And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should
believe a lie:That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness. (II Thessalonians 2:9-12)These verses indicate that people are deceived through miracles of Satan because they are not
grounded in the truth of the Word of God.
FOR FURTHER STUDY:
- Old Testament Miracles:
- Read the books of Exodus through Deuteronomy. See if you can identify the 26 miracles which
occurred during the time of Moses. - Read the books of I and II Kings. List the 21 miracles which occurred during the time of Elijah
and Elisha.
- New Testament Miracles:
- Study Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. List the miracles performed by Jesus Christ.
- Study the book of Acts. List the miracles God performed through the apostles and others
ministering in the early church. - Read Acts 9:36-41. What miracle is recorded here? What are the results of this miracle (Acts
9:42)? - According to Romans 15:18-19, what was evident in Paul's ministry which caused the Gentiles
to become obedient to God? - Read II Corinthians 12:12. With what other spiritual gift is the gift of miracles associated?
- What are two manifestations of miracles in Acts 19:11-12?
HEALING
But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.For to one is given...the gifts of healing by the same Spirit.
