Signs and wonders are to be sought after by Christians...
"A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign..."
Matthew 16:4a
So many today are running here and there chasing what they believe to be the presence of God, as demonstrated and confirmed by signs and wonders. People want all the excitment and emotion associated with these events, yet have NO desire to seek holiness or take up the cross and be a disciple of Jesus.
Undiscerning christians are seeking after confirmation that they're on the 'right path' and Satan is right there to give them signs and wonders. They rush forward to be 'slain in the spirit', have hands laid on them, be prayed over, have an impartation given them, or whatever the latest thing is and this never results in the person being drawn closer to The Lord, nor does it bring forth godly fruit.(usually it leads to the person moving away from God, as their focus becomes centered on chasing after the feeling and emotions of the counterfeit signs and wonders...)
Am I suggesting that God doesn't confirm His Word with signs and wonders? NO, I'm not. I'm saying that according to His Word He desires followers who will obey Him, walk in fellowship with Him, spend time in His Word being taught by The Holy Spirit what He requires of us.
“But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us,”
