Men have always had an attraction to, and an affinity for the "supernatural", partially as a means to"try" orto "prove" God,and partially because it's our nature to be drawn to things we don't have ,or can't do ourselves. This is what the Scriptures referred to when it stated "An evil and adulterous generation seketh after a SIGN: and there shall no sign be given to it,but the sign of the Prophet, Jonas"! Matt.12:38. 1 Corinthians 1:22 elaborates upon it with more simplicity "For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews, a Stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks "foolishness". While men, in the latter days continue to look for somebody to perform another "wonder",or for God to send another "sign", the actual "wonder", is a people who still don't believe that He is the Only Begotten Son of God, Who was in the beginning, was the Word, came in the form of a man, died, hung, bled, was buried, went down itnto the very core of "hell", regulated satan, captured the keys made a fool of him on his own territory, stopped by for a last fellowhsip with a few of the disciples, scared them into near parlysis, and ascended back from whence He came, in total triumph, victory, and glory! The "cross" was the "sign", the "blood" that defied gravity, was the wonder, and the "stone that was rolled away, was the lying wonder. In the presence of the eternal Truth, a "lying wonder" can't stand, and it will either self-destruct and crumble, or bow it's knee. THAT STONE" BOWED IT'S KNEE, AND IT IS NOW INCLUDED IN MANY OF OUR GREAT HYMNS THAT TESTIFFY OF GOD'S GRACE AND "WONDER WORKING POWER"! Wherever there's an authentic truth, or sign or wonder, a "lying wonder" won't be far behind, waiting on that opportunity to "deceive the very elect" through imitation, emulation, and deceit. Look carefully around you, because there's a great possibility that there's some form of a "lying wonder" in the vicinity! Better yet, evaluate your "real praise, mdo a "siund chec", and be sure that "you" are not a "lying wonder"! It's difficult to imagine, that after walking and talikng with Christ, in the flesh, and sitting under His instruction and teaching, as the earthly Rabboni, and the Living Rhema, and after having first hand observation of, and participation in the miracles He wrought, of which the Bible says are too numerous to tell, it' is a "wonder", that men are still looking for another wonder", and a "sign" that his return is nearer than when we first believed! It is a "sign",when men can blaspheme the Holy spirit and demonstrate bold irrevernce for the anointing in and upon His vessels, and it is a "wonder" that Christ has not and does not send swift and terrible judgement. Our "pulpits" are swarming with and overtaken by "lying wonders" who wouldn't recognize a "sign" other than that found on the "benjamins", and who still think "wonder" is a brand of bread! When Christ was in those "revivals" of old, where unbelievers, whores, maniacs, numbers runners, gamblers, and pimps, witches, warlocks, and muderers were fighting for a spot on the hard ground in the midst of camel ,and horse manure,with no concern for their silks, linens, or sackcloth, lying wonders were always on the premises or near the parameters. Judas was such a lying wonder, a sign of what the servant of God can expect in these last days because the Bible says that he is the "FATHER" of "lies/lying wonders", which means he's got some lying wonder offspring throughout the earth,, and they've got a "lying wonder Mama" somewhere in existence!. The Bible says " Ye are like your "father", the devil, "LIARS"! As technology,and those things that make up this vast world become more advanced and sophisticated, the cunningness and subtility of the devil, shall ,in like manner, increase, become sharper and more refined, until it will take a consecrated and intensely submitted life to have the discernment to perceive it! The cemeteries filled with the bullet riddled bodies of an entire generation is a "sign", and the fact that our churches are not filled with more fathers, uncles, brothers, nephews,and sons is a "wonder"! The incurable STD"s and other fatal illneses are all signs , that we need to return to the original "wonder" of the blood of the Lamb, calling onthe Name of Jesusand weeping between the porch and the altar! The empty altars when intercessory prayer is called or in session ,is an awesome"sign" of the great falling away, and the "wonder" is the weak showing of street evangelism, and men being dispatched to the a"highways and hedges with a determination to win as many souls to Christ as possible!" Being able to not find more than a handful of Biblical "elders" a whole generation,absent from the house of God,is an absolute "sign" of God's displeasure , and our indifference to the Church of God, and of the enticement and enchantment of His latter day "Bride"! These are the signs and wonders that breed, nurture, and foster "lying wonders" who perform "false miracles", operate under a "false anointing", serve a "false Christ",shout through a "false glory", and teach/preach "false doctrine", while praying "false prayers" and evidencing false humility and generating "false love, peace, and comraderie. The one good thing about these signs, wonders,and lying wonders, is that they affirm that the Truth is very near or already in the house, because this is their polar opposite, and what they gravitate to! The grievous thing is the fact that one need look no further than "to the hills" where one can find the Original SIGN AND WONDER", WHO CAN NEVER BE DUPLICATED, OR REPLICATED, and He has always been the sign hat we seek even when we don't know it,the "Wonder that we need, the Revealer and the Light of the world that exposes and eliminates every "lying wonder"!
