It seems to me that if we are all children of G-d and Jesus came as a the Son of G-d then I should be able to perform all of his miracles...

Yes, except for the atonement of course, he was the only one sinless sacrifice that could do that for man.
Acts of the apostles 4
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it
Acts 8
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Mark 9
38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.
39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
40 For he that is not against us is on our part.

Yeah, every one of Jesus' miracles did not come directly from Him, but rather through prayer to his Father. Should you develop a closer relationship with God, through the Christ, miracles will happen for you as well, just like the rest of us who have.

you start with a falacy but at the same time, you are on the right track
first we are not all children of God, on those in christ.
secondly, Jesus said, my followers will do greater works than I
the only way you will do this and your life is not a farse is to walk in the spirit

Only if you KNOW the Father as Jesus knew the Father and allow Christ to live in you as Jesus let Christ live within him. Christ is the "Word" of God and is the revelation through Love of God within each of us.
He did say we could do all he did and more.
He doesn't lie.
EDIT: The reaction from the "Christians" tells me they didn't understand a word Jesus said. We are Children of God and we define reality.

Yes only if Jesus lives in your heart but most Christains don't have enough faith to believe that the same power Jesus has we have been giving also through Jesus...

jesus wasnt the son of god he was only a prophet and messenger of God. as we cannot associae anything with God as he is higher and greater than a human need such as having children . we are his slaves and nothing more. God doesnt need us we need him. so since jesus was a human maybe you could be as powerful physically. but God blessed him by allowing him to do miracles in Gods name. if it werent for God giving him this permission he would be like any normal human.

You are the s/o god and your mother w/o god and your brother and sister ? what kind of logic ? You call him as lord, also call a Judge as lord, your kings all of them are lords what difference does it make ?
All the miracles of Jesus went useless. He was crucified for his preachings about god. You should have more convincing power than Jesus. Do you have it ?

Actually, after an arduous series of incarnations in which you learned the appropriate lessons in search of enlightenment, then yes, you would be able to. I'm guessing you're not there yet though.

"Am I as powerful as Jesus?"
Oh, many times more powerful than the man who came to be called Jesus--2000 years in the grave is apt to take it out of a man. "Miracles" are not my thing but I'm seen on-stage some of the doggoned best magicians in the whole doggoned world.
