MIRACLES IN JESUS.
What is a miracle? A miracle is a remarkable and surprising event. It is not an expectation. What is usually expected is an incident and not a miracle. Whenever you expect some thing, and then it happens, it is not a surprise and therefore not a miracle.
When some one says that on such and such a date, I will give you one million dollar, and you receive that money on the appointed date, that can not be a surprise and therefore not a miracle becaue you have been expecting it to happen, but when you wake up in the morning, and find one million dollar on your table, then that's a miracle or a surprise.
A miracle happens to some one in an adverse situation, some one hopeless, expecting nothing to happen and then at once a surprise, or a miracle intervenes.
After knowing what a miracle is, I want us to discuss; how it comes about, and who makes it, and why it is made.
A miracle is always performed: through faith, by either God or satan. Satan can also make a miracle as long as the one it is done for has faith.
A miracle can be a real one or a counterfeit. A miracle is classified basing on the foundation on which it's performed.
The foundation can be either God's or satanic. Upon this, we can therefore classify miracles in the following sectors:
1. GOD'S TRUE MIRACLES, SIGNS AND WONDERS.
God's miracles are always true - not fake - and they are performed according to God's will; Hebrews.2:4 At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders...according to his will.[GNB]. It is not by man's will that a miracle can be made, it is God's.
Some people become very sure of the miracles to happen, thus some pastors invite people to go to them as to receive miracles which I do not think, they are done according to God's will but according to the pastor's will.You can not say, Come and take a miracle, even Jesus never said it but when people approached him, he healed them according to God's will moreover; John.5:30 "I can do nothing on my own authority; I judge only as God tells me, ...". One can be sure that one will perform a miracle, knowing that one has powers to heal, which I do not believe are God's powers, even Jesus never decided anything on his own or without God's consent. When we read of paul, he became ill for some time, but no matter how close to God he was, God never healed him though he prayed three times. This was simply because it was not God's will for Paul to get healed; 2Corinthians.11:32-28. Paul suffered very much only because it was God's will, Acts.14:22 ...we must pass through many troubles to enter the kingdom of God... [GNB]
.We observe the following about God's miracles:
-Miracles are made according to God's will. (Hebrews.2:4)
-God's miracles are real; they are not faked.
-God's miracles are not advertised; even Jesus never advertised himself as a miracle maker, he never asked people to go to him, and get healing. We can therefore not advertise God's miracles because miracles are not done according to our own will but God's.
-When God performs a miracle, through any person, if the person is really Godly, he or she does not ask for payment; 2Kings.5:1 - 27;...9 so Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10 and Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean. ...14 Then he went down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh was restored again like unto the flesh of alittle one, and he was clean. 15...and he said ..now therefore, I pray you, take a blessing from your servant. 16 But he said, As the lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. ...20 But Gehaz, the servant of Elisha...said...I will run after him, and take something from him. 23 And Naaman said (to Gehaz), Be content, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, ...and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him. ..25 ...And Elisha said unto him, from where come you, Gehaz? ...27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cling unto you and unto your descendants forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. Here we see Gehaz trying to get payment for God's powers, that had healed Naaman, and at the end, he got leprosy. Also Jesus himself never asked for a thanksgiving gift.
You must always remember, God's power is never exchanged for money; Acts.8:9 - 21. 18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands, the holy spirit was given, he offered them money, 19 saying, Give me also this power ...20 But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you... , God's power can not be bought with money, however money can be exchanged for satanic powers, thus people are asked money when they go to satanic shrines, which can be in form of churches with a name of Jesus or they can be ordinary shrines. so brethren, watch out, if some one makes a miracle and then asks you to give in as a thanksgiving offering or gift, you should know which kind of foundation, on which that miracle has been performed, if it's God's, it must be for free of charge.
-When God performs a miracle through a person, this person does not boast about because it is God who does it and not a person: 1Corinthians.9:16 I have no right to boast because I preach the Gospel. After all I am under orders to do it.[GNB].
Those, above are some of the indications of the miracles that are performed on the Foundation of truth and that is; the foundation of Jesus christ.
2. SATANIC FOUNDATION BASED MIRACLES.
We must believe that satan also performs miracles because even Jesus christ prophesied of this; Matthew.24:24 For there shall arise false christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 2Thessalonians.2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.
Satan can perform real miracles but not true miracles just because these miracles are not performed on the foundation of truth.
In the old ages, satan was known as satan. Whoever worshiped satan intended to, and was sure that he's worshiping satan, people could use their physical eyes to see that this is satanic, as he used to operate in ordinary satanic shrines, but now it is not the case. Satan operates as:
a}An Angel of light; 2corithians.11:14 And no marvel; for satan himself is transformed in to an angel of light. 13 For such are false prophets, deceitful workers, transforming themselves in to apostles of christ. Here, an ordinary shrine receives a new name: church (modern shrine). Satan disguises himself as a sheep, but when he is a wolf; Jesus talked of the coming of false christs in many instances and he said they would perform very many miracles if possible stray the chosen ones. In this case, satan is performing miracles in pulpits, of most of the churches in the world. He doesn't appear as satan but as a false christ, Matthew.24:24.,Miracles are perform by the Devil through the name of Jesus christ just because using the name of Jesus is not what matters but what matters is the foundation over which miracles are made: the source of the authority that performs the miracle..Even Jesus himself said; Matthew.7:21 Not every man that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my father who is in heaven. This means that if some one uses the name of Jesus to perform a miracle, it doesn't mean that that person is on the right foundation. Another thing we learn from; Matthew7:21 is that not whoever performs miracles, is to go to heaven.
This shows us that miracles do not show us whether some one is of God, but it's the things that one does that show that one is on the Foundation of truth or not. Most people wonder why evil so called pastors are able to make miracles, but remember that the more evil you are the happier satan is for you, hence giving you powers to perform miracles. most of these pastors are homosexuals, adulterers or fornicators, thieves, Liars, murderers, drug addicts, smugglers, etc, but still they can perform miracles.
Deuteronomy.13:1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and gives you a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke unto you, and he says, Let us go after other gods... 3 you shall not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams... From this scriptures we realise that:
-A person can perform a miracle using satanic powers.
-The same miracle maker teaches non-righteous ways to be followed by the people either through actions or words; by peace or force. Please, do not follow what is not right just because of the miracle made, if you really love God.
As an Angel of light, Satan can perform real miracles that is, a miracle can be witnessed by one's eyes but also as an Angel of light can fake miracles that is, miracles that are not real but fake, as to win many converts.
b}A spirit of darkness; 2Thessalonians.2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of satan with all powers and the signs and the lying wonders. In this case satan works in the satanic shrines and this is where we find sorcerers calling themselves sorcerers and not men and women of God, as is the case above but the bible says; All these treacherous hypocrites will go to hell.
Some so called christians run to such shrines, to get help and then, go to churches. God does not entangle himself with satan and this is why I say that, one doing such, is wasting one's time, you have to decide one of the two.
One can not serve two masters at ago as one woman can not marry and satisfy the needs of two men at ago.
If one performs a miracle and yet this person is a sinner, then you must know the powers this person uses, to perform miracles.
If you fail to understand these two ways through which satan performs miracles, then;
-you will ask God questions; why bad people: evil pastors have the ability to perform miracles.
-you will abandon your faith as a result of proving that God never exists, which is not true.
-you will be robed of your money and property as you put your trust in some one just because of the miracle he or she has performed.
-You will be embarrassed by pastors who perform miracles: I have had of many women who have been raped by these so called great men of God, I have seen very many young men with whom these so called great miracle makers have had homo sex, I have seen and heard of many who have been robed of their property by the same pastors just because of the miracles they make that yield too much trust in many Christians. Such people are not God's, they are messengers of satan and their goal is to derail God's chosen people from him.They want to get rich over the expense of others.
The following are some of the observations of the miracles performed on the foundation of satan:
-Miracles are based on pride; the miracle maker boasts about after performing the miracle; 1Corinthians.9:16 I have no right to boast because I preach the Gospel. After all I am under orders to do it.[GNB]. These miracles are advertised that is: On such and such a date, come to such a place and receive healing.This shows that it's not by God's will for such miracles to be performed but man's will who will say it according to satan's command. Some one will then go to the said place at an appointed date expecting to receive a miracle, I tell you the truth, that is no no longer a miracle. Remember that a miracle is an unexpected happening, that will instead be an appointed happening or event. It can not be a surprise as some one has been expecting it.
- Satanic miracles are paid for. One must give in the thanksgiving gift, one pays for it which is not the case with God's miracles. Remember what happened to Gehaz who tried to get payment for God's miracle.
[2Kings.5:1 - 27].But I want you to know that satan does not use your money, so you will have to pay him also and he will never leave you, until you pay him what he wants which is of course your life.
-satanic miracles are usually temporary, they do not last for so long.
-Some times the evil pastors who do not have enough satanic powers to make miracles instead fake miracles.This is usually done on crusades so that they can get many converts as to rob them. Some pastors fake lame people, crippled, or sick people [especially HIV patients] who then give false testimonies that they were healed by pastors. Proverbs.19:5 A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaks lies shall not escape. The pastor and the false testimony giver will all go to hell if they do not repent because they are liars.
This is a warning to all parents who are christians especially those who go to the miracle making churches, be very cautious of your children who go for night prayers and stay there the whole night. It is not usually safe at all at least a parent should accompany his or her child or children, if you can't stop going there, other wise you might regret it but when it's too late to help. I have seen many exploited young girls and boys by these so called great men of God Just because of the powers they have that people think they are of God, not knowing that they are satanic.
There's what we call exorcising: When a pastor casts out demons from some one, he must place it somewhere, what this person does is not really casting out the demons, but displacing it. He or she will get a more powerful demon and put it in some one who has a less powerful one which will leave the person and the more powerful one will have to be in some one as it gives that person rules to follow, when the person does not comply to them then this very powerful demon will start to torture the person.The less powerful demon will have to be put some where else as it has been displaced and therefore the pastors usually send these demons in these young people. This is the reason as to why some one converted as a saved will be in a worse state than the usual state before conversion, some one is posessed by demons every time thus every time the pastor has to cast the demons out of them and yet a non-christian spends years not even knowing that demons exist.You can find some one who should have been a grown up christian possessed by demons, what a shame!.
It is wrong to say that God does not perform miracles, he does but as he wills and at the time he wants. Jesus said; Mark16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out demons; shall they speak new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. These usually do not require a special church miracle maker, any genuine christian can cast out demons or pray for the sick and so on.
I therefore arge all christians of this day today world that, life is not easy, so many people make plans that are evil over other people's expense, be careful, watch out!.
If you were hurt by these heartless people especially the pastors, do not lose heart, do not kill yourself, you will be instead losing more and more hence satan's happiness. It is very true that God exists, he wants you to go directly to him and not through other people who might ruin you, get near to his throne of grace, he is waiting! he wants to help you; Hebrews.4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
God is not very far from you, the only way of meeting him is through prayers, I believe that some one wanting to talk to God will and he who seeks him will find him Matthew.7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks, it shall be opened. Call up on his name! and he will answer!.
God wants us to be pure and well first in spirit and the the rest can follow. Luke.12:31 But rather you seek the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added to you. The greatest miracle God wants you to receive TODAY is salvation, the rest especially material are not important to one's spiritual life {those who love money get caught up} 2Timothy.3:1-5. and this is why many cry just because they love money more than God hence seek for miracles no matter what it takes to pay for them. It is true that you can never pay satan and keep alive, so decide and please decide the better of the two; God or satan.
I want to refer you to God himself if you have any question that deserves to be answered by Him, I know he will answer you if you are serious. God bless you. Amen.
