Did Miracles Cease with the Apostles?

They were performing miracles then and we are performing miracles today!

The Early fathers and bishops of the first centuries wrote about the continuation of the miracles manifesting among believers in the church. Still some famous preachers deny that we are still able to perform miracles. These miracles glorify God and His power.

"For numberless demoniacs throughout the world and in your city, many of our Christian men exorcizing them in the name of Jesus Christ, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, have healed, and do heal rendering helpless and driving out devils out of men, though they could not by all other exorcists and all those who used incantations and drugs."

-Justin Martyr 165AD-Apologetics II, Chapter 6

"Those who in truth His disciples, receiving grace from Him, do in His name perform miracles; and they do truly cast out devils. Others still heal the sick by laying their hands on them and they are made whole. Yea, moreover, as I have said, the dead have even been raised up, and remained among us for many years."

-Irenaeus 200 AD vs Hermetics, Book 1 Chapter 32

"And some give evidence of having received through their faith a marvelous power by the cures which they performed, invoking no other name over those who need their help than that of the God of all things, and of Jesus along with a mention of His history. For by theses means we too have seen many persons freed from grievous calamities and from other ills, which could be cured neither by men or devils."

- Origen 250 AD., Contra Celsum Book III, Chapter 24
