There is no explanation for how Jesus turned water into wine, nor do we know how the God-man was able to stop a howling storm by just speaking to it. These occurrences are based in technology, but they are so incredibly advanced that it is impossible for humanity to distinguish them from miracles (magic) and demonstrates how advanced the spirit world is when it comes to technology. Thus, a miracle is the work of God from the spirit world that makes the impossible possible in the physical world. When we see power display from the spirit world, it is easy to label it a miracle or even call it magic.

The spirit world is infinite and our physical universe exists somewhere in it. Our most advanced technology is stone age in comparison to the spirit realm. Angels populate our universe is so advanced that it would be easy to categorize it as magic because we don’t understand how it functions. These messengers of God have the capacity to enter the physical world and interact with humans. Sometimes we can see them, such as when Gabriel came to Mary, but most of the time the work they do on earth is carried out in such a way that mankind cannot see them.

Partway through the wedding feast at Cana, Jesus was informed that there was no more wine for the guests. He instructed the servants to fill six stone pots with water and patiently waited for them to finish the task. Then He told one of them to ladle some into a cup and give it to the master of ceremonies, who was stunned when he tasted the wine, declaring it was the best quality he had ever drunk. Jesus did not fill the water pots, nor did He did take a sample from it; all He did was to speak and the Holy Spirit and angels did the rest.

Jesus had been in Capernaum for about two days and great multitudes had come for healing. Needing a break, the God-man and the apostles got into a fishing boat and set out from the eastern shore. Jesus found a spot in the back of the ship and fell into a deep sleep. It was not uncommon for a storm to rapidly form on the Sea of Galilee. Peter, Andrew, James, and John were professional fishermen and storms were nothing new to them, but even they were afraid of the wind and the waves that threatened to sink the boat. The men woke Jesus in a panic, thinking they were about to die, and when the God-man stood up and rebuked the storm, they wondered how Jesus could control the elements.

Most Christians have read these stories and wondered how Jesus performed these two miracles. Was it magic? No, but there was certainly a supernatural element in play. The answer can be found in the Holy Spirit and angels utilizing vastly superior technology from the spirit realm in our physical universe.

When Jesus was incarnated into a human body, He knew His identity and maintained knowledge of the spirit world and its technology. But the Son of God limited Himself, and in doing so, He had no more power than a regular human being. Nevertheless, Jesus relied upon the fact that when He spoke, God the Father heard it and ordered angels to carry it out.

Jesus stressed the fact that the miracles, healings and casting out of demons was also available to His followers. All believers in Christ have been deputized to operate in the power of the spoken word, and when we speak in the name of Jesus, it is carried out by the Holy Spirit and angels. Understanding this truth will revolutionize your life.

Remember, operating in this gift of the Holy Spirit – or any other for that matter – is exciting because it means you are in God’s will and He is choosing to use you for something particular. It is wonderful knowing that the path you’re on is sanctioned by God and receiving His blessing in the form of one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.
