There are also counterfeit healings and miracles done by the devil
to deceive the people. Here we cite a few miracles done through evil
agents:
Signs and lying wonders. 2 Thessalonians 2:9
Spirits of devils working miracles. Revelation 16:14
Signs or wonders in support of false religion. Deuteronomy 13:1-5
Great signs and wonders by false Christs. Matthew 24:24
Miracles wrought by false prophets. Revelation 19:20
Signs and wonders by false prophets. Matthew 24:24
Power to make fire come down from heaven. Revelation 13:13

Simon the sorcerer bewitched the people. Acts 8:9-24
Let us as children of God learn to try the spirits, that we be not
deceived and seek our help in times of sickness or other needs, from
God alone. Read 1 John 4:1, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but
try the spirits whether they be of God: because MANY FALSE PROPHETS
have gone out into the world." Yes, today the religious world is
filled with false prophets who are going about working all kinds of
miracles, and deceiving the people. It is alarming to see how even
the true saints of God will run after these and believe in their
works. We often hear this remark, "but they are doing such mighty
healings, etc., SURELY they are of God." Again I warn you, TRY THE
SPIRITS--whether they be of God--yes, try them by God's own word.
The doctrine they teach, and the lives they live will soon tell
whether they are of God. But let us not cast away our confidence in
God because of the workings of these "false prophets" but let us
plant our spiritual feet on the ETERNAL ROCK OF DIVINE TRUTH, and
move forward in a life of faith, laying hold of the great and
precious promises of God and looking definitely to Him in confidence
for the full supply of all our needs. Remember, "Prayer changes
things" and "Jesus NEVER fails." Thank God for the wonderful
privilege we do have of having our lives enriched by this personal
contact with the Heavenly Father, and by obedience and faith
receiving the things we have need of.
In closing I earnestly pray that the experiences and testimonies
given here may be an inspiration and a blessing to all who read
them, and that the faith of many may be lifted up and strengthened.
The God we serve is the LIVING God, He is loving, compassionate,
tender, all wise, and He desires the very best for His children. He
has even promised that "the DESIRE of the righteous shall be
granted," Proverbs 10:24. Praise God! When we are truly His, living
in vital touch with Him, our desires are purified and we want only
what could be pleasing to Him, and then not one thing can hinder our
getting prayer through. Let us love Him sincerely, live definitely
for His glory, and go forth in the world shining out before others,
with the blessed uplifting influence of "answered prayer" thrilling
our hearts, and making us an inspiration and blessing to others.
Amen.
'Tis true, oh, yes, 'tis true
God's wonderful promise is true;
For I've trusted, and tested, and tried it,
And I know God's promise is true.
THE END
