Comments on: Why So Few Miracles in the Western Culture? http://www.christianhealingtoday.com/2009/06/23/why-so-few-miracles-in-the-western-culture/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:35:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Steve Carroll http://www.christianhealingtoday.com/2009/06/23/why-so-few-miracles-in-the-western-culture/#comment-6573 Steve Carroll Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:35:10 +0000 http://www.christianhealingtoday.com/?p=658#comment-6573 Thank you for these postings. Here in the UK there is a current case where a healing ministry has been banned from advertising that God can heal on the basis that the claim cannot be substantiated. The ban was instigated by atheists. I was particularly upset by this course of action because I received a dramatic answer to prayer when members of this ministry prayed for me. I was wondering if anything like this has happened in the US and how you had dealt with it. God bless you. Thank you for these postings.

The Western culture...and philosophy is limited. It limits truth to anything that is seen, touched, heard, or anything related to the five senses. I have had a lot of miracles after preaching in places like India, where people still believed in the supernatural realm. As long as our education... or thinking, blinds our minds from spiritual realities, it would be difficult to experience the spiritual.

Does that mean that in healing, if that same person prayed for healing in a western nation, then flew to a third world nation, that his prayers in the third world nation some how become more efficacious? or is it just as a parent doesnt respond to each of their children the same, so our Heavenly Father doesnt respond to each of his children the same. Why because the needs are different, and God knows that in the western world, the health system is far more advanced, and so his children have learnt to have faith in this form of provision. Which may not appear so miraculous but is never the less just as efficacious. This also suggests that in the third world faith may be more developed in certain areas, where as faith in the western world may not have needed to develop to such maturity. What interests me though is deeper healings by, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever, to heal and restore Gods ideal, turning a heart of stone to a heart of flesh, in a person who has suffered so much, not necessarily physically, but deep emotional/pyschological and spiritual scarring, through this upside down world, of half truths, compromises, misdeeds and just plain sin. Whether that be child abuse, whether that be carried over abuse from that to broken relationships as an adult, the habits that become engrained, the root of bitterness/unforgiveness, and inability to truly love and be loved as a image bearer, why because of bondages created through brokeness and sin, so much. To see the world turn right side up, to see forgiveness, healing and true freedom released, from a life that has been scarred by sin, bondages, addictions and become whole again through Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross, wholly taken hold of, and a person set free to follow and grow in Jesus Christ as the true lifegiver, now that in any nation, culture and country, western, third world or where ever that is the true healing to the nations of the world, one person at a time, from the inside out, for the kingdom of God comes not with observation, they will not say, lo there or lo here, for behold the kingdom of God is with in you. Not down playing the healing of a body and this continueing question about the western world and else where, the question of salvation for all, and redeeming this upside down world, one soul at a time, continues to be the clarion call.

We in the west have the same faith as those of other countries and other times. The difference is our faith is increasingly in man not God. For a long time the West has been largely devoid of killer diseases. As a result we do not know death the way an African does - we don't have many relatives or friends who have died of Aids or Malaria or other childhood diseases. So as a consequence of putting so much faith in man there is little room for faith in God. (Which is why there will be a plague to afflict the West.)
