And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Mark 16:17)
When you start talking about signs and wonders you start getting a lot of blow-back. Many Christian denominations believe that signs and wonders passed away when all the Apostles died. Is that true based on the Word of God? If we have ever needed miracles, signs, and wonders, we need them now! Check out these scriptures:
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many
days hence. (Acts 1:4-5)
For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is for you and your children and for all who are far away [including the Gentiles], as many as the Lord our God calls to Himself.” (Acts 2:39)
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. (1 Corinthians 12:1)
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (1 Corinthians 12:7-12)
When you see and experience a demonstration of His power you will never forget it. When you see a person healed you will never forget it. When you see a person saved and their entire family changed you will never forget it. We still need signs and wonders and they have not passed away.
