So-called “modern-day healers” should be embarrassed. While many of them claim to be exercising “power given to them by God,” their feeble efforts are anything but of divine origin. Consider the following statements regarding the effective working of the miracles of Jesus:
From the book of Mark only: “immediately the fever left her” (1:31); “immediately the leprosy left him” (1:42); “Immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went out” (2:12); “Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up” (5:29); “Immediately the girl arose and walked” (5:42); “Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed” (7:35); “immediately he received his sight” (10:52).
Does this resemble in any way what is happening today? No! The miracles of God were instantaneously 100% effective 100% of the time. But, the miracles of God have ceased (1 Cor. 13:8-13; Heb. 2:3-4). The attempts by man at the miraculous are woefully powerless!
