The types of miracles we see is so basic and purely for convenience like a small prayer about work awnsered yet in other countries demons are being cast out, people being healed by the dozen, and other random miracles are happening. I often womder if god has left the western world or if we left him... If we step out for god and imerse ourselves with his word would we be seeing the miracles the spirit promises us work in our country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you need to hear of a miracle in ( insert place name ) ? Would it change your faith and if so why? May I surgest writing out your testimony saying how it is that you are a Christian. Can you explain why you are a Christian, or just what it was that made you a Christian? I think you will find that there is no earthly reason for you being a Christian. Only the intervention of God caused you to become a Christian. Want miracles, talk to people at church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the smallest amount of this kind of faith can move mountains. In the West, our culture conditions us to be suspicious of any experience outside of our senses (which is contrary to faith). That cultural conditioning, along with the fact that we are rarely in situations where we need to totally rely on God, makes miracle faith difficult and rarer. We hear of more (and more spectacular) miracles in cultures where people have grown up interacting with local spirits, and where daily life is a struggle for survival.

That is known as a leading question I think. Like: "Why do you think men, are smarter than women?" It presumes that it is a given that men are smarter! I do not buy the premise. I have no way of know that miracles do not happen in western countries, as far as I know, there are miracles in westerns countries, and that they are are even all that rare. At least, that is what I say with regard to the U.S.A. I do not have much info on other countries. I have see demon's cast out, or at least something that appeared to be that. Healings, yes, that also. I have not seen though, anyone rise from the dead. I know that there are quite a few faked miracles, deception, especially my certain TV celebrity preachers. I also admit, that I will be much more impressed, if I ever see a human limb grow back, but even Jesus did not do that that know of, perhaps my hope are too high. Anyway, my short response is, that there is now way to answer that question, because as far as I am concerned, miracles do occur in western countries.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a miracle in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we step out for god and imerse ourselves with his word would we be seeing the miracles the spirit promises us work in our country? Yes, we would. The west had faith, the faith produced prosperity, and the prosperity led to self-indulgence, self-justification, and laziness in body and spirit. Why else would so many Americans be overweight and obese? Many people in Africa and other impoverished nations, on the other hand, like the poor among the Jews during Christ's earthly ministry, have 'heard the Gospel gladly.'
