A supernatural act of God that breaks the normal rules
lightbulbGod overriding the natural order to make a point — not magic, but a sign pointing to who He is
Jesus performed many: healing the sick, raising the dead, calming storms, feeding thousands. They weren't magic tricks — they were signs pointing to who He was and what God's kingdom looks like.
Privilege Doesn't Equal Immunity
1 Corinthians 10:1-5Miracles are referenced here to underscore Paul's core point: the Israelites witnessed extraordinary supernatural acts and still fell away, proving that spiritual experience alone does not produce faithfulness.
Stop Disqualifying Yourself
1 Corinthians 12:15-20Miracles are listed here among the flashy, high-visibility gifts that were distorting the Corinthians' sense of worth, leading those without such gifts to feel like outsiders.
The Prophet Nobody Wanted to Hear
2 Chronicles 16:7-10The miracle of the Ethiopian defeat is invoked here by Hanani as evidence of what God does for those who trust him — the very precedent Asa himself set but has now abandoned, making his self-reliance inexcusable.
The Valley of Blessing
2 Chronicles 20:26-30The miracle of God routing three armies through self-destruction is what shifts the entire regional political landscape — neighboring kingdoms recalibrate their relationship to Judah based on what they heard God did.
The One-Line Secret
2 Chronicles 27:6-9Miracle is notable here by its absence — the text pointedly says Jotham grew mighty not through supernatural intervention but through the ordinary discipline of ordering his ways before God day after day.
The Danger After the Victory
2 Chronicles 32:24-26Miracle refers to the sign God gave Hezekiah confirming his healing — an act of divine power that becomes the dangerous occasion for the pride that follows.
Strength That Looks Like Weakness
2 Corinthians 11:30-33A miracle is pointedly what Paul does NOT choose to end on — he bypasses any supernatural triumph in favor of a story of helplessness, signaling that God's power is displayed through weakness, not spectacular displays.
You Made Me Do This
2 Corinthians 12:11-13Miracles are cited here as Paul's on-the-ground evidence of genuine apostolic authority — signs performed visibly among the Corinthians that should have made this entire defense unnecessary.
The Prophet's Last Arrow
The Miracle referenced here points forward to Elisha's postmortem resurrection of a dead man — described as one of the strangest and least-known miracles in the entire Old Testament, where a corpse revives simply by touching a prophet's bones.
A River Parts Again
2 Kings 2:7-8The miracle of the parted Jordan is noted here not as public spectacle but as a private act between mentor and successor — a sign that the same God who empowered past leaders is still at work.
God Changed His Mind
2 Kings 20:4-7Miracle and medicine sit side by side here — God promises supernatural healing and then instructs Isaiah to apply a fig compress, illustrating that divine intervention often works through ordinary means rather than bypassing them.
The Prophet Who Almost Said No
2 Kings 3:13-19Miracle is explicitly minimized here by God's own framing — filling a desert with water without rain is described as 'an easy thing for the Lord,' making the point that the supernatural provision is unremarkable by divine standards.
"The Gods Have Come Down!"
Acts 14:11-13The miracle of the lame man walking is the catalyst for the chapter's most bizarre episode — rather than pointing the crowd toward God, the supernatural act sends them straight to their Greek pantheon for an explanation.
When God Showed Up in Unusual Ways
Acts 19:11-12Miracle describes what God is doing through Paul at an extraordinary level — healings and exorcisms happening even through cloth that had touched Paul, meeting Ephesus's culture on tangible ground.
The Sermon That Almost Killed Someone
Acts 20:7-12The miracle of Eutychus being raised from the dead is treated here as secondary to Paul's teaching — the text notes that Paul returned upstairs to keep preaching rather than making the miracle the main event.
The Miracle Nobody Saw Coming
The Miracle is framed here as more than a spectacle — what matters most is what Peter does with the crowd's attention once the healing creates an opening.
Signs, Wonders, and Shadows
The Prophet Who Gets It Right — and Still Gets It Wrong
Deuteronomy 13:1-5The miracle here is genuine — and that's precisely what makes this scenario so disorienting. Moses argues that a real supernatural sign does not automatically validate a message's divine origin.
Long Enough ⏳
Deuteronomy 2:1-7The absence of miracles is the point here — the wilderness years between Kadesh-barnea and this moment are described without dramatic signs, just the quiet faithfulness of God sustaining Israel through ordinary time.
The Final Warning — Back to Where You Started
Deuteronomy 28:58-68The miracles of the Exodus are recalled here as the benchmark of God's redemptive power — making the threat of return to Egypt all the more shocking, since God performed wonders specifically so they would never go back.
Forty Years of Evidence
Deuteronomy 29:2-9Miracles are cited here as evidence that should have produced unwavering trust — but Moses bluntly notes that even tangible signs like preserved clothing and daily manna weren't enough to open their hearts.
When a New King Forgot
The author notes that Exodus begins without a miracle, emphasizing that God's work in this opening scene is slow and ordinary — demographics, not drama — before the supernatural events that follow.
Stop Praying and Start Moving
Exodus 14:15-18The miracle of the parted sea is presented here as contingent on obedience — it is waiting on the other side of Moses' step forward, not materializing through further analysis or planning.
Who Is Like You?
Exodus 15:11-13Miracle is used here to clarify the scope of Moses' celebration — he isn't simply tallying up a military victory but reflecting on the theological meaning of an unprecedented supernatural event.
The Longest Morning of Her Life
2 Kings 4:18-26Miracle is used here to describe the now-dead child — calling him the "miracle baby" sharpens the tragedy, because the son God gave supernaturally has been taken, and no explanation has been offered.
Miracles are occurring so regularly through the apostles at this point that people are carrying the sick into the streets hoping Peter's shadow alone will bring healing as he passes.
The View from the Mountaintop
Miracle is noted here by its absence — Moses' final chapter contains no dramatic supernatural act, just a quiet death, emphasizing that the closing scene is intimate rather than spectacular.
