Perhaps many of the 'power miracles' in the New Testament were performed by apostles. You've mentioned the Apostle Peter's shadow and the bible says that all who came to Peter were healed. Also in Acts Paul healed all the sick on Malta. When someone has that authority that only Jesus can give there is no ambiguity or spin required.
IMHO the big issue today in these last days is that the church is riddled with people who are claiming to be apostles, prophets and other things they are not and need to promote themselves with obfuscation and the denial of those that follow them.
Yesterday I was hearing of a guy I used to know in AOG called Terry. He sent a fortune to Benny Hinn and other 'healing' ministries over decades and psyched himself into a state trying to get healing for his wheelchair bound wife. He's got a whole houseful of trinkets he ordered from various 'Christian' ministries, many are cheap looking things not good value by any stretch, including a 'shofar' from Benny Hinn.
His wife died without healing and now he's become a recluse, unable to cope with it. She must have gone out for healing to 100 healing evangelists over the years and received many 'words of knowledge' that didn't pan out. Please pray for Terry, I don't know if there is an answer this side of eternity. As the bible says, hope deferred makes the heart sick.
The words of Habakkuk also speak to rejoicing in the Lord during adverse and confusing times.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior (Habakkuk 3).
God Bless
