GO WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS
(God Always Endorses Those He Sends)
TO THE BIBLE
Hebrews 2:4
“God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?”
LET’S TALK
When God wanted to deliver the children of Israel out of Egypt, He sent Moses and gave him the necessary credentials for the task. To take them into the Promised Land, He sent Joshua with His full backing. To save the world, He sent His Son Jesus in the form of a man. God always sends men to men. You might ask, “Can a man know that God has sent him?” Emphatically yes!
When John the Baptist wanted to know if Jesus was the Christ, he sent two of his disciples to go find out about Jesus. The Master’s response was simply remarkable; He outlined His credentials: “…Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: ‘The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them’” (Matthew 11:4-5).
Whenever God wants to do something for a nation or a people, He sends them a man, and He gives him the necessary credentials for ministry. He has sent you to your “world”—your sphere of contact—to be His representative. And He’s made His limitless power available to you through the Holy Spirit and the Word! So, you can function in the same grace and power as Jesus and the apostles did, and you can have the same kind of results.
GO DEEPER
Mark 16:20
And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
Acts 10:38
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
PRAY
Dear Father, I function in your grace and power today, as I yield myself to be taught, inspired and strengthened by the Holy Spirit, through the Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
