TOPIC: Satanic Miracles

TEXT:  Revelation 16:13-21 (KJV) 
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

KEY VERSE
“For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”
(Revelation 16:14)

DCLM Daily Manna Sunday 3 December 2023 MESSAGE

A witch doctor in Africa, once boasted: “We are having increased patronage from pastors now. Many of them who are performing miracles here and there got powers from us. Once they pay us, we will go to their churches and bury some objects that will enable them to attract worshippers and perform miracles. We sometimes give them objects that will enable them to see into the future”. Whether true or not, what is clear is that Satan also performs miracles.

The passage, like many others in the book of Revelation, describes what will happen shortly to false miracle workers. During the great tribulation – after the rapture of the saints – the angels of God will be commanded to pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon such sinners on earth. After the sixth wrath is released, unclean spirits, which are spirits of the devils, will come out of the mouth of the dragon, the beast and the false prophet. These will gather all their accomplices to wage war against Jesus Christ. They will perform miracles to deceive people.

Great events such as earthquakes never seen before will take place, and islands and mountains will roll away. A great hail will fall upon men and women, forcing them to blaspheme God. Unfortunately, people who will experience this great calamity are those who refuse to repent now, and turn to Jesus. Instead of seeking Jesus, they are the people who are currently running from pillar to post in search of miracles, signs and wonders.

Many of them will fall into the hands of Satan’s disciples who are scattered all over the world today. The false prophet, the dragon and the beast may not be here now, but their forerunners are already here. Be careful where you go to, in search of miracles.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Only the spiritually vigilant will overcome satanic deception.
