"working of miracles"
A Power Gift
A miracle is the performance of something which is against the laws of nature; it is a supernatural power to intervene and counteract earthly and evil forces. The word miracle comes from the Greek worddunamiswhich means "power and might that multiplies itself." The gift of miracles operate closely with the power gifts of faith and healing to bring authority over Satan, sickness, sin, and the binding forces of this age.

Miracles can also be defined as supernatural or natural events with precise timing to bring glory to God. God exhorts us with energy to do something that is not natural or normal to us. Just as the ministry gift of miracles is the expression of prayer, so is the function of the Holy Spirit to direct our prayers. Read Romans 8:26.

It is God's desire that believers utilize these spiritual gifts to combat unbelief and bring non-believers to repentance in order that spiritually dead people can be transformed into new creatures in Christ Jesus. After you become a new creature in Christ, a miraculous transformation begins to occur in you everyday to confirm you to Christ's imagine...SeeEphesians 1:17-20, and to strengthen our inner man, Colossians 1:10-11. The power of God was miraculously manifested in the lives of believers in the New Testament church, SeeActs4:33, Mark 16:20, and God wants His power not only working in you, but also through you. See Acts 1:8.
