God often do the unbelievable because of His loyal ones but most people do feel He (God) should always do the same whenever the situation arises. So let's talk about Miracles and why is it that God only choose to do it when He feels like? Do real miracles happen today? If so why has God select those that will witness it and not just everyone? "A wicked and adulterous generation keeps seeking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Joʹnah". With that he went away, leaving them behind. Matthew 16:4 Only Jonah witnessed a Miracle his audience never saw any sign yet they believed him. Why did they believe Jonah who never perform any sign in their presence? 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse: Actually, God wants to blow our minds with miracles but before the miracles comes preparation and examination. And since people already do not listen nor obey God, therefore, scarcely would He do it. Even Isreal His chosen and first born on the earth, also did not listen nor obey. Therefore miracles only falls on a the scanty few who truly follow God. Eg I just got one 2 days back. (I usually have miracles) which is fire started in one of my properties but it was only confined to one room, a memory room those old China ware bowls that are 40 years old, tumblers, basins and things we used for hosting parties in the 70s and 80s when cooking and all was done in the house. No one was around but the street and estate people came to fight it. And the fire was huge.. but it was confined to one room only. This same thing which burnt down a whole supermarket that made the news. (Same area and Nepa) But in my case it was confined to one room only to the amazement of the people gathered and they had substantially put it down before the fire fighters arrived. If it had not been The Lord... And here come the evils with their anger and jealousy |

MaxInDHouse:It is because God is Sovereign. God does whatever He wants to do at His own time or will. However, there are people whom God has given the ability to wrought miracles. |

Dtruthspeaker: Not True. God makes the rain fall on both the wicked and the good. He makes the sun shine on both the wicked and the good. If you think about that deeply, That's a miracle ![]() Therefore miracles only falls on a the scanty few who truly follow God. Again, Not true. God can perform a miracle on a pagan, sinner or unbeliever in order to change that persons mindset or as a result of someone's prayer for that person. Read your bible very well and stop speaking like you understand the mind of God. His ways are higher than yours you know. I just got one 2 days back. (I usually have miracles) which is fire started in one of my properties but it was only confined to one room, a memory room those old China ware bowls that are 40 years old, tumblers, basins and things we used for hosting parties in the 70s and 80s when cooking and all was done in the house. No one was around but the street and estate people came to fight it. And the fire was huge.. but it was confined to one room only. Wow... Lucky you. But of course, whether good or bad, we must give God the glory, yes? This same thing which burnt down a whole supermarket that made the news. (Same area and Nepa) But in my case it was confined to one room only to the amazement of the people gathered and they had substantially put it down before the fire fighters arrived. That it burnt down the supermarket doesn't mean God hates or dislikes the owner of the supermarket. Remember that time and unforeseen occurrence befalls us all. There is a time to cry and a time to rejoice. That's just life. |

DoWhatThouWilt: God is very very good so Goodness is plenty and Goodness is The Law. However, miracles is a different level of goodness which is only received by those who have obtained it. DoWhatThouWilt: I have a novel opinion here. To say the Truth it is impossible to thank God when things are bad. But only a person who is with God will be still through it all, for he knows many things people do not know hence it is he who will say thank God. Evil pursues the wicked but when evil pursues the righteous, a miracle is coming. DoWhatThouWilt: Evil pursues the wicked but when evil pursues the righteous, a miracle is coming. 1 Like |

Miracles still happens today but God never gave any human the power to perform miracles after the death of first century Jewish disciples of Christ Jesus. Today the true God does what is necessary for the sake of His servants declaring the good news of His Kingdom. 1 Like |

Due to their eagerness to see signs {Matthew 16:4} most people are running from one religion to another but the true God performs miracles everyday supporting His worshipers in this time of the end so they can complete their assignment in gathering deserving ones.

Truvelisback: Naaaaaaaaaaaaa! That's not the point, they're scammers because during COVID-19 they all disappeared only to resurface after the terrible lockdown. They could have proved their worth by telling the government not to enforce any lockdown and walk straight to the quarantine centers and MIRACULOUSLY heal all COVID-19 patients.

jaephoenix: The WORKS Jesus was sent to do isn't Miracles but preaching zealously: “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his WORK" John 4:34 The WORK Jesus commissioned is preaching and teaching campaign throughout the earth {Act 1:8} @Jesus only preached within only Israel but JWs have preached throughout the earth! @Jesus only preached in Hebrew language JWs have preached in more than 1,000 languages! @Jesus was able to gather just 500 disciples preaching and teaching actively but JWs have gathered well over 8 millions preachers! @Jesus only had free homes to sleep within Israel but i can travel to more than 240 countries and homes are waiting for me due to the WORKS of JWs! YES! We have done GREATER WORKS than what Jesus did in his time but all thanks to our God Jehovah who sent Jesus to teach us how to accomplish this huge task! ![]() 1 Like |

MaxInDHouse:Stop trying to be smart. If his works include preaching the word and performing miracles, that means his people should do much more than that. That's what he means by that verse. Now whatever is happening today? Fake miracles that only happen on tv and social media.No verifications. Only happens in secrecy. None happens in the hospitals where the actual sick people are found. |
