The first time I saw the Grand Canyon, I was shocked because I thought I had seen it before. But seeing it in person made me realize I had only seen photos of it before. Seeing firsthand, versus seeing it in pictures, is completely different.
Experiencing for yourself is so important. How do you know that miracles are real? You can know not by reading about them, but by experiencing them for yourself firsthand through prayer.
What are miracles for? Not just to heal, but so that we may know that "the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” (Matt. 9:6). When we pray and people are healed, then they will know that Jesus is the Son of God. And no matter the outcome, when we pray for people, then through our care they will come to know the love of Jesus Christ.
So, if you don`t know how real miracles are, it is because you haven`t really tried to pray for someone with love and care. You need to experience that firsthand yourself, then you will know how real miracles are.
We need to be a church that is full of prayer, miracles, and healing, so that people may know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God through our prayers.
