Why Do Miracles Not Happen Anymore?

A little boy once asked me,

“Why do miracles not happen anymore?”

This is something that I’ve heard many times.

People don’t believe in miracles because they don’t see them.

And yet God works wonders every day.

There is actually one I’d like to share with you in this Christian blog post.

There is a good woman at my church named Sarah (just for this article because I don’t know if she’d want me using her real name without her permission).

Sarah spends most of her time helping people.

In her profession, she nurses people back to health.

In her day-to-day, she volunteers.

She gives most of what she makes away.

And she does that with a smile on her face.

People see her and believe she was always like that.

What they don’t know is that Sarah grew up in the streets.

She was poor, and she was struggling with addiction.

Her friends and family had given up on her.

She felt alone, hopeless, and abandoned. 

But one fateful day, God stepped in and changed everything.

Sarah was wandering the streets, lost and desperate, when she stumbled upon a small church. 

She had no idea why she was drawn to it, but something within her compelled her to step inside. 

As she sat in the back, tears streaming down her face, she felt a gentle touch on her shoulder.

An elderly woman, with a warm smile and a gentle voice, asked Sarah if she was alright. 

Sarah, unable to hold back her emotions, shared her story of pain and despair. 

The woman listened intently, offering no judgment.

When Sarah finished, the woman asked if she could pray with her. 

Sarah, who had long since abandoned her faith, hesitated but ultimately agreed.

As they prayed together, something remarkable happened. 

Sarah felt an overwhelming sense of peace and love envelop her. 

Unlike anything she had ever experienced before. 

It was as if the weight of her struggles was being lifted from her shoulders. 

In that moment, Sarah knew, without a doubt, that God was with her.

From that day on, Sarah changed. 

She found the courage to face her addiction and began the journey toward recovery. 

She reconnected with her faith, attending church regularly, and forging a deep, personal relationship with God.

She even got a job as a nurse!

Over time, she began to share her story with others, offering hope and inspiration to those who were struggling.

That, my friends, is clear proof that miracles still happen.

Sarah’s story of redemption is a true testament to God’s love.

He supports us even when we don’t realize it.

Let us always remember that.

  1. Excellent post, CTN! God indeed works miracles today, changing lives. I’m happy for your church friend, who found God and now helps others. As Jesus Christ walked the dusty roads of Palestine long ago, so today, the Spirit of Christ searches for people in need, people who are downtrodden and ready for honest repentance and sets them on that “narrow way” which leads to kingdom of heaven.

  2. Besides these types of miracles, consider reading Dr. Craig Keener’s book, “Miracles Today.” As someone said, “Secondhand miracles make us all doubters.” But if the source is reliable we will find He still operates outside the laws of medicine and physics if He so chooses. We simply have to desire His world-view.😉

  3. This is very similar to my husband’s story, a beautiful testimony of God’s love and power to miraculously transform hearts. I couldn’t keep it to myself, but my husband is humble and didn’t want to draw attention to himself. He let me share it in a fictionalize story based on his remarkable true story. Thank you for sharing another of God’s thrilling miracles.
