I beleive the Holy Spirit is still gifting believers with the gifts of prophecy and healing and teaching and tongues today. Mark 15:18 Jesus gives the Great Commission or Matthew 28:16-20.
My eye sight was getting worse and I got lazer treatment which improved it for 8 years, then it diminished again, and I heard a voice saying to me" I will heal your eyesight". I doubted this was the Holy spirit to me and thought it was Satan, but my eye sight started remarkably improving and I could see colour I had never seen before. Mark10:46-52.
I also refer to Mark 3:20 -30 Religious leaders accuse Jesus of Being under Satan's power. In that scripture Jesus says Mark 3:28 " I tell you the truth, all the sins and blasphemies of men will be forgiven them. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven: he is guilty of an eternal sin."
He said this because they were saying, "He has an evil spirit."
I think if cessationist Christians call the gift of tongues or healing, in other faith filled Christians demonic, then they could be calling the Holy Spirit in that person, who is saved by grace, the power of Satan, which is exactly what the Religious leaders said to Jesus Mark 3:22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, "He is possessed by Beelzebub! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.
Matthew 7;7-12 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.

I have been healed many times of different problems. For me to say there are no gifts today would be a lie.
