Miracles are properly defined as "works of power." Though they can be "supernatural" (going beyond, or violating, natural laws), they do not always have to. Many times, they involve the unique arrangement of circumstances and laws of nature in ways that are totally unexpected and not normal.
Because of this, there are times that evil powers can work miracles (that it, "works of power"). We need to always remember this fact; for the presence of miracles is not proof that something is from the True God.
At times, when there is "competition" between the demon-controlled miracle-worker and a genuine prophet of God, the demon-controlled miracle-worker will finally acknowledge the supremacy of God's power.
