Introduction

God performs miracles everywhere - it's usually only the church crowd who accept these occurrences as divine intervention. Outside these sacred spaces, the general populace often attributes such phenomena to coincidence or science. This skepticism stems from a belief that if God exists, He should be overt in His interactions, yet He remains elusive.

The Question of Verification

The God of the Bible does not perform miracles anywhere. Instead, churches and their 'saints' claim these divine acts. However, these claims lack consistency and reliability. A genuine miracle, they reason, should be visible to the masses, perhaps in a children’s hospital curing a terminal illness. If not, is it too much to ask for divine compassion?

So, why is it that so many reported miracles occur within the confines of a church? Is it simply a matter of faith, or is there more to it?

A Personal Experience

I have never personally witnessed a miracle in a church, but I have seen and experienced one in daily life. A close family member was in a severe car accident, suffering from brain swelling so severe that doctors warned of an imminent need for surgery to relieve pressure. Our family, including ten members, formed a circle and prayed earnestly for divine healing through the power of Jesus Christ. While we waited outside for a brief coffee break, the doctor emerged, stating that the patient's vital signs were stabilizing and that he no longer needed surgery. The doctor admitted he could not explain the sudden positive turn in his condition, but attributed it to the 'power of prayer.'

Since this event, the individual has had no further health issues related to his brain. This personal experience underlines the power of faith and prayer in divine healing, showcasing how miracles can be a result of both spiritual and physical interventions.

The Visibility of Miracles

Miracles, in the secular world, often remain hidden under the guise of 'smoke and mirrors.' In churches, the environment facilitates a sense of sacredness and secrecy, making it easier for miracles to go unchallenged.

Defining Divine Healing

Some argue that God performs a pertinent miracle called 'Sacred Mystery' every time a Mass is celebrated. This concept suggests that the very act of worship and prayer is imbued with divine presence, turning these rituals into profound experiences of faith and healing.

So, why do more miracles seem to take place within the church? Could it be the combination of collective faith, the atmosphere of sacredness, and the power of prayer that enables these divine interventions to occur? The answer may lie in the belief and the communal experience of those within the church walls.
