Needing Proof or Being Proof

As you study Scriptures, do you demand certainty and proof before believing something is true, or that it really happened, or are you open to learning that something is possible today and may have happened already, even though it doesn’t fit into what “scientists” declare to be “reality”? What process do you use to make a judgment about the validity of a miracle in the Scriptures, or about the possibility of a miracle in your life?

My speech and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit and power, so that your faith might not be based on men’s wisdom but on God’s power.
(1 Corinthians 2:4-5 HCSB ©®)

For who among men knows the concerns of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the concerns of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, in order to know what has been freely given to us by God. We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual things to spiritual people. But the natural man does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to know it since it is evaluated spiritually. The spiritual person, however, can evaluate everything, yet he himself cannot be evaluated by anyone. For:
who has known the Lord’s mind, that he may instruct Him?
But we have the mind of Christ.
