Ascribing to satan what is treuly of Holy Spirit is Scripturally an exceedingly hazardous deed.
There's plenty of mostly emotionalism in AND OUT of the Charismatic Movement in all denominations in behalf of all kinds of errors and non-errors.
But the authentic is priceless and blessed.
It was not emotionalism that picked my friend's car up and sent her safely on down the road late at night when she came up over a hill on a semi-blocking the road with her at the high speed limit. The next moment she was on the other side of the wrecked semi, going on down the road between the deep cut in the hills.
It was not emotionalism that has dramatically healed a number of FREEPERS.
It was not emotionalism that laid a huge masculine hand on my shoulder at a despairing moment in my life--I thought it was a very tall church member named Bart. But no one was around for at least 25-30 feet when I turned around to speak to him.
It was not emotionalism that raised the praying Chinese wife and mother's husband from being dead 3 days beside the road--raised him back to healthy life. She had been preaching beside his body that Jesus was going to do that--and HE did.
There's a supervising Mexican preacher in Northern Mexico who will not even consider a candidate for ministry until that candidate has had several bona fide validated resurrections under his fledging ministry.
It was not emotionalism when my friend drove around for several weeks on empty when normally she couldn't go 5 blocks.
But the "routine" miracles common to the better Charismatic groups will pale in comparison to the "routine" that's not too far off.
GOD WILL ARISE AND HIS ENEMIES WILL BE SCATTERED. AND ALONG THE WAY, THE DARK WILL GET DARKER AND THE LIGHT LIGHTER.
GOD WILL NOT allow the enemy all the dramatic events, counterfeit junk.
GOD AND HIS MIRACLES WILL MAKE THE OLD TESTAMENT AND NEW TESTAMENT MIRACLES SEEM TAME BY COMPARISON TO WHAT IS AHEAD IN OUR ERA.

>>Emotionalism. The thing about evil is that it disguises itself as good. Pentacostalism, as far as I am concerned, is a heresy, period.
>>Looking for miracles, etc., amounts to spiritual pride, and Satan can use that desire to decieve the unsuspecting.
I believe in miracles, but I heed the advice of the saints and eschew looking for them.
And THE CHURCH will arise and become what it is supposed to be, full of righteousness, purity, power, praise and love toward all. We've seen nothing yet. All churches have been pretty weak and powerless but that WILL end.
