Do people 'today' receive any physical manifestations of signs or wonders from God?Not that they ask, just that they receive it.Thanks.
Sure. Everytime you resist the devil it is a manifestation of the wonders of God. Every time you're tempted to sin and are able, by the grace of God, to overcome and remain obedient you have experienced the wonders of God.

God bless

Blessings,

What do you mean? I understand about seeing signs and wonders in answer to prayers but do you mean just something happens and one knows it's of God even though they were not looking or asking for any sign? Just trying to understand your question.

To me the wonders of nature are wonders of God. The other month I was coming home around 1:00 a.m. and I looked in the sky and the moon was a transparent red. Shocked me stupid.:eek: I had to blink a few times for real. (had me thinking of Revelation 6:12 "I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the wholemoon turned blood red," I went into the grocery store and when I cam out the moon was white again. Had me :scratch:

I found out later from searching the net that the moon was red that night and it was some phenomena that occurred. It only lasted a few minutes. To me that was a sign of God for sure. Red moons do not happen every day.

Do things like happened to Paul on the Damascus Road ; or Like Philip being picked up and put down 30-40 miles down the road ;Like Moses and Elijiah appearing on the mount of glorification ; or like Mary and kids at Fatima ... yes , still do

Many missionaries speak of Jesus appearing to Moslem ministers and the minister and the entire flock coverting to Christianity , as a result [ fruit is consistant with vision ].

Or a lone minister being stalked by robbers who leave him alone for there are 12 angels guarding him [ later found out that 12 people were in intercessory prayer for him at that exact time ].

Or Missionaries [ apostle by call , on the front lines ] laying hands on the sick and large growths on the neck or body - disappearing ; or a barren woman becoming pregnant [ 2 common curses " goiter's " or a barren womb ].

Many miracles , signs , and wonders are words of knowledge or wisdom we give credit to science for : technology , medicine , computers , radio , tv , planes , etc. God sent to some one a " word " that they might find a cure for leprosy , polio , vd , etc. for we the body of Christ prayed and asked Him for one [ Ps 119.5 NAB " I asked , He heard, done deal ]

Some things that occur each day are signs , and wonders .... favor with our boss when we mess up or are not billable some times ; forgetting our keys and missing a delay due to accident ; remembering some thing we need on the way out the door ;
finding a lost item , answered prayers : surgery , sickness , bondage, addiction ...

God is there all day , every day : 24 / 7 / 365 willing and able , if we but ask , give thanks , and allow him to be part of our day - Psalm 150 , 139 , 103

The bible calls for men and women to seek a Wondrous God (Mat 6:33; Psa 105:4; Psa 78:32).

The God-Man, Jesus Christ, declared that it was a evil generation that seeks a sign. (Mt 12:39). Jesus warned that false Christs and false prophets would show signs and wonders and warned against being seduced by these (Mark 13:22).

A great wonder of God is that He stooped to visit evil men and women at all and that He provided redemption through the cross of Jesus Christ (Psa 8:3-4; Philippians 2:8; Romans 5:8). God's continuing wonder is the work of the Holy Spirit in the New Birth and regeneration (John 3:1-21).

Mankind has not evolved into a better state. If anything, man's cruelty to man has increased as men and women have departed from the fear of the LORD and wisdom. Cruelties and even genocides have been common in recent history. Mankind has emerged into greater forgetfulness of history and greater ignorance of a Wondrous God and the Wondrous Works that He has already done (Psa 40:5).

Early in His public ministry, Jesus Christ came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying: The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel (Mark 1:14-15).

The Bible records many signs and wonders done at Creation and the Great Flood. The Bible records signs and wonders in the lives of Moses, Elijah, Elisha, Daniel, Jesus Christ, the early church (Book of Acts) and others.

It is a wonder that the physical universe has been sustained as it has. Life on earth is an amazing wonder that would disappear if the physical conditions changed only slightly. Scientists don't know what holds the tiny atom together. The immensity and order of the heavens is a wonder.

And He (Jesus Christ) is (and existed) before all things, and by Him all things consist (Colossians 1:17).

In the Bible, God declares Himself to be All-Mighty (Revelation 1:8). The Power of God is something about which to wonder.

unfortunately people can't even agree to what the Gospel is anymore. OR for that matter what the new birth is. Times seem to get more and more desperate and some signs and wonders should be following and empowering the real church to get the job done. Of course people would find a way to disbelieve a miracle even if it happened right in front of their face. Here is my question to you have you ever seen a miracle happen? I'm not talking about the natural miracles that we see every day. I'm talking about the SuperNatural. Like when limbs grow back that were missing or the blind see or the deaf hear or the lame walk. Or how about just walking on water? Jesus said we would do greater things than these. So of course the question remains where are these miraculous signs that are supposed to follow after the believers?


In Truth,
Joshua

Yes it was a very odd site. Imagine me looking at it 1:00 in the morning :o I was driving when I first saw it and when I stopped at the store I got out my car and just stared. I wish I knew how to understand signs of the times but the best I could think of was Revelation. I'll never forget that moon. I've seen the moon look a little pink at times as the sun was setting and the moon was already in view but that was just the color shift of the setting sun. But a red moon in the middle of the night??????
