Can Jesus Still Perform Miracles Today?
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever — and His power has not diminished.
Have you ever found yourself whispering a prayer with more desperation than faith?
Maybe you’ve stood beside a hospital bed praying for healing, watched your marriage unravel despite your tears, or begged God to break an addiction that keeps dragging you under. You may believe in Jesus — or at least want to — but deep down, you’re wondering:
“Does He still work today? Does He still do miracles… or is that just something from Bible times?”
In a world overflowing with pain, where suffering seems louder than silence, this question matters more than ever.
Here’s the truth this article will proclaim:
Yes, Jesus still performs miracles today — because He is alive, and His power has never changed.
This one truth can transform the way you see your pain, your prayers, and your purpose.
✨ One Central Truth: Jesus Is Alive — And His Power Still Flows
The heart of Christianity is not just a philosophy, a moral system, or a historical religion. It is a Person — Jesus Christ — who died, rose again, and still lives.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
— Hebrews 13:8
The miracles Jesus performed during His time on earth were never mere displays of power. They were signs of His compassion, His authority, and His identity as God in the flesh. And if He has not changed — then neither has His ability, nor His willingness, to intervene in our world.
Let’s go deeper.
📖 The Miracles of Jesus in the Bible
When you read the Gospels, you don’t just see miracles — you see the heart of Jesus on display.
He healed the sick.
“Jesus went throughout Galilee… healing every disease and sickness among the people.”
— Matthew 4:23
He touched lepers no one else would go near. He gave sight to the blind, made the lame walk, and raised the dead. And every healing was personal. He saw the hurting. He felt their pain.
He calmed the storm.
“Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.”
— Matthew 8:26
Nature obeyed Him. The One who created the wind and the waves could silence them with a word. His miracles weren’t only about healing bodies — they were about revealing His divine authority.
He fed the hungry.
“Taking the five loaves and the two fish… they all ate and were satisfied.”
— Luke 9:16–17
He provided for physical needs, not just spiritual ones. He showed that nothing — not even scarcity — could limit Him.
So here’s the question: If this is who He was, and He has not changed, why wouldn’t He still do miracles today?
🪞Why We Struggle to Believe in Modern Miracles
1. We’ve Been Disappointed
Maybe you prayed, fasted, cried — and still lost someone. Maybe you asked for healing and it didn’t come. The silence of unanswered prayers can make the idea of miracles feel cruel.
But Scripture is honest: not every prayer in the Bible received the answer people wanted immediately.
Paul, a man of unshakable faith, asked God to remove a “thorn in the flesh” — and God said no. Instead, Jesus told him:
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
— 2 Corinthians 12:9
God’s love is not always proven by the outcome — but by His presence in our pain. Even when He doesn’t move the mountain, He gives strength to climb it.
2. We’ve Settled for Religion Without Power
In many churches today, the supernatural is explained away. People treat miracles as outdated, or claim they stopped after the early church.
But Jesus warned of this kind of empty formality:
“Having a form of godliness but denying its power…”
— 2 Timothy 3:5
Jesus didn’t come to start a powerless religion. He came to bring the Kingdom of God — a Kingdom of power, healing, and freedom.
🌍 Real Stories of Miracles Today
All over the world — in hospitals, villages, cities, prisons, and bedrooms — Jesus is still at work. Here are just a few kinds of modern miracles believers testify about:
✅ Physical Healing
Cancer vanishing. Blind eyes opening. Paralysis reversed. While not every story is instant, there are thousands of documented testimonies of healings doctors can’t explain. Not by magic. Not by wishful thinking. By Jesus.
✅ Addiction Broken
A man strung out on heroin, moments from suicide, cries out to Jesus — and is instantly freed. No rehab. No withdrawal. Just a miracle.
✅ Provision in Desperation
A family with no food left receives a knock on the door — a stranger with groceries they didn’t ask for. A check in the mail for the exact amount of a bill due. Coincidence? Or a God who sees?
✅ Emotional Healing
Those who lived with crippling depression or PTSD testify to peace that surpasses understanding. Miracles don’t always look like lightning bolts. Sometimes they feel like breathing again.
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me… to heal the brokenhearted…”
— Luke 4:18
🔥 The Purpose Behind Every Miracle
Miracles are never just about the miracle.
When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He didn’t do it to impress a crowd. He said:
“Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
— John 11:40
Every miracle is a signpost pointing to Jesus — His love, His glory, His authority. And the greatest miracle of all is not healing a body, but saving a soul.
“But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins…”
— Mark 2:10
He healed the paralyzed man — but only after saying, “Your sins are forgiven.” Because no matter how powerful His miracles are, His mercy is greater.
🙋 So How Can You Experience a Miracle?
1. Come to Jesus, Not Just a Solution
He is not a vending machine. He is the Living God. Come to Him for Him — and trust that He knows what is best.
2. Ask in Faith — But Trust His Will
“If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
— Matthew 21:22
Faith does not mean we demand. It means we trust. Sometimes He says yes. Sometimes He says wait. But He always says, “I am with you.”
3. Confess and Repent
God still performs miracles — but He also calls us to holiness. Miracles are not a substitute for repentance.
“Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.”
— Acts 3:19
If your heart is far from God, the miracle He wants to do first may be in you.
💡 What If the Miracle You Need Isn’t What You Think?
Maybe the miracle isn’t the healing of your cancer — but the healing of your fear.
Maybe it’s not the return of a relationship — but the restoration of your joy.
Maybe it’s not changing your circumstance — but changing you in the middle of it.
“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might He increases strength.”
— Isaiah 40:29
The greatest miracle is always this: that Jesus saves, transforms, and never leaves.
✝️ Come to Jesus
Miracles are not extinct. They are alive in the heart of a risen Savior who still walks with us through fire, silence, storms, and suffering.
But more than healing your body, Jesus came to save your soul.
He came for you — not when you were clean, but when you were broken. He took your sin upon Himself on the cross. He died, was buried, and rose again. That’s the greatest miracle in history — and it was for you.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
— Romans 6:23
So what now?
Turn from your sin. Call out to Jesus. Ask Him to forgive you, to change you, to live in you. Not because you deserve it — but because He loves you.
You can pray something like this:
“Jesus, I believe You are alive. I need You. I believe You died for me and rose again.
Forgive my sins. Come into my life. Make me new.
Whether or not I see the miracle I want — I trust You.
You are my Savior. You are my Lord. Amen.”
🕊️ He Is Still the Miracle Worker
If you’re still wondering, Can Jesus still perform miracles today? — the answer is YES.
But don’t just look for a sign. Look for the Savior.
Come with your wounds. Come with your questions. Come with your faith, even if it’s the size of a mustard seed.
He still hears. He still heals.
And He’s waiting for you.
