Overview
God worked miracles through His servants to validate their ministry and reveal His character. From raising the dead to casting out demons, these supernatural acts demonstrated God's sovereignty and compassion for His people. The miracles served as signs pointing to God's authority and the truth of His Word.
Key Scriptures
"Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, 'O Lord my God, let this boy's life come back into him'" (1 Kings 17:21, NIV). "And Peter said to her, 'Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.' Immediately he got up" (Acts 9:34, ESV). "So Joshua did as Moses told him and fought the Amalekites, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning" (Exodus 17:10-11, NIV).
Application
Believers today should trust that God's power remains active through prayer and faith, though we rely primarily on His Word rather than expecting miraculous signs as primary evidence of His work.
