Answer:

Yes. God still performs miracles. In Acts 2, we read that the Holy Spirit came upon the believers and they spoke in tongues, Peter stood up and quoted the prophet Joel (Acts 2:14) which said, “your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.” (Acts 2:17) Likewise, In 1 Corinthians, 11-14, we see a whole list of instructions on how the church is to practice the spiritual gifts such as tongues, healing and prophecy. These are taught with the expectation that the church is to continue to exercise these miraculous gifts in the present age. In other words, the performing of signs and wonders are to be expected in our day. Likewise, apart from the apostles, we also read in James 5:14-15 that if anyone is sick, he is to call the elders of the church to pray over him, anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord and he will be made well. This indicates to us that the miraculous gifts of healing are to be part and parcel of everyday church life and it is an integral part of the ministry and responsibility of a church elder.  

Some people who teach that miracles are not to be expected like to quote 1 Cor 13:8-12 as evidence that the gifts will stop when the writing of the scriptures have been completed:

“Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”  

But this verse does not mention anything about the gift ceasing when the scriptures are completed. Instead, it teaches us that the miraculous gifts will cease only at a future time: verse 12 tells that the miraculous gifts will cease when we know God even as we have been fully known. This refers not to a time in our present age, but to a time in the future. As such, we should expect the miraculous gifts recorded in the Bible to still be performed today.
