Extra Question Details: 

If God has done as the above question for a fellow human. Should that person tell others about the experiences with the Lord or just keep quiet about it. Or people will think you should go talk to your doctor because things like that do not happen today only in the anciennt past.

What do you define as a miracle?

The first miracle that Jesus ever performed during His ministry on Earth was turning water, that has no flavor, into wine. Christ is still performing that same miracle today, changing sinners, with no Holy Spirit, to believers that have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

So, what do we need to see in order to claim that we've witnessed a miracle?

A man raised from the dead? A sick man healed? Blind to see? Now, what would that accomplish? Jesus performed plenty of miracles and in the end they all called out "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!"

Now, I'm not a disbeliever in miracles. God still performs wonders around the world when needed. I'm a big believer in that, but only when God sees fit. If you're sick, go see a doctor. God has given man enough wisdom to understand things that will benefit others.

If you want a building built, you see an engineer. Why? Why not wait for God to build a house for you? It's common sense isn't it? Then using the same concept, go to the doctor and take his/her advice as long as it doesn't oppose the Bible, such as abortion.

A story is told of a flood that was wiping out a town. A man insisted that God is going to save him. A car, beating the flood, drove by and offered him a ride. He insisted, "God will save me." The flood came and the waters began to rise. A family sailed by with their boat and offered him some help. He refused the help. "God will save me!" he said. He climbed up on the roof of his house as the waters lifted higher. A helicopter came to the rescue but still he rejected, "God will save me!" he repeated. The waters arose even higher and wiped him out. He stood before God and asked, "Why didn't you save me?" And the reply came, "I sent you a car, a boat and a helicopter. You refused all three."

Now, this is simply a story but it basically grabs the point I'm making. God does perform miracles but sometimes we're just too lazy when we ask for them. If there is no doctor in town, yes maybe God will miraculously help. Otherwise, God is helping by providing the aids. Why are we so magic-focused? We take God to be some Genie that should obey our word and satisfy our wishes as we want them. No. God's not like that. He works in His ways and, believe me, His ways are best.

Yes, GOD can make miracles happen and GOD will manifest HIMSELF in this era. I also have faith that GOD has already manifested HIMSELF in this era and that is a miracle. If a fellow human has experienced GOD's miraculous manifestation, I think that person should tell others about that experience because it is connectional/relational to more of a relationship with GOD because that person would be honoring HIM with/in presentation. As long as that person says it correctly, people shouldn't tell that person to keep quiet about it or to go talk to that person's doctor. Besides, GOD is a doctor.
