With the increase in “miraculous signs and wonders”, it is very easy to get taken in by the hype, and fall victim to the deception of the false teachers that Jesus repeatedly warned would mark the end times. It is essential that we test all things; it would be awful to be handed over to the delusion because we never sought the truth. This is what scripture warns:
2Th 2:9-12 NIV84 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, (10) and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. (11) For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie (12) and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
I urge you to take time to watch or listen to the following 19 sermons, which are linked from the Grace To You website. If you listen to one sermon a day, you will be through the series in less than three weeks! That is time well spent and will bring biblical balance and perspective to this very contentious issue. With an increasing trend towards “experiential Christianity”, many people are basing their faith upon their experiences, rather than upon the word of God. What if those “experiences” are the false signs and wonders we are warned will be coming?
