Is the age of miracles over, or are they still happening now?

Faith Built on Truth – For Christ, Through Scripture, For Life

Introduction

We live in a world of clocks and microscopes, algorithms and satellites—a world that explains so much and yet leaves our hearts asking more. For many, miracles are considered fossils of faith, stories that belonged to an age of shepherds and stone tablets but not to a world of smartphones and science. We analyze storms with weather models, predict earthquakes with sensors, and map the human genome with precision, yet still, there are moments—unexpected and unexplainable—when the veil of ordinary life seems to tear.

Picture a mother who hears a doctor say, “There is nothing more we can do,” yet watches her child recover. A father finds the last coin for bread, only to see unexpected provision at his door. A woman wracked by years of bitterness suddenly forgiven and free. These are not headlines; they are heartlines—moments when eternity leans close and whispers: “I am still here.”

Miracles are not museum pieces; they are the living brushstrokes of a God still painting beauty on the canvas of our pain. These 10 reasons invite you to step beyond skepticism, to see what Scripture calls us to see: the God who worked wonders yesterday still moves mountains today.

1. The Unchanging Character of God

God’s miracles flow from who He is, not from human worthiness or historical coincidence. Scripture affirms: “I the LORD do not change” (Malachi 3:6), and “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). The God who parted seas (Exodus 14:21–22), healed Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:5), and raised Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:54–55) is unchanged in power and compassion. His miracles then reveal His character now—unchanging, faithful, and loving beyond measure.

Think of the sun: whether clouds obscure it or skies are clear, it shines the same. So does God’s nature—unchanging and reliable. His miraculous acts in Scripture and today arise from a heart that delights in rescuing the broken and lifting up the humble.

The hands that shaped galaxies still touch our broken world with healing grace.

2. The Promise of the Holy Spirit’s Power

Jesus’ promise of the Spirit’s power (Acts 1:8) was not a one-time event but an enduring reality. At Pentecost, supernatural signs confirmed God’s presence (Acts 2:4, 43), and Paul later emphasized spiritual gifts, including healing and miracles (1 Corinthians 12:7–10). The Spirit is still present, empowering believers to bring healing, deliverance, and supernatural hope.

The Spirit works like electricity: invisible yet transformative, dormant until connected. Believers connected to the Spirit witness God’s miraculous current flowing—transforming despair into joy, opening impossible doors, and renewing what was broken beyond repair.

The Spirit still whispers life into dust and turns ordinary prayers into extraordinary wonders.

3. Jesus’ Commission to Heal and Deliver

Jesus sent His disciples with the clear command: “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons” (Matthew 10:7–8). After His resurrection, He promised signs would follow those who believe (Mark 16:17–18). The early church obeyed, and miracles became common: Peter healed a lame beggar (Acts 3:6–8), Philip freed people from unclean spirits (Acts 8:7), and Paul even raised the dead (Acts 20:9–10).

This commission did not expire with the apostles. It continues wherever Christ’s followers extend His mission. God’s power flows not from personal ability but from obedience to Christ’s call and reliance on His Spirit.

The mission of Jesus did not end with His departure; it multiplied through His people.

4. Historical Witness of Miracles Throughout the Centuries

Miracles have never been confined to the biblical era. Augustine, once skeptical, recorded dozens of healings in his time. Medieval believers testified of supernatural provision, and revivals like the Moravian movement and Great Awakenings saw widespread healings and conversions. In modern times, missionaries report miraculous protection and healing in remote places, often where medical care is scarce.

These accounts are like rings of an ancient tree—evidence of life and continuity through the ages. God’s wonder-working hand has not been withdrawn; His power remains active across cultures and centuries.

The river of God’s wonders flows through every generation, never running dry.

5. Modern Testimonies Across the Globe

Across the world, believers testify of miracles today: blind eyes see, deaf ears hear, terminal illnesses reverse, and impossible financial needs are met at just the right time. Revelation 12:11 highlights the power of testimony to strengthen faith and defeat fear.

These stories are wildflowers in deserts—unexpected, vibrant, and undeniable. They remind us that God’s miraculous power is not limited to any era or geography but reaches wherever His name is called.

In unexpected places, God still writes headlines of hope across ordinary lives.

6. Miracles as Signs of God’s Kingdom Breaking In

Miracles are not random acts of power; they are signs that God’s Kingdom is breaking in. Jesus said, “If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you” (Matthew 12:28). They point to a future where sorrow and death are defeated (Isaiah 35:5–6; Revelation 21:4).

Picture spring shoots cracking through frozen ground—evidence that winter is ending. Miracles today are those green shoots, previews of the full renewal Christ will complete at His return.

Each miracle is a window into the future, showing what God’s Kingdom will one day fully be.

7. Prayer That Changes Circumstances

James promised that prayer offered in faith would heal the sick (James 5:14–15). Elijah’s prayers altered weather patterns (James 5:17–18), and Jesus said those who abide in Him could ask boldly (John 15:7). History and personal experience affirm that prayer still moves mountains.

Prayer is a seed planted in unseen soil, watered by faith. God often answers in ways beyond logic or timing, surprising His people with healing, provision, and deliverance beyond expectation.

Every prayer is a seed, and sometimes God grows forests from a single whispered word.

8. Deliverance from Spiritual Oppression

Spiritual bondage is real, but Christ still sets captives free (Luke 4:18). He gave authority over darkness (Luke 10:19), and Acts records joy as cities experienced deliverance (Acts 8:7–8). Even today, testimonies describe people freed from fear, addiction, and oppression at the name of Jesus.

Deliverance is like chains breaking from a prisoner’s wrists—a moment of sudden freedom that no human power could achieve. Christ’s authority remains absolute over spiritual darkness.

The name of Jesus still breaks chains no human hand could loosen.

9. The Witness of Changed Lives

One of the greatest miracles is the transformation of a human life. Scripture calls it becoming a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 36:26–27). Hardened hearts soften, enemies reconcile, and sinners find forgiveness. These inner transformations often outlast physical healings.

Think of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly—utterly transformed, not just improved. So too, God’s Spirit reshapes our very nature, making us living testimonies of His power.

The greatest miracle may not be outside us but the new creation rising within us.

10. Anticipation of Greater Works to Come

Jesus said His followers would do even greater works (John 14:12). These works—spread across generations and continents—include both the miracles we see today and the ultimate renewal at Christ’s return (Romans 8:21; Ephesians 3:20–21).

Today’s miracles are dawn before sunrise, whispers of a future when every tear is wiped away and all is made new. They give hope, fuel mission, and call us to faithful expectation.

Today’s miracles are shadows of a brighter morning when all will be made new.

Conclusion

Miracles are cracks of light in a dark room, whispers of eternity breaking into our time. They are signs that the story isn’t over and despair doesn’t win. God’s miraculous hand is not about spectacle but love—love that steps into pain, rewrites endings, and calls us to believe.

The question is not only “Does God still work miracles?” but “Will you trust Him to work in your life?” Maybe the greatest miracle of all is not a storm stilled or a body healed, but a heart awakened to faith.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, open my eyes to see Your hand at work. Where I doubt, give me faith. Where I am broken, bring healing. Use me as Your vessel of hope and life. Amen.
