Yelling from the Rooftops

Psalms 102:12 says, “But you, Lord, are enthroned forever; your fame endures to all generations.” To this very day, people are still talking about how God parted the Red Sea and saved the Israelites from the Egyptians. Simply put, God is still famous because of the miracles He performed thousands of years ago. Why is that? Psalms 145:4 says, “One generation will declare Your works to the next and will proclaim your mighty acts.” Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide [the miracles of God] from our children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, His might, and the wondrous works He has performed.” After watching the miracle of three men getting delivered from being executed inside a fiery furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar proclaimed, “How great are His miracles, and how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation” (Daniel 4:2–3).

It is obvious that the supernatural deeply impacted the lives of people in the Bible. Consequently, the supernatural testimonies in the Bible have been proclaimed and celebrated for thousands of years by millions of people! I know you might be thinking, “Well, yeah, but they believed in all kinds of weird stuff back then. Now we have science. I’m not so sure that those types of things are happening now; and if they are, I would imagine that science could provide a naturalistic explanation for these types of phenomena.”

In the Western world, the supernatural is often viewed as ignorant, archaic, and unscientific. It begs the question: is a person uneducated if they believe in the supernatural? Jacalyn Duffin, a doctor and medical historian, states, “Miracles are not holdovers of magical superstition from an early age.” Skeptics try to make people feel stupid and uneducated for believing in the miraculous, when in reality the opposite is true. Science is in favor of the miraculous; data is in favor of the miraculous.

According to a study done on confirmed miracles, physician testimony of the miraculous increased from 20% in the 16th century to 70% in the 20th century. A 2004 Business Wire Survey reported that 66% of doctors in the U.S. believe in miracles. In other words, the supernatural has gained more traction from physicians with the passing of time—not less. Another Pew survey from 2007 shows that more than 33% of Americans claim to have witnessed or experienced what they believe to be divine healing. A 2015 Barna Survey confirmed this by revealing that over 94 million Americans report having experienced a miracle personally. Another report revealed that over 80% of recent Christian converts in Napal converted because they experienced something miraculous. A 2006 Pew Forum survey of just ten countries on four continents suggests that about two hundred million Christians in those countries alone claim to have witnessed divine healing. 200,000,000 WITNESSES!

Testimonies of the supernatural flood social media, research polls, the news, and coffee shop conversations. Testimonies of supernatural visions, supernatural dreams, miraculous healings, miraculous interventions, and miraculous deliverances from addictions of all types occupy shows, documentaries, and even academia. Yet, for many, skepticism prevails. It seems that faith is easy to come by for some and not for others. Some require a personal experience with the supernatural before they will believe. Some believe just from following the evidence about the supernatural—never requiring a personal experience. Some choose never to believe regardless of the evidence.

Why do you think people remain skeptical, even in the face of overwhelming data?
