Definition

This spiritual gift “working of miracles” is found in 1 Cor. 12:10 and is translated from the Greek word: energema dunamis. It is the ability to perform supernatural acts in which the power and action of God visibly affect people and things. This is powerful!

Function and Impact

Miracles are creative acts of power that override the natural realm with supernatural effect, as when Jesus commanded the storm to stop, or when He walked on water. Miracles are also expressions of healing that go beyond accelerating the natural processes of healing. An example of this would be an amputated limb growing out, a man that was blind from birth being healed or raising the dead. The Greek word from which we translate ‘miracles’ is dunamis, which means “power.” The greatest miracle, that which took the most power, was Christ’s resurrection.

Biblical Example

Tabitha was resurrected after Peter prayed for her. “Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.” (Acts 9:36-43)

God confirms his power and presence with the disciples by physically shaking the house they were meeting at. “And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.” (Acts 4 :31)

Pieces of cloth that had touched Paul were brought to the sick and they were healed from diseases and demons were expelled. “God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul...” (Acts 19:11-12)

How to Grow in This Gift

Focusing your mind on the testimonies of all the powerful miracles in the scriptures will build your faith to see miracles in your own life. Also it would be helpful to read books and articles and view videos of believers who have been used by God in this way. All these resources build up your faith, which is crucial for this gift. Be available in your heart for God to use you like Moses and see amazing miracles come through your life.
