For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
Matthew 24:24
The body of Christ is overcome with the fear of deception… to the point they call the Holy Ghost an agent of satan and His works evil! We have been abnormal for so long that a return to biblical Christianity (normal) is dangerous and “evil”, scorned mocked and something to dismiss. This should not be so. Let’s look at this reasonably.
A man in our congregation got up out of his wheelchair and walked last week, after 38 years of confinement. We give all glory to God for this!
Ken was talking to someone about it and the man actually said, “Well you know… satan can do miracles too.”
I’ve even had people ask me with regards to my healing, “How do you know that was God?”
WHAT?
First of all – I’m not aware of any verse in the Book that talks about satan’s ability to heal. I don’t see that as a possibility when it comes to a creative miracle like this. But let’s suppose for the sake of argument that this is a miracle he is capable of pulling off.
For false christs and false prophets…
Therein lies the first clue. For FALSE christs (that would be a person or demon that exalts themselves AS THE SAVIOR and seeks to divert worship from Christ) and false prophets (that would be a person who deliberately prophesies lies for the express purpose of turning people from God) … Is Jesus a false Christ? Is He a false prophet? Or did He speak truly that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life? Was He false when He promised salvation, healing, and deliverance to His children? God does not lie.
…will rise and show great signs and wonders…
Therein lies the second clue. Yes – people prayed for Barry in obedience to the Lord and the way He chooses to heal – but no one has “risen” to show great signs and wonders that “prove” that they are the Christ or a prophet.
…to deceive, if possible, even the elect.
To deceive. The POINT of lying signs and wonders is to deceive. It’s to draw the elect away from Christ. It’s to cause people to give glory and praise to that which is false.
Guess what, brethren? satan does not come along and heal God’s people in such a way that they stand and shout praises to Jesus Christ and go around telling people what God did for them. IF satan heals it will be for his own glory and gain… not for God’s.
Do not doubt a miracle that brings glory to the Savior… He’s in the miracle-working business.
