These shall be the signs

Posted on 10:37 AM by Unknown


Before he ascended into Heaven the Lord said to His disciples, 
"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


In my name shall they cast out devils;
DONE!
Whenever the Church says "go" devils flee 

they shall speak with new tongues;
DONE!
We speak with new tongue of the redeemed, 
we speak to God in through His Son the Eternal Word!

They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
DONE!
The Church is in this sinful world but not of it

they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
DONE!
Sinners are healed when hands are laid on them, 
those who sick to the point of death of the soul are raised to new life

It is a mistake to allow people to assume these things are the preserve of "charismatics" or Pentecostalist Ptrotestant sects, it is also a mistake and a distortion of scripture to read them in such terms. They fundamental to the Rites and life of the Catholic Church!

The Charismatic/Pentecostal miracle cult was only invented in the 1910s and absorbed into Catholicism in the 1970s!
