“Signs” meaning supernatural miracles in the realm of the senses, confirming the atoning work of Christ, “Wonders” meaning supernatural miracles in the imagination realm, confirming the atoning work of Christ. I believe, from a Scriptural standpoint, that Signs and Wonders mean miracles that the natural, intellectual mind cannot deny. In John 17:22, Jesus prayed that we would have the same glory that He had and has. The word “glory” stands for God’s very reputation. Signs and Wonders are something that God wants manifested through His Church of simple believers. Mark 16:17 says that Signs would follow the believer. A person becomes a believer immediately upon accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Ephesians 1:17-23 and 3:14-20 outline a prayer that the Holy Spirit gave to the Church. Verse 18 of this prayer says, “Pray that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened (deeply understood in our spirits, minds and flesh) that we may know what is the riches of His glory to us as saints of God.” “Glory” in this verse means reputation. God’s reputation or glory has many meanings, such as holy or pure, but it is also about Signs and Wonders. Jesus, the perfect will and voice of God in the earth, said in John 17:18, “As thou (God) has sent Me into this world, even so have I also sent them (us) into the world.” John 17 was Jesus’ intercessory prayer for the Church, today, and Jesus always had His prayers answered! According to 2 Corinthians 4:1, we have been given this ministry, this treasure in earthen vessels. The treasure is God’s glory, His reputation for the believer, today. Scriptures say that the treasure in earthen vessels is the life of Jesus being manifest in our bodies or in our mortal flesh. Signs and Wonders are supposed to occur in a human’s mortal flesh."
Father, forgive us that we have neglected the power placed within us, that signs and wonders do not follow us nor the fruits of the spirit, stir up the fires within us, give us power in our prayers, that mountains move, the power within us changing the conditions, surroundings and situations, according to Your Glory, Your reputation, in the powerful name of Christ Yeshua, Amen and Amen
