Miracles:..Literally, an event which causes wonder. In Christian theology a miracle is (1)an extraordinary event, unexplainable in terms of ordinary natural forces; (2) an event which causes the observers to postulate a super-human personal cause; (3) an event which gives implications much wider than the event itself. Purpose of miracles is revelation and edification (John 30;31). Miracles are recognized by faith as being from God. The are outside the operation of known laws (John 4:48; Acts 2:19; ll Cor.12:12).

Miracles are powerful works attributed to a superhuman source inasmuch as they surpass known human or natural powers. Miracles sometimes involve the use of natural forces (such as an earthquake). Earthquakes, of course, are a natural occurrence but producing it at a specific time and place is what makes it a miracle. An example is when God produced an earthquake on the spot, the description of which is recorded at Numbers 16:31.
Although most people feel miracles must be traced to God alone, this is not so. Even demons are capable of producing miracles – powerful works.

A miracle is what happens when the impossible happens. They do happen everyday. I consider it nothing short of a miracle that I am able to get up every morning. By rights I should not be alive but IMO all things are possible through God. If I knew the process to complete a miracle, I would do my best to give one to everyone who needs it...however, I do not know the way to do them....I leave that to my God.

A spectacular and extraordinary events believed to be the work of God for a reason/purpose. There are many miracles written in the Holy Scriptures (just to prove and supports the identity of Jesus Christ being of Divine origin), and until our age today, many miracles happens too...if only you are militant to many happenings in our life.
Miracles defies science of course...that is why science is worldly and limited in its definition...until Divinity sets in and finish the story in an unexplainable manner.
so, I`m telling everyone...don`t insist your being wordliness... because we originally came from Divine origin.
Giving you examples: (done by Jesus Christ)
- water turns to wine.
- only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, which able to feed 5000 people and 12 extra baskets more.
- a mud + saliva put to restore eye sight of the man (inborn blind)
- let the paralyzed man walk.
- Jesus walk in the water, commanding the storm and violent waves to just stop and calm down.
- etc.etc.etc.

there is no actual "process" except faith in God.
a miracle is an event that occurs that is completely impossible in the natural realm, given the circumstances of the situation. It is a completely supernatural event, so that God gets the credit for what happened, and not people.
yes they exist..and they can exist more frequently, if people would just trust god.

firstly a miracle is not a trick or magic, a miracle is the result of God intervening in our humanity for a good reason, so a miracle is always outside the laws of nature as we know it, and though many things are credited as miracles today they must first be discerned for the reality of the presence and power of God and not just some conjuring trick.

To me a miracle is something that happens without explanation or is totally unexpected. I believe in natures miracles, they happen all the time!

The definition varies widely. But I have seen many miricles in my lifetime. From God taking my life and making it worth living to seeing people transformed in body and in thier minds in amazing and powerful ways.
