Why Are Churches Not Emphasizing Miracles Like Before? by geoworldedu(op): 8:37am On Mar 05, 2023
I have been observing this particular thing recently. Unlike during the pre corona virus periods, you don't see miracle videos and other related stuffs that much on social media. Also hell fire preaching has reduced drastically. Is it that churches have already moved on to other strategies to get members or miracles have ended with corona virus?

Because "Miracles" shouldn't be emphasized as it was before.

How many churches do you attend and have attended?

Real question is: can magic be miracle?

Romans 15: 19 by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”


You gospel is nothing if it cannot be backed by miracles else you are nothing but talkatives just talking rubbish. It is miracles that prove you have something special others dont.

Because they're tired of lying.
Re: Why Are Churches Not Emphasizing Miracles Like Before? by 40Bullets: 10:01am On Mar 05, 2023
Lol...I am not a novice.
The emphasis is not Miracles.
Miracles/signs and wonders are just proofs to backup what you preach.

The emphasis is "Christ and Him crucified".

Many will come on that day claiming Miracles etc but He, Jesus, would deny ever knowing them.

So, Miracles is not the core thing

“The works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me” (John 10:25)

No miracles, then you are just a talkative. Anyone can claim nonsense but who can backup their claims with works?
Re: Why Are Churches Not Emphasizing Miracles Like Before? by 40Bullets: 10:18am On Mar 05, 2023
Lol...you are missing the point.
Miracles still happen but shouldn't be the emphasis.
I hope I'm not confusing you.

Miracles is essentially for unbelievers to believe NOT believers.

the shift in emphasis is because miracles are lies. They dont happen. Passtors are avoiding the embarrassment so they have turned to motivational speakers

something like that. Rather they are tired of the embarrassment.
Re: Why Are Churches Not Emphasizing Miracles Like Before? by 40Bullets: 10:50am On Mar 05, 2023
No, Miracles still happen and are not lies.

Miracles is the least of my worries.
What many call Miracles are not Miracles but magic.
If Miracles is all that matters, many "motivational speakers" could easily go for occultic powers and witchdoctors don suits and learn little Bible.

miracles are real but baba adeboye's son died he could not raise him. All the fulani bandits killings, not once has any of the victims been resurrected and the ones that are amputated, their amputated parts never grow back. You hear that people are raised from the dead, but people that are beheaded cannot be raised from the dead. Miracles are always nonsense silly petty miracles. Keep fooling yourself.
