Why do miracles seem so rare? In Part 2 of this powerful series, we uncover the real reasons miracles seem to have disappeared — and it's not because God stopped performing them. The God of miracles hasn't changed. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We explore the five major hindrances blocking believers from experiencing the miraculous. From Mark 6:5 to Psalm 78, Scripture reveals that God's power is consistent — but human response is not. If you've been wondering why we don't see miracles in abundance today, or in your life or your church, this Bible study will challenge everything you've been taught. Miracles are not rare because of God's absence — they are rare because of how we engage with Him. 📖 Scriptures Referenced: • Mark 6:5 — Jesus limited by unbelief • Psalm 78 — Israel limited the Holy One • Romans 10:17 — Faith comes by hearing • Galatians 5:6 — Faith works by love • Hosea 4:6 — Destroyed for lack of knowledge • 2 Corinthians 5:17 — New creation in Christ • Hebrews 13:8 — Jesus the same forever 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Christian teaching on faith, spiritual growth, and biblical truth. 👉 Watch Part 1: Does God Still Do Miracles? — https://youtu.be/SakRWbEuNTY __________________________________ 📖 CHAPTERS: 00:00 — Why Miracles Feel Rare in Modern Christianity? 00:41 — Does God Still Perform Miracles Today? 01:18 — Why Some Christians Never See Miracles 02:43 — Are Miracles Actually Rare — Or Just Underreported? 06:50 — How to Experience God’s Power in Your Life 07:45 — Does Unbelief Stop Miracles? 10:01 — Did Church Tradition Kill the Supernatural? 10:40 — Do Christians Know Their Authority in Christ? 11:16 — Does Unforgiveness Block Your Prayers? 11:44 — Why Preaching and Miracles Often Go Together 12:16 — How to Position Yourself to See God Move ________________ 🛒 My research tools and sources (affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/kristadams * As an Amazon Associate, I may earn from qualifying purchases.

God Hasn't Changed — But Here's Why Miracles Stopped
Does God still do miracles today? Many Christians have been told that the age of miracles ended with the Apostles — but is that what history actually shows? In this video, we trace the evidence of miracles from the early church all the way to the modern era, and what we find might surprise you. From Justin Martyr in the 2nd century to Theodore of Mopsuestia, Gregory the Great, the Waldensians, Jan Hus, and even Martin Luther — every generation of believers has documented healings, deliverance, prophetic encounters, and supernatural intervention. These weren't fringe claims — they were written by some of the most respected voices in church history. And it's still happening. From documented medical miracles to dreams and visions in the persecuted church, to divine provision at impossible moments — God has not stopped working. We break down what Scripture really teaches about God's unchanging nature and what the Bible actually says. 🔔 Subscribe for deep-rooted Christian commentary that goes beyond the surface: Liked that?

Miracles Didn't End With The Apostles | What The Evidence Actually Says
In 70 A.D., the Roman legions destroyed the Second Temple in Jerusalem, sending a shockwave through the ancient world that is still felt today. For over a thousand years, "Biblical Judaism" was defined by the altar, the priesthood, and the blood sacrifice. But when the Temple burned, that system vanished. How did Judaism survive without a Temple? And more importantly, how did the Jewish leaders at Yavneh reinvent their faith to exist without atonement by blood? In this video, we explores the massive historical shift from the Judaism of the Old Testament to the "Rabbinic Judaism" of the modern era. We look at the story of Yohanan ben Zakkai and the Council of Yavneh that fundamentally rewrote the rules of the faith. We’ll examine how the Rabbis replaced the Levitical priesthood with the Sage, the Temple with the Synagogue, and the sacrifice with prayer—creating a religion that looks drastically different from what Moses commanded in the Torah. If you’ve ever wondered why modern Jewish practice doesn't look like the Old Testament, or why the "Oral Torah" (Mishnah and Talmud) became supreme, this dive into history and theology is for you. We also discuss the Christian perspective: while Rabbinic Judaism sought to replace the Temple with good works and prayer, the New Testament argues that the true replacement for the Temple had already arrived.

Modern Rabbinic Judaism Is Not The Same As Old Testament Judaism | Here’s Why
Why did Jesus wait until Lazarus had been dead for four days before arriving in Bethany? In John 11, we see Jesus intentionally delay His arrival, allowing Lazarus to die and be buried. To modern readers, this seems like a cruel delay, but when we look at the ancient Jewish context, we discover a profound theological reason behind the timing. In this Bible study, we uncover the specific Jewish belief about the soul and death that was prevalent in the first century. By waiting exactly four days, Jesus wasn't just performing a miracle; He was dismantling a cultural superstition and proving His absolute authority over death in a way that no one could deny. We will dive deep into: • The significance of the "fourth day" in ancient Jewish tradition. • Why the first three days were viewed differently than the fourth. • How this specific miracle set the stage for Jesus' own death and resurrection. If you want to understand the Bible in its original context and see the truth of Scripture come alive, this study is for you.

The Jewish Reason Jesus Waited 4 Days To Raise Lazarus
👉 If God is truly sovereign over everything, why did He allow that painful thing to happen in your life? This question haunts believers—and the biblical answer is more profound than you think. But does the Bible actually teach that God micromanages every event on earth? In this video, we explore the controversial truth about God's sovereignty versus human free will. If God controls everything, then He is the author of evil, suffering, and sin—but Scripture tells a different story. We’ll dive into Genesis, the authority of the believer, and why bad things happen if God is good. Discover why prayer matters, how legal authority on earth works, and what it truly means to trust God without blaming Him for the works of the enemy. If you’ve ever asked "Why did God allow this?" or struggled with the problem of evil, this video will bring clarity to your faith walk. In this video, we explore: - Why God allows suffering if He's in control - The difference between God's sovereignty and fatalism - How to trust God without blaming Him for evil - What the Bible actually teaches about free will and God's plan Liked that?

If God Controls Everything, Why Did He Let This Happen to You?
👉 In the third century, a Christian scholar named Origen undertook one of the most ambitious projects in the history of Scripture: placing multiple versions of the Old Testament side by side in a single massive codex. This ancient “sixfold” Bible—known as the Hexapla—didn’t just preserve text. It preserved a controversy. For centuries, Jews and Christians argued over key messianic prophecies: Did the original Hebrew really point to Jesus, or did Christians twist the text? Origen’s project brought Hebrew and Greek together on the same page and quietly recorded where those readings agreed… and where they suddenly didn’t. In this episode, we explore what this forgotten Bible was, why it was revolutionary, and how it became a window into a 2,000‑year debate about the identity of the Messiah. We’ll look at how early translators handled some of the most disputed passages and why later versions seemed so eager to read them differently—all without asking you to take anyone’s word for it.

Christians Twisted the Messianic Prophecies? Here's What the Original Hebrew Actually Says
When did sin become a mental health issue? Modern culture has reframed biblical concepts like sin, repentance, and holiness as psychological problems requiring therapy rather than spiritual transformation. This video explores what Scripture actually teaches about emotions, boundaries, correction, and Christian formation—and why confusing sin with mental health is keeping believers spiritually stuck. In this video, we explore: • How modern "therapy language" has replaced biblical terminology • Why boundaries culture conflicts with biblical discipleship • What Scripture says about correction, conviction, and spiritual growth • The difference between legitimate mental health needs and spiritual issues • How to reclaim biblical language for holiness and sanctification • Why Christians feel triggered by simple biblical correction If you've ever wondered why correction feels like harm, why sincere believers seem emotionally fragile, or why mental health terms have replaced discussions of sin and repentance, this teaching will help you understand the cultural shift—and what the Bible really says about our emotions, growth, and spiritual formation.

When Did Sin Become a Mental Health Issue? What the Bible Actually Says
For centuries, Christians were known for being unbreakable—martyrs who sang hymns while being burned alive, missionaries who endured persecution with joy, ordinary believers who stood firm under pressure. What did they have that modern Christians have lost? In this deep dive, we explore the ancient spiritual practice that built supernatural resilience—and reveal why modern culture systematically destroyed it. From psychology and neuroscience to cultural history and Scripture, we'll uncover what actually changed in how we raise and form people, and why younger generations (and many older believers) now struggle with anxiety, offense, and being "triggered." In this video, you'll discover: • The ancient Christian practice that created unshakable faith • Why modern parenting produces emotional fragility instead of resilience • The neuroscience behind why constant stimulation weakens us • What early Christians understood about suffering that we've forgotten • How to rebuild spiritual and emotional strength in a fragile generation • The biblical path from anxiety to supernatural peace • Why discipline, not comfort, creates true resilience If you're a parent wanting to raise stronger kids, a Christian who feels emotionally unstable, or someone seeking to understand why modern culture produces such fragile people, this biblical and historical analysis will transform how you think about strength, suffering, and spiritual formation.

The Ancient Practice That Made Christians Unbreakable (And Why We Abandoned It)
Why does God allow suffering? If He's all-powerful and loves us, why do bad things happen to good people—even faithful Christians who pray, serve, and obey? This is the most haunting question in all of theology, and in this in-depth biblical teaching, you'll get the answer most people never hear. We'll explore what Jesus actually taught about suffering, why the assumption that "bad things only happen to bad people" is scripturally incorrect, and what Scripture reveals about pain, sin, judgment, and the human condition. This isn't about simple platitudes—it's about the hard truth that changes how you understand God, suffering, and your own life. In this video, you'll discover: • Why Jesus said suffering comes to both righteous and unrighteous • The difference between consequence, discipline, and random tragedy • What the Bible says about God's justice vs God's mercy • Why "bad things happen to bad people" theology is unbiblical • How to trust God when life doesn't make sense • The real purpose of suffering in the Christian life • What Job, Jesus, and Paul teach about why believers suffer • How to respond when tragedy strikes faithful people If you've ever wrestled with why God allows pain, why faithful people suffer while wicked people prosper, or how to reconcile God's goodness with the reality of evil and tragedy, this teaching will give you biblical clarity and theological depth.
