God's power is not a distant, theoretical concept but a tangible reality that can be experienced in our lives. The gifts of healing and miracles are two ways the Holy Spirit demonstrates God's compassion and authority in the world. The gift of healing is a specific ability to bring physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration, while the working of miracles is a supernatural intervention that defies natural laws. Both are given to build up the church, to testify to the truth of the Gospel, and to show a world in need that God is still active and deeply cares about His creation.
