It completely amazes me how anyone can look around in the world we live in, and see all the brutal murderers, rapists and just plain evil that prevails everyday. But when God does something that is miraculous for somebody, people actually has the nerve to question his power. Jesus died on the cross and arose after three days-THAT is miraculous power!! He is a living God and will still transmit that power to all people who believe! God bless!

i like your questions.
and i agree that all of this evil should not
only be questioned, but dealt with and destroyed.
you see, i, stone king and many others
are what you might call enemys of evil, not people, evil.
" The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds "
we do not kill murderers, we destroy anger.
anger is the enemy.
we do not hunt for rapists, we destroy lust.
lust is the enemy.
Trust me, this unseen warfare effects change all around you.
our enemy made a direct order for
"stone king's heart attack"
we do not live to die, we die to live.
Jesus is life.
life is the answer.

So what you are saying is that you do not understand the concept of causality?There is no evidence of a causal relationship between these to events and even if we presume a causal relationship exists, there is no evidence to determine whether the prayer is the cause of the recovery or the recovery is the cause of the prayer.
This thought process is very dangerous and leads to the realm of David Hume. He would say this:
Imagine a snow covered field. Now imagine that the sun comes out, and shines brightly on the field. Now imagine the snow melts. Did the sun cause the snow to melt? No! There is no proof that the sun caused the snow to melt.
Hume himself even realized his train of thought was mistaken, at one point saying, "I never asserted so absurd a proposition as that something could arise without a cause."

Science is finding conclusions that is shocking people in the realm of this area. Studies in the fields of psychaiatry and neurology have discovered a startling truth:
The brain maintains conciousness after death (I am not a neurologist, so I don't know enough to be more specific than whatI am saying, I am sorry). When scientists study the brain/mind, there is a type of activity that is the conciousness. It is not the same type of activity as the motor skills and the information processing areas, and the emotion areas, which are all electrical.... there is some sort of activity that is detected which is the conciousness. After death, when everything else in the body has stopped, this conciousness is still detecatable. Scientists have no idea how to explain it and say it should be impossible....

David Hume believes that there are no causal relationships in the natural world. This however, is not my position.
Beastro believes that because his headache dissipated after prayer that there is a causal relationship between prayer and the dissipation of headaches.
This belief however, is illogical as it commits one or more of the following logic fallacies: Post Hoc, Wrong Direction, and Complex Cause.
re:stoneking
Prayer goes hand in hand with FAITH. FAITH If you have a car, and you put the key in the ignition, you have faith that the car is going to start, otherwise, it would be foolish to put the key in the ignition, if you work, you have faith that you are going to receive a pay check. If you pray and have faith, nothing shall be impossible to them that believe. Key word: BELIEVE
God could open everyone's eyes as you say, to his kingdom, but when he gave EVERYONE their own free will to do and say as they please. You can choose to believe or disbelieve. God does not want a single person to perish, and he gives the opportunity to everyone that will. The fact that you do not believe does not change the fact that it did happen! That is your choice. But there is an all powerful God, that can do exceeding above all that we could ever ask or think, if we truly believe.
That was truly a wonderful miracle in Brother Stoneking's life, and no, God didn't have to heal him! But, he did, so Brother Stoneking could reach others. Why? Because God loves you so much that he would do everything in his power to try to reach you.
