God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Miracles, according to the biblical definition, preclude the necessity of secondary means and are not limited by the laws of nature. They involve God's supernatural intervention. Jesus's miracles were never limited; they were never doubted; they were performed in public; they were abundant and instant. Anything that would claim the title miracle today should also possess those qualities. Unfortunately, the contemporary church tends to trivialize the idea of miracles by labeling anything out of the ordinary as miraculous.
