There are probably three reasons for this:
1) lack of faith---they believe that it was only for Jesus and the appostles.
2) lack of the Holy Spirit--- they are still practicing sin in their lives
3) those who try do it for their own glory and not the glory of God.

Actually, we were told we would be able to do even greater things. However, I believe we have fallen waaaaaaay short in the faith department.
Plus, a lot of us understand zilch about dealing with demonic forces or spiritual warfare.
Bottom line, we stink.
Have a great day!

I have been a part of intense demonic exorcisms, but in my experience most can be dealt with by simply learning to walk in purity. It does not always have to be a dramatic event to overcome something as extreme as demonic influence.

of about 100 per day.

Jesus' command was given to the disciples there at the time.
There's little to no reason for any of us to take any of the words in the Bible personally until we go through the same stages of belief as they did. This command represents the last lesson Jesus had for them, and few of us have reached that point.

Good question... I think most churches are a bit leery of doing things that could be construed as odd in today's society. Some don't even believe that spiritual gifts have a part in today's churches.

i have cast out many evil spirits in the past it's not the casting out of demons or evil spirits that is inportent but the winning of souls for the kingdom of heaven

These days you can't really tell if someone is possessed by a demon or if their just having a seizure.

many have lost the power of God when they refused to accept the baptism of the holy spirit....which was conferred upon the apostles for ministry and power.

It takes more faith than this generation has to work miracles.
Yep. Smaller than a mustard seed.
