SUPERNATURAL GIFTS OF THE SPIRIT (6): THE WORKING OF MIRACLES
To another the working of miracles? …
I Corinthians 12:10 (KJV)
The Working of Miracles can be defined as the supernatural intervention of Yahweh in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle is a supernatural act on a natural plane. When the working of miracles is in manifestation, there is a divine intervention in the ordinary course of nature. For example, the dividing of a stream by the sweep of a mantle is an example of the working of miracles in operation (see 2 Kings 2:14). After Elijah ascended to heaven in a chariot in the whirlwind, Elisha received his mantle and smote the Jordan River. Dividing the waters by a sweep of his mantle was the working of miracles because that was a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. In the area of healing, many times miracles are received, but this is not necessarily the working of miracles; they are simply called healing miracles. Everything that Yahweh does is miraculous in a sense, but receiving healing by supernatural means is not a miracle in the same sense that turning common dust into insects just by a gesture is a miracle (see Exodus. 8:16), or turning common water into wine just by speaking a word is a miracle (see John 2:7-11). Those two occurrences are examples of the working of miracles.
Water turned into wine by the ageing process, or the process of nature, is a natural phenomenon. But water turned into wine just by speaking a word, as Jesus did (John 2:1-11), is a miracle according to our definition — a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature. A miracle, therefore, is a supernatural intervention in the ordinary course of nature, a temporary suspension of the accustomed order, or an interruption in the system of nature as we know it, operated by the power of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is used to display God’s power and magnificence. In Young’s Analytical Concordance to the Bible, the Greek word for “miracles” in First Corinthians 12:10 is “dunamis,” and can also be translated acts of powers. In other words, the working of miracles could also be called the working of acts of powers. According to the Greek concordance, the Greek word also means, explosions of almightiness or impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments. In other words, the Greek could read, “To another the working of impelling, staggering wonders or astonishments, or the outworkings of explosions of almightiness and acts of powers.”
The Working of Miracles is the mighty power of Yahweh flowing through a person. Oh how I desire that everyone of us will position in intimacy with the Holy Spirit and have this power flow through us. How much our world is in need of the manifestation of this power. Romans 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” They are waiting for the manifestation of the power of Yahweh. Can we yearn for the manifestation of this power?
REMEMBER: The working of miracles is the manifestation of the almightiness of Yahweh intervening in the ordinary course of nature.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire to function in the gifts of the Spirit according to Your Will. I ask that You help me to always maintain connection with Your Spirit, so I can be in the position to receive anytime according to His will in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I release that power over your life today. Receive divine intervention in that situation now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
