⚔️ Not All Healing Comes from God: Discerning the Counterfeit in the Last Days

In a world that hungers for relief, restoration, and healing, not every source of “miracle power” comes from God. The Bible warns that in the last days, the enemy will use false signs and counterfeit healings to deceive many, to glorify man rather than Christ, and to prepare hearts for the Antichrist system.

Let’s look at what the Word of God says.

1️⃣ False Miracles and Deceptive Healings

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”
— Matthew 24:24

Jesus warned that supernatural demonstrations will increase — but not all will be from Heaven. Some “healing” and “energy” manifestations are lying wonders meant to entrap souls.

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:9

The enemy mimics the miraculous to divert worship away from Christ. His goal is not restoration but deception.

2️⃣ When Healing Glorifies Man Instead of God

In Acts 8, Simon the Sorcerer amazed the people of Samaria with counterfeit power.

“To whom they all gave heed… saying, This man is the great power of God.” — Acts 8:10

Only when Philip preached Christ and the Holy Spirit moved in truth were people truly delivered. Satan’s miracles captivate; God’s miracles liberate.

3️⃣ The Source Reveals the Spirit

True healing flows from the compassion of Jesus. Counterfeit healing flows from the pride of the enemy.

“He doeth great wonders… deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles.”
— Revelation 13:13-14

Revelation shows the false prophet using supernatural power to lead the world into worship of the beast. Any “miracle” that shifts glory from God to man aligns with the spirit of deception.

4️⃣ Healing That Enslaves, Not Frees

Paul reminds us that Satan masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14).
Modern “energy healings,” “frequency balancing,” or “cosmic wellness” practices often present themselves as pure and peaceful — yet they bypass Jesus Christ, relying on self-divinity or “universal power.”

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator.” — Romans 1:25

When healing becomes self-glorifying rather than God-glorifying, it opens a door to bondage.

5️⃣ True Healing vs. Counterfeit Power

True Healing from GodCounterfeit Healing (Antichrist Spirit)
Glorifies Jesus (John 11:4)Glorifies man or system
Leads to repentance (Mark 2:5-12)Avoids repentance, focuses on self
Brings freedom and deliverance (Luke 13:16)Produces spiritual pride or dependence
Operates through the Holy SpiritDraws from occult or psychic power
Confirms the Word (Mark 16:20)Contradicts or replaces Scripture

6️⃣ The Spirit of Antichrist: Taking God’s Glory

“He opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God… shewing himself that he is God.”
— 2 Thessalonians 2:4

The Antichrist spirit seeks to replace Christ — offering healing, peace, and “spiritual awakening” apart from the Cross. It denies the need for repentance and elevates human wisdom over divine truth.

🕊️ 7️⃣ The Call to Discernment

True healing always points back to Jesus Christ, producing humility, holiness, and thanksgiving. Counterfeit healing glorifies man, enriches ego, or leads people away from dependence on God.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God.”
— 1 John 4:1

We must test every source, every “method,” and every messenger by the Word of God.

🙏 A Prayer for Discernment

Abba Father, in the name of Jesus,
Give us eyes to see and ears to hear.
Guard our hearts from deceptive power that imitates Your truth.
Fill us with Your Spirit of wisdom and discernment,
so that everything we believe, practice, and proclaim brings glory to Jesus alone.
Keep us in the truth of Your Word, and let Your healing flow through the Cross — pure, holy, and redemptive.
In Jesus Almighty name, Amen.

✝️ Final Thought

The last days will be filled with both true revival and false fire. Only those anchored in the Word and filled with the Spirit will discern the difference.
Remember: True healing exalts Jesus, not man.

Knowing God and Doing Exploits: A Study on Daniel 11:32

Daniel 11:32 (KJV): "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits." In a world filled with deception, compromise, and spiritual battles, Daniel 11:32 offers a powerful contrast between those who fall away and those who remain steadfast in their faith. This verse reminds us that intimately knowing God results in spiritual strength and extraordinary action . Let’s dive deeper into what this means and how we can apply it in our lives today. 1. The Context of Daniel 11:32 The book of Daniel contains both historical prophecies and end-time revelations. Daniel 11 specifically details conflicts between powerful kingdoms, particularly focusing on the rule of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, a king who severely persecuted the Jewish people. The first half of the verse ( "And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries" ) speaks about those who compromis...

The Tribe of Benjamin: A Warrior’s Legacy and Biblical Significance

  Introduction The tribe of Benjamin was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, descending from Benjamin, the youngest son of Jacob (Israel) and Rachel . Throughout biblical history, the Benjamites played a crucial role in warfare, leadership, and spiritual significance. Despite moments of near destruction, they remained resilient and left a lasting impact on both the Old and New Testaments. Key Characteristics of the Tribe of Benjamin A Warrior Tribe The Benjamites were known for their exceptional skill in battle. Notably, many were left-handed warriors , giving them a unique strategic advantage (Judges 20:16). Ehud , a judge of Israel, was a left-handed Benjamite who used his skill to assassinate Eglon, the Moabite king (Judges 3:15-23). Strategic Location Their land was centrally located, between Ephraim (north) and Judah (south) (Joshua 18:11-28). This position made them influential in politics, trade, and warfare. King Saul’s Tribe The first king of Israel, Saul , was a Benjami...

Five Ways to Hear God Speak to You

Hearing from God is a transformative experience that deepens one's faith and spiritual understanding. Here are five key practices supported by Scripture that can help you tune in to God's voice: 1. Remain Pure "Purity of heart leads to a clearer vision of God," as Jesus states in Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." To remain pure, one must strive to live a life free of sin and full of grace. Other verses that emphasize purity include: Psalm 51:10 : "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." 1 John 3:3 : "All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure." These verses remind us that purity is not just about avoiding wrongdoing, but actively seeking renewal through God's grace. 2.
