Use Of Physical Objects For Miracles Destroys Faith In God
Text: 2 Chronicles 25: 14 – 16
Friday April 12th
Key verse: 2 Chronicles 25:2 “And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.”
The use of physical substances for miracles destroys faith in the spiritual, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Aprons and handkerchiefs were taken from Paul but not from Peter or John. Not even from Jesus during His earthly ministry. The Holy Ghost manifested this in Paul’s ministry for a period to cause people to believe in Christ. That was all; it did not repeat the second time. Now if this is so, was Timothy who walked closely with Paul as a son to him distributing handkerchiefs or aprons? No, because he will not turn that unique manifestation to become the normal way of receiving miracles.
Ministers today use handkerchiefs and aprons and are tell their members that it will do miracles. Where did they get that teaching? From one witness thou shalt not establish a matter, from the mouth of two or three witnesses. Apart from Paul who again used handkerchief and apron that you now stand upon it as a rule. Why don’t you also gather your members before the sea and say members we are crossing this sea. I am going to tell God to divide it. Why not do that if it is a normal thing? The devil motivated that, not the spirit of Christ because that is not the normal way. “He that enters not through the door but cometh the other way into the house, the same is a thief and a robber.” The sheep will never hear him; he is a thief and a robber.
So, those that promote and distribute anointed handkerchiefs and aprons, do not do so by the Spirit of God because they don’t have the Bible as their authority. But these handkerchiefs and aprons work miracles? They can work miracles because it is not only God that works miracles. When God sent Moses to Egypt and told him to throw down his rod to become a serpent, there were people in Egypt that also threw their rods down and they became serpents. So, the fact that these aprons and handkerchiefs work miracles does not mean that they are from God. It depends on which spirit works the miracles. If it is of Christ, it should be based on scripture.
