1 Corinthians 12:10, Working of Miracles

1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

A miracle is a supernatural working by God that defies the laws of the natural created world. There are three epochs of miracles in human history traced through biblical testimonies during the time of the Exodus and Israel’s entry to the Promised Land, the time of the prophets Elijah and Elisha and during the days of Christ and the Apostles. These miracles were wrought to authenticate the Scriptures.

Again, like the gifts of healing, this gift of working miracles was gradually withdrawn after the completion of Scriptures. God can, however, still do so by His own power and volition. In the Scriptures, it is observed in the book of Revelation the return of miracles during the Tribulation period.

May the Lord help His people to be strengthened in the faith as the Scriptures is read, authenticating the power of God to help His people. Amen.
