Don't Trust in Miracles or the Miracle Workers (ePub)

Do you believe in miracles? Miracles do happen and people are blessed by them. Some people receive miraculously healings, or experience some other unexplainable super natural events. What should concern us the most are the miracles, fake or real, that are used to lead people astray with some false gospel.
Consider this scenario; you have two preachers/evangelists standing before you, each one with a different gospel message. One preacher/evangelist is able to do miracles of healing and promises prosperity, the other does not do miracles. Which one will draw the most people? Which one will people believe? Which message would most of the people would want to hear? A. the preacher/evangelist who does and promises miracles and perhaps for healing or prosperity, or B. the preacher/evangelist who calls on the people to "repent for the kingdom of God is at hand"? The answers to these questions are obvious - the miracle worker wins.

Why did Jesus do miracles? Seemingly for two reasons; he had compassion on those who were suffering (Matthew 9:36), and to demonstrate that he spoke YHVH God's words with YHVH God's authority (John 10:38).

Our natural inclination would be to think that the one that is doing miracles is able to do it because, as we figure, God is the source of the miracles, therefore God must be with the miracle worker, or at least they have God's approval and blessings, right?. And that may be logical conclusion, but, I will show you that just the opposite may often be true.

Miracles are great and if you get one, embrace it, enjoy it and praise YHVH God, but be cautious for some attached strings, a false teachings or understanding which is contrary to what Jesus spoke and YHVH's words in the Scriptures.

Miracles do not validate a speaker, or a religion, nor do they indicate that speaker or the religion has Divine favor. Miracles are often to test of our faith, as I will show you.
So, when we see a miracle, hear of a miracle or experience a miracle be careful on how you understand it, so that you are not deceived as many are. As it says in the Gospels and the Book of the Revelation a false religious person will do signs and wonders (13:13) and as a result 'all the world is deceived'. And I will explain why that is.
