Miracles In The Bible

The story of Jesus casting the legion of demons into a herd of pigs is found in Matthew 8:28–34; Mark 5:1-20; and Luke 8:26–39. Only Matthew mentions the more prominent of the two demoniacs involved. Demoniacs were persons whose minds came under the control of an evil spirit or spirits. That such phenomena were especially prominent during the days of Christ’s earthly ministry is consistent with Satan’s efforts to counteract God’s program. It also allows us to witness the spir

The people of Israel found themselves in the desert where there are not a lot of food choices. Walking through the desert day after day is bound to strike up a hunger, so they had to eat something. They did not know what they were going to eat so the people grumbled. They had been pulled out of the fertile lands of Egypt and placed in the dry, parched desert. How on earth were they going to survive? Anxiety levels elevated; the Israelites quickly forgot how the Lord brought t

Peter’s mother-in-law—a woman who expressed her gratitude to God through  ministering (see Matthew 8:14–15; Mark 1:29–31; Luke 4:38–39).

Joshua 10:12-14 relates one of the most amazing miracles of all time-the day the sun  stood still. "On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the  Lord in the presence of Israel: 'Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the  Valley of Aijalon.' So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged  itself on its enemies.... The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going  down about a full day. There has never be

God commanded the prophet Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and warn its people that He was going to destroy it for its wickedness. Jonah  disobediently ran from the Lord and headed for the city of Tarshish by boat.  The Lord then sent a severe storm that caused the crew of the ship to fear  for their lives. Jonah was soon thrown overboard and swallowed by a great  fish where he remained for “three days and three nights” (Jonah 1:15–17).  In the belly of the whale, Jonah rep
