I know there were 'special miracles' in Acts, such as 'handkerchiefs' taken from the apostles' bodies and placed upon the sick and lame who were then healed. Also, an angel 'troubled the waters' at a pool and the first one in got healed. Also, the woman touched 'the hem of His garment'.
But I would be very cautious about intentionally seeking to recreate those or similar things...
Have you read Nee's 'The Spiritual Man'? I think I asked you once before but don't recall if you said you had or not.

I did read it a long time ago. It was a good read.
I must ask... Why should one be cautious about intentionally seeking to recreate those similar things? Is it out of "fear" of something? Fear isn't faith. And God hasn't given us a spirit of fear. The church can't move forward and do the "greater works" as promised if we fear stepping out and just doing them and letting the chips fall where they may.
