What did the apostle Paul mean when he listed “the working of miracles” as a spiritual gift in 1 Corinthians 12:10? If God can perform miracles through any believer who prays and acts in faith, why does Paul distinguish this ability as a unique gift of the Spirit?

In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard unpacks Paul’s teaching on the working of miracles, explaining how this gift operates, how it differs from the general exercise of faith, and why God distributes spiritual gifts according to His purpose. Drawing from Scripture as well as contemporary examples, Dr. Bernard offers clear, practical insight into how miracles function within the body of Christ today.

Whether you’re exploring spiritual gifts for the first time or seeking deeper understanding, this episode provides a thoughtful, biblically grounded look at an extraordinary gift.
