Why signs/wonders/tongues faded away

Miracles still happen everyday, this guy just does not perceive them. If he had ministered alongside Reinhard Bonnke, this video would not exist. Besides, God intervenes supernaturally in everyone's life, guiding, protecting, communing with them, warning them of dangers, sending his angels to war against demons right in our presense - in the unseen spiritual realm. Furthermore life itself is a miracle. God knits us together in our mother's womb ... unless you think that is something nature itself designs and orders? Imagine the moment the supermarket cell penetrates the egg and then it divides again and again creating cells, fibers, organs, systems simultaneously according to a genetic code. Do these cells just decipher the code, create thousands of factories within each one, producing amino acids, proteins, specific cells with completely different designs and purposes for each unique part of the body by themselves? Do they have little brains? Pretty smart if they did. No, God orders this process supernaturally - it is a miracle and when you see this beautiful baby that looks like his parents at birth, you must understand that life continually is created by God everyday. Healing the blind, deaf of a particular terminal illness is small change compared to the development of the fetus yo birth.
This guy is narrow minded, and really like doubting Thomas.
Signs have not ceased either- Jesus gave us signs to look for.

Since we know that in the endtimes there will be ungodly "lying sings and wonders" which are clearly going to be satanic in origen: how do these Pentecostals know if they are NOT being deceived?

Ans: They don't!

Also: WHY don't these charlatans heal the kids at St. Judes or Shriner's Children Hospitals? WHY???

Reinhard Bonnke has been slain in the spirit or holy laughter which I did a piece on this web site and is demonic..... its pushed alot by rodney howard browne for one.... hes also was great friends of benny hinn.....

Have they? I've seen and heard of miraculous accounts. I don't think they happen as much now, especially in the West, because we live in an environment of unbelief. Even most Western Christians have been influenced to some degree by secularism, materialism, intellectualism, etc. We are taught early on to focus on what's seen, not the unseen. Missionaries who go to third-world countries have a different experience. They see more healings and miracles taking place. That's because the people have a simple faith that isn't cluttered by unbelief. It changes the entire environment and things happen.

Bzzzt!
Close but no cigar.
Scripture is clear that the sign gifts are so the UNBELIEVERS will believe the Gospel and was specifically for JEWISH unbelievers.
Signs and wonders are NOT of God in these last days.

So much nonsense these days.

Well if you are trying to say or convince people that God changes (therefore miracles came only for a time)--that's just wrong, not biblical.

I don't like responding at all to those who post a video like throwing a bomb and then running...

But it should be known that as @Ronald David Bruno stated, there are miracles every day.

As for the types of miracles that this whole topic is about...parting of the Red Sea, manna from heaven, healings, raising the dead--the only change from then to now, is because "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual." That change is not God changing, it is His ministry changing and moving from only natural miracles (which still exist within every generation) to what Jesus called "greater works than these." How are they greater--they are not natural, but spiritual. And what did Jesus say about spiritual activity and everyone born of the spirit? That you can't see it--it comes without observation. (Yes, I connected those two matters.)

Which is to say...rather than the parting of a worldly sea...the heavens are parted, and rather than one being healed in the flesh, they are healed in spirit, and rather than people being raised from the dead in the flesh, they are being ascended into the presence of God. And yes, rather than seeing Jesus set His fleshly feet down upon the Mount of Olives and having it spit down the middle--oh, I covered that one already--well except Him coming on the clouds--He comes in the [spirit] glory of the Father...and the heavens are parted.

Time to get up to speed with all that God is doing--He's transforming all things, making all things new and perfect, as He is perfect--in spirit.

Sorry, but I've seen evidence to the contrary.

I'm sorry you were deceived.
Watch a documentary sometime.
Tribal peoples the world over ALSO display the same "signs, wonders and tongues".
