Shalom!
The tendency to embrace the concept of God being an angry Father is done in equal proportion to a person's inability to demonstrate His power.
There is a connection between our belief system and what actually flows through us.
If we don't see Jesus' life as the ultimate illustration of the will of God, we will continually undermine our ability to display it.
The Holy Spirit always wants to demonstrate what God says.
In Hebrews 2:3-4 it says, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;
which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?"
We know for sure that God wants to do signs and wonders and confirm His own word because scripture says so.
Some Christians think is it so spiritual to say, "I don't need signs and wonders."
Jesus actually relied on signs and wonders and manifestations.
He went out of the way to make sure the Holy Spirit had an occasion to demonstrate the words He spoke.
Jesus said,
"I am the bread of life" (John 6:35) and fed the 5,000.
He said, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25) and He raised the dead.
He said, "I am the light of the world" (John 8:12) and He opened the eyes of the blind.
God always wants to do what He says.
The Apostle Paul said, "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power" (1 Corinthians 2:4).
