Some of Jesus’ critics accused Him of partnering with the devil to perform miracles. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul continues his series in the gospel of Luke, examining the Lord’s response and what it teaches us about the purpose of miracles and the power of Christ.

Divide and Conquer System About 2,600 years ago, in the second year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign as king of Babylon, this pagan king has a dream. He saw in his dream a huge statue made of pure gold at its head, silver at its chest and arms, bronze at its belly and thighs, and iron at its legs. But at its feet, it was made of two different elements mixed together and yet they cannot reman united. They are partly iron and partly clay, partly strong and partly brittle, a divided power or strength. Then in the dream, a rock was cut out off a mountain but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet which made it to fall down and was destroyed to be seen no more, but the rock became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Prophet Daniel was led to give the interpretation from God himself. The clay represents the seeds or children of men so it is the representation of people or the power of people themselves. The iron, bronze, silver, and gold, therefore, represent non-human powers. They are the kingdoms of spirits who acted over humans that ruled the earth solidly in the past starting from the government of Nebechadnezzar. The whole statue then represents the whole world. In the past, human governments don't rule by themselves. They were always under the influence or authority of the so-called gods or spirits of the world. But during the end times of their world, it is now under the leadership of two different and separate dominions. One of them is the rule, might, power, or kingdom of humans, and the other is the seed of the previous iron kingdom of gods or spirits, while other seeds like that of the bronze, silver, and gold power are sitting in the background. During the days of these kings or leaders, the God of heaven will set up the rock kingdom which will never end. It will destroy and annihilate all these other kingdoms. It will will not be passed on to other. It will reign over the whole earth for ever and ever. _Based on Daniel 2 . . . . . . What happened to the strongest head of this evil world and his house was divided during its end times? Understand this parable of the Lord Jesus: "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, all his possessions are safe. But when a stronger one comes and attacks him, he will take away the armor in which that strong man trusted and the victor will divide up the spoils." _Luke 11:21-22

C.S. Lewis disagreed that Christ's miracles were against nature,, he said Christ's miracles were what God normally does (turn grapes into wine for example) over time and through third parties, done by Himself without a third party and in an instant. He argued the fermentation of grapes into wine was an act of God as much as Christ tuning water into wine without grapes. That everytime someone is healed, God did it. “God heals, and the doctor takes the fees.” ― Benjamin Franklin

Can satan do "miracles"? My answer: 'some'. For instance, Pharoah's diviners' rods became snakes (though inferior to Mose's); and we are told satan appears as an angel of light. We know he performs "false signs and wonders" but is limited. Also, his "healings" are temporary. Either that, or the person healed "sinned again and something worse happened to them." IMO.

@@matthewmartinez1828 Amen, my brother! Thank you for your kindly worded admonition. "Mea culpa", but I made it right by taking your sage advice. So glad I did! What a wonderful message! Thank you! Now, should I erase my comment or leave it, because someone may read and not read on to yours? or leave

Please do not confuse "Miracles" and "Magic". Miracle and Magic is not the same, they are world apart. Satan can do magic but definitely not Miracle. Magic is a counterfeit of Miracles. Miracles are divine, the source God. Magic is a kind of manipulation with deception as its goal.
