"And Jesus came and spoke to them,
saying, 'All authority has been given to
Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe
all things that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to
the end of the age.'"
............Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus announced that all authority had
been given to Him and He gave that
authority to the disciples in the Great
Commission.
The disciples were to go and make more
disciples of all nations, teaching them
whatever Jesus had taught them,
including healing and delivering those
who were demon possessed.
"And He said to them, 'Go into all
the world and preach the gospel to
every creature. He who believes and
is baptized will be saved; but he who
does not believe will be condemned.
And these signs will follow those who
believe: In My name they will cast
out demons; they will speak with new
tongues; they will take up serpents;
and if they drink anything deadly, it
will by no means hurt them; they will
lay hands on the sick and they will
recover.'"
............Mark 16:15-18
Healing and deliverance belongs to
all those who are disciples of the Lord
Jesus Christ - not only the right to be
healed but also the authority to minister
healing and deliverance to others.
These things will follow those who will
believe, if those who believe are willing
to do what Jesus said.
LORD,
We are a part of those who have been
disciples of all the nations.
Thank You for the power and authority
that has been given to us to do the same
works that You gave to the first disciples.
And the same signs will follow us!
............In the name of Jesus!
