"If a prophet or someone who has dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you, and that sign or wonder he has promised you comes about, but he says, 'Let us follow other gods,' which you have not known, 'and let us worship them,' do not listen to that prophet's words or to that dreamer. For the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul.”
Deuteronomy 13:1-3
If supernatural power was only displayed by God then you could judge a prophet by the miracles he did. It would be simple. If there were miracles, then the message was to be accepted. But these verses in Deuteronomy clearly contradict that thinking.
Don't judge a man or his message by the miracles. Judge rather by whether or not the man's message is pointing you to God alone.
God wants your love to be "maxed out!" He wants you to love Him as much as you possibly can. If there is a way you can express your love for Him that you have not done, then set your mind and heart to do that today!
The highest expression of loving God is to submit your will to His will and to give Him your life for His purposes. God has given you the free will to do otherwise. You can reject God or you can accept God. He does not force you to enter in to the most amazing, intimate, loving relationship that could ever be. You and God, together forever and loving each other beyond your greatest imagination.
It is truly greater than a miracle!
