The New Testament indicates to Christians: "Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much." - James 5:1 (NASB).

In Acts 19: 13-17 the Bible declares concerning miracles:
{{Cquote|And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of [[Saint Paul|Paul]], so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them. Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. But the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?” And the man in whom was the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this became known to all the residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks. And fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.<ref>Acts 19: 13-17, Bible, ESV version</ref>}}
In the Old Testament [[Elijah]], who performed great miracles, taunted the prophets of Baal when there false god did not answer their prayer (1 Kings 20- 40).
