Do you know both, God and His Word?
Matthew 4:3-4 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, ”It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”
You need to know God and His Word which is His Son that was sent to us. You need to know that the devil knows God, and speaks with Him, but when the devil is talking, he is lying and trying to see who he can kill and destroy. There are a lot of people, the only reason they speak to you is to find out what they can hold against you, so they can manipulate you. They will be the sweetest person you ever met, and the whole time they are using your own words to hang you.
If you know God and His Word, who is Jesus Christ. You will be able to follow Jesus’ example as He walked this earth, and you will know the tempter when he comes to you and ask you to turn stones to bread to prove yourself to him.
If you do not know God and His Word (Jesus), The devil will have you doing miracles in Jesus name for him. And when Jesus returns and you say, “We have done so many miracles in your name!” And God will say, “I never knew you.”
When people come to you and they want you to prove the God in your life to them, and they do not recognize your fruits, you might want to keep that miracle for another.
Do you know the Bible? So does the devil, but he does not believe in the Power in Jesus name.
Do you know God and His Word (Jesus)? Or are you making bread for the devil?
I know that the Devil is the father of deceit. But what sort of miracles does he trick us into doing for him? Is there an example you could cite? I’ve looked through the Bible, and I thought immediately of Satan’s tempting of Christ (telling him to turn rocks to bread, telling him to jump off a roof and let angels catch him). Is that the sort of miracle you’re talking about? Or is it like you and a group of people building a church and using it for personal gain (this example I thought up, thinking it might be in that vein). I’m just a little foggy here.
The example is in the miracle that Jesus did not do. Jesus did not use God’s power to bring attention to Himself. That is not the reason any of us should use God’s power. The miracles that happened in Jesus presence for example. The woman that had the issue of blood that touched His garment and became well, Jesus let her know right away that, it was her faith that made her well. He let her know that it was her faith, her trust, her belief in Him that is what brought her miracle about. And each miracle He did perform, contrary to what some say, was not done so He could show off God’s power. It was God that got the glory, and the people that knew the people that were healed, believed that they were healed. But the miracle was never done so Jesus could say, “See what I can do.” The miracles that were done, the people that received them could say, I knew, I believed, and I trusted, and He rewards those that do.
Our miracles in life are from the faith, trust, believing, and knowing that He is God and He rewards those that diligently seek Him.
It should not be the miracles that make us believe, but our belief should make the miracles.
This world has us believing it is the signs that we see before that lead us to our destination, but God say’s it is the signs following our belief that are the ones we should trust in.
Jimmy, you may be in a main artery, not a vein, they come after the heart, for example; just like signs following, come after the believing.
