Miracles, healings, casting out demons, signs & wonders are an amazing display of God’s love and mercy. They are giftings (not earned and given without repentance) that follow those that believe.
While every disciple of Jesus is a believer, not everyone that believes is a disciple. How can I say that? Demons believe. Actually, they don’t just believe, they know.
The scripture tells us how we will be known as disciples of Jesus and children of God – neither have to do with casting out demons, miracles, healing, signs and wonders.
Those are all things God does, but God wants us to focus on a more excellent way (1 Corinthians 12-13); WHO HE IS.
Love!
