Kathi Pelton: He Will Work Signs and Wonders on Your Behalf
Jul 19, 2026
I think there are times when we forget that God still works signs and wonders. We can get so caught up in the natural and earthly things that we forget the power of the supernatural God that we serve. But He still works signs and wonders on our behalf! He Did It for Those in the Bible, and He Will for You Too! God has not changed. We must remind our souls that in the same way He worked signs and wonders on behalf of the men and women in the Bible, God will do the same for us in these days and times. "He delivers and rescues; He works signs and wonders in Heaven and on earth, He who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions." (Daniel 6:27 ESV) Throughout our lives there are times where each one of us needs to be delivered and rescued. We have an enemy that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but the enemy's power to bring destruction does not compare with God's power to deliver and rescue us from evil. He delivered Daniel from the power of lions, He delivered David from the power of lions, and He will deliver you and I from the powers that are greater than us. Do Not Shy Away from Asking God
One of the first signs and wonders I ever experienced was when I was twenty years old. I was newly married, and my husband and had I moved across the country from our home in California to attend Bible college. We spent every cent we had to get there and to secure an apartment, pay tuition, and travel cross country. When we arrived, it was midsummer and the weather was over 100 degrees and extremely humid. But we had forgotten to pay to have the electricity turned on in our apartment, and we were completely out of money. After a hot and miserable first night in our new apartment, with no lights and no air conditioning, we got ready to go to our first Sunday service at our new church. This was a very large church, and one of the side walls was all glass so that you could see outside. During the worship portion of the service, my young husband was at the altar on his knees, praying for God to help us. I remained in my seat and was looking out at the scenery through this wall of glass. While I was looking out, I noticed an old man with white hair walking outside. The strange detail that caught my attention was that this man was wearing a trench coat! I couldn't believe that anyone would wear a coat in such extreme heat. My eyes kept watch on him until I could no longer see him. Your God Will Answer Then, much to my surprise, I saw this white-haired man in the trench coat coming down the church aisle, and when he reached my row, he walked down it and stopped when he got to me. Then he said, "This is for you," and he handed me the exact amount of money that we needed to turn on our electricity! He then turned around, exited the row, walked back toward the church door, and left the building. I quickly turned to see him through the wall of glass windows, but he was nowhere to be seen; he just disappeared! I have absolutely no doubt that he was an angel whom the Lord had sent to rescue us and to do a sign and wonder on our behalf. This was our first miracle on our journey as a married couple, but it surely would not be our last.
"Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in Heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!" (Matthew 7:7–11 NIV) We asked and He brought us exactly what we needed. Your Father in Heaven wants you to ask for help, to ask for signs, and to ask for wonders that leave you with good gifts, and leave you in awe! He Will Work Signs and Wonders on Your Behalf It is time to not only ask, seek, and knock but to expect that He will answer you with what you need. He will not give you a stone when you ask for bread, or a snake when you ask for fish. He is good! The young twenty-year-old who sat in the church that day, not knowing what we were going to do, had no idea that his answer was going to come in the form of an angle handing me exactly what we needed. But God wanted me to know, without any doubt, that the gift and the answer came from Him alone. That moment carried me through many moments in my future where I would need God's supernatural help—and it always came. His message to you today is this: He still works signs and wonders on your behalf!

There are also many times in our lives when we need some real signs and wonders to occur to bring the breakthrough that we need. Do not shy away from asking and believing that God will work both signs and wonders on your behalf. I have seen them, I have experienced them, and I still stand in awe that He works on my behalf so powerfully. (Photo via Freerange Stock)
