KNOWING GOD
Signs
Signs
I need to see in order to believe it
I need a tangible pointer from God before I act
I set “fleeces” to help make decisions
I often ask God “please give me a sign”
Everything that happens is a message from God to learn from
If the ‘supernatural’ is happening in a Church I rush to witness it
I pray that God will manifest signs and wonders in my life / Church
I keep away - they’re a manipulation of man/manifestation of the devil
Signs
John 14:11
Believe me when I say
that I am in the Father
and the Father is in me;
or at least believe on the
evidence of the works
themselves.
Signs
Luke 7:20-22
When the men came to Jesus, they said, “John
the Baptist sent us to you to ask, ‘Are you the
one who is to come, or should we expect
someone else?’” At that very time Jesus cured
many who had diseases, sicknesses and evil
spirits, and gave sight to many who were
blind. So he replied to the messengers, “Go
back and report to John what you have seen
and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame
walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the
deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good
news is proclaimed to the poor. Signs
1 Kings 18:36-39
Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I
am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you,
Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the
sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and
also licked up the water in the trench. When all
the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried,
“The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”
