Signs and Wonders

There are many things going on in the world that can seem to come from God because they are beyond our understanding.  Strange things happen and many proclaim, "It must be a miracle from God!" However the Bible warns us that in the last days things will occur and people will attribute them to God but they are a lie.

Matt 24:24 "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."

Rev 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

Signs and wonders...what would that look like today?  Crying statues?  Oil dripping from paintings?  Gold dust falling from heaven? Apparitions of the Virgin Mary?  What else could these things be if they aren't from God?  Did you notice in the above quote from Revelation that demons can work miracles?  Remember when Moses performed the 10 plagues to free the Israelites from Pharaoh, and Pharaoh's magicians were able to replicate many of the impressive miracles from God (Ex 7)?  That's because magic is witchcraft (" the use of sorcery or magic : communication with the devil or with a familiar spirit" Merriam-Webster).  Magicians use demons to work supernatural wonders, and it still happens today. 

Weeping Statues and Oil Paintings:
You have probably heard of the 'miracles' where Catholic statues weep, and people flock from all over the world to see this miracle.  What is the result of these crying statues? Do people fall down and worship God, or do they revere the statue (and Mary)? 

But this isn't just a Catholic thing...it happens in other religions.  When a hindu statue drinks milk is it another miracle from God?



I have already linked several videos discussing the Marian apparitions, see post .

Within 'Christian culture' there are many false prophets today deceiving many people.  Todd Bentley, Patricia King, and Joshua Mills perform 'miracles' and deceive many, many people.  This video is of FALSE PROPHETS...






"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." 1 John 4:1
