it be so surprising and doubtful to hear of miracles still going on today? It's not that I doubt he can do it, I just doubt that it happens - if that makes sense.
But, with my views on it being as such, this is probably why He *doesn't* choose me to produce miracles. I have a doubtful heart, and He knows it. Sometimes I wonder what my place is in His kingdom. What place could He possibly have for someone who doubts the miracles of His chosen people?
