Do You Believe in Miracles?

I remember sometime, a couple of years ago, me and a friend was discussing a world's well known priest-healer who came to Indonesia. I said to my friend;

"Those people who expect to be healed miracleously are just lazy Christians. The bible is enough to tell them about Christ, why should they expect to see miracles to believe Him?"

Those words came out because i've been taught from my previous spiritual leaders that "the days of miracles are over when the last apostle died." I believe that sentence and hold on it without ever checking whether the scripture did prophesy about it or not.

Times went by. Between that time to this moment, i experienced so many things and situations so hard in my life that i was helpless and broken. My brother got sick, then I lost my baby. I cried, i prayed, i almost lost my faith. I couldn't really asked for a miracle because i remember, "It is not those days anymore".

At the bottom of my hopelesness, i bounced back. I decided to believe what the scripture says about my Jesus, despite what my leaders once told me. I opened the gospel and new testaments to searched for Him, and I found out that He is my Saviour -that i knew-, and He also my Healer. He healed people when He was in this world, and He still heals people now, because Jesus never changed. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is the Man that turned water into wine, and He is still doing miracles even right now.

If i believe every single word in the Bible then i should let miracles happen in my real life right now. Not just for healing, but for every areas in my life Jesus should reigns. When Jesus reigns there, miracles happens. That's what the gospel told me. That's why gospel means good news.

Halelujah for good news!

Right now if anyone asks me, "Do you believe in miracles?"
I'd say,"YES i do"
