Today, many are driven to Christ through signs and wonders (i.e., Miracles) performed in the hands of the ministers of the gospel, and many more will still be won over as they see and believe. But when this demonstrations are not checked, it could be used in leading many not founded in the truth away from Christ.
So then, through signs and wonders many will be believe, and be moved either towards Christ Jesus or seduced away to the Deceiver.
Back to the story of the "certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum", which Jesus gave His Word, who went home to find out and the scriptures said; "So the father KNEW THAT IT WAS AT THE SAME HOUR, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: AND HIMSELF BELIEVED, AND HIS WHOLE HOUSE." (vs 53).
~ Your faith, is it now in the Truth or in miracles?
The Word of Jesus (the truth) the man received brought the Miracle, which is the sign and the wonderful healing that followed, that led him and his whole house believing IN Jesus Christ. [CAUTION: DO YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS FOR A MIRACLE, OR DO YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS BECAUSE OF THE MIRACLE?]. And if by now you don't know Jesus Christ as the Messiah and Saviour, The miracle giver, you directly fall under the category of people that will be led astray or seduced.
...and when these miracles are real.
"For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, TO SEDUCE, if it were possible, even the elect." (Mar 13:22).
This scripture clearly seem to suggest that the deceiver has access to some powers which he will use in his SEDUCTION. Their words and spirits are able to perform legitimate miracles (signs and wonders) in order to lure many over to the devil. And this is what will always happen when people are seeking for a saviour other than Jesus and His Word.
Miracles.
At these end of days, there are many things the Bible warned against, and one of such is "the great deception of SEDUCTION through miracles". If we fail to search the scriptures to know the Truth to escape being deceived, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. Everything truth is in the scriptures, right at the very surface. It's just that many are not paying their due diligence to very delicate issues like this one...
"Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices." (2Co 2:11). Definitely, we are not ignorant of the deceiver's devices on similar issue like love: the Love that is IN Christ Jesus (Agape Love), and not the nonsense the false Christs and Prophets are spreading today.
