The Spiritual Gift of Miracles

The Spiritual Gift of Miracles    

Definition:

Working of Miracles is a spiritual gift and supernatural ability to exercise power over laws of nature for the purpose of bringing glory to God.

Description:

The Working of Miracles is not an everyday event. If it was, it would not be a miracle. Those who possess this gift are used by God to capture people’s attention that the God of the Bible is alive and active in their midst.

Example from the Scripture:

The Scriptures show us many people that were used in this Working of Miracles, including Moses (Exodus 4:30), Stephen (Acts 6:8), and the apostle Paul (Acts 28:6).

When this gift is present:

When the Working of Miracles is active in a church, there is a belief that even the most impossible situation can turn around in a moment with God’s intervention.

When this gift is absent:

When the Working of Miracles is absent in a local church, there is little expectancy for miracles to take place or for God to intervene in impossible situations.

In the Life of Jesus:

The life of Jesus is consistently marked with the miraculous. From his first miracle of turning water into wine (John 2:1-11) to him calming the storm (Mark 4:35-41), feeding the 5,000 (Mark 6:44), and walking on water (Mark 6:48).
