Not All Miracles Are From God
Jesus Christ predicted false christs and false prophets would come and show great signs and wonders at the end of this age.
False ministers have always been around. Many do not know that they are false ministers. They preach in the name of Jesus Christ, perform many miracles, and cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 11:13-15; Matt. 7:22-23). Their gospel is simply incomplete. They teach religious traditions to lock in their unsuspecting followers. When they teach what man has made up, their worship of God is in vain (Mark 7:6-7). Notice also, they are workers of lawlessness, which means they are not getting rid of their evil natures (1 John 3:4).
The one thing these false (Satan’s) ministers are not preaching is how to do the Will of God daily on earth, as it is being done in heaven (Matt. 7:21; 6:10). They remain blinded as to what that Will of God is, so they cannot overcome their evil natures (Eph. 5:17).
Initially, the Apostle Paul did not know what God’s Will was and as a result, he was killing God’s own elect. He was zealous for God but his zeal was misdirected. His zeal was not in accordance with God’s Will. He and others went about establishing their own righteousness and their own religions (Rom. 10:2-3). God called Paul in his religious ignorance and appointed him to know His Will (Acts 22:14).
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and if we do not know God’s Will, we do not know God’s Way—how we should live to please God and overcome. Consequently, millions of those who seek God today have been led astray and are now going down the religious broad way that leads to destruction (Matt. 7:13). Jesus Christ Himself said there are very few who find the narrow Way (Matt. 7:14).
How many people do you know who do God’s Will daily in their lives for repentance and the sake of overcoming, as it is being done in heaven (Matt. 6:10; Acts 26:20 NIV; Rom. 12:21; Ps. 37:27)? How many even know what that means? How many people do you know who actually become weary in doing good for others, as Jesus, our example, became weary at times (2 Thess. 3:13; Gal. 6:9)?
There was a man named Simon Magus who practiced miracles through the use of magic. Satan and his demons make miracles happen to those who follow them (Acts 8:9-11). This man tried to buy the Holy Spirit from the Apostle Peter so that he could have power to do even greater miracles (Acts 8:12-24).
A clergyman once said, “All miracles are from God.” If you believe that statement, you will believe the beast when he comes. The beast who is coming will have the power of Satan and will perform signs (miracles) and false wonders (2 Thess. 2:9). The false prophet, mentioned in Revelation 13:11-18, will also have power to do all the miracles of the first beast.
Yes, the whole world is being set up to believe that all miracles are from God. Satan has used miracles and false wonders to deceive those who would follow him in all generations. He has used weeping idols, weeping icons (pictures) and all types of deception.
Trust God. Study His word until you can prove everything and trust His words. You cannot put your trust in men and what they tell you. Instead, you must prove everything by God’s word. You should do it because God said you should (1 Thess. 5:21).
