God Will Use Us

“Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doth the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works sake.” John 15:10-11

The first faithful thing that Jesus will lead us into regarding works of righteousness is this: it is our Father within us, He does the works! Faith authored by Jesus regarding this Truth is the key to walking in the full power and love of God Himself! Faith in this Truth will allow us to walk as Jesus walked! “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6 “I am come a Light into the world, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness.” John 12:46 Through Jesus we are empowered to live and understand all of the Truth’s of God! Through Christ and the Light that He provides there is now no darkness for us! And since there is now no darkness for us, there is now no occasion for us to stumble and fall! Jesus will teach us all that there is to know about God and He will give us the confidence and full assuredness that it is God within us doing His works of righteousness! Jesus will Author the faith within us so that God can give us the utterance to speak in new tongues. Jesus will finish the faith within us so that God can cast out all devils through us! Jesus we Author and Finish our faith, so that God can empower us to suffer no harm or ill effects from deadly things! Through Christ, and through the faith that He now gives us, we will lay hands on the sick and the power of God within us will cause them to recover, just as they recovered when Jesus laid His hands on them! Jesus will Finish our faith so that we just don’t talk about these Truth’s of God. He will Finish our faith so that we will actually live and rejoice in the Truth’s of God. And the world will believe and they will know that God loves us, just as He loves Jesus because of it! We will live in the fullness of God and in the power of God because Jesus has given us the faith that allows God to work fully through us!

Faith In The Power Of Signs

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Romans 10:17 “And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” John 8:32

We need to hear the Truth that Jesus said that those who believe will have these signs following them: casting out devils, speaking in tongues, no deadly thing harming them, and being used by God to perform miraculous healings. The Truth of the power of God that is within us and that is for us will set us free! The Truth will set us free from fearing gifts like tongues. The Truth will allow us to see why we have them, what they are, and that it is God within us doing all of them! Faith comes from hearing the Truth and the Truth sets the world free! The great Truth about the signs of God, the signs that will follow us, is that they are only happening because it is God within us doing them. Through the power and freedom that Jesus’ sacrifice has provided, God can now do all things through us! There are no limitations for God any longer; He is now free to work through us completely as He worked through Jesus completely. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 Christ, the Anointing of God, allows us to be used by our Father to do all things and it is the Father within us, He is doing the works! Christ allows God to do all things through us, and the world will see God through us, and the world will accept Him, not just because we talk about Him, but by the signs that He performs through us! There will be no doubt as to the One Who is working through us; the works will go beyond man’s abilities, and God will be glorified by them! We should all eagerly desire the love of God, which manifest itself in the signs He performs through us. We should all eagerly desire that God use us as vessels of His honor and that the sick are healed by His power working through us, that He uses our mouths to utter exact prophecies in whatever language that is needed, and that because of Him and the signs that are an evidence of His presence, multitudes come to believe and be saved!

Jesus is Lord and this is the day that He has made and through His glorious presence within our lives we will rejoice and be glad in it!

Why Signs?

“And Jesus said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak in new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:15-18

Why did Jesus say signs? He could have said works, but Jesus said signs! Jesus said that signs would follow us because we are the living testament that God is real and that He has come to dwell as one with man! People see God through us; they see works and actions that man is incapable of! God does His miraculous works through us and only God can perform the works of God. “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the Father that dwelleth in Me, He doth the works.” John 15:10 Jesus told the people clearly that it was not Him alone doing the works, but that it was God doing the works through Him! And then to confirm His testimony, Jesus told the people to look at the works that were happening through Him. “Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for the very works sake.” John 15:11

We should say the exact same thing as we are ministering. “People believe that we are saved and believe that we are in God and that He is in us through Jesus Christ our Lord; or else believe that we are saved and united with God because it is God working within us and we are not harmed by deadly drinks or snakes. Believe that we are saved and united with God because devils flee from us, believe because we speak in new tongues, and believe because God leads us to lay hands on the sick and they recover!” Jesus told the people to believe because of the works they saw God performing through Him, and Jesus tells us that we will see the works of God being performed through us. Signs prove to the world that we are saved: signs both for us and for the entire world to see. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word. That they all may be one; as Thou, Father, art in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me.” John 17:20-21 We are one with God, just as Jesus is One with God. Now stop right there, we are one with God just as Jesus is One with God, when you think of Jesus and God, you too should think of you and God. That is why Jesus came, so that we could enjoy the exact same unity with our Father that our Lord and Savior enjoys! That is why Jesus freely went to the Cross! Jesus went to the Cross so that all separation between man and God would be eliminated. And as Jesus was used by God as a sign of His presence and His love, so shall we be used as a sign! Jesus didn’t come and minister with just Words, even though His Words are eternal. Jesus came in action and in deed, and God doesn’t change, He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow! “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” Hebrews 13:8

Signs will follow all who believe and are saved!

What Jesus Has To Say About Signs

“And Jesus said unto them, Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In My Name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak in new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:15-18

If we have been empowered to believe in Jesus as Lord and are baptized with God’s Holy Spirit, we shall be saved; no questions, no doubts, and no maybes about it, it’s an absolute Truth, and if we don’t believe in Him, we shall be damned! It doesn’t get any clearer than that! God would that all men be saved and He has given all of us the measure of faith to accept and believe in Jesus as Lord, so that we all can be saved! “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Romans 12:3 The Truth will set us free and faith comes from hearing God’s absolute Truth! “Who will have all men saved, and come to the knowledge of the Truth.” 1 Timothy 2:4

The Truth is this, all who believe in Jesus as Lord and who are saved will have the signs that Jesus spoke of in Mark 16 following them! Jesus doesn’t lie and Jesus said that signs will follow us; no questions, no qualifications, and no doubts. If we believe that Jesus is Lord and are baptized with the Holy Spirit these signs will follow us, it’s an absolute Truth! That is the awesome thing about our Father, He is absolute and His Word is absolute and eternal! Heaven and earth will pass away, but the Truth that God’s signs will follow all who believe will still be around!

Signs and wonders can not help but follow us; we are one with Jesus and signs and wonders follow Jesus wherever He is! God will use us as members of His body to cast out devils! Our Father will empower us to speak with new tongues! Poisonous snakes and deadly drinks will not harm us, because they cannot harm Jesus! And in the authority of the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, we will be used by God to lay hands on the sick and they will recover, just as God used Jesus to heal the sick 2000 years ago, He will use all of us who are one with Jesus today to heal the sick! All who believe in Jesus as Lord shall have these signs following them, all of us who believe! These signs will not just follow preachers or evangelist; all of us will be used by God to have these miraculous signs following us! Because it is God within all of us doing the works of His righteousness and these signs follow God!

God Uses Miracles To Confirm His Witness

"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." Hebrews 2:4

It is our Father's will that His witness through us is verified through signs and wonders! He uses the same tool with us as He used with Jesus, His very own Spirit, the Holy Spirit! Our Father cannot be something that He isn't, and God is miraculous and He is powerful. He showed the world just a fraction of His power through Jesus and Jesus said that God wanted to do even more through us, John 14:12! Our Father’s will is to serve mankind mightily and His will is to use us as the vessels of His honor!

So many times we think that it is us performing the works. If it were us working then there would always be the fear of failure. But the Truth is that it is our Father working through us and there is freedom with that Truth. Faith comes from us hearing that it is God’s will to work His signs and wonders through us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Faith comes from knowing that it brings glory to Jesus and faith comes from hearing the Word! These verses are the will of our Father. They are His eternal Word and they bring life and peace to all that truly hear and are empowered to accept them! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, He changes not, and we are now one with Him, and as He is, so are we in this world! A-men!

The Gospel Goes Beyond Words

"For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake." 1 Thessalonians 1:5

Our Father uses us to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with much assurance and with much power! There should be no doubts when we confess the Truth, there should be none of this, “we can agree to disagree!” The Gospel of God is in power; it’s in the power of the Holy Ghost, and the power of God changes things! Peter walked through the streets and the people just wanted to get close to him, and if they did they were healed! Our Father is not double minded and we now have the mind of Christ! Our Father is a God of absolutes. Jesus proclaimed that God would perform signs and wonders through us, Mark 16, and that the world would follow us as we are led by Him in the paths of righteousness! Jesus proclaimed that our Father would do the works through us that He did through Him. Jesus also taught us that our Father would do even greater works through us! God has spoken that His kingdom is one of power. These are Truths and whether the world accepts them or rejects them makes no difference! If we have truly been empowered to say yes to Jesus and make Him the Lord of our lives, then these things will happen through us. If they don’t, then our Father would have lied and our Father is not a man that He should lie!

We will absolutely be used by God to proclaim His Truth’s with power and with much, praise God much, assurance! Greater is He that is within us than He that is in the world!

Our Kingdom Is Powerful

"For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power." 1 Corinthians 4:20

We should have power, God’s power, working through us! Just as Jesus had God’s power working through Him!

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father.” John 14:12

The Kingdom of God is in power, it’s in doing the works that Jesus did and even greater ones. Now that is some power! Jesus doesn’t hymn hall around with this statement either! Jesus said we shall be used by our Father to do miraculous works, no questions about it! Jesus spoke with certainty and with authority about God working through all of us who believe! It’s the power of our Father working through us that allows people to look beyond man, beyond some fancy words, beyond poetic speeches and cunningness and see the Truth, and the Truth will set them free! People need to know that our Father still heals. They need to know that He still gives wisdom and knowledge, peace and joy that pass all understanding. The world needs to know that He understands us and knows our needs, even before we ask. The world needs to know that God is willing and able to do the absolute perfect things in every situation for us! Jesus said that if we believe on Him, then we absolutely would do the works that He did. The Truth is this: if we truly have been empowered by the Holy Spirit to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, then God absolutely will work through us. He will work through us as He worked through Jesus and our Father will even work greater things through us, because the sacrifice of Jesus has allowed Him to! The hindrances of the price of sin are gone. The Blood of Jesus has destroyed them and the Old Covenant is finished! Our Father is able to work through us with the freedom of the New Covenant, where sin and the wages of it have been destroyed and removed from us. Our Father can now work freely through all of us! Look at what God was able to do with just the one body of Jesus. Now He has millions of us! Faith comes from hearing this Truth!

Father I ask You in the Name of Jesus, that you use each of us, so that the Church will finally walk in the full and complete power that you have provided for us through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior! A-men!
