Indeed! "A man approved of God", says it all.
*By = "From", to my understanding __ unless you wish to split hairs.
Build on that understanding as a "Plumbline" to see yourself as He sees you. [us]
CR,
It is always God who does the miracle no matter who presents the petition to God or is the conduit
Look at what Paul says about it,
Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Same goes with Steven who the Bible said did the miracles because he was full of faith
Acts 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people
Stephen could no more work a miracle without the Holy Spirit of God in him than could Jesus whom the fulness of the Father lived within
Faith is not just how much you believe but how much of what you believe is the truth because Christ in us (the Spirit of God in us) consist only of truth. Consequently, because we are now moving from the 2000 year church age and into the age of perfection, perfection in our knowledge is being required of us. Therefore, what worked before in many churches whose doctrines were not the absolute truth of God no longer gets the job done today! Furthermore, until they repent of false doctrines and learn the truth they will not see another miracle before their foundational understanding of Christ in them is the truth of Heb. 6:1-2 KJV.
Case in point; A Pentecostal gathering I had recently returned to for the third and final time before recently leaving again was overseen by a Pastor who had witnessed miracles in the past. In the last few months he had developed a painful bone spur on his foot that was not responding to any of the prayers by Him and church for a length of time I would say to be at least two months.
During the last Sunday sermon of his that I witnessed he mentioned he was still counting on God healing him despite nothing happening as of yet. After he said this a Jamaican woman who has a heart for God but the same erroneous doctrines as her pastor speaks up and says "God is still going to heal you"
Her outburst of faith moved my heart at the same time I could hear in my spirit it would move God as well as long as it was petitioned for by someone worshiping in truth
So I prayed and asked God if He in His mercy and grace would accept this woman's faith along with my knowledge of the truth together as being done through two persons hand in hand and in agreement with the truth of God, would He please heal the Pastor's foot?
The miracle was granted immediately (according to the pastor) allowing me to repay a bad thing he done a week earlier to me, with a blessing from God being done for him but through me and the conviction of the Jamaican woman.
All it takes for a miracle is someone worshipping in truth because Him in us is totally dependent on how much we know of the truth. This is why the first century church did the miracles they did because the Apostles taught the truth and only the truth,
So I continue to say, when the church returns to worshipping in truth, miracles being done by God will pass through those persons worshipping in truth allowing them to heal the sick just as Jesus has commanded us to do.
Matthew 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
