Miracles & the Holy Spirit THE oly HS P I R I T Miracles & the Holy Spirit “How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard, God also bearing witness with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will” (Hebrews 2:3, 4). iracles are an important part of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Scriptures indicate that the Father used the Holy Spirit as the agent through whom He performed miracles (Hebrews 2:3, 4). Through the miraculous activities of the Spirit, God testified that the men speaking were His men (Mark 16:20). Thus, through the Spirit, He presented, confirmed, and preserved His Word. M MIRACLES WILL NOT BE REPEATED What God has proved through a miraculous act, He does not need to prove again by repeating the miracle. Through creation God once and for all times presented evidence of His existence and His nature (Romans 1:20). God has displayed the majesty of His power in the expanse of the starry heavens (Psalm 19:1) and the greatness of His creative genius in the almost numberless forms of life on our planet. Since the days of creation, all that is needed to prove God’s power and nature is contained in what He created. Early in human history, polytheistic religions manufactured many gods, creating a need for proof that there is one God and proof as to who that one God is. God chose to prove Himself in Egypt, a country filled with false gods. In a setting infested by a multiplicity of gods, the pharaoh of Egypt asked, “Who is the Lord that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?” (Exodus 5:2a). In response, God displayed His majesty and power over the gods of the Egyptians through miraculous acts. He demonstrated that He alone is God. He said, “. and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am the Lord” (Exodus 12:12). Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law, drew the correct conclusion concerning God’s miracles in delivering Israel from Egyptian slavery. He said, “Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods; indeed, it was proven when they dealt proudly against the people” (Exodus 18:11). God did not need to prove to each succeeding generation that He is the only God. He told Moses that He would perform signs in Egypt, “that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a mockery of the Egyptians, and how I performed My signs among them; that you may know that I am the Lord” (Exodus 10:2). God would not repeat the miracles He performed 1 in Egypt for Israel’s sons or grandsons to show Likewise, those who saw Jesus perform signs them that He had power above the gods of the recorded them so that future generations might Egyptians. The generation who saw these signs believe (John 20:30, 31). We learn of His life, was to tell them to following generations so that miracles, death, burial, and resurrection through they could accept God as the one and only true the written Word. The events will not be re- God. peated. Years later, Gideon asked, “. if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? MIRACLES HAD And where are all His miracles which our fathers A SPECIFIC PURPOSE told us about, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us Jesus sometimes performed miracles out of up from Egypt? . .’” (Judges 6:13). His question compassion for people (Matthew 9:36; 14:14; is evidence that (1) miracles like those which 15:32; 20:34). However, every miracle beginning delivered Israel from Egypt were no longer be- with the Creation has had the same main pur- ing performed and (2) later generations were pose behind it. being told about those miracles. 1. The purpose of the magnificence of cre- JESUS REMAINS THE SAME Some religious groups expect continuing signs and wonders today because of the statement “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today, yes and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). This conclusion cannot be correct; for this passage is not discussing miracles, but rather the providential and steadfast care of God for His people (Hebrews 13:5, 6). Further, the passage cannot be teaching that all aspects of Jesus’ existence or activities have been, are, and always will be the same. Jesus has not always been the same in every sense; for example, He existed in a spirit form before He came to earth and took on a human body (John 1:14; Hebrews 10:5c), and then He returned to His original nature when He ascended to the Father (John 17:5). Jesus is not here on earth in person now, nor will He come again in person to perform miracles so that we can believe that He is the Son of God. The signs and wonders He did while on earth were for that purpose and have been recorded so that we can believe (John 20:30, 31). Likewise, His redemptive death on the cross is not an ongoing act, but was once and for all times accomplished and never will be repeated (Hebrews 1:3; 7:27; 9:12, 24–26; 10:12–14). Neither have Jesus’ activities outside the flesh always been the same. He created everything (John 1:3; Colossians 1:16) in six days (Genesis 2:2; Exodus 20:11), a finished act that has not been repeated so far as we know. Through the miracle of creation, Jesus has proved to mankind His existence and glory (Romans 1:19, 20; Psalm 19:1; John 1:1–3). Inasmuch as He has revealed all truth (John 14:26; 16:13; Jude 3)—which needs neither to be added to nor changed (Galatians 1:8, 9; Revelation 22:18, 19)—He is not continuing to reveal new truth. Jesus remains consistent in His personality and His care for us, but this does not mean that He will create new worlds, die again for our sins, be resurrected or walk on water again, feed more multitudes with a few loaves and fish, or repeat any of His great miracles so that we can believe in Him. Our belief is not to be based on seeing signs. If we do not see and yet believe God’s written testimony, we are blessed (see John 20:29b). His miracles were performed and recorded so that succeeding generations, including us, might believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God (John 20:30, 31). Through Peter, God gave testimony on Pentecost that He had approved of Jesus “with miracles and wonders and signs” (Acts 2:22). Those who do not believe in Jesus doubt God’s witness concerning Jesus: “. the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the witness that God has borne concerning His Son” (1 John 5:10; emphasis mine). This verse does not refer to the witness God “is bearing” as though God continues to bear witness. Rather, it says “has borne” (Gk.: memartureken, a perfect, indicative, active verb), indicating that the action has been completed but has continuing results. The verb implies that God has completed giving His witness concerning Jesus, but that this witness still exists in order to produce faith. The faith that continues to be produced because of God’s past witness through the miracles of Jesus has ongoing results through the written record of His works (John 20:30, 31). 2 ation was to prove the existence of God (Romans and fear Him; and you shall keep His com- mandments, listen to His voice, serve Him, and 1:20). cling to Him.

There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” …. On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied (Acts 19:1-6). Ephesians 1:13-14 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory. 2. There are seasons where God does special miracles. God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them (Acts 19:11-12) Hebrews 2:3-4 This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him. God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. 2 Corinthians 12:12 I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles. 2 Timothy 4:20 Erastus stayed in Corinth, and I left Trophimus sick in Miletus.

By the end of St. Paul’s third missionary journey to Ephesus, Luke could write that “all the inhabitants of the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord, Jews and Greeks alike” (Acts 19: 10).

    Investigating the Word of God Acts Artist’s Depiction of the Apostle Paul Preaching at the Areopagus in Athens Gene Taylor © Gene Taylor, 2007. All Rights Reserved All lessons are based on the New King James Version, © Thomas Nelson, Inc. An Introduction to Acts The Author There are no serious doubts as to the authorship of the book of Acts of the Apostles. Luke is assigned as its author. As early as the last part of the 2nd century, Irenaeus cites passages so frequently from the Acts of the Apostles that it is certain that he had constant access to the book. He gives emphasis to the internal evidence of its authorship. Tertullian also ascribes the book to Luke, as does Clement of Alexandria. That Luke is the author of the book of Acts is evident from the following. ! The Preface of the Book. The writer addresses Theophilus (Luke 1:3), who is the same individual to whom the gospel of Luke was also directed, and makes reference to a “former treatise” which dealt with “all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was received up” (1:1-2). This is very evidently a reference to the third gospel. ! The book of Acts and the gospel of Luke are identical in style, as a number of scholars have pointed out and demonstrated. ! The book of Acts comes as an historical sequel to the gospel of Luke, taking up with the very events, and at the point where the gospel of Luke concludes, namely the resurrection, the appearances following the resurrection, and the commissioning of the Apostles to the task for which they had been selected and trained by the Lord, and the ascension of Jesus.

Beloved friends, welcome to today’s broadcast. I implore you to please listen attentively. The entrance of the Word of GOD in the heart gives light. The title of our message today is, Who Are You? Our text is from Acts 19:11-20. Acts 19:11-20 11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. 13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.” 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so. 15 And the evil spirit answered and said, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17 This became known both to all Jews and Greeks dwelling in Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
