We all need a miracle at some time to simply jump-start our faith.

There are so many miracles recorded in the bible, starting from OT to NT

But the the most important miracle in the Bible is the virgin birth of Jesus

There are Four Primary Types of Miracles

Miracles Over Nature

A miracle over nature would be a miracle performed over natural things.

Jesus turned water into unfermented wine in John, chapter 2. That was a miracle over nature because those were natural elements.

Jesus is still performing miracles of nature all over the Earth. People do not see them when they do not believe in them. God desires for you to experience miracles over nature.

Miracles of Supply

Miracles of Healing

"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and

HEALING ALL MANNER OF SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE among the people." (Matthew 4:23)

? Jesus created your body. He can restore your body when it begins to malfunction

Miracles Over Demon Powers

"And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and CAST OUT MANY DEVILS; AND SUFFERED NOT THE DEVILS TO SPEAK, because they knew him." (Mark 1:32-34

? No matter how great the manifestation of demon powers in the Ministry of Jesus, they could never hold their own against Him.

Demon spirits today, as in Bible days, still cause dumbness, deafness, foaming, fits, insanity, teeth gnashing, sickliness, sickness, suicide, screaming and exhaustion. Jesus, through Believers, is still exerting power over all physical and spiritual manifestations of Satan and demon spirits.

? Jesus is still drawing men and women to Himself through miracles over nature, miracles of supply, miracles of healing and miracles over demon powers.

In John 2, we read the story of Jesus performing his first miracle: turning water into wine.
