Have you ever wondered how much Jesus would charge your health insurance if He healed you?
Do you believe in Jesus still healing people to this day?
Do you think it’s still possible?
Do you believe Jesus died and never rose again?
Do you believe Jesus stopped working thru people?
I don’t know your answers to these questions but they are something to think about.
Now, I’m not sure if you’ve read it before or if you have ever even heard about this Scripture, but here’s Mark 16:15-18:
“And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.””
Whether or not you are a Christian, I couldn’t tell you.
But what I can tell you is that Jesus wasn’t saying this to His disciples just for fun or for no reason.
And His disciples did listen and follow His teachings there after. And they did those very things, over and over and over again.
He gave them 1 mission. Preach the Good News to Everyone.
He also said, “[and] These miraculous signs will accompany all of those who believe.
They will cast out demons, handle snakes with safety, heal the sick, drink poison and it won’t hurt them.
Jesus said He had to go so He could send the helper.
When He ascended into Heaven, He then sent the Holy Spirit to earth. The Holy Spirit is Who(yes, it is a who) heals people today.
One of the largest growing churches in the world is Pentecostal, another is Charismatic.
What these 2 churches have in common that most DO NOT, is instead of going to a church on Sunday wearing your Sunday best, sitting down and listening to a pastor preach for 1-1.5 hrs while
you count the minutes on the clock, these churches are ACTUALLY seeing and feeling the presence of God.
People are being healed, they are having demons cast out of them, they are speaking in tongues, they are opening blind eyes, deaf ears, barren wombs.
These things are ACTUALLY happening in the world today, and in churches all over the world, probably even one in your town or within 30-60 mins from you!
People seem to believe that since Jesus died, rose again and went into heaven, and that the disciples and apostles died over 1,000 years ago, that all is done and finished.
But that couldn’t be farther from the truth!
Jesus did not say that! Jesus told His disciples what to do. He told His followers what to do.
He said what is literally The Calling of a Christian.
Re-read this passage.
Mark 16:15-18:
“And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them. They will be able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed.””
Digest it.
Understand it.
Pray on it.
Dissect it.
Once you do, and you open your mind to what Jesus is saying, then you can follow me over to the next post.
