Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 4-17-24 – Satanic Influence & Christian Cessationist Ignorance

There is a large swath of the church that believes in Cessationism. As GotQuestions.org tells us:

Cessationism is the view that the “miracle gifts” of tongues and healing have ceased—that the end of the apostolic age brought about a cessation of the miracles associated with that age. Most cessationists believe that, while God can and still does perform miracles today, the Holy Spirit no longer uses individuals to perform miraculous signs.

The questions I have regarding this belief are: Does this view hold water? Why would so many in the church think this is true? What are the implications in the world if Cessationism has indeed caused miracle gifts to no longer operate?

Miracles in Islam vs NAR

God works miracles.  Why?  What are they?  What are they for?  Can we demand or declare them?  Is there any difference in how a large number of western churchgoers approach miracles versus those in Islamic nations?
