Matthew 7:22-23
King James Version (KJV)
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:22-23
New International Version 1984 (NIV1984)
22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’


In light of the words of Jesus Christ Himself is it not clear that false ministers and ministries will be performing "miracles" and "casting out demons"?

Yes. Simply because one does a "miracle" does not automatically means that that person is speaking the truth about God. The false ministers identify themselves when the speak, which is why they are "cloaked" with sheep's wool \ angel of light.

Yes, even I as an Atheist will stand up and take notice if I see a miracle performed.

I know what you mean. I have never seen a real one myself. Seen many fakes and frauds but never a real miracle. I remember watching a guy on TV when I was a kid because I thought he was funny. I think his name was Earnest Angely. Not sure about the spelling. I just remember him saying to his crowd of people "come and get your miracle"
