Mobile Technology: Signs & Wonders

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders.

2 Thessalonians 2:9 (NKJV)

Is technology a miracle? If I saw a fat pig sprout wings and fly, I would be no more amazed than sitting in a metal tube with wings that can fly. (And I’ve frequently traveled in those tubes.)

  • What would early Christians think if they saw cars, planes, tanks, smartphones, or television?

  • What would Peter, the fisherman, or Paul, the tentmaker, say of our modern world?

  • Would they label modern technology as signs and wonders from God… or Satan?

They served a Savior of signs and wonders. He premiered many of them in Egypt, 'Against Pharaoh, against all his servants, and against all the people of his land' (Nehemiah 9:10). In a series of stunning disasters, God performed a special delivery.

Then they saw a greater delivery. Peter described it: 'Jesus of Nazareth was a Man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs, which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know' (Acts 2:22). But…

  • Upon the death of Jesus on the Cross,

  • His promised and proven resurrection,

  • And His gift of the Spirit to His saints, 

Peter, Paul, and EVERY true disciple… became God-ordained people of power. 'Many wonders and signs were done through the apostles' (Acts 2:43). 

Jesus was and IS the Generator. Christians are HIS mobile technology.

Consider it: What is technology but a 'discourse or treatise on an art' (Etymology Dictionary)?

The art and science of signs and wonders began with God, and it will end with God.

He’s the Creator, and saints have been sent as actors, models, and talent for Christ: His mobile communication task forces, representing THE Truth in media.

Still, in walking out His Great Commission, His performers must be wise and SAVVY, because…

'False christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect' (Mark 13:22).

Actors, models, and talent for Christ: You’re His elect. You mustn’t be deceived.

NOTE: This is a 2023 update of a 2013 Carey Lewis Devotion. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players. Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
