Miracles still happen today and are well-documented throughout church history. Praying for healing and miracles requires faith and obedience, and the outcome is ultimately up to God. Not all prayers for healing are answered, but there are reasons for this, including lack of faith, hidden issues, and God's priorities. The success of praying for miracles lies in obedience to God, regardless of the outcome.
