LOL Yes, yes , yes, yes and finally yes. Remember we do not wrestle against the things seen but the unseen works of the father of lies in rebellion to the unsen work of God
Ultimately in the end of the matter its how we view faith (the unseen spirit world ) as to where it comes from and how it works in us.
Natural unconverted man has
no faith .Not little faith
but none in respect to Christianity.
We do not generate our own faith by something we perform and call that the filling of the Holy Spirit. The faith of Christ as that which alone comes from hearing God.... it as it is written leads us not follows after something one can perform .We have a living Hope .In that way who hopes for something we already have
Signs follow
after the unseen working of spiritual gifts of God not seen, the Holy Spirit. They never lead. That would be the work of the father of lies which began in the garden when he used a creation seen, to lead mankind to death . no faith in God coming from God not seen
2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is
after the "working of Satan" with
all power and signs and
lying wonders,
God sends those who have
no faith coming from His living abiding word a strong delusion so that they can keep on believing the lie.
A person cannot provide their own wonder as a true as a indication of faith working as that not coming from all thing written in the law and the prophets. (sola scriptura)
Again certain sign follow after not lead.
They shall take up
serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.Mark 16:18
Taking up the work of false prophets as false prophecy identified with Satan as poison . It will not effect those who walk by the faith that again exclusives come form hearing God through the scripture as the hearing of His faith. They as a sign God not their own selves show working in them they can heal the sick who have not the gospel working in them .
God is not served by human hands in any way shape or from . No outward sign as something we perform required to believe God .
Can't believe God unless he first fills mankind (no faith) with His Holy Spirit the faith of Christ by which we can faith in Christ
They are not something we are required to seek after as sign and wonder with a wonder being a faith principle before ones believes they are filled with the Holy Spirit. (self edification as in false pride)
The unbelieving (no faith) Jew required a sign before they would commit faith. When God spoke to his believing people that did have faith in other languages other than Hebrew alone it was a sign against the sign seeker who had not faith to believe God.
The wonder they created provided there own source of faith not coming from the faith of God not seen., self edification, self veneration, self righteousness. The pride before the fall .
Those who have "no faith" made God out to be a circus seal. They demand show us something work a miracle and then we will beleive .
John 6:30They said therefore unto him, What
sign shewest thou then, that
we may see, and
believe thee? what dost thou work?
Jesus confirmed their unbelief (no faith) as a sign against them >
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see
signs and wonders, ye will
not
believe.
Two kinds of wonder that produce faith . Wonders that follow after. as a work from God. And lying wonders as a work of Satan that lead a person away from God.
