In
the New
Testament these four Greek words are principally used to designate
miracles:
Semeion, a "sign", i.e., an evidence of a divine
commission; an attestation of a divine message (Matt.
12:38,39; 16:1, 4;
Mark
8:11; Luke
11:16; 23:8;
John
2:11, 18,
23;
Acts
6:8, etc.); a token of the presence and working of God; the seal of
a higher power.
Terata, "wonders;" wonder-causing events;
portents; producing astonishment in the beholder (Acts
2:19).
Dunameis, "might works;" works of superhuman power
(Acts
2:22; Rom.
15:19; 2
Thess. 2:9); of a new and higher power.
Erga, "works;" the works of Him who is
"wonderful in working" (John
5:20, 36).

Standing
before him was an awesome being, 10-feet tall, robed in brilliant white...an
angel. The messenger of God lifted up his hand and pointed a finger directly
at Jan:
"You
see, _____, all you must do is be available
"You
see, _____, all you must do is the work."
Miracles
are seals of a divine mission, as proof that they were messengers of God. Our Lord
also appealed
to miracles as proof of his divine mission (John
5:20, 36;
10:25,
38).
Where miracles are there certainly God is. Then men and women (man) who works
a miracle affords proof that he comes with the authority of God; they are his
credentials that he is God's messenger. He boldly says, "God bears me
witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles."
Miracles
are fitted to convey the impression of the presence and power of God.
Romans
1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God
to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the
Greek.
Luke
24:49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city
of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
Miracles
are designed to authenticate the commission of the teacher and the truth of
the message
(John
2:18; Matt.
12:38). 2 Samuel 22:33 God is my strength and power, And He makes
my way perfect.
Ecclesiastes
10:20 Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even
in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in
flight may tell the matter.
1 Corinthians 12:13 For by one
Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether
slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.
2
Corinthians 6:14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what
fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light
with darkness?
Hebrews
3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Luke
18:27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with
God.
Miracles are super natural not natural

16:17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast

over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and
all kinds of disease.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken,
not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Miracles

John
5:30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is
righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who
sent Me.
Deuteronomy
28:2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you
obey the voice of the LORD your God:
Miracles
happen when we ask
John
16:23 “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to
you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you.
John

that your joy may be full.
John
16:26 In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I
shall pray the Father for you;
Ephesians 3:20God is able to do far more than we could ever
ask for or imagine.
Hebrews 2:4And this is the confidence that we have in him,
that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
John 15:16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and
appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain,
that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you.
John 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you

on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My
Father in heaven.
Matthew 7:7 “Ask,
and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be
opened to you.
James 4:2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to
have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask
not.
