RE: August 6th Daily Prayer Request Thread - Have Need Of Any Kind? The miraculous is the normal for those who ask..
No, the miraculous is NOT the normal for those who ask. Otherwise my wife wouldn't have had two stillborn babies. And she wouldn't have died of complications from kidney disease when she was 30 years old.
God can do miracles but they aren't common place. Except in places where missionaries are bringing the gospel for the first time. Those miracles authenticate the message.
Posts like this just give false hope to people in need of a miracle. And they ultimately can crush their weak faith when those miracles don't happen.
Just because God did not save them does not mean miracles do not happen. Sometimes we are so blind we can not see them. I will pray that you do see them.
What does the bible teach you about miracles and answered prayers?
Please, give bible references chapter and verse. Shalom

How about raising someone from the dead? I'd really like to see my late first wife again. Her name is Sandy Sundling. She died on November 13, 1992 in Neenah, Wisconsin, USA.
OK. The New Testament talks about people being raised from the dead. Go for it.
(Matthew 10:7-8 NIV) As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' {8} Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
(Mark 5:35-42 NIV) While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. "Your daughter is dead," they said. "Why bother the teacher any more?" {36} Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; just believe." {37} He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James. {38} When they came to the home of the synagogue ruler, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly. {39} He went in and said to them, "Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep." {40} But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. {41} He took her by the hand and said to her, "Talitha koum!" (which means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!"). {42} Immediately the girl stood up and walked around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
(Luke 7:11-15 NIV) Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went along with him. {12} As he approached the town gate, a dead person was being carried out--the only son of his mother, and she was a widow. And a large crowd from the town was with her. {13} When the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her and he said, "Don't cry." {14} Then he went up and touched the coffin, and those carrying it stood still. He said, "Young man, I say to you, get up!" {15} The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
(Acts 9:36-40 NIV) In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which, when translated, is Dorcas ), who was always doing good and helping the poor. {37} About that time she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upstairs room. {38} Lydda was near Joppa; so when the disciples heard that Peter was in Lydda, they sent two men to him and urged him, "Please come at once!" {39} Peter went with them, and when he arrived he was taken upstairs to the room. All the widows stood around him, crying and showing him the robes and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them. {40} Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
