Thanks. Good verses on believing the works that Jesus did.
YOu said, "Granted there are some that Jesus did not heal and there were special reasons for that. But those were the EXCEPTIONS.
You can't assume that just because God doesn't do miracles in every case that he won't do one for you."
CAn we assume that God wants to heal us all? I mean physically heal? We won't come into full salvation until we get to heaven, so why do we think that God must heal us now? Every person that Jesus healed eventually died, and every person who gets healed miraculously today will also die. The point is, as you said, we can't assume he WON'T heal, but neither can we assume that He WILL heal.

You said, "I have gotten things from God that I discovered later on that weren't even God's will. He did it just because he was pleased with my faith and I acted on that faith. "
Isn't this faith in faith? I mean, we're supposed to trust God for what He said, not trust that He will only care for us provided we have enough faith. Plenty of new age people get things 'because they beleive' and they attribute it to the power of their mind or their faith, although it is certainly not faith in God.
IT seems to me that we can trust that GOd will do whatever is best for us (including miracles)because He is God, because of Who He is, not because we have 'enough faith'
WDYT?
