When life throws you a curveball, sometimes all you need is a reminder that miracles do happen…
The Bible is packed with jaw-dropping moments that show God’s power in the most unexpected ways…
Whether it’s splitting seas, bringing the dead back to life, or providing in the middle of a crisis, these stories are bound to give your faith the boost it needs…
Let’s dive into seven miracles that will blow your mind—and maybe even spark a little more belief in the impossible…!
1. Elisha and the Floating Axe Head (2 Kings 6:1-7)
Let’s start with a lesser-known miracle that’s pretty wild: an axe head—made of iron, mind you—floats. Elisha, the prophet, was helping a group of men build a new home near the Jordan River.
As one man was chopping down a tree, his borrowed axe head flew off the handle and sank into the river. Major problem, right? Elisha, with calm confidence, tossed a stick into the water where it sank, and—get this—the heavy iron axe head floated to the surface!
A simple, but powerful reminder that even in everyday situations, God cares about the little things.
2. The Sun Stands Still (Joshua 10:12-14)
Talk about a cosmic miracle! During a battle between the Israelites and the Amorites, Joshua needed more daylight to finish the fight.
So what did he do? He prayed. Boldly. And God responded by literally making the sun stand still in the sky! For an entire day, the sun didn’t set, giving the Israelites more time to secure victory.
It’s like hitting “pause” on the universe for a bit! God heard Joshua’s prayer and answered in a BIG way, showing us that no prayer is too bold if it’s rooted in faith.
3. Jesus Turns Water Into Wine (John 2:1-11)
This one’s a classic, and it’s not just because of the wine. Jesus was attending a wedding in Cana when they ran out of wine—a huge embarrassment for the hosts.
His mother, Mary, knew He could fix the problem. So, Jesus instructed the servants to fill six large jars with water. Then, in a moment that must’ve left everyone speechless, He turned that water into the finest wine they’d ever tasted.
What’s so powerful here isn’t just the miracle itself—it’s how Jesus steps in at the right moment, transforming lack into abundance. He doesn’t just meet our needs, He exceeds them!
4. The Widow’s Oil That Never Ran Out (2 Kings 4:1-7)
Imagine being in so much debt that you’re about to lose everything—including your children! That was the situation for a widow who cried out to Elisha for help.
She had nothing left but a small jar of oil. Elisha instructed her to borrow as many empty jars as she could, then pour the little oil she had into them.
And—here’s the miracle—the oil didn’t run out until every jar was full! She sold the oil, paid off her debts, and had enough left over to live on. God provided not just what she needed, but an overflow.
5. Feeding of the 5,000 (Matthew 14:13-21)
This miracle is well-known, but it’s worth revisiting for just how mind-blowing it is. Imagine being in a crowd of over 5,000 people, hungry, and there are only five loaves of bread and two fish to go around.
Doesn’t seem like enough, right? But Jesus took that tiny meal, gave thanks, and miraculously multiplied it to feed everyone. Not only that, but there were 12 baskets of leftovers!
It’s a powerful reminder that when you give what little you have to Jesus, He can turn it into more than enough.
6. The Resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:1-44)
This is one of the most dramatic miracles in the New Testament. Lazarus, a close friend of Jesus, had been dead for four days. Four. Days. People were mourning, and all hope seemed lost.
But Jesus wasn’t done yet. He arrived at the tomb, called Lazarus by name, and—get ready—Lazarus walked out of the grave, alive and well!
This miracle shows that even death has no hold when God decides it’s time for life. If that doesn’t give your faith a boost, I don’t know what will.
7. The Parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21-31)
We couldn’t talk about miracles without including this legendary moment. The Israelites were trapped between the Red Sea and the advancing Egyptian army.
There was no way out—until Moses stretched out his hand, and God parted the sea. Yep, the sea split in two, creating a dry path for the Israelites to cross.
As soon as they made it safely to the other side, the waters rushed back, drowning the Egyptians in pursuit. It’s a story of rescue, deliverance, and God’s unmatched power over the forces of nature.
These miracles are more than just cool stories—they’re real events that show God’s incredible power and His desire to step into our lives.
When you’re feeling stuck or in need of a faith boost, remember these jaw-dropping moments. God can move mountains, make iron float, and even bring the dead back to life.
And if He can do that, imagine what He can do for you!
