John 14:12
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.

Mark 16:17-18
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with 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.

Let’s take a closer look at what Jesus said would happen to you ‘in His name’. Put your name in that passage:

“In my name shall [Patrick] cast out devils; [he] shall speak with new tongues; [he] shall take up serpents; and if [Patrick] drinks any deadly thing, it shall not hurt him; [Patrick] shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

Many people misinterpret that passage – they say that when you believe or when you have faith, these signs will come. But that’s not what Jesus said; He said, when you go and preach the gospel, some will believe, and these are the signs that will follow those who believe.(Mk 16:15-17). It’s for every believer. So are you saying that a newly born again believer can cast out demons and heal the sick and all that? An emphatic YES , when that believer is made to understand what it means to operate ‘in Jesus name’.

Understand this dear one: WHEN YOU PRAY AND ACT IN HIS NAME, IT IS NO LONGER YOU BUT HIM. THE POWER TO PERFORM IS FROM HIM AND YOU ARE MERELY REPRESENTING HIM AND STANDING IN HIS STEAD. You don’t need faith for this. Just do as He has asked you to do ‘in His name’ and watch the Lord perform. For many of us, the Word of God is too good to be true – We expect that there are some hidden conditions, and that’s how we fail to produce results. But if only you will accept God’s Word as true and act on it. IF ONLY. Selah!

YOU ARE BLESSED INDEED!
