Miracles are surprising events that people often pray for because of the positive effects they bring. An HIV patient for instance prays that one day, the virus will disappear from his blood system. These events do not agree with scientific theories so they are linked to God's intervention in the lives of men. Stories of miracles abound in the Bible where different kinds of individuals were both partakers and beneficiaries of God's divine help.
One of the stories worth mentioning is the healing of the woman with an issue of blood. The woman's blood flowed continuously for twelve years until the day she met Jesus. She just said within herself that all she needed to do was to touch the hem of His garment; and that was all. Her blood flow seized as soon as she took the action.
There are several stories of people getting their sight in the Bible. One of such stories is related to Blind Bartimeus. Bartimeus was blind right from the day he came from his mother's womb. As a result of his condition, he always sat by the road side asking for gifts. One day, he got the greatest gift of His life as Jesus came around. Jesus healed his blindness and he began to see clearly, like every other person.
The story of the demon possessed man (legion) is another miracle. Before Jesus met Him, many people had tried their best to bind him. However, he always found a way to break the chains and injure himself. When Jesus met Him, he cast the demons into a swine of pigs and let them drown in the river by the side.
Another astonishing wonder was Jesus walk on water. The purpose of this miracle was not to show off but to let his disciples know they could do anything he does by simply looking unto Him. This is true because He also beckoned on Peter to do the same.
Another miracle is the feeding of five thousand men with few slices of bread and two fish. This happened after Jesus taught the crowd and felt the need to feed them before letting them go. There was nothing around except five loaves of bread and two fish which were found in the hands of a little boy in the crowd. Jesus used this to feed the multitude and there were 12 baskets remaining.
There are also stories of resurrection from the dead. One of such stories is the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead, after he had been buried for four days. Jesus purposely refused going to see his friend, Lazarus, when he was told of the state of his health because he wanted God's name to be praised by the outcome.
The Old Testament also has many stories of miracles. Some of them include the exit of the Israelites through the Red Sea, the creation of the world, destroying the walls of Jericho and the restoration of Naaman. All these stories are recorded to let everyone know that miracles are still possible today.
