In the book of Exodus, we learn that some of God's miracles were duplicated by Satan's power channeled through the Egyptian sorcerers -- their wooden staffs became a snakes (Ex. 7:10,11); water was changed into blood (Ex. 7:20-22) and frogs came out of the water and covered the land (Ex. 8:6,7)! Demons can and do perform miraculous signs (Rev. 16:14).
To be specific, we can be sure that our generation, if it is the last generation, will hear of or see in the future fire coming down from Heaven to earth (Rev. 13:13) and an image of the Antichrist speaking (Rev. 13:15) because of Satanic power! In fact, it will be because of such Satanic miracles that the ones who receive the infamous mark of the beast in the bible and worship his image will be deceived (Rev. 19:20). [Please read and circle that verse in your own Bible for yourself.] They will be deceived by astounding and awe-inspiring miracles produced by Satanic power! See also 2 Thess. 2:9,10.
In contrast, the Catholic church "approved" the 1917 Fatima visions of a personage claiming to be the Virgin Mary, which declared herself as our "refuge" and "the way that will lead you to God." The miracle of the sun occurred at Fatima too! Such a message is in direct conflict with Jn. 14:6 which declares Jesus as the only "way" to God and God is our refuge (Psa. 46:1; 62:8; etc.)! It means nothing IF the so-called eucharistic miracles really did occur! WHY? Because demons can perform miracles (Rev. 16:14) and the Eucharist is NOT bible-based.
Since Mormonism and Catholicism both have miracles and visions and their messages about salvation are in conflict with each other, we logically know that God can't be the only power source for these miracles and visions. We can be dogmatic, since God is not a God of confusion. [God's power was NOT active in either of these cases!]
The prophet of God, Elijah said:
"...The god who answers by fire--he is God..." (1 Kings 18:24).That worked great at Mt. Carmel (1 Kings 18), but during the days of the Antichrist via demonic power, fire will come down from "heaven" (Rev. 13:13). NOTE: You MUST look beyond the miracle to the message associated with the miracle to identify the supernatural source. God's miraculous power will always be associated with his written Word, the Holy Bible. Do NOT be moved away from the Biblical message OR you will be DECEIVED. That is a "full gospel" teaching (2 Tim. 3:16,17).
To reflect upon the contents of this message until an indelible impression is made upon your mind might make a difference in your eternity beyond the grave! Remember, these are perilous days that call for discernment. In conclusion, God still performs miracles and heals in our day (Jn.14:12; Acts 4:30; etc.), but so does the devil (Rev. 16:14)! The Bible is final authority and will help us distinguish the dangerous and deceptive Satanic miracles from miracles of God.
