THEIR
JESUS IS NOT A MIRACLE WORKER IN THE NOW!
Acts
2:22 "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested
by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your
midst, as you yourselves also know ---
Acts
8: 4
5 Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6 And the multitudes with one accord
heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he
did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many who were
possessed; and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed. 8 And there was
great joy in that city.
13
Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with
Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
Acts
15:12 Then all the multitude kept silent and listened to Barnabas and Paul
declaring how many miracles and wonders God had worked through them among the
Gentiles.
Preaching
a half truth is to preach a lie. It is sin and demonic not to preach the whole
gospel that Jesus Christ is not only Lord, but savior, healer, provider,
deliverer, miracle worker and Baptizer in the Holy Spirit who confirms the
preaching by His true ones with miracles signs and wonders following like Philip had. And to have a form of
godliness while denying its power is sin and rebellion!
Many
evangelical bible believing Christians who are devoid of miracles, signs and
wonders, want the benefits of salvation that God has offered which means they
want a Saviour but they do not want Jesus to be Lord which requires the Baptism
of the Holy Spirit. Jesus described such
people when He said, “And no one drinking old wine desires new; for he says,
‘The old is good (better)” (Lk. 5: 39).
In other words, they like their old forms of worship and a life without
the Holy Spirit. Paul calls this,
“holding the form of religion but denying the power of it. Avoid such people” (2 Tim. 3: 5).
Paul
mentioned such people who refused the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in 1 Cor. 14:
23 – 24. The Greek word that he uses to describe them is “idiotai” (plural),
“idiotes” (singular) which means they are spiritual “idiots” but usually
translated as “ungifted” of “unskilled” or laymen, amateurs, unskilled people.
They do not want the Holy Spirit nor do they want the Gifts of the Holy
Spirit. But they want to be involved in
churches and prevent the real work of God which requires the Baptism of the
Holy Spirit. They are people who want
what God has without coming under His Lordship which requires the Baptism of
the Holy Spirit with the “Signs” of the Holy Spirit. They are like the Pharisees of whom Jesus
said, “for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God” (Jn. 12:
3). Samuel told Saul, “Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness
as iniquity and idolatry. Because you
have rejected the word of the LORD (Yahweh), he has also rejected you from
being king” (1 Sam. 15: 23). This applies
today who do not want to do what Jesus requires of them.
They
think that because they have prayed the “sinner’s prayer” that they can ignore
what the Scriptures require and not lose their Salvation. That’s the reason why Jesus warn us in
Revelation 3: 5 that when somebody turns away from Him, they can have their
names blotted out (removed) from the Book of Life. Also: Heb. 6: 1 – 8; 2 Pet. 2: 20 – 22;
Proverbs 26: 11. Jesus aptly warns us,
“Beware of false prophets which come to
you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns or figs from
thistles” (Matt. 7: 15: 16).
SERPENTS,
BROOD OF VIPERS
Why
is it that demonized ones, who are sons of hell, not sons of God, who call
themselves bible believing Christians, who have a form of godliness and deny
its power, who don’t operate in the gifts of the spirit, and improperly judge
others while they preach “Judge not”, character assassinate those who operate
in the gifts of the Spirit and say they are unloving, unkind and full of evil
speaking and quote Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and
evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice, 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. and 1 Peter 2:1
Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil
speaking.
Do
they do these things as they are blind, ignorant, or stupid or just because
they are brood of vipers that Jesus talked about? Matthew 23:33 Serpents, brood
of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell?
They
talk about love and preaching but obviously character assassinating strangers
is not the demonstration of love and is not preaching like Philip the layman
did:
Acts
8:5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. 6
And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing
and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud
voice, came out of many who were possessed; and many who were paralyzed and
lame were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city.
They
say they are believers but obviously deny the words of Jesus Christ who said
about true believers in Mark 16: 15 And He said to them, "Go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is
baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And
these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out
demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if
they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands
on the sick, and they will recover."
19
So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and
sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the
accompanying signs. Amen.
It’s
sad that these so called Christians cannot say what true believers and Apostle
Paul stated:
1
Corinthians 2
1
And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or
of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.
2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him
crucified.
3
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.
4
And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,
5
that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
6
However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this
age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God
ordained before the ages for our glory,
8
which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not
have crucified the Lord of glory.
9
But as it is written: " Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered
into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love
Him."
10
But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all
things, yes, the deep things of God.
11
For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in
him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from
God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13
These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which
the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14
But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually
discerned.
15
But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by
no one.
16
For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?"
But we have the mind of Christ.
It
is a fact that demonized ones, so called bible believing Christians, are not
men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit, faith, power and wisdom, doing
great wonders and signs among the people (Acts 6:3-10). So of course
demonized ones, who are sons of hell, reprobates concerning the faith and men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the
faith (2 Timothy 3:8), don’t want to know or hear the truth about themselves,
and label such talk as hatred, evil speaking, unkind words, etc. Of course they
find the truth about themselves annoying and disturbing and character
assassinate the messenger because they don’t want to admit that they have been
duped, are deceived, are on the way to hell unless they repent and get
deliverance and true salvation and that is why they protest so much just like
their friends the gays and lesbians in the world who are also sons of hell,
sons of disobedience!
