Looking for Miracles is Lack of Faith

I have met many Christians who continually look for "special words from the Lord", to appear more spiritual. The reason I know they are doing this is because much of what they claim is not Biblical. I have known people who claim things were from the Lord that violated His own word. God would never bring a miracle that contradicted His commands in the Bible, but the devil would do that, so we can conclude that if a miracle violates God's Word, then it was the flesh or the devil that concocted it.


Deuteronomy 18:20 "'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.'"

The verse in Deuteronomy show us just how serious it is to presume to speak for God when God never told us to do so.

Often believers lack faith, desiring to have something grandiose to bring attention to themselves, will concoct a miracle through verbal spin, lying to gain the praise of others.

John 12:43 "For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God."

Be very careful to evaluate a miracle in light of the the Scriptures rather than emotional hype or personal desires.
