1Co 4:20 For the kingdom of God does not consist in talk but in power. The Kingdom of God is not about talk, it is about power. And when we speak about power, it is something tangible. It is not imaginary. Talk is imaginary. But the Kingdom of God is about power. That is why the Apostle Paul says, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

It should follow that these signs also increase in manifestations. But there are some who profess that these signs passed away together with the passing of the Prophets and the Apostles.
