There is something powerful about preaching on the miracle-working power of the Holy Spirit, because the message itself points us back to one undeniable truth: we serve a miracle-working God.

As we continue this series on the Holy Spirit, my prayer is not simply that we would gain more information, but that our faith would be stirred. Scripture reminds us again and again that the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead now lives in believers. That means the miraculous is not just a Bible story from long ago—it is part of the life God still desires to pour out today.

The truth is, we cannot build our understanding of God on opinions, experiences, or culture. We must build it on Scripture. And throughout the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, we see a God who moves supernaturally in impossible situations to reveal His glory and draw people back to Himself.

A miracle is more than coincidence or something difficult to explain. A true biblical miracle is the direct intervention of God into an impossible situation. It is heaven touching earth. It is God revealing His power in a way that no human effort could accomplish.

From the opening words of Genesis, we see the power of God on display. He spoke creation into existence. He formed galaxies, placed stars in the heavens, and calls them each by name. He parted seas, healed diseases, raised the dead, and ultimately brought salvation through Jesus Christ. Scripture repeatedly declares that nothing is too hard for Him.

And Jesus Himself modeled the miraculous everywhere He went. He opened blind eyes, healed the lame, cleansed lepers, cast out demons, fed multitudes, calmed storms, and conquered death itself through His resurrection. But the story did not stop there.

The early church walked in that same power through the Holy Spirit. The apostles healed the sick, raised the dead, and boldly ministered in signs and wonders. Miracles were not treated as strange interruptions—they were evidence that the living God was present among His people.

That same Holy Spirit is still at work today.

Acts 1:8 says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” The Greek word used for power is dunamis—supernatural, miracle-working power. Jesus even declared in John 14 that believers would continue His works through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

Miracles are not reserved for a select few. They are not limited to Bible days. They are not just for someone else.

They are for today.

Maybe you need a miracle in your health, your marriage, your family, your emotions, your finances, or your faith. Maybe you need breakthrough in an area that feels impossible. The good news of the gospel is that we serve a God who specializes in impossible situations.

Jeremiah 32:27 asks, “Is anything too hard for me?”

The answer is no.

So set your expectation. Stir your faith. Believe again that our God still heals, restores, delivers, and saves. Pursue not merely miracles, but the miracle-working God—and watch what He will do.
