Although people have always been drawn to the supernatural spiritual realm, in recent years, there has been a significant increase of interest in the supernatural and how to walk in the supernatural. More and more people open themselves for supernatural powers and (生活)活力. They enter the spiritual realm by themselves; from their soul (肉) in order to walk in the supernatural. Many people go to events and seminars, where supernatural manifestations and healings take place. They receive information and learn the technics, 方法, and formula’s so that they can do the same. This does not only happen in the world, but also in many churches.
Follow preachers, who walk in the supernatural
Many believers are carnal. They’re carnally minded, think like the world and live after the flesh, 就像世界一样. They are led by their senses and have, 就像世界一样, a huge interest in the supernatural. They are focused upon signs, 奇迹, and spiritual manifestations. And because they are sense ruled, they are led by signs and wonders.
Many blindly follow (著名的) 传教士, 使徒, evangelist and/or prophets, who do great signs and wonders and they feed themselves with their words and supernatural experiences, without knowing them personally and without knowing their lives.
There are many (well-known) 传教士, 使徒, 传福音者, and prophets, who do great signs and wonders, while they live after the flesh and live just like the world.
They do and approve those things, which go against 上帝的旨意.
They bear the fruit of the flesh and are friends with the world. 这怎么可能?
你会认为, since they do great signs and wonders and supernatural manifestations take place and they use the 耶稣的名字, that this proves, that they are 重生 and are spiritual and therefore they do the things out of God. But do you have to be born again to walk in the supernatural and perform signs and wonders?
The old man can also perform miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹
答案是: 不! You don’t have to be born again to walk in the supernatural and perform miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹. 这里有很多人, who are still the old man and live after the flesh but are very spiritual. They move in the supernatural; the spiritual realm and perform great miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹. 所以, you don’t have to be born again and 跟从耶稣 to walk in the supernatural and perform miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹.
Look at the magicians from Egypt, in Moses’ time, who also performed signs and wonders, while they didn’t know God and didn’t belong to Him (出埃及记 7 EN 8).
Simon the sorcerer also performed great signs and wonders among the people. The people even called him the impersonated power of God, while his magical arts didn’t derive from God and His Kingdom, but from the devil and the kingdom of darkness (使徒行传 8:9-11). Even the sorcerer Bar-Jesus (Elymas), who practiced magical arts and was a Jewish false prophet was not a child of God but a child of the devil. He was an enemy of righteousness and perverted the ways of the Lord (使徒行传 13:6-11).
Saul went to a woman, who had a familiar spirit and operated in the spiritual realm. She divined unto Saul, by the familiar spirit and brought up Samuel to inquire him (1 山姆 28:3 20). And there were many more people, who possessed a familiar spirit and operated in the supernatural; 这 精神境界 and revealed those things, which were hidden (IE. 2 国王 17:17, 耶利米 14:14, 以西结 13:6-7; 21:21-23, 使徒行传 16: 16).
There were many prophets, who seemed godly and stood in the eyes of man in God’s service, but prophesied after their own insights out of their flesh; their soul (their feelings and will), instead of God and His Spirit and therefore the falsely prophesied (IE. 1 国王 22, 2 编年史 18, 耶利米 27:9, 28 和 29, 耶利米哀歌 2, 以西结 13: 17-23, 22:28. 另请阅读: 'How do you recognize false prophets in our age?’).
Unbelievers, who walk in the supernatural
And nothing has really changed, because in our age there are still many people, who are not born again but operate in the supernatural; the spiritual realm. Take for example witches, psychics, fortune tellers (假先知), 萨满, witch doctors, 魔术师, illusionists, wizards, spiritual yogis, 窃窃私语者, ghost charmers, hypnotists, magnetizers, paranormal healers, who use quantum touch, 重新连接愈合, reiki, 针刺, aura healing, self-healing and so on.
All these people are not born again. But they possess devilish 神秘的 powers or occult (生活)energy to perform miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹. They enter the spiritual realm out of their soul (肉), by using natural techniques and methods and open themselves for evil powers.
They exchange their soul for supernatural insights and wisdom, coming from spirit guides, and for supernatural powers and forces, that result in an increase of worldly wisdom, and by performing miracles, 迹象, 和奇迹, including psychical and mental healings.
Take for example reconnection or reconnective healing, which is very popular among people nowadays and spread rapidly around the world. Everyone can learn how to use reconnective energy and become a reconnective healer by applying certain methods and technics. This way of healing gets a lot of results; many people are being healed through reconnective healing. But everything, that is done by the flesh is not from and out of God. Everything that is done out of the flesh; the soul in the supernatural; the spiritual realm is occult.
那些, who get involved with these occult practices, even when some of these forms of alternative medicine are accepted, approved and offered in the western world and medical science as a way of healing, shall experience the influence of evil demonic spirits in their lives and will reap the fruits thereof.
记住, that in the new age movement, which has its roots in the occult, there is a strong emphasis on healing and their agenda is to incorporate alternative healing methods and the spiritual into medical science (另请阅读: '教会的新时代’).
Jesus warned His disciples for false Christs and prophets
因为必有假基督出现, 和假先知, 并要显明伟大的神迹奇事; 因此，鉴于, 如果可能的话, 他们要欺骗选民. 看哪, I have told you before (马修 24:24-25, 标记 13:21-23)
Jesus warned His disciples for false Christs 和 假先知, who would perform great signs and wonders in the end time and if it were possible, would deceive the very elect. Jesus instructed them to not be focused upon the signs and wonders of a person. Because if they would be focused upon signs and wonders, they could easily be led astray from the true gospel.
Jesus told them, to look at the person’s life and what fruit the person bears. Does the person live after the spirit and after the 神的旨意, which is written in the Word and does the person bear the 圣灵的果子? Or is the person carnal and lives after the flesh? Does the person live after his/her own will and insights and the will of the world? And bears the fruit of the flesh? (马修 7:15-20)
John instructed to not believe and trust every spirit. But he instructed to prove and test the spirits, whether they are of God. Because many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 约翰 4:1).
所以, don’t be focused upon signs and wonders, but be focused upon Jesus Christ; the Author and Finisher of your faith.
If you are born again and have laid down your own life and 跟从耶稣, then you will no longer be focused upon signs and wonders and upon people, who do great signs and wonders and allow people to honor and exalt them. But you shall be focused upon the Word.
From your personal relationship with Jesus you shall live after His will. This means that you shall walk in obedience to Him and do 他的诫命 在你的生活中. If you live after the spirit and after the Word and the Holy Spirit, then the signs and wonders shall follow you.
When the signs and wonders are done by the power of God and out of the spirit, then these will testify of Jesus Christ and exalt Jesus and give glory to the Father, instead of yourself.
