Jeremiah Tipton explains the difference between healings and miracles: healings restore physical function like sight or hearing, while miracles defy natural law like feeding 5,000. Some believers receive a specific spiritual gift of healing or miracles, operating with greater measure of the Holy Spirit's grace in these areas.
What's the difference between a healing and a miracle? Biblically speaking, we see that a healing has to do with the physical body primarily. So it could be a deaf ear opening, maybe a skin condition is cleared out, blind eyes open, et cetera. A miracle has more to do with everything else. For example, the multiplication of food in the feeding of the 5,000 and various other demonstrations of God's power that seem to go against the laws of physics. So then what's the difference between just generally praying for the sick and the gift of healing? What's the difference between What's the difference between just a general miracle and the gift of miracles? I believe this has to do with focused assignment. Certain believers are given grace, favor in these areas. And so I would say the one with the gift of healing just has a more potent healing ability on their life. The one with the gift of miracles just has a more potent demonstration of God's power in that area. We all have the Holy Spirit, we've all been given faith, but these individuals God chooses to use more frequently and more intensely in these specific areas of grace.
