Miracle - Marvellous event due to supposed supernatural
agency
 Oxford English Dictionary 1978
The bible is full of examples of God's power; from creation to
Revelation. This power is
often from God directly, as with the burning
bush, (Exodus 3). It is however, far more
frequent that God shows His
power through His people rather than through ten plagues,
(Exodus 7-11).
Jesus seems to take this notion a stage further by suggesting that we
can choose
whether or not we have God's power, dependant on our level
of faith. Matthew
17:20
Then when Jesus left this world to return to His Father in Heaven, he
promised to send
His people a new source of power in the Holy Spirit.
Acts
1:8
So who is the Holy Spirit, what are these gifts of power, and what
is their purpose?
