Dynamics Of Signs And Wonders

I know that by now many of us are ready as sons and daughters to be sent to go into the world to preach the gospel of faith

Scripture Reading 

Luke 24:44–49 KJV

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.  

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:  

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.  

And ye are witnesses of these things.  

And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

But without the anointing and without signs and wonders, miracles and mighty deeds;

1. People will take you for granted; Acts 8:4-8¹ teaches us that Samaria gave heed to Philip because they heard and saw the signs and wonders which God worked through him.
2. The faith of your hearers will have no roots and foundations; When the preaching of the Word comes with signs and miracles, the faith of your hearers gain roots. (1 Corinthians 2:4²)
3. You cannot establish sons and daughters; signs and wonders and miracles establish sons and daughters. (2 kings 6)

What are signs and wonders? Mark 16:14-20³ gives us a description of what constitutes a sign or wonder. To cast out devils, to speak with new tongues, to lay hands on the sick for recovery, to be delivered from deadly poison and serpent. These are the signs that must follow us as we preach. These are the tangible proofs that people have believed.

These signs are ministered and worked by the Lord through the hearing of faith (Galatians 3:5⁴) That is how miracles and sign happen. (See Acts 19:11-22⁵, Romans 15:19⁶)

It is God who ministers the signs and wonders but how does He do it? He ministers the spirit and works miracles among us by the hearing of faith.

Do you want the Holy Ghost?  Do you need a miracle? Then continue in the hearing of faith.

Every church you plant will grow but growth comes through the mighty Acts of the Holy Spirit. You need to tarry for the enduement of power from on high. Luke 24: 44-49.

Stay blessed; I love you!

1. Acts 8:4-8 (KJV): Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. And there was great joy in that city. ↩︎
2. 1 Corinthians 2:4 (KJV): And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: ↩︎
3. Mark 16:14-20 (KJV): Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. ↩︎
4. Galatians 3:5 (KJV): He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? ↩︎
5. Acts 19:11-22 (KJV): And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed. After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome. So he sent into Macedonia two of them that ministered unto him, Timotheus and Erastus; but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. ↩︎
