Freeza: Oh, come now. If I'm really as evil as you say I am, then let God strike me down where I stand...

"Usually the good Lord works In Mysterious Ways. But not today! This here is 66 tons of straight-up, HE-spewin' dee-vine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me cupid!"

Jules: This was Divine Intervention! You know what "divine intervention" is?
Vincent: Yeah, I think so. That means that God came down from Heaven and stopped the bullets.
Jules: That's right. That's exactly what it means! God came down from Heaven and stopped these motherfuckin bullets.
Vincent: I think it's time for us to leave, Jules.
Jules: Don't do that! Don't fucking blow this shit off! What just happened here was a fucking miracle!
Vincent: Chill, Jules, this shit happens.
Jules: Wrong! Wrong, this shit doesn't just happen.
Vincent: Do you wanna continue this theological discussion in the car, or at the jailhouse with the cops?
Jules: We should be fuckin' dead, my friend! What happened here was a miracle, and I want you to fucking acknowledge it!
Vincent: Okay man, it was a miracle, can we go now?

The gods are often hesitant to directly intervene in mortal affairs. Angels are typically used to intercede on the behalf of those whom the gods would bless or smite. However, there have been those who have required a god's direct assessment. The decision is often very unfortunate for the sinner.
— Flavour Text of the Judgement magic, Dawn of the Dragons
Miracles are the direct intervention of God in the world. As such, they can do anything, cannot fail, and cannot be resisted by any other power.
I can only conclude that another hand than mine was on the helm.
— Captain Arthur Rostron on the RMS Carpathia's daring rescue of the survivors of the RMS Titanic
