I recently saw a post on FB mocking Christian miracles.
I believe miracles happen, but some "Christians" make it into a superstition or a business. They DEMAND a healing from God. Magic is when one claims power over the world according to one's own will, not God's.
Why does God allow bad things to happen ? I don't know.
But when we pray we ASK not demand a miracle. Prayer is always submissive to God's will. That is not to say that one can not keep praying, but it is pleading and asking not demanding. Jesus even said to persevere in asking.
Luke 18:1 : "Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart"
Here is an example of a miracle below. A woman was healed from being blind here in Phoenix, about 5 years ago.
There are millions of miracles all over the world. But in the Catholic Church it needs to be documented to classified a miracle.
Meaning -- if it is an illness, the illness needs to be well documented by medical science, and it needs to be documented as an unexplainable healing, again by scientific investigation.
