Signs and wonders, these miraculous occurrences always point to a warning, instruction, or encouragement from God.
All signs and wonders that have any credibility will show us a message or miracle from God and will shine light on Jesus.
A warning is not usually well-received, but it should be. A warning is as much God’s grace as a blessing. Amen!
God sends us warnings to get us back on track, back on His path. Today’s world has many voices and opinions that are jockeying for our attention and influencing our choices.
Life choices have life consequences and God’s main goal is that we would all follow His Son Jesus and enjoy eternal life, which is why He sent Him.
If we look closely, Jesus is an example and a warning. He sets the example of freedom from sin by His walk, talk, and physical reactions to situations.
He sets an example of bondage or a warning by telling us what fear and conforming to this world will produce. Don’t conform to this world is a definite warning.
Romans 12:2 urges us in this warning, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Amen!
So there is a pattern of this world and a pattern in heaven. Let’s let Jesus be our pattern of eternal encouragement and a sign of our future in heaven, with Him.
As we continually renew our mind with the word of God, we instill a warning system that if followed will produce for us a wondrous victory.
The Bible in Proverbs 16:25 gives us a stark warning if we fail to follow the pattern of heaven, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.” Let us heed this warning and overcome this worldly pattern by clinging to the Truth. Amen!
As we open up our hearts and minds to the wonder of God’s instruction, we become imitators of God and open to the signs of the Holy Spirit. By the Spirit’s leading, we become catalysts of God’s spiritual universe.
A catalyst would be someone who speeds significant change, by definition.
Glory to God! You talk about a game-changer. At this point, we truly become world changers, and we can start this change, right smack dab in the middle of our families and circle of friends.
2 Corinthians 5:17 talks about creation changers, you and I are called to change creation, starting with ourselves! Amen! It says, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here”!
Did we miss the greatest sign and wonder we will ever experience? When we received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we re-created creation! Wow!
No wonder all creation is waiting for the sons of God to be identified, we are creation changers. Amen!
As we are instructed by the Word of God we see the miracle of salvation. Embrace it!
The encouragement of reading the preceding words of this blog is a sign and wonder from God. God is the great Encourager and by our operation, according to His pattern, we become gift-givers.
Gift-givers operate in the gift God gives them. When we all have a unity of the faith and operate in the Gifts of the Spirit we see signs, wonders, and miracles more commonly.
Don’t look at the word common as diminishing the Gifts; it actually becomes the community in which the Holy Spirit can work through His people to help lift them up as well as love one another.
We should be seeing signs and wonders, frequently, and as we heed the warnings from God and cling to the instructions from God, we will bask in the encouragement of God. Glory!
As awe comes on every soul, many wonders and signs will be done through us! That is Acts 2:43, paraphrased.
Let’s choose to reverently submit to the Word of God, Jesus did!
Herein lays the proof of the enlightenment. Hebrews 5:7 says, “During the days of Jesus life on earth, He offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the One who could save Him from death, and He was heard because of His…..Reverent Submission.”

The created world itself can hardly wait for what’s coming next. Everything in creation is being more or less held back. God reins it in until both creation and all creatures are ready and can be released at the same moment into the glorious times ahead. Meanwhile the joyful anticipation deepens.” Amen!
