You should not seek to do those things to prove God is real.

Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

What is really meant by signs following believers is that believers do not seek to follow signs in order to minister to others, but signs will happen that follow the believers in life as an example is shown below..

Acts 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. 2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm. 6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.

Paul did not seek to be bitten by that viper to help those to believe in God, but it happened and he survived and that was how signs can follow believers.

If we seek for the miraculous to accompany us in ministry, not sure how the foot of pride cannot come against us as becoming an offense to God in our relationship with Him. Remember Samson? God was his strength but he later gave the credit to the length of his hair. So a saved believer in the ministry can forget God's working to thinking he or she is doing the miracles instead. So we do not look to signs to accompany us in the ministry so others can believe, but to God the father in drawing them unto the Son to reveal His son to them so they can believe in him and be saved, without miracles or signs needed. It is a miracle alone for them to even believe in Him since that is a work of the Father.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

I am happy to share the good news that these signs shall follow them that believe.
Happened to me. And now I do pray in tongues.
How good is that !

You should be discerning when you chose to believe God's gift of tongues which is for God to speak unto the people can also be used for private use as if as a means to pray unto God in a language you know not what is being said when it is not interpreted. Are there not other claims for tongues for private use that does not involve praying to God? Yes, as there are other supposed claims for self edification, giving thanks, and worship being done. Now how does that not make God the author of confusion unless that tongue assumed for private use is not of Him at all but identifying with the devil's tongue in the occult?

Isaiah 8:19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

1 Timothy 4:1Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

So why would God allow that strong delusion to occur?

Matthew 12:39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

This is another reason why signs follow believers but believers are not to seek after signs as proof for anything about the believers for the believers to know and testify of in seeking.

2 Corinthians 11:1Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Colossians 2:5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

While others will only promote what had happened to you as the second blessing, yet others will take that same rudiment for other paranormal events like slain in the spirit & holy laughter. Yea, even Ernest Angeley's Healing Crusade for when he announces the coming of the Holy Spirit on already saved believers to effect a miracle, casting out of devils, or healings as they would fall backwards in a loss of self control when this "miraculous" happens. This was practiced in the early 1980's when my folks went there to Victory Chapel where he was a guest to bring about healings over the weekend for my brother, Matt, and I, for our heard of hearing. I testify that he was announcing the Holy Spirit falling on people to effect a healing with a "Whooooooooo..!!!" which my brother, matt made fun with when we got home. I can testify that I felt a vibrations in my deaf ear. but even though I had continued to pray that Jesus will heal me, it did not happen.

I cannot find a video proving this is how he did it when I was there but I can show other videos that testify to that rudiment & his mentality in what spirit he was serving in spite of doing those miracles in His name like those in Matthew 7:21-23.

On Monday, I was unusually tired that day after high school and had to take a nap when I woke up and there was like an electrical humming in the air & I could not move. I was pinned to my bed. So I prayed to Jesus for help and fond that I could move my wrist. Then I tried the other one, and I was able to flip my hand into a fist. Then I tried to raise the forearm of my first hand, and did, and then the other arm and did that too. And when tried to lift the shoulder blade off of my bed, the weight seemingly rolled off and I could move, thanks to Jesus Christ since I was praying for His help.

I can understand why Jesus warned believers not to go there where they announce that Jesus Christ is there, hence the Spirit of Christ aka the Holy Spirit when He is in us since salvation at the calling of the gospel.

There in this video in 1978 shows a woman being healed but afterwards Ernest tapped her on the forehead to cause her to fall backwards at 47.08 in the video to "get all of it".

But he has modified this "announcement" since he was getting flack for it.

But you can catch proof of this same mentality or that same rudiment when he announces the "it is coming upon you" to this woman at 45:13 to affect a healing into the video, even though there is no loss of self control there, albeit he did try to push her back on her forehead as he has done before in the early 1980's when people fell backwards.

The problem here is that miracles can happen in Khundalini also, and yet Jesus refers to those professing Him in spite of the miracles done, as workers of iniquities for believing the lie that they can effect healings by giving the Holy Spirit "again" whereby the recipients lose self control and fall backwards.

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 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.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Anyway, only God can help you test the spirits and the tongues they bring per 1 John 4:1-6 because God wants you to pray so you know what you had prayed for so when you get answers to prayers, you can give the Father thanks in Jesus's name. Better to know your prayers and your thanksgivings to God than not knowing what is going on, when in actuality, nothing is going on because that is not God's gift of tongues at all when assumed and believed to be for private use.
