Do you believe that the gifts the Disciples of Jesus had, are in existence today? Basically, do you believe in miraculous things being done through human beings. I believe those things are still very much real. The gifts of the Spirit. Prophecy, Laying on of Hands (Healing), etc. all still exist. His Word says, "Faith can move Mountains" but it is contingent upon your belief in the fact that by Faith, God can move that mountain. The problem is we lack the faith. We don't think that the God of today is the same as He was then. But He is. And so the same miracles performed then by the hands of His disciples could be performed today by the hands of his modern day disciples, but according to our faith. Just like it says in Job 2 "God deals with us according to the measure of our faith, our love, the measure of His Spirit within us." What is the measure of His spirit is us if we cannot believe He is able to do through us all things?! His will being done on earth as it is in Heaven is solely dependent on us accepting that it will be done. And again in Matthew 9 with the Blind men that cried out to Jesus to heal them....
" When He (Jesus) had gone indoors, the blind men came to Him, and He asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”.... “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then He touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; and their sight was restored." See, that's how God works, in us and through us. Their sight wasn't restored because they asked Jesus, but because they believed. It's all about Faith. That's why I think His Holy Spirit in us and strengthening That is so essential because as the measure of His Holy Spirit increases in us, so does our faith, and as our Faith increases so do the displays of His will being done on earth increase also.
