i'm from south africa, and I find a huge difference in the way the different cultures encounter God. some cultures never see miracles (they never ask due to comfort maybe?). Other cultures exprerience amazing miracles. I've also met people who do missionaty work up in africa, who saw angels and demons. What do you think, why do somepeople see miracles and others not?
and please don't make any whisecracks about them...it really is true, i've seen God work miracles.

God works miracles, it is true. Sometimes it is hard for people to accept it or to notice it if they are not looking for it, simply because in most cases, they are closed off to the idea. Everyone wants to chalk everything up to coincidence.
I know that God works in our lives all the time. He's constantly looking out for us.
There is a song which told the true story of a little girl who grew up with atheist parents (I only mention they are atheist to show that she was raised never hearing about God or Jesus). Her parents fought all the time, and one night they killed each other. The little girl was hiding behind the couch when it happened. Social services came and took the girl, and she was adopted. Her new parents took her to church one Sunday, and her Sunday School teacher noticed her looking at a painting of Jesus. She asked the little girl if she knew who that was, and she answered, "Yes, that's the man who held me the night my parents died."
As for my personal experiences, I've had plenty. My life has been spared countless times. Whenever I came close to death, something always intervened.
When I was a small child, my dad always took us to the air shows where they do stunts with the planes. One time, when I was 3 or 4, we were living in Germany. We were getting ready to go to one of the shows, when at the last second my dad got a strange feeling and decided not to go. The next day we were watching the news when they showed news from the air show we were supposed to go to. Two of the planes were supposed to fly toward each other, and one was supposed to go over the other. They accidentally hit each other and exploded. The fuel fell down on the audience, killing most of them.
Then a couple of years ago, I was at work, getting ready to leave. I always walked home. I grabbed my stuff and started to head out the door when I got the sudden urge to write a letter to my friend. Then I told myself I'd do it later. But I got an even stronger feeling telling me to do it now. I figured it was my gut feeling telling me I'd forget if I waited (because I always do). So I went back to the break room and started writing. It took me about 5 minutes to write it. Then I gathered my belongings and went back up front to leave. I noticed a lot of commotion. I asked everyone what happened. Apparently, someone ran a light and slammed into another car, both cars spun back, one of them right where I normally walk to go home. I asked one of my friends when it happened. They said, "about 5 minutes ago".
That's just a couple of times, though.
As for seeing angels and demons, that is called seeing beyond the veil. I'm not sure why some people can see beyond the veil. I've been looking into that myself. I will let you know, though, whatever I find out.
God definitely works miracles every day. He's healed people for whom even the very best of doctors did not see any hope.
God is always there with us. I'm glad you see that.
I hope this helps.
God bless!

My Ankle was Instantly Healed by GOD and GOD has done a Bunch of Things to Help me personally.
People who live in Isolated Areas sometimes know more about Spiritual Things than People who have their Minds Bombarded by Normal Ordinary Living Things.
